Bishop Gray's diocese
at this time was the largest in the world after Calcutta. His first visitation
extended through the Cape Colony, including Kaffraria and the Albany district.
He was hospitably received by the Dutch Reformed ministers, who placed their
pulpits at his disposal. "...the journal contains an excellent description
of the state of the Colony in the middle of the nineteenth century, the author
visiting a very large number of towns, villages and missionary and other
settlements." See Mendelssohn, vol. 1, p. 628. The second tour took Bishop
Gray through the Karoo to Colesberg, crossing the Orange River and then on to
Natal, British Kaffraria and the Eastern Province, returning to Cape Town nine
months later.

Davidson's newspaper
career took him all over southern Africa. He describes politics in Rhodes's time,
and his meetings with Melton Prior, E. Webster Davis, Colonel Schiel, Edgar
Wallace and others during the South African War, 1899-1902. He also worked in
Rhodesia, Natal and finally as editor of the Star in Johannesburg. A meeting
with Deneys Reitz prompted the reflection that Reitz would be better remembered
for his books than his politics, since "political activities are ephemeral
and apt to be opportunist, whereas his books will be read by generations as yet
unborn" p. 164.

Jopie Fourie
(1878-1914) was born in Hartebeesespruit and educated at Grey College in
Bloemfontein. He took part in the suppression of the Jameson Raid and served
with distinction in the 1899-1902 war. His calmness under fire was legendary.
He opposed Botha and Smuts's alignment with Britain when WWI broke out, and was
one of a group of 43 rebels from the 13th Mounted Rifles captured near
Pretoria. Fourie's last letters, including one to Louis Botha (then Prime
Minister of South Africa, and the man who signed his death warrant) are moving
to read. He signs himself "Uw getroue soldaat". He became an icon of
Afrikaner resistance to Britain after his execution.

Signed by the "Coventry Four" on the dedication page. R 500
"The Coventry Four" were
individuals who worked for the Armaments Corporation of South Africa. They were
arrested in the United Kingdom for breaking the arms embargo against South
Africa. This case represented a significant break in relations between South
Africa and its, at that time, most steadfast supporter in the western world,
Margaret Thatcher's UK. That the four were illegally procuring arms in the UK
seems a taken fact, even in this book by the SA Government's former legal
representative. With undertakings given to the British Courts by the SA
Government itself, the four were released and allowed to return to South
Africa. Later that year six SA citizens who were under detention orders entered
the British Consulate in Durban and were given asylum.The British Government
did not force the "Durban Six" to leave the Consulate and the SA
Government then revoked their promise that the "Coventry Four" would
return to Britain to stand trial. An interesting insight into the apartheid
government's modus operandi. Scarce in any form and very unusual with the
signatures of all four men.

Nat Nakasa was born in

RAND DAILY MAIL. He left South Africa
on an exit visa, barred from ever returning, to take up a journalism
scholarship at Harvard University. He committed suicide in New York at the age
of 28, three days before Ingrid Jonker's suicide, in July 1965. He did not see
South Africa in racial terms and wrote: "My people are South Africans.
Mine is the history of the Great Trek. Gandhi's passive resistance in
Johannesburg, the war of Ceteswayo and the dawn raids which gave us the treason
trials in 1956. All these are South African things. They are part of me."
Gordimer wrote of Nakasa: "…he was a new kind of man…with easy dignity and
natural pride in his Africanness.".

Henry Barrington
arrived at the Cape of Good Hope in 1838 and travelled to George. Here he met
Captain Thomas Duthie of Belvidere from whom he purchased the farm Portland (formerly owned by
George Rex). Until his death in 1882, Barrington kept a concise daily farm
journal, notebooks, and maintained a weekly correspondence with his brother
Lowther in England. Both brothers' letters were kept by the family, providing
an amazingly complete record of the time.

John Hancock, an 1820 Settler. Through the means of a plain narrative based on

family, from England to Algoa Bay, Salem, Grahamstown and Port Elizabeth. He
participated in the Frontier Wars, travelled north to Natal in 1849 and

At the time of writing, Rhoodie
was Counsellor at the South African Embassy at The Hague. He was later Minister
of Information in John Vorster's cabinet. He examines the hostility expressed
against South Africa in the overseas press which was regarded as a great threat
by the then Nationalist government. Rhoodie analyses the reasons for the
hostility, its sources, the relative importance and facts and figures. He
believed that opposition to apartheid was exacerbated by the press. In later
years Rhoodie attempted to influence matters by establishing a newspaper in
South Africa [THE CITIZEN] to promote government policy- but he did so with
secret funds which led to corruption charges and ultimately the fall of
Vorster.

Ward was the wife of
an officer in the 91st Regiment, and lived on the frontier during the "War

Ward's view much mischief had resulted from misrepresentation of affairs by
interested persons and that if the Governor of the Cape had been able to act
according to circumstances, instead of waiting months for despatches, and Sir
Benjamin D'Urban's proposed measures had been carried out, "it would have
made the Boers our friends instead of enemies" Mendelssohn, vol. 2, p.

Using new genetic,
archaelogical and climatic evidence, Oppenheimer argues that all modern
non-Africans can be shown to have sprung from a single successful exodus. In
1988 it was discovered that everyone alive on the planet carries DNA that can
be traced back to a single woman living in Africa, 150 000 years ago.
Oppenheimer proposes that instead of many waves of ex-Africa migration
resulting in gradual population of the world, a single migrant band of a few
hundred left its homeland due to increasing salinity of the Red Sea 80 000
years ago- and all can trace their DNA to one woman from this group.

Iced & Hot coffee". The diner has a selection of Hors d'oeuvre to
choose from which range from "Salted Peanuts" to "Crayfish
Tartare". He can choose between a cream and a clear soup of different
flavours, before moving on to fish (e.g.Halibut and Oyster Sauce), entrees,
joints (e.g. Fillet of Beef Vichy), roasts (e.g. Norfolk Turkey Bath Chap),
vegetables, a cold buffet (including Fillet of Gosling), salads, sweets (e.g.
Bombe Nesselrode) and savouries (e.g. Canape Diana). Surprizingly for the
