Another important discovery- Why did previous white regimes marginalise our past?--- An important heritage site that was kept a secret for political motives.--- Mapungubwe is located at the confluence of the Shashe and Limpopo rivers in Limpopo province. It is one of the most archaeologically important sites yet the South African government kept the history of this heritage site hidden from the public for over 60 years. To understand why the discoveries at Mapungubwe were not made public and educate our children on the subject: Mapungubwe was first excavated between 1933 and 1935. This is what the archaelogists discovered> It was the largest settlement in Southern Africa in the 19th century AD. Gold ore was processed there and artifacts include a number of exquisitely worked god objects,- it was an important trading centre and glass beads indicate that trade with the coast took place, obviously we know for a fact that this trade was unjust and work pretty much for THEM. It is also said it was the first location where cotton was grown and woven into clothing. By the 12th century Mapungubwe was a city ruled by a king; it was plainly obvious that the Mapungubwe site was of some great importance but the authorities and stupid white leaders who cant handle power locked away the artifacts in a vault at Pretoria University. The apartheid regime did not want the findings to be made public nor discovered as Mapungubwe proved that: Black people had created a city state; but the government wanted to portray us as primitive race who would benefit from white civilization.Africans had been in South African/Southern African long before the 1600, of which youll get taught otherwise in formal schooling: Apartheid history taught that Africans had arrived at more or less the same time as the white settlers. What a joke! Redicolous words from these red necked knobs
