Main article: History of Cape Colony
Little is known about the nearly 500 years from 500 AD to the date of first European contact. The first explorers to reach South Africa were the Portuguese, drawn southwards in hope of finding a sea route to India and Asia to replace costly and time-consuming land routes through central Asia.

History of South Africa - Rewriting history.
Following the elections, focus turned to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (1994–1999), which worked to expose crimes of the apartheid era under the dictum of Archbishop Desmond Tutu: "Without forgiveness there is no future, but without confession there can be no forgiveness." Many stories of horrific brutality and injustice were heard by the commission, offering some ca ...

History of South Africa - The Boer republics.

For a while, it seemed that these republics were developing into stable states, despite having thinly spread populations of fiercely independent Boers, no industry, and minimal agriculture. Then the Boers' world was turned on its head in 1869 with the discovery of diamonds near Kimberley. The diamonds were found on land belo ...
