This is the 150th anniversary of the arrival of the German Settlers into the Eastern Cape. To celebrate the occasion, Knowledge4Africa is revamping its Settler website to present you a more comprehensive history of this event. The new story will appear in a serialised form. Keep watching the space below!

Sorry for the delay since the last posting. I am in a critical phase in trying to complete my book on the German Settlers which we hope to have ready for launch in July 2008. Time, however, is very short in which to finish it and get it to the publishers!
