From the moment Jan van Riebeeck set foot on the Cape of Good Hope in 1652, the southern tip of Africa and the Netherlands have been inextricably linked. In this seven-part NTR series, we follow the trail of the Dutch who moved inland and - for good and bad - left their legacy behind. From the Cape inland to Stellenbosch, Graaff-Reinet and Blood River to Johannesburg and Pretoria we see beautiful vineyards, unique nature, but also the townships and slave quarters on the farms. The battlefields of the Boerenlog and the diamond mines and the beautiful emptiness of the Karoo. A historical journey through the unique monuments of a shared history.
