The Battle of Rhenosterkop (also known as the Battle of Renosterkop) took place on November 29, 1900, during the Second Boer War. The British, led by Arthur Paget, launched an assault on Viljoen's position at Renosterkop, which consisted of three primary attacks. All assaults failed, with the Boers repelling the assault, however retreating at night due to a lack of supplies.
