Show notes
The 1913 Natives Land Act didn't just dispossess black South Africans—it sparked organized resistance that birthed the ANC. But the story doesn't end with the Act's passage. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the immediate aftermath: how communities fought back, the role of the newly formed South African Native National Congress, and the forgotten story of the 1914 campaign to petition King George V. We follow Sol Plaatje's journey to Britain, the legal challenges mounted by early African lawyers, and the long shadow the Act cast on land ownership for generations. This is a deep dive into a pivotal moment of defiance that shaped South Africa's future. #SouthAfrica #NativesLandAct #SolPlaatje #ANC #SANNC #1913 #LandDispossession #Resistance #Petition #KingGeorgeV #AfricanLawyers #PixleykaIsakaSeme #JohnDube #BeaumontCommission #OrangeFreeState #ColonialHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
