On today’s episode, we dive back into the Boer Wars, focusing on the tumultuous events leading up to the conflict and the complex relationships between the British Empire and the Afrikaner settlers.

We explore the origins of Afrikaner identity, the economic implications of the gold discovery in the Transvaal, and the pivotal figures like Paul Kruger and Cecil Rhodes who shaped this era. As tensions rise, we discuss the disastrous Jameson Raid and its repercussions on British-Boer relations, culminating in the declaration of war that would set the stage for one of the first modern conflicts.

Join us as we unpack these historical intricacies and their lasting impact on South Africa.
