A note from the Simple South African.
Greetings to readers across the world. First of all, I would like to apologise for the spasmodic publishing of my blogs. The statistics indicate that over the time of my writing, there have been over 40 000 hits, who have read many pages, encouraging me to continue writing.
I have been going through a bit of a rough time, and am in the middle of moving to another city, Pretoria, some 50km from Johannesburg. This is being done to enable us to be a little nearer to family, which I have missed for many years (close to 60 years) when I worked away from Cape Town initially (my ‘growing up years). The upheaval when I left home, eventually , over many tears of moving around), eventually arriving in Johannesburg, have resulted in very little real contact with family, hopefully now resolved by moving to Pretoria (the legislative centre of South Africa).
I will be taking up the blog ‘history’ for South Africa from the time of the early settlers, and the trials and tribulations that arose when people of very different values, languages and cultures started to occupy the African continent. One of the themes I will pursue arises from the question ‘how could we have done it better?’
Till next time –A simple South African.
