The Burgher Monument by Hantie Kruger

I am reading the novel by Peter Court, 'Hear the Ringdove Call'. I am so moved by the real life human stories of people who were caught up in the Siege of Ladysmith and its aftermath. South Africans 2019 should learn lessons from this horrifying history of friends and neighbors who became enemies in war.

Hans Dons by Adriaan (At) M de Lange

Julle kan 'n uitgebreide WEB-werf oor Hans Dons maak. Hy is my 7de voor-vader. Ek skryf 'n boeke oor VRYHEID en die rol wat dit speel in 'n holistiese siening van evolusie versus revolusie. Ek het die boek "Die Wit Kraai" as geskenk gekry toe ek 11 jaar oud was. Dit het 'n vonk veroorsaak wat nou se jare (74, rolstoel gebonde, 2 krukke loop) soos 'n groot vuur deur die vlaktes brand. Ek benodig goeie fotos van familie asook sy reise as verkenner. My oupa-groot, (99 jaar, ek 7?jaar) Herzogville, het my vertel hoe hy tot diep in Botswanna tot by die panne en Zimbabwe (ander Boere name in daardie jare) was om na die ruienes te kyk. Ek het mettertyd gaan kyk en mettertyd 'n woestynloper soos die San geword. Boesmanland, Richtersveld en seekus van die dood (Namibia) het van my paradyse geword. My storie word te lank. Best wense -- At (Adriaan)
