The Mfecane - known as the Difaqane or Lifaqane in Sesotho - was a period of profound political, social, and demographic transformation in southern Africa during the early nineteenth century. The Nguni word mfecane translates roughly as "the crushing" or "scattering," while the Sesotho difaqane means "forced migration" or "the hammering."

Strandfontein is a pretty little coastal village situated on the West Coast at the mouth of the Olifants River.  Strandfontein’s high cliffs provide excellent views across the sea ideal for spotting whales during season from the late winter into early spring.
