Des Latham on a very quick history of South Africa

Des Latham is a musician, historian, and pilot.

He hosts a brilliant series of podcasts from the history of South Africa, to the Anglo-Boer war, to the battle of Stalingrad.

In this conversation, Des touches on why learning about the geological formation of the land matters; how we have a politicIsed and romanticised view of history; when farming began in southern Africa; how and why conflict arose between the various population groups; and why South Africa won't become like Zimbabwe.
