Start at the beginning and prepare to be entertained and enlightened with each listen.
Brilliant narration and flawless content bring to life an oft-forgotten conflict that must be understood if one hopes to understand the two World Wars that followed.

An intricate and finely woven narration of a time in South Africa’s history that still resonates to this day. Desmond transports you back in time that with a little hint of imagination you can smell the veld and dust and lydite. Should be mandatory listening for every South African.

I’ve enjoyed getting to know more of the intimate details of the conflict, and have thoroughly enjoye... more

I work at sea and spend many hours doing tasks that leave me the opportunity to have an earphone in. Your voice has become synonymous with these tasks, whilst I lap up the history of our complex yet beautiful nation. Other staple must-listens are The History of South Africa and SA Border War for anyone looking to better understand South African history from a refreshingly neutral point of view. Dankie oom Des.
