People of the Dew: A History of the Bafokeng of Rustenburg District, South Africa, from Early Times to 2000 - Hardcover
The Bafokeng tribe has become an established and well-known community in South Africa with a reputation that can be attributed to their considerable wealth derived from platinum mining and direct investment in mining ventures. Employing written, oral, and archaeological sources, this detailed history traces the emergence of the Bafokeng, their settlement in the western Highveld, and their consolidation under various capable leaders during the period of white rule from the 1830s to the early 20th century. It explores, among other topics, the Bafokeng’s history with missionaries, their land acquisition, and their disputes with the powerful white minority. One of the first books to document the Bafokeng people, this record provides insight into one of the remaining South African monarchies.
