My apologies. I stand corrected. My knowledge of South African history was limited to what little was taught by the U of CA when I was 19: Nelson Mandela, diamonds and racism. Can you recommend a history book so I can catch up?
Ex PE 60's,70's,80's FB Group, book called Long Walk to Freedom, The Young Mandela, SA a history FB Page. I was born and brought up in SA all my life and grew up under the Apartheid Era, and saw the struggle on both sides of the colour bar. On PBS Channel their is often a history channel depicting the struggles. See movie 12 years a slave or Amistad - the struggle for people of colour - Trevor Noah program and show and his book by Trevor Noah. I grew up at the same time as did Trevor Noah from South Africa. America and the Civil rights movement mirrors that of the struggle faced in SA.
Called Born a criminal. Also Obama - Tales from my Father. Long walk to freedom by Nelson Rholihlahla Mandela and his time on Robben Island. SA a history. The group ex PE 60's70's80's group on Facebook has interesting posted articles on South Africa and its history. I am heading home for a visit end of June this year after so.e 17+ years of being an ex-pat South African abroad. Once a South African always a South African. I love Trevor Noah. Watched him at the correspondents' dinner.

Thank you. I'm already a fan of Trevor Noah. Watch the Daily Show every night. Didn't know Noah wrote a book. I'll look into it.
