In die eerste drie hoofstukke word Simon van der Stel se jeugjare op die eiland Mauritius en later in Batavia, sy verblyf in Nederland en sy aanstelling in 1677 as goewerneur van die Kaap bespreek. Die opkoms van 'n elite, hulle sosiale bedrywighede en die ontwikkeling van 'n koloniale kultuur aan die jong kolonie kom daarna aan die bod. Die laaste twee hoofstukke word gewy aan die omstrede en ongewilde goewerneurskap van Wilhem Adriaen van der Stel, wat sy vader in 1699 opgevolg het en in 1707 teruggeroep is na Nederland. Met die dood van Simon van der Stel in 1712 aan die Kaap word die vestigingsera van die kolonie afgesluit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Karel+Schoeman\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eKarel Schoeman\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Karel Schoeman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47375400566947,"sku":"9781869192730","price":385.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781869192730_85592c07-17b6-449c-b70a-2f8da234c152.jpg?v=1776606544"},{"product_id":"9781485305743","title":"Paul Kruger Toesprake en Korrespondensie 1881-1900","description":"\u003cp\u003ePaul Kruger Toesprake en korrespondensie, 1881-1899 probeer om die klem te plaas op minder bekende briefwisseling en optredes van Kruger om sodoende 'n verteenwoordigende beeld van staatspresident Kruger se werksaamhede en standpunte aan te bied.

Almost all of the former POWs stated this 'fact' at the beginning of each interview. When one considers that they returned home in 1945 to a country which soon afterwards tried its utmost to promote national amnesia with regard to the country's participation in the war and that the official war history project was unceremoniously stopped, it is perhaps understandable that these men found it unusual that someone would be interested in their stories many years later.\u003cbr\u003eHowever, as one of the former POWs put it, they 'saw history from the inside'. Seeing the war from the enemy's point of view and seeing what it did to its citizens changed how all of them viewed the world.

On 11 February 1966, the government declared District Six a white area under the Group Areas Act, and the wholesale removal of the inhabitants was started - mainly to areas away from the city.

Min is bekend oor Tulbagh se lewe in Nederland en oor die persoonlike aspekte van die man wat bekend was as 'Vader Tulbagh, maar Schoeman slaag daarin om uit argivale en gepubliseerde bronne die Kaap tydens sy bewind lewe te gee. In die eerste groep hoofstukke word veral gekonsentreer op die Kompanjie en sy werksaamhede: die skeepvaart in en om Tafelbaai, die Kasteel as die sentrum van gesag aan die Kaap en die amptenary wat die werksaamhede van die VOC vlot moes laat verloop en verantwoordelik vir die handhawing van orde in die klein kolonie was. In die volgende hoofstuk word die nedersetting in die Tafelvallei bespreek, wat in Tulbagh se tyd al redelik dig bevolk was. Daarna kom die Liesbeekvallei en die uitbreiding van die kolonie na die Boland en nedersettings soos Stellenbosch, die Drakensteinvallei en die Wagenmakersvallei aan die orde. \u003cbr\u003e\tVolgens prof.

Despite never having traveled in an ox wagon, he commenced a four-year, 7,000 kilometer journey over rough and inhospitable terrain in a custom-built oxen-drawn wagon in June 1811. By the time he returned to Cape Town in 1815, he had amassed a collection of 63,000 specimens of plants, bulbs, insects, reptiles, and mammals - many not previously documented for science - as well as a significant portfolio of paintings and illustrations. While his outbound journey is well documented in his famous two-volume Travels in the Interior of Southern Africa, little is known about the roughly thirty-two months of his return journey between 1812 and 1815. This new book sets out to recreate the second leg of Burchell's epic odyssey - from near Kuruman in the Northern Cape of South Africa, to the Eastern Cape, and back along the southern Cape coast to Cape Town. Drawing on numerous published and primary sources, including Burchell's letters, the authors have created a thought-provoking and beautifully illustrated account of one of the nineteenth century's most brilliant explorers. Today his specimen collections, held at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and at the University of Oxford, are still used by researchers, and his name lives on in the many animal and plant species named after him. This timely publication coincides with the bicentenary of Burchell's first volume of his Travels in the Interior of Southern Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Roger+Stewart\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eRoger Stewart\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Marion+Whitehead\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eMarion Whitehead\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Roger Stewart,Marion Whitehead","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47375606382755,"sku":"9781775848158","price":470.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781775848158_7dc4f24a-70f1-4b7e-8d58-c731b69f8d0c.jpg?v=1776574971"},{"product_id":"9781770100725","title":"Native Life in South Africa","description":"\u003cp\u003eNative Life in South Africa is one of South Africa's great political books.
