Medium Paperback
The Secret Letters of Jan van Riebeeck Sensational! Bizarre! Typical! Long concealed by the authorities, Jan van Riebeeck s surreptitious correspondence with his cousin in Holland reveals the often grotesque truth of what actually took place in the early Cape Colony.
* Who was CHEESE BLAAUWTJOPP? And why do official records of the Dutch East India Company never refer to Van Riebeeck s right-hand man?
* Was MARIA VAN RIEBEECK a secret rum suip?
* What was the killer venereal disease that threatened those early pioneers and how did they catch it?
* What luminous green plant was named after the Cape Colony s first gardener, HENDRYK BOOM?
* What was Van Riebeeck s true policy towards the Bushmen?
* Was the ale-house THE RUB & GOFFEL the venue for South Africa s first live sex-shows?
THE SECRET LETTERS OF JAN VAN RIEBEECK is a landmark publication which will mercilessly strip away the carefully constructed historical myth surrounding South Africa s Founding Father.
