'History is...a matter of fact or perspective' (Tracy DW)

Influenced by her work in school on Black History projects and a desire to see a global approach and a balance of perspective in teaching history, Tracy DW presents 'A Story for South Africa'

The eighth story published in the 'Stories to be tolled' series tells how the land known as the 'Transvaal' and the legacy of its people, the Bantu tribes, were undermined by conflict and territorial dominance imposed by the Dutch and the British. The author also looks at the country's journey through Apartheid towards freedom and independence. What are the key events that have shaped South Africa today?

Guiding the reader through key events and mile stones in the Empire Phenomenon, 'Stories to be tolled' is a poetic narrative about Britain's colonial past; presenting a perspective on why the British took control of so many countries, how it maintained its power and its impact on the many ethnicities and cultures that were changed forever.
