		Both praise and blame have been heaped upon the British South Africa Company for its rapid northward sweep, to the accompaniment of clashes with the Portuguese, war against the Matabeles in 1893, and a native rebellion in 1896.(22) The Jameson Raid, described in Chapter 7, was carried out with the Company's troops.
