Description:

On this episode I sit down with John Wright, a historian at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. We discuss the origin of the term difaqane/mfecane and what it has meant within the context of South African history over the centuries. We also use this as an opportunity to understand the nature of South African life in the interior to the north easterly coastal boundaries over the course covered by this period.
