"We are from Europe." "Oh, we are too." Kids, throw away those South African history textbooks. Or those coffee table history books with pictures of Kirstenbosch or Groot Constantia or the Company's Gardens on the cover. Or those serious historical works that proclaimed that South Africa's system of apartheid between the descendants of European immigrants and native Africans began in 1652 when a motley bunch of sailors and soldiers arrived in Table Bay to build a refreshment station for the fragile ships of the Dutch East India Company. Throw them away, because they are all untrue.
We are all European
We are all European
We are all European
