Oi, Gente, hoje o podcast é em homenagem a Nelson Mandela, que se estivesse vivo, ontem estaria fazendo aniversário de 107 anos. Mais do que isso, é um dia de luta pela liberdade, pelos direitos humanos, pela justiça e pelo combate ao racismo.Nesse episódio eu conto um pouco da vida do Madiba, que passou mais de 20 anos na prisão, saiu e lutou pela liberdade de seu povo contra o apartheid e se tornou o presidente unificador da África do Sul.

Programete #72 – Dia de Nelson Mandela – Data: 18/07/2025 O professor Renato Ferreira Machado, relembra os 107 anos do nascimento de Nelson Mandela, celebrados em 18 de julho, data reconhecida pela ONU como o Dia Internacional Nelson Mandela. Exemplo mundial de luta por justiça, democracia e igualdade, Mandela dedicou 67 anos à defesa dos direitos humanos e enfrentou 27 anos de prisão por combater o apartheid. Sua trajetória inspira a construção de uma sociedade mais justa e pacífica, baseada no respeito e no aprendizado do amor.
The Mandela Effect, named by paranormal researcher Fiona Broome in 2010, refers to collective false memories where groups misremember events or details, like Nelson Mandela dying in the 1980s (he died in 2013). Psychological studies, such as Loftus and Palmer's 1974 experiments, demonstrate how language can distort memories, while Broome suggests alternate realities or timeline shifts as causes, though these lack scientific support. Examples include misremembering the Berenstain Bears as “Berenstein,” Monopoly's Rich Uncle Pennybags with a monocle, or Darth Vader saying “Luke, I am your father” instead of “No, I am your father.” Historical cases involve myths like Columbus discovering the Americas first or Vikings wearing horned helmets. The International Mandela Effect Conference (IMEC) explores quantum theory connections, but psychological factors like memory fallibility and social influence are more accepted. While the phenomenon sparks curiosity about human memory, it can also foster distrust in reality, fuel conspiracies, and highlight cognitive fragility, potentially undermining shared historical truths.

As the SABC celebrates its 75th year, another historical moment in our country's history was the Convention for a Democratic South Africa CODESA; a series of multi-party negotiations in South Africa from 1991 to 1993, aimed at ending apartheid and establishing a democratic government. It involved various political parties, including the African National Congress (ANC) and the National Party (NP), and focused on drafting a new constitution and establishing an interim government. Negotiations covered crucial topics such as the structure of the new constitution, the establishment of an interim government, and the future of the divided homelands. Let us hear more from the late former South African President Nelson Mandela on the formation of CODESA...
Prophetic Remixes Vol 1 – A Tribute to Prophets of Da City For me, this project is more than just a remix album—it's a personal journey, a tribute, and a deep expression of gratitude. I still remember the first time I heard Prophets of Da City (POC) back in 1990 when their debut album Our World dropped. As a hip-hop fan growing up in South Africa, their music wasn't just entertainment—it was an awakening. POC didn't just make beats and rhymes; they made history. Their hard-hitting lyrics and groundbreaking production hit me just as hard as the first time I heard Public Enemy. It was raw, urgent, and unapologetic—revolutionary in every sense. POC were more than just a hip-hop group; they were pioneers, activists, and truth-tellers. At a time when South Africa was drowning in apartheid oppression, they used their music as a weapon against injustice. From battling censorship to being exiled from their own country, their impact was undeniable. Their accolades speak for themselves: 1990: Nominated for the OKTV Award for Best New Group. 1992: Invited by Quincy Jones and Caiphus Semenya to perform at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. 1993: Embarked on a national voter education campaign leading up to South Africa's first democratic elections. 1994: Performed at Nelson Mandela's inauguration, delivering their powerful track "Excellent, Finally Black President." 1997: Featured in Ice Cube's film Dangerous Ground. 1990s: Conducted numerous European tours, a groundbreaking achievement for any South African hip-hop group at the time. POC's influence has been so profound that they've been studied in academic works, including:

Patrice Lumumba, de eerste premier van Congo, is vooral bekend omdat hij in 1961 op lugubere wijze werd vermoord in opdracht van België. Want hij zou een gevaarlijke revolutionair zijn die het land in chaos zou storten. Dat hij veel meer was, een bruggenbouwer, zoals ook later Nelson Mandela, is veel minder bekend. En dat moet veranderen, vindt universitair docent postkoloniale studies Sibo Kanobana. Kanobana schreef het boek Lumumba's droom. Wat zijn gedachtegoed ons vandaag kan leren en is te gast.
En 1961, Nelson Mandela entre en clandestinité à la demande de son parti l'ANC (l'African National Congress), interdit depuis un an par le pouvoir sud-africain.

It's Thursday, June 26th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Iranian Christians vulnerable to arrest, falsely accused of espionage Christians in Israel and Iran are experiencing fear and uncertainty during recent conflict between the two countries. Christians already face arrest in Iran for simply leading a house church. An Iranian believer told International Christian Concern, “The Iranian government is now arresting anyone caught taking or sharing photos and videos with news outlets. Christians are especially vulnerable, as they risk being accused of espionage and deemed a threat to national security. If their faith is discovered, the consequences are far worse.” Iran is ranked ninth on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult countries to be a Christian. Hebrews 13:3 says, “Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also.” ICE arrested 11 Iranian nationals, one served as Iranian army sniper U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 11 Iranian nationals over the weekend. The individuals entered the U.S. illegally, and one of them reportedly served as an Iranian Army sniper. Officials are on high alert for extremist attacks after the U.S. bombed Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday. Iran has threatened to carry out retaliatory terrorist attacks using sleeper cells in America. Trump thrilled that NATO paying their fair share The NATO military alliance of western nations held its 2025 summit in the Netherlands this week. NATO countries agreed to raise defense spending to 5% of annual gross domestic product over the next 10 years. That's up from the current target of 2%. This comes after U.S. President Donald Trump has called on European countries to contribute more to the defense budget of the alliance. Listen to comments from Trump. TRUMP: “This is a monumental win for the United States, because we were carrying much more than our fair share. It was quite unfair, actually. But this is a big win for Europe and for actually, Western civilization.” Muslim socialist beat Andrew Cuomo in NYC Dem primary for mayor A Muslim socialist won the Democrat primary for New York City mayor on Tuesday. Remarkably, Zohran Mamdani, age 33, defeated former Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo in the race. (Watch his election night victory speech) MAMDANI: “Tonight, we made history. (cheering) In the words of Nelson Mandela, ‘It always seems impossible until it is done.' (cheering) My friends, we have done it. (cheering) I will be your Democratic nominee for the mayor of New York City.” (cheering) Mamdani has served as a New York state lawmaker. He campaigned on making the Big Apple more affordable, calling for free public transit, rent freezes, and universal childcare. If elected, he would be the city's first Muslim mayor. President Trump sounded off on Truth Social. He wrote, “Zohran Mamdani, a 100% Communist Lunatic, has just won the Dem Primary, and is on his way to becoming Mayor. We've had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous. … He's got [U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]. … and even our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin' Chuck Schumer, ,,, groveling over him.” Two-thirds of churchgoers attend weekly The Exploring the Pandemic Impact on Congregations project released a new report on U.S. churchgoers this month. The survey found two-thirds of respondents attend services weekly. And over 80% report stable or increased attendance compared to five years ago. The survey noted a positive outlook: “Many more respondents said their religious faith and spirituality had strengthened since the pandemic. Likewise, financial giving has increased, as has involvement and volunteering.” In terms of newcomers, 38% of churchgoers began attending their church since the COVID-19 pandemic. Of these new attenders, nearly a third never attended church before or are returning to church after years of not participating. Astronauts from India, Poland and Hungary head to Int'l Space Station Astronauts from India, Poland, and Hungary blasted off for the International Space Station yesterday. It's the first time astronauts from those countries have gone to space in over 40 years. Axiom Space arranged the flight which launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The mission is part of NASA's effort to open space to private companies. Axiom is among several American space companies hoping to put their own space stations into orbit. The Polish astronaut on the mission said space “is not only for the biggest agencies anymore—space is for everyone.” Psalm 8:3-4 reminds us, “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?” 8 Worldview listeners gave $3,375 to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our $123,500 goal by Monday, June 30th to fully fund The Worldview annual budget for our 6-member team, 8 listeners stepped up to the plate.

Send us a textA voice rises from Nigeria's capital, speaking directly to a nation in pain. Amidst the horrific killings in Benue State, this heartfelt message confronts the deafening silence surrounding the violence while offering a counterintuitive path forward. The speaker, deeply connected to Benue through colleagues and friends, wrestles openly with the tension between justice and peace.Drawing from Nelson Mandela's extraordinary example of forgiveness after 27 years of imprisonment, the talk explores what it means to pursue peace when vengeance feels justified. "How do you say I should pray for somebody who is killing me?" the speaker asks, acknowledging the difficulty while still pointing toward this radical response as "the height of true power." Rather than looking to failed political leadership, listeners are encouraged to mobilize "the force of peace" through spiritual resources.The most powerful moment comes when comparing the bloodshed in Benue to Christ's sacrifice: "Jesus was killed, but his blood cried salvation." This reimagining of violence not as a call for revenge but as a catalyst for redemption offers a profound alternative narrative. As the message concludes with reference to a unifying song by Nigerian artists Giz Baba and Loris Oyo, we're reminded that even amid tragedy, the Nigerian spirit of resilience remains unbroken. "We will not turn back now," becomes both promise and defiance—choosing hope when despair would be easier. For anyone struggling to find light in darkness, this message offers a challenging yet deeply human response to suffering.Support the showYou can support this show via the link below;https://www.buzzsprout.com/1718587/supporters/new
In his powerful message Since Freedom, Pastor David Osborne explores Romans 6:14 and challenges us to truly live like people who have been set free by God's grace. Drawing from both Scripture and the wisdom of Nelson Mandela, Pastor David reminds us that freedom isn't the end—it's the beginning of a new way of life. Since we've been freed from the dominion of sin, we are no longer slaves to our old nature. We've died with Christ and now live with Him, called to walk in righteousness and use every part of our lives for God's glory. Freedom means more than casting off chains—it means choosing a path of holiness, transformation, and obedience. This message calls every believer to step into the power of grace and live like sin no longer has control—because it doesn't.

Denier épisode de cette série consacrée à la Coupe du monde de rugby 1995, un événement historique pour l'Afrique du Sud qui sortait tout juste de l'apartheid ; et la naissance d'une nation arc-en-ciel portée par Nelson Mandela. Trente ans plus tard, le pays est l'un des plus inégalitaires du monde, en plus du chômage de masse et d'une très forte criminalité. Cet été, un dialogue national aura d'ailleurs lieu dans le pays pour ouvrir un nouveau chapitre de la démocratie. Dans ce contexte, que reste-t-il de la mentalité arc-en-ciel de juin 1995 dans le rugby ? Quel est son héritage chez les plus jeunes ? RFI s'est rendu au nord de Johannesburg, dans l'un des plus anciens clubs de rugby de la ville. De notre correspondant à Johannesburg, Un soir chez les Diggers, un club de rugby de la ville de Johannesburg, en Afrique du Sud, nous rencontrons Daniel, salarié du club, il avait 20 ans en 1995. « J'étais au stade, on scandait tous ‘Nelson, Nelson, Nelson'. Et j'ai compris pourquoi, parce que cette poignée de main avec notre capitaine, c'était plus qu'une simple formalité. C'était le symbole de l'union », se remémore-t-il. Une poignée de main qui change le pays et les clubs de rugby. « C'était l'un des plus grands changements pour ce club aussi, car notre club a été fondé avant l'apartheid. Et aujourd'hui, nous sommes un club arc-en-ciel. Comme un grand tableau coloré », explique Ricky, vice-président des Diggers. Parmi les joueurs présents ce soir-là, Dubz, maillot sur le dos et bonnet sur la tête pour affronter le froid, il s'intéresse particulièrement à l'héritage de 1995. « Il y a encore un fossé entre les gens, notamment sur le plan économique. On doit alors trouver un moyen de combler ce fossé et d'une certaine manière le sport parvient à le faire. Moi, par exemple, j'ai débarqué comme ça chez les Diggers. J'ai garé ma voiture là-bas. Les entraîneurs étaient au bord du terrain. Je les ai salués en parlant afrikaans – c'est aussi ça, la diversité que Madiba nous a enseignée. Et maintenant, je fais partie du groupe. Parce qu'ici – et dans le rugby en général – il n'y a aucun profil type. Nous avons toujours eu cette mentalité de 1995 et je l'aurai toujours. J'arrêterai d'y penser seulement quand je serai six pieds sous terre ! Un jour, mon fils me demandera, "papa, c'est qui ce Mandela ?" Je lui répondrai que c'était notre premier président, celui qui nous a tous réunis grâce au sport », raconte-t-il avec enthousiasme. Au bord du terrain, deux jeunes de 19 ans. Dont Josh, qui n'a pas connu la première Coupe du monde sud-africaine, mais celle-ci lui a été maintes fois racontée : « 1995, c'était important pour le sport, mais aussi pour que le monde entier voie que l'Afrique du Sud était en train de changer. Mon grand-père jouait au rugby à l'époque de l'Apartheid, mais il n'a jamais pu jouer à haut niveau, parce que c'était plutôt réservé aux Blancs. En Afrique du Sud, il y avait des barrières solides entre les gens et le rugby a trouvé le moyen de les faire tomber. » Trente ans plus tard, la société sud-africaine est toujours confrontée à de nombreux défis. « Si la société fonctionnait comme notre club de rugby, le monde irait mieux », nous confie Dubz avant d'entrer sur le terrain.

Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in prison for standing up to unfair laws in South Africa. When he was finally free, he helped bring peace to a divided country. Hear how one man's bravery helped change the world.
C'était un 24 juin, il y a 30 ans tout pile. C'était jour de finale à Johannesburg, où l'Afrique du Sud gagnait sa première Coupe du monde de rugby. Un tournant dans l'histoire du pays, avec l'implication directe du nouveau président élu, Nelson Mandela, et son projet de nation arc-en-ciel, après l'apartheid. Ce 24 juin 1995 voit les Springboks soulever la coupe Webb Ellis et le pays entier vibrer. C'est l'éclosion de cette fierté d'une nation unie par le sport, prête à se réconcilier. RFI est retourné sur les lieux de cette finale historique, au stade Ellis Park, accompagné d'un de ceux qui ont foulé la pelouse le 24 juin 1995. De notre correspondant à Johannesburg, Nous avançons dans un long couloir chargé d'histoire. Il relie les vestiaires à la pelouse. Trente ans plus tôt, le 24 juin 1995, le jour de la finale du Mondial de rugby, Rudolf Streauli l'empruntait en tant que joueur : « J'étais impatient d'arriver au bout de ce couloir. » À l'époque, il entre sur le terrain avec le numéro 19 dans le dos. « Le président était assis là. Nous, on sentait le stade vibrer », se souvient-il. Devenu un temps entraîneur des Springboks, l'ancien joueur de près de 2 mètres dirige aujourd'hui le club de Johannesburg, les Lions, basé à Ellis Park. Le stade de la finale de 1995 est donc devenu son bureau : « Après avoir soulevé la coupe, je voulais jouer un plus grand rôle. Je suis fier de m'occuper du stade et de vous montrer notre musée aujourd'hui. » Un musée qui retrace l'histoire du rugby sud-africain. Avec, évidemment, des photos de Nelson Mandela, l'ancien président qui a fait de cette première victoire en Coupe du monde un tournant pour l'Afrique du Sud. « Quand il est arrivé avec le maillot numéro 6, c'était une surprise. On était tous nerveux, mais positivement », se remémore-t-il. Sam Nyaniso est salarié du club et nous accompagne le temps de la visite. Et même si ce fan de rugby travaille avec le champion du monde depuis des années, il n'est jamais à court de questions. « Rudolf, sans Mandela, tu penses que vous auriez gagné ? », interroge-t-il. Et le joueur de lui répondre que Madiba avait « joué un rôle central. Son projet pour le pays nous a évidemment motivé ». « Moi, j'avais 11 ans, j'ai regardé la finale sur une petite télévision. Les gens sont sortis dans la rue, ils klaxonnaient. Blancs et Noirs se prenaient dans les bras, témoigne Sam Nyaniso. Et quelques années plus tard, quand Rudolf est devenu coach, mon père a été recruté pour travailler avec lui. C'est lui sur cette photo. » « Le rugby, c'est un sport qui peut changer une société », estime Rudolf Streauli. Quant à Sam Nyaniso, il mesure la force et l'impact du rugby sur sa propre trajectoire : « Pour un gars comme moi, cela a ouvert tellement de portes. Je n'oublierai jamais cette finale ! » Trente plus tard, l'Afrique du Sud reste un pays fracturé et particulièrement inégal. Rudolf Streauli, fidèle à la mentalité de 1995, continue donc d'utiliser le rugby comme un vecteur d'unité et d'espoir pour les Sud-Africains.

Cette semaine, RFI consacre une série de Reportage Afrique aux 30 ans de la Coupe du monde de rugby de 1995 en Afrique du Sud. Un événement sportif, mais surtout politique, puisque Nelson Mandela s'en est servi comme d'un outil pour prôner la réconciliation dans le pays. Auparavant, le régime d'apartheid tenait à ce que la ségrégation soit aussi appliquée dans le sport, et les joueurs noirs étaient exclus de l'équipe nationale des Springboks, alors symbole de la culture afrikaner et cible de boycott à l'international. Cependant, les communautés noires et métisses ont une histoire avec le rugby qui remonte bien avant 1995. Les chercheurs s'emploient à la documenter. De notre correspondante à Johannesburg, Dans ce labyrinthe de rayonnages, tout au bout d'une allée, se trouve une section consacrée à l'histoire des formes de résistances face à la ségrégation dans le sport. Parmi les trésors rassemblés, Ajit Gandabhai exhume d'anciens documents sur de vieux clubs de rugby qui existaient dans les communautés noires et métisses. « Ici, on a une brochure commémorative du club de rugby des Newtonians, qui a été formé en 1948. Il y a également des compte-rendus de réunions qui se sont tenues », montre-t-il. Ajit Gandabhai et son équipe ont récolté des archives auprès d'anciens joueurs ou directeurs de clubs. Car afin de sauver cette histoire de l'oubli, il a fallu aller au-delà des sources traditionnelles, qui passaient volontairement sous silence les pratiques sportives multiraciales. « La presse officielle ne couvrait pas le sport non ségrégué. Mais cette histoire doit être racontée, et plus uniquement à partir de 1995 », clame-t-il. Arrivé en Afrique du Sud par le port du Cap, avec les colons britanniques, le rugby s'est propagé au sein des communautés noires via les missionnaires et leurs écoles au XIXe siècle. La passion de la balle ovale s'est particulièrement emparée de la province du Cap-Oriental, au sud du pays. Un mot, en langue xhosa, a donné son titre à l'un des ouvrages co-écrits par le chercheur Buntu Siwisa. « Le terme "umbhoxo" signifie la forme hexagone, pour désigner le ballon qui n'est pas rond. Le fait qu'on ait décrit cette forme en xhosa permet une déconstruction décoloniale de qui peut s'approprier le rugby. C'est aussi notre sport », explique le chercheur. Ces clubs de rugby jouaient aussi un rôle dans le mouvement de résistance contre l'apartheid, selon l'enseignant de l'université de Johannesburg : « Déjà à l'époque, c'était beaucoup plus que du sport. C'était un outil de mobilisation politique. Par exemple, les militants frappés d'interdictions, qui ne pouvaient pas être vus dans des rassemblements, se servaient des clubs comme de lieux où ils pouvaient se retrouver, planifier des actions. Et les stades dans lesquels on jouait au rugby pouvaient être utilisés pour d'immenses funérailles politiques. » Quant aux spectateurs noirs et métis qui suivaient les matchs internationaux, ils supportaient bien souvent d'autres équipes ennemies des Springboks, et notamment les Néo-Zélandais, qui avaient un effectif plus mixte. Ce qui fait qu'encore aujourd'hui, on peut trouver nombre de fans des All Blacks dans les stades sud-africains. À lire aussiRugby: en Afrique du Sud, au coeur de la fabrique à Springboks des lycées

En el año 1995, durante un acto de reconciliación en Sudáfrica, Nelson Mandela invitó a su carcelero a sentarse en primera fila de su toma de posesión como presidente. Al final del evento, lo abrazó públicamente. Aquel hombre había sido parte del sistema que lo oprimió por 27 años. Sin embargo, Mandela eligió perdonar. Su gesto no fue solo político, fue espiritual. “El odio es una prisión”, declaró. “El perdón es libertad”. De la misma manera, el perdón no se basa en la justicia humana, sino en la gracia divina. El Señor Jesús perdonó desde la cruz. No esperó que lo merecieran. No exigió explicación. Simplemente amó. Cuando decides perdonar, no estás excusando el mal, sino eligiendo vivir libre del peso que te encadena. No solo bendices al otro, sanas tu propio corazón. Por lo tanto, si llevas una carga de rencor, permite que Dios te libere. Tal vez el acto más poderoso que hagas esta semana no sea predicar, sino perdonar. La Biblia dice en Colosenses 3:13: “...soportándoos unos a otros, y perdonándoos unos a otros... De la manera que Cristo os perdonó, así también hacedlo vosotros” (RV1960).
The years between 1865 and 1870 would bring a tangle of new challenges for the people of the south. Drought gripped the land with merciless fingers in 1865 and 1866, only to return with cruel insistence between 1868 and 1869. Livelihoods withered, landscapes turned brittle. And yet, amid the dust and desolation, there was a glint of promise on the horizon, a hint of glitter in the forecast. British Kaffraria — that volatile strip of land east of the Kei — had been the stage for repeated wars between the British Empire and the amaXhosa. By 1866, the inevitable had come to pass: the territory was formally annexed to the Cape. This was not a popular move in the Cape Parliament. Most members balked at the idea, not out of principle, but pocket — British Kaffraria was a drain on the Treasury, propped up entirely by funds from London. The Cape, in its self-conscious autonomy, wanted no part in the bill. But Attorney General William Porter reminded his fellow parliamentarians that their indignation was selective. The Cape itself, he said, could not “talk big and look big” when its own house was being kept warm with British money. Independence in name meant little, he warned, if the machinery of government still ticked by the grace of Empire coin. But before the ink was dry on the annexation, another, more immediate matter took precedence — the fate of the amaMfengu, along with the amaNgqika and amaGqunukhwebe. The structures of amaXhosa political authority had already been dismantled within British Kaffraria. Now, as the imperial tide rolled further inland, it was the amaMfengu who found themselves repositioned — this time as subjects to be moved, their loyalty rewarded not with land, but with a fresh dislocation. Soon, the area around Butterworth became an amaMfengu stronghold. Many local amaXhosa were absorbed into their ambit — politically subdued or socially assimilated. For the British, this migration had a twofold effect. It removed thousands of Black residents from British Kaffraria, freeing up land under Crown control. And it advanced a broader goal: clearing the way for the Cape Parliament to annex the territory, albeit reluctantly and under pressure from Westminster. Just to flick the future switch for a moment — Back to the Future, in 2003, a constellation of dignitaries descended on Phokeng for the coronation of Kgosi Leruo Molotlegi of the Bafokeng. That's near Rustenberg just for clarity. Among them were Nelson Mandela, Mangosuthu Buthelezi, First Lady Zanele Mbeki, and the Queen Mother of Lesotho. A drought pressed down on the land in 2003, dry and unforgiving, but the dusty heat did little to mute the occasion's quiet grandeur. For a small nation to command such presence — to draw the gaze of the region's most prominent figures — spoke to something more than mere ceremonial gravity. It hinted at a deeper, long-cultivated influence. This is the story of how the Bafokeng came to be recognised as one of South Africa's most quietly successful peoples — not by avoiding the tides of history, but by learning, early on, how to navigate them. From their dealings with the Boers and Paul Kruger, to their survival under apartheid's grip, the Bafokeng carved a path few expected — and fewer still understood. There's an almost whispered history here, a counterpoint to the dominant narrative of dispossession and defeat. The Bafokeng lived on land of consequence long before that significance was measured in ounces of platinum. It wasn't until the metal was prised from the earth beneath their feet that the rest of the country — and eventually, the world — began to pay attention. But the roots of their agency run deeper, older. They reach back to a time when Paul Kruger was still cobbling together unity among the Voortrekkers, long before his epic confrontations with the British had begun.
