The South African War

Unfortunately the South African War (Anglo-Boer War) does not feature in the Intermediate & Senior Phase CAPS documents. It  is however now part of the Grade 10 History curriculum.

These presentations are aimed at a younger group. I am not sure how in depth it is taught in Grade 10, but I hope this can help!


Presentation 1: An introduction to the SA War
Presentation 2: Phases of the South African War
Presentation 3: Phases of the South African War (continued)
Presentation 4: The Scorched Earth Policy (Concentration Camps etc.)
Presentation 5: Black Involvement in the South African War and Conclusion.


Some notes on the South African War:

The information is from a textbook "Social Sciences Today Grade 8" and various sources from the internet (I did not reference, as I only used it in class). I also do not own any of the images etc..
