The Lydenburg Stones of Boomplaas
Scattered across hundreds of square miles of South Africa's Province of Mpumalanga are some of the most fascinating and mysterious stones and boulders on earth. Believed to have been done by Indian migrants who crossed the Indian Ocean thousands of years before the African Bantu race migrated south from Central Africa some 600 years ago.
These sites contain some of the best concentric circle engravings found anywhere.

| The Right Perspective Theuns Cloete Transvaal Vierkleur Orange Free State Boerevolk Boer Republics. |
The Right Perspective: Theuns Cloete / Boervolk Radio. 1/9.
This is the first part of an interview conducted by the shortwave / internet radio program: The Right Perspective that they did with Theuns Cloete of Boervolk Radio on Jan 6 2007 on the 150th anniversary of the Transvaal Vierkleur flag: one of the most recognizable symbols of the Boerevolk. The Orange Free State Vierkleur flag would also become 150 on Feb 23 2007. The interview was an hour long with no breaks & will be posted here in 9 parts.
The history of the Boers is often told from a Western / British or Afrikaner point of view & thus often from a skewed perspective. This interview is refreshing & important as the Boers' history is explained & told from a Boer perspective.
The facts concerning the Boers are often obscured as the Boers have been overshadowed for the past 100 years most notably by the Afrikaner Nationalists: the Cape based political heirs to the artificial macro state of South Africa created by the British & imposed onto the region.
The Boers trekked from the Cape Afrikaners & the western Cape beginning in the late 1600s & throughout the 1700 when they were nomadic migrating farmers known as the Trekboers occupying the northern & eastern Cape frontier where some later settled down & were known as Grensboere or Border Farmers. A large number of their descendents became known as the Voortrekkers who left the eastern Cape en mass -mainly due to British Colonialism- to trek into the largely uninhabited (due to the Difaqane) interior were they would establish numerous Boer Republics of which the Transvaal Republic (also known as the South African Republic which was composed of the former Potchefstroom Republic / Lydenburg Republic / Rustenburg Republic / Utrecht Republic & the Zoutpansberg Republic) & the Orange Free State (the northern part of which was the former Winburg Republic) were recognized by other governments around the world.
The Sand River Convention signed on Jan 17 1852 between the British & the Transvaal Boers recognized the independence of the Boers north of the Vaal River. This lead to the independence of Boer Republics north of the Vaal River which would coalesce into the South African Republic on Jan 6 1857.
The Orange River Convention signed on Feb 17 1854 between the British & the Transorangia Boers recognized the independence of the Boers north of the Orange River up to the Vaal River. This lead to the independence of the Orange Free State on Feb 23 1854.
The Boer Republics were conquered on May 31 1902 by the British at the conclusion of the the second Anglo-Boer War after 27 000 Boer civilians died in the British run concentration camps. This represented the death of close to 50 % of the total Boer child population of the republics & is one of the main reasons how they were able to be overshadowed for the next 100 years by other forces ascending to power in the region.

1856 The Boer Republics
The Boer Republics (sometimes also referred to as Boer states) were independent self-governed republics created by the Dutch-speaking (proto Afrikaans) inhabitants of the Cape of Good Hope and their descendants (variously named Trekboers, Boers and Voortrekkers, but today collectively known as Afrikaners) in mainly the northern and eastern parts of what is now the country of South Africa.
Although some of these republics were already founded from 1795 onwards during the period of Dutch colonial rule at the Cape, most of these states were established after Britain took over from the Netherlands as the colonial power at the Cape of Good Hope. Subsequently a number of its Dutch-speaking (proto-Afrikaans often called "die taal") inhabitants trekked inland in 1835 in order to escape British administrative control in a movement that became known as the Great Trek. Several of these states were established after military defeats of the indigenous population by the Voortrekkers/Boers by virtue of their technologically superior weaponry.
The Voortrekker usually skirted the most densely populated areas, trekking into largely depopulated areas which were the result of the Mfecane or Difaqane initiated by the Zulu King Shaka in the 1820s. When the Voortrekkers encountered locally established groups/nations, they tended to opt to negotiate, turning to warfare only when attacked.
The Voortrekkers under the leadership of Piet Retief obtained a treaty from the Zulu King Dingane to settle part of the lands the Zulus administered or held sway over, but Dingane later changed his mind, killing Retief and 70 members of his delegation. Dingane's impis (Zulu warriors) then went on to kill almost 300 Voortrekkers who had settled in the Natal region.
After Andries Pretorius was recruited to fill the leadership vacuum created by the deaths of Piet Retief and Gerhard Maritz, he initially offered to negotiate for peace with Dingane if he were to restore the land he had initially offered to Retief. [1] Dingane responded by attacking the Voortrekkers; on 16 December 1838 the battle of Nacome River (later named the Battle of Blood River) occurred, during which 300 Voortrekkers survived and won a decisive battle against thousands of Dingane's impis.
The Natalia Republic was established in 1839 by the local Boers after Pretorius entered into an alliance with Mpande, the new Zulu king.
The territories north of the Vaal River in the Transvaal were officially recognized as independent by Great Britain with the signing of the Sand River Convention on 17 January 1852. [2] The territories and districts of the Transvaal were Potchefstroom, Lydenburg and Zoutpansberg, which united in 1857 to form the South African Republic.
The Orange Free State was recognized as independent by Great Britain on 17 February 1854. The Orange Free State became officially independent on 23 February 1854 with the signing of the Bloemfontein or Orange River Convention. The Orange Free State was nicknamed the model republic.
The New Republic (comprising the town of Vryheid) was established in 1884 on land given to the local Boers by the Zulu King Dinuzulu the son of Cetshwayo after he recruited local Boers to fight on his side. The Boers were promised and granted land for their services & were led by Louis Botha who would go on to prominence during the second Anglo-Boer War. This republic was later absorbed into the Transvaal/South African Republic.
States were also established by other population groups, most notable the Griqua, a subgroup of South Africa's heterogeneous and multiracial Coloured people. Most notable among these were Griqualand West and Griqualand East.
While some of these were mini-states which were relatively short-lived some, especially the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, developed into successful independent countries which along with Britain were also officially recognized by the Netherlands, France, Germany, Belgium and the United States. [3] These two countries continued to exist for several decades, despite the First Boer War with Britain. However, later developments, including the discovery of diamonds and gold in these states, led to Second Boer War. In this war the Transvaal and Orange Free State were defeated and annexed by the overwhelmingly larger British forces and they officially ceased to exist on 31 May 1902 with the signing of the Treaty of Vereeniging. A new British colony, the Union of South Africa, was subsequently established in which the Transvaal and the Orange Free State became provinces along with the Cape and Natal.

| The Right Perspective Theuns Cloete Boer Republics. |
The Right Perspective: Theuns Cloete / Boervolk Radio. 7/9.
This is the seventh part of an interview conducted by the shortwave / internet radio program: The Right Perspective that they did with Theuns Cloete of Boervolk Radio on Jan 6 2007 on the 150th anniversary of the Transvaal Vierkleur flag: one of the most recognizable symbols of the Boerevolk. The Orange Free State Vierkleur flag would also become 150 on Feb 23 2007. The interview was an hour long with no breaks & is posted here in 9 parts.
The history of the Boers is often told from a Western / British or Afrikaner point of view & thus often from a skewed perspective. This interview is refreshing & important as the Boers' history is explained & told from a Boer perspective.
The facts concerning the Boers are often obscured as the Boers have been overshadowed for the past 100 years most notably by the Afrikaner Nationalists: the Cape based political heirs to the artificial macro state of South Africa created by the British & imposed onto the region.
The Boers trekked from the Cape Afrikaners & the western Cape beginning in the late 1600s & throughout the 1700 when they were nomadic migrating farmers known as the Trekboers occupying the northern & eastern Cape frontier where some later settled down & were known as Grensboere or Border Farmers. A large number of their descendents became known as the Voortrekkers who left the eastern Cape en mass -mainly due to British Colonialism- to trek into the largely uninhabited (due to the Difaqane) interior were they would establish numerous Boer Republics of which the Transvaal Republic (also known as the South African Republic which was composed of the former Potchefstroom Republic / Lydenburg Republic / Rustenburg Republic / Utrecht Republic & the Zoutpansberg Republic) & the Orange Free State (the northern part of which was the former Winburg Republic) were recognized by other governments around the world.
The Sand River Convention signed on Jan 17 1852 between the British & the Transvaal Boers recognized the independence of the Boers north of the Vaal River. This lead to the independence of Boer Republics north of the Vaal River which would coalesce into the South African Republic on Jan 6 1857.
The Orange River Convention signed on Feb 17 1854 between the British & the Transorangia Boers recognized the independence of the Boers north of the Orange River up to the Vaal River. This lead to the independence of the Orange Free State on Feb 23 1854.
The Boer Republics were conquered on May 31 1902 by the British at the conclusion of the the second Anglo-Boer War after 27 000 Boer civilians died in the British run concentration camps. This represented the death of close to 50 % of the total Boer child population of the republics & is one of the main reasons how they were able to be overshadowed for the next 100 years by other forces ascending to power in the region.

Piece of Africa 3
Ashlea and her stones on Thaba Tholo. These white quartz stones are used in the Jewellry that we make. Ashlea and Hannah inspired the jewellry range as they have always collected these beautiful stones which they call crystals. We decided to use the stones instead of diamonds etc as there is no impact on the environment and there is no 'conflict' involved.
