A long-form historical project exploring South Africa’s past through landscape, climate, movement, power, and people.
This site accompanies the History of South Africa podcast and serves as a permanent archive of essays, timelines, and thematic explorations covering the region from deep prehistory to the modern era.
The emphasis here is on chronology, evidence, and context — resisting simplification, presentism, and polemic in favour of careful narrative history.
More essays are listed in the archive.
