Daniel
Dunn of the Western Cape, South Africa:
Tour Guide in the Spotlight
 "One
of the most valued friendships we've enjoyed in
recent years, occured during our May 2001 visit to
South Africa, while in the company of
Daniel
(Dan) Dunn of Cape
Town. During four great days of dawn to dusk
touring by minivan, Dan not only showed us many of
the Cape area's top attractions, but added spice to
the occasion by relating a wide variety of local
facts and legends. In my opinion, the most
intriguing stories involve Daniel's own family, a
line which descended from
John Dunn, whose
story is related in a book by Charles Ballard.
Excerpts from that book will appear on this web
site and in coming editions of Africa Travel
Magazine. We are sure you will enjoy it."

About South
Africa:
- The rich
diamond mines of Kimberley and gold
discoveries on the Witwatersrand, changed
South Africa virtually overnight, from a
backward area into one of the world's
richest countries.
-
Archbishop Desmond
Tutu's racial harmony message was, " Let
us be channels of love, of peace, of
reconciliation. Let us declare that we
have been made for family, that, yes, now
we are free, all of us, black and white
together, we, the Rainbow People of
God."
-
The word Apartheid"
stands for segregation of various races
and separate development programs.
Apartheid's core policy was created by
British policies of the early
1900s.
-
Much of South
Africa's territory, beyond the
metropolitan areas, seems almost empty.
For example, great stretches of the
Kalahari are virtually uninhabitable.
Grazing lands and farms in the Karoo and
Free State occupy vast areas. Settlements
are spread sparsely along the
watercourses.
