Nationalism: Nationalism is the feeling of belonging to a nation. Nationalism developed over centuries, from the earliest communities (lineages, tribes, etc.) through to the establishment of kingdoms and on to people rising up against these in order to create nations in which they had rights and could own property.[1]

Prestwich Memorial and Garden

During excavations for a new residential block in Cape Town in 2003, old bones were uncovered! These were decided to be unmarked graves of slaves, dating from the 17th and 18th Century. Archaeologists from the University of Cape Town were called in, as prescribed by the National Heritage Resources Act. This story ended with the opening of the Prestwich Memorial, on the corner of Buitengracht Street and Somerset Road, in 2008. The single-storey building is finished in grey Robben Island slate.
