Description

An account of a journey through South Africa from the Limpopo River to Cape Agulhas. The intervening road takes the reader to such diverse places as the Transvaal homelands, the prehistoric sites of Mapungubwe and Makapansgat, Sun City, the diamond fields, the strange enclave of Orania, the Great and Little Karoo and Die Hel. In spite of the diversity of setting, and the even greater diversity of ideology and belief encountered en route, certain recurring themes emerge. Beneath the political show more turmoil of a country in profound transition (and gripped with drought), there emerges a clear sight of the universal human struggle to survive and find individual significance. show less
