deanbean Posted June 16, 2015 Share Nongxwauses Pool has to be one of the best Xhosa stories of all time, pity most Xhosa's don't know it.I don't know about being the best, but it is the most tragic, and a turning point in the Xhosa wars.I managed to dig up Credo Vusimazulu Mutwa's books on the Bantu history, "Indaba My Children" and "Africa is my Witness". Worth a read for anyone interested in the Southern African oral history stories. Along with Peires' and Bekker's books Edited June 16, 2015 by deanbean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJR Posted June 18, 2015 Share This morning I rode the "tunnel of light" to school with my two boys and then on to work. Great fun, I got there half frozen but oh so sharp! This pic was taken in Newlands along the Liesbeek River trail. Edited June 18, 2015 by DJR Edge540, deanbean, BenReaper and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanbean Posted June 20, 2015 Share The farmers, and one wife (just wish her husband would join us too), took on the ride over the hills of Quanti/Bolo area today. Near the confluence of the Thomas River and the Great Kei. We had a great ride, but one of our number had to borrow a bakkie to get back home, his legs went , so we got a lift too  Overlooking the KeilandsSome Eland on a game farm, they were a lot closer Downhill to the turning point,from where it was all uphill gravel road, so I took no more pics DJR, BenReaper, Harryn and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
