South Africa - Another kick in the teeth from British about Boer War

⁣More than a century after 48 000 people died in concentration camps in what’s known as the South African War between 1899 and 1902 – or the Anglo-Boer War – the events of that period are back in the headlines The camps were established by the British as part of their military campaign against two small Afrikaner republics: the ZAR (Transvaal) and the Orange Free State The scandalous campaign is back in the news following controversial comments by British Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg on a BBC television program Rees-Mogg’s statements have caused consternation because they were riddled with inaccuracies It’s time to set the record straight and to refute his inaccuracies one by one I do this based on the historical research I’ve done on the South African War for the last 49 year
