Profiles of Historic Southern Africans

A lot work and sacrifices have occurred to shape southern Africa into what it is today. Some people have done more than others, some have sacrificed more than others, some may be considered to be heroes, some are considered to be villains. Some lay in their graves without the world knowing of the heroic deeds that they took to the grave or worse that led them to the grave. These are the unsung heroes of southern Africa, some are world renowned, some are only known with the borders of the country they called their mother land.
