Oh, I did, no worries there. It was the effect of the Mzilikatze, a huge war by the Zulu'sand Matebele who drove the people of the land, so that when the Voortrekkers arrived, they founddwestroyed villages (This is also the view of a book Iam now reading, written by Sol Plaatjies, first leader of the ANC!)

But I am glad to see you attack the one of my 3 points were there is some leeway. I would love to know your view on the other two, namely that much of the land was bought, and that a land seizure is disasterous, as seen in Zim.
