Today we are talking about a man so tough - that they nicknamed him the “White whirlwind” 

So, who was he? His name was Johan Colenbrander.
 
He fought in the Zulu War, was an advisor to King Lobengula of the Matabele, and then, during the 2nd Anglo-Boer War, set up a unit of frontiersmen called ‘Kitchener's Fighting Scouts’ - now that is a cool name.
