“The history of the Eastern Cape frontier may evoke different interpretations, but what cannot be disputed is that it involves the ancestors of people from all over the world.

The confluence of African and European cultures in this region shaped modern South Africa. And it’s a story that must be told…”

…the Alan Weyer Experience

Born, bred and educated in the Eastern Cape; a true son of the Frontier region and of farming stock going back 4 generations, Weyer’s interest in history and people began as a young boy roaming the family farm with his companions and friends; wondering about the lives of those who had once lived in the ruins which littered the farm.

In 2004 Alan launched his lecture series: Spirits of the Past at South Africa House in London where he spoke to a sold-out audience.

He is an award-winning raconteur.
