Go to the Labyrinth of East London Lore






It is now over 150 years since the German Settlers arrived in the Eastern Cape. To celebrate the occasion, the New Labyrinth of East London Lore has revamped its Settler website to present you with a more comprehensive history of this event.

Good news! Broken Promises, my new and very thorough retelling of this story, is almost complete and will be launched later this year, probably on 27 September 2012. If you would like to be updated on the progress of this book, please contact me.
