An asteroid the size of Table Mountain crashed into what was to
become South Africa over 2 billion years ago, marking the spot. The
country’s history since then has always been robust and full of
energy. This book takes you in record time from that moment, when
the earth’s richest gold reefs were shaped, to the advent of
democracy in 1994, another event that stunned the world, and
beyond. Along the way you will encounter some of the most ancient
dinosaurs on record, the very first people on the planet, and the
first cultures. You will see outsiders moving in to reshape
history: hunters and gatherers, cultivators and herders,
iron-workers from the north, and immigrants from Europe and Asia.
They fought and made peace; they stumbled upon gold and diamonds;
they rose to the heights of excellence and sank to the depths of
oppression, until on one day they all queued as equals to elect a
government. That is the story marked by dinosaurs, diamonds and
democracy.
