Thank you so much for putting this newsletter together for us. I really love reading it, it feels so good that South Africa's heritage is so well documented and cared for. I found History such a bore at school but this is so well written and informative that I always feel inspired to roadtrip and reference your articles while doing so. THANK YOU!
