The Republic of South Africa is a country located at the southern tip of Africa, with a 2,798&_160;kilometres (1,739&_160;mi) coastline [7][8] on the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. [9] To the north lie Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe; to the east are Mozambique and Swaziland; while Lesotho is an independent country wholly surrounded by South African territory. [10]Modern humans have inhabited Southern Africa for more than 100,000 years. At the time of European contact, the dominant indigenous peoples were tribes who had migrated from other parts of Africa about one thousand years before. From the 4th-5th century CE, Bantu-speaking tribes had steadily moved south, where they displaced, conquered and assimilated original peoples of southern Africa. At the time of European contact, the two major groups were the Xhosa and Zulu peoples.<--estimated population?--> In 1652, a century and a half after the discovery of the Cape Sea Route, the Dutch East India Company founded a refreshment station at what would become Cape Town.[11] Cape Town became a British colony in 1806. European settlement expanded during the 1820s as the Boers (original Dutch, Flemish, German and French settlers) and the British 1820 Settlers claimed land in the north and east of the country. Conflicts arose among the Xhosa, Zulu and Afrikaner groups who competed for territory. The discovery of diamonds and later gold triggered the 19th-century conflict known as the Anglo-Boer War, as the Boers and the British fought for the control of the South African mineral wealth. Although the British defeated the Boers, they gave limited independence to South Africa in 1910 as a British dominion. Within the country, anti-British policies among white South Africans focused on independence. During the Dutch and British colonial years, racial segregation was mostly informal, though some legislation were enacted to control the settlement and movement of native people, including the Native Location Act of 1879 and the system of pass laws.[12][13][14] Power was held by the European colonists.

1. World Cup Qualifier- France qualifies to the World Cup by beating Ireland
November 20, 2009
France qualified for the World Cup after beating the Republic of Ireland with an overall 2-1, with a draw in the second leg 1-1. The game took place in the Stade de France on Wednesday. The match took a dramatic turn when France, stuck behind Ireland 1-0 for most of the match, scored a questionable goal after an illicit move by Thierry Henry during the extra time.
The game determined which team would enter the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and Ireland entered with high hopes; the Republic hadn’t classified for the last World Cup, in Germany in 2004.
Ireland lost the first leg of... (read more)

16. Explore The Anglo-Boer War Battlefields
November 19, 2009
4th to 6th April 2008 with Ken Gillings
On the 9th October 1899, the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek issued an ultimatum to Great Britain demanding the withdrawal of troops from its borders and that all troops en route to South Africa by sea should not land on its soil.
Great Britain viewed this ultimatum with disbelief, dismay, disinterest and delight and chose to ignore it. Consequently, 48 hours later, the Anglo-Boer War broke out on the 11th October 1899.
