TOPIC:

MC Heunis in Bloemfontein leads a living history group called the OVSAC. The OVSAC has written several very well-researched and referenced monographs on ABW topics.

David,

A fantastic addition to the site. A big thank you to both MC and yourself.

David,

I went straight onto the Boer cuisine section and found it both highly informative and an enjoyable read discovering the resourcefulness of the burghers through adversity. Also a few touches of humour!

I look forward to working my way through the rest of M C Heunis' topics.

Recommended reading.

Thank you both.

Steve
