South African History: 1652 – 1902

Published 14 mrt. 2018

Online South African history documentary on the Battle of Spion Kop, the bloodiest battle of the Anglo Boer War in South Africa 1899 – 1902, where Winston Churchill reported that up to seven bombs per minute were landing on top of the Spion Kop mountain with massive clouds of orange lydite and that the British soldiers in the trenches were being blown to atoms.
Known as the ‘Acre of Massacre‘, it remains the smallest piece of ground on which more men lost their lives in a single battle than any battle fought anywhere in the world and it is here, witnessing what the human race was capable of, that the seeds of Mahatma Gandhi’s passive resistance took root.

Leading up to this moment in history are some of South Africa’s major historical events going as far back as 1652.
Including:
The arrival of the first settlers in South Africa and the origins of the Afrikaner people
Conflicts in the history of South Africa 1652 – 1902
Black White and British Boer conflicts in South Africa 1652 – 1902.
The British after burning many Boer farms set up concentration camps where disease was rampant which resulted in 29.000 Afrikaners and over 20.000 black people; men, woman and children dying in these camps.

Presented by South African Military Historian Ray Heron from Spion Kop Lodge and produced by Tekweni TV Productions
