  • Information Is Worthless
    Your Southern African Travel Specialist SAFARIS There is a reason why safaris are the top choice of activity in South Africa. With close to 3 million hectares of the country covered in national parks and private game reserves of varying landscapes from deserts, mountains to coastlines, there is plenty of room for creatures big and small to survive in their most natural and protected habitat. And its our pleasure and blessing to be able to witness them up close whether from the safety of a game vehicle or on foot in the company of experienced and highly qualified rangers. Accommodation options range from basic self-catering units right the way through to 5-star ultra-luxurious private lodges and plenty in-between. A brief description of the major game reserves and national parks to be found in our country follows below: RESERVES / PARKS Kruger National Park Reputed to be larger than Israel, the Kruger is South Africas most famous and largest game park. Boasting nearly 2 million hectares of diverse terrain and landscapes hosting a vast number of flora and fauna species. Established in 1898 to protect South African wildlife, the park is the flagship of other parks in the country. About 4-5 hours drive from Johannesburg, the park is an easy self-drive destination offering numerous restcamps, as well as private lodges operating within their own concessions. Being a National Park, Kruger is open to the public and driving is strictly limited to the marked roads. No off-road driving permitted unless by a licensed game vehicle within a private concession.

  • Rolling up Rivonia: 1962–1963 GARTH BENNEYWORTH*
    South African Historical Journal, 2017 https://doi.org/10.1080/02582473.2017.1332086 Rolling up Rivonia: 1962–1963 GARTH BENNEYWORTH* Sol Plaatje University; McGregor Museum, Kimberley Abstract Liliesleaf was purchased in 1961 by the South African Communist Party and it functioned as a nerve centre for the liberation movements and key leaders of that era. The significance of Liliesleaf is that this was a place where the transition into a new form of struggle, namely armed struggle occurred, making an icon of that struggle for freedom. Liliesleaf marks a seminal shift in South Africa’s liberation struggle history. On 11 July 1963 the police raided Liliesleaf. Their rolling up of Rivonia in turn culminated in the Rivonia Trial. For the apartheid government this was a coup. For the liberation movement, it represented a blow. Many theories abound as to how the police identified Liliesleaf. This paper presents new information about these complex and myriad historical events. The paper shows that the raid was the culmination of a much longer term investigation by various state agencies and not only the Security Branch of the South African Police. Key words: Liliesleaf; Rivonia; Mandela; intelligence; SADF; Security Branch; direction finding; Umkhonto we Sizwe; South African Communist Party; African National Congress Introduction Popular culture portrays the South African Police Security Branch experiencing a lucky Downloaded by [Mr Garth Benneyworth] at 06:32 15 August 2017 break when they raided Liliesleaf farm in the then peri-urban suburb of Rivonia, Johannes- burg on 11 July 1963. Security Branch (SB) is popularly perceived as a proverbial Mr Plod staffed with witless policemen, who bumbling along, finally caught up.1 Contemporary lit- erature suggests that when 14 Security Branch including Lieutenant Van Wyk and an Alsa- tian called Cheetah leapt from their dry cleaning van at Liliesleaf to raid the premises, they had little idea of the enormity of the haul they were about to make.
