A tribute to the natural beauty of South Africa, with music by Enya.
The first part of the music is the song "Book of Days" which forms part of the sound track for the movie "Far and Away", about the European pioneers (voortrekkers) in America. On the same theme, I included some material about the Voortrekker Monument in Pretoria. There are many similarities between the experiences of the pioneers in America and South Africa, but with very different end results.
I sometimes wonder how Americans would have dealt with the situation if, instead of Europeans dominating their country, they only formed a 10% minority, while native Americans and settlers from other continents made out the rest.
This country has so many resources and such vast potential. If her people work together and if the country is governed according to sound principles as tried and tested in developed societies, this could once again become one of the richest countries in the world.
Why should lack of foresight, greed and incompetence be allowed to prevent all the people of this wonderful country to reach their full potential?
