great presentation! I also really liked the explanation at the beginning, it helps to explain a bit about South Africa.

It really is a melting pot of cultures and history. Not many people know that the British basically invented Concentration Camps during the Anglo-Boer War where they kept Afrikaans women and children as prisoners. The Afrikaans basically invented Guerilla warfare in response.
Throw in some history of the Zulu culture becoming powerful warriors and chasing other tribes inland, and even winning a battle against the British (I sang a song about that here - https://ecency.com/hive-105786/@jasperdick/pzrritet) and you really have a story where it's amazing that we are one united country now! The challenges continue but it is a beautiful place!
