Intro[edit]
Greetings[edit]
Hi I am fairly new here, however, South Africa has such a fascinating history that much more can be done to uplift many of the articles about South Africa's history.
Languages[edit]
Many of the English articles can be enriched especially because of the existence of Dutch and Afrikaans literature which possess homegrown information which are unique to the South African perspective of historical events throughout the centuries. Hence the name Boershistory.
Proficiency:
- English (strong)
- Afrikaans (strong)
- Dutch (medium)
- Sesotho (weak)
- German (weak)
