  1. The rabbit hole also brought me to this .. https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2017-11-16-declassified-apartheid-profits-german-u-boats/ Totally fascinating ! (and distracting)
  2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boer_Revolt Things they dont teach in history class. What a rabbit hole I have been down because of Hitlers Spies in South Africa
  3. Bought this on a whim. What an interesting read. The detailed "factual" nature of the book does get boring in places. It highlights the value the germans placed on Southern Africa. But in terms of the context of events coming out of the Boer War, leading up to WW1 and then WW2, which ulimtalely led to apartheid is fascinating. I would give it 7.5/10 if you are into this kind of thing, but a 4/10 if you like story telling type factual books.

  19. Scan cash crusaders and cash converters for SDS drills. Managed to get mine for R800. It works perfectly well for a home diy'er
  20. We moved to a Montessori based system. Cannot believe how different our daughter is. Just wish we had made the move earlier.
