ABOUT
We dare to deal with this controversial topic.
The radical factors leading up to and the actual 1914 Rebellion. The fascinating talk includes various documents, photos, and letters/postcards in the collection of Jim Findlay.
Hear about the Peace Preservation Ordinances, Policing, resentment from the ABW, British garrisons, pro-German or anti-English attitudes, mobilisation for WW 1, mobilisation for the Rebellion and some more engrossing bits and pieces.
This is a tale that very few English-speaking South Africans know about.
