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.

This is not the complete story but an abbreviation of what hopefully will appear in a soon-to-be-completed book called Broken Promises. If you would like to be updated on the progress of this book, please contact me.
