About
The Van Plettenberg Historical Society was established in 1980. A non-profit organisation, it has staged some 175 talks over the last 30 years. Subjects have ranged largely over the fascinating local history (and pre-history) of the area, from the last Ice Age to the comparatively recent past.
Reviews
"I don't think I have ever heard such a sensitively told story of the tragedy of any war or battle. Thank you"

"It was a most enjoyable evening. David Hall-Green is an eloquent speaker who brough the story alive. "

"While I enjoyed Andrew's story telling, there was one ingredient missing in my opinion. At his Isandylwana talk, Andrew also recounted what the Zulus thought about the battle. It would have been interesting to hear what their opinions had been of Rorke's Drift. "
