Deon Venter - Founders - 2002-2003

“Discoverers” and “founders” always evoke a number of emotions and their own particular set of difficulties for us.  They set in motion the irrevocable events which would both create and affect the future nation.  Our perception of these individuals varies with time from that of the elevated hero, when monuments are erected in their honor and their accomplishments exalted in our history texts, to the vilifications and destruction of the monuments, or else their fading in our memory to a place of irrelevance.  The founding of the “new world”, of course, intervened and, in some cases destroyed the ancient societies already established there, creating a complex pluralistic society, still evident today in North America, South America, South Africa, Australia etc.” Deon Venter 2002
