Description

A story of Kimberley which covers the impact of the discovery of diamonds on all South Africa0́9s people. Both those who lived in the area at the time 0́3 the Batlhaping and their leaders Galeshewe, Toto and Jantjie the Korana and Griqua 0́3 as well those who travelled long distances on foot to earn money for their clans and themselves. Before Johannesburg existed, the Vhavenda would walk from Vhembe to Kimberley 0́3 a distance of about 1000km 0́3 and would rest for a period at a halfway point. A resting place in Tshivenda is 0́−chiawelo0́+. Later the area became part of Soweto and is now one of its suburbs. The root of the Bafokeng0́9s wealth and money for the purchase of guns by Kumkani Langalibalele of the amaHlubi are some of the less known consequences of the discovery of diamonds.--
