The nearby present-day town of Weenen (Dutch for "weeping") was named by early settlers in memory of the massacre.
The first attempt by the South African Republic (Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek or ZAR) to form a professional full-time artillery unit was Batterij Dingaan (Dingaan Battery), which could be seen as the forerunner of the Transvaalse Staatsartillerie.
In reverend Francis Owen's company he met Zulu chief Dingane, and also got acquainted with captain Allen Gardiner.
