Produktbeschreibung
The repetition of many of the names is because these people factually all existed and the narrative about them is historically accurate. Of interest, is that the colonisation of the small peninsula at the tip of Africa took place almost two centuries before the European scramble for colonial rule across the rest of the continent. At twenty, Maria van Riebeeck marries a rehabilitated criminal, the infamous Jan van Riebeeck, to become the wife of the first commander of the European settlement of future Cape Town in sixteen-fifty-two from an edict by The Dutch East India Company -Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie - VOC. After annexing the land and building a fort, with assistance from the indigenes, the population grows from the incoming steady trickle of both Europeans and slaves alike. After the van Riebeecks leave, major transformations under Governor Simon van der Stel take place to properly establish a colony. After his death, The Groot Constantia wine estate, which was the jewel of the Cape at the time, changes hands and is factually owned by an emancipated slave captured as a child in Bengal ¿ Anna de Koningh.
Autorenporträt
I started my writing career as a financial journalist where, as a stringer, I covered all aspects of the Southern African money markets for London based UPI (United Press International). My next career path was as a copywriter in the advertising industry. For just over twenty years, I was a part of various creative teams and I worked on a number of international brands. Because of my journalistic background, I migrated to become a brand-analyst, and wrote brand-plans for a wide spectrum of market-leading, global trademarks. I co-authored the launch of the Human Rights Campaign covering the first democratic elections for Nelson Mandela's, 'New South Africa.' I personally researched the hugely diverse demographic population and designed the blueprint with a message that had to simultaneously address what is probably one of the widest psychographic audience profiles of any marketing campaign ever launched. The challenge was to target semi-literate hut-dwellers to sophisticated personnel working for multinational giant corporations housed in glittering high-risers ¿ with one campaign. Also, I recently qualified with TEFL 5 certification as an English teacher for higher grades.
