Everything/Anything and…Chess…"Despite the documented evidence by chess historian HJR Murray, I've always thought that chess was invented by a goddess"–George Koltanowski: from the foreword to:"Women in chess, players of the Modern Age"

South African Stamps

15/07/2007 by Nikita

These stamps were brought out to commemorate certain events…or people/animals …the first one is our well-known artist…one of many… J H Pierneef …
then the insects…part of our world!
Rock-painting…beautiful art!
Wolraad Woltemade…a very brave person who gave his life to save people from a wrecked ship…he went into the sea…7 times and lost his own life…!
Follow link here…http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolraad_Woltemade
and then, our famous poet/writer…Langenhoven! A very clever and wise man…he also wrote the words of our National Anthem…”Die Stem van Suid–Afrika!”
(the old one which have some stanzas incorporated in the “new” one)
Click on each stamp and it will open up as a larger image





More Stamps…..at the bottom….

1. “Volkspele“, which is a traditional dance
2. The British Settlers of 1820
3. To save water…that was in 1970 as the date tells you on the stamp
4. Physical Education…it was also in the late 1970’s

  • Spoken by great men:"Give me 20 divisions of American soldiers and I will breach Europe. Give me 15 consisting of Englishmen and I will advance to the borders of Berlin. Give me two divisions of those marvellous fighting Boers and I will remove Germany from the face of the earth." - Field Marshal Bernard L. Montgomery, Commander of the Allied Forces during WW2.

  • "The Americans fight for a free world, the English mostly for honour, glory and medals, the French and Canadians decide too late that they have to participate. The Italians are too scared to fight, the Russians have no choice. The Germans for their Fatherland. The Boers? Those sons of Bitches fight for the hell of it." American General, George 'Guts and Glory' Patton.
