Dana Snyman

Renowned travel writer Dana Snyman traces his own family’s story as he explores the backwoods of South Africa and what it means to be “from here” (hiervandaan). He starts this deeply South African story with the first Snyman, born of a white father and a slave mother. Along the way he visits Julius Malema and Jacob Zuma’s hometowns.
