Fading Footprints
In seeking out the ancient folklore tales, the author learns that many are still told to this day by farm workers in forgotten corners of the Northern Cape and that, contrary to common belief, the culture and traditions of South Africa’s first people are still alive. Their footprints have not been erased.
