"The project answers the needs of the city and its residents, media, city-based information websites and tourists for researched histories of our major cities," says Omar Badsha, CEO of SA History Online. "What is particularly exciting is that this resource will continue to grow as we have invited South Africans to contribute their stories as well, making it truly a people's history project."
"It will provide an easy-to-access archive of each city's history that will serve the media, tourism and heritage industry, the academic community and the public for years to come. It will excite in children a sense of history that they can relate to," concludes Badsha.
