You’re luck if you get to have a Capetown walking tour with Joline.
We had spent 5 days in Johannesburg learning about the history of South Africa, from the Voortrekker move north through the end of apartheid, but hadn’t learned much about the period before the British took over. Joline focused our tour on that earlier history, especially the Dutch slavery. She is truly an expert of this little-studied history, having researched and authored a book on the subject.
I highly recommend spending some time with her.
