good morning buckaroo! thank you so much...well I love old vintage photos and to be able to study the people in them but I didn't know if readers would find it boring or not.
When South Africa was "settled" by whites, were there a forcing out of the native peoples? I don't think I've ever heard stories about that.
Not at all! Except for small villages of the San people most of the country was uninhabited except for the wild animals. The first encounter with black tribes was in a very isolated area. Of course the media don't tell THAT version. They always give the impression that the poor native blacks were forced from their homes. Not true! The biggest dispute over land back then was actually between the British and Dutch settlers.
