&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Les Pedi se trouvent autour de Polokwane, au nord du
pays. Ils seraient des descendants des Maroteng qui, au XVIe si&#xe8;cle,
vivaient pr&#xe8;s des source du Vaal - affluent du fleuve Orange.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#336600&quot;&gt;The Pedi are located around Polokwane, north of the country. According to oral tradition, the Pedi can be traced back to the Maroteng. It is believed that centuries ago, around 1500, the Maroteng were living near the source of the Vaal.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Wed, 04 Nov 2009 05:11:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Semaine 44 / Week 44</title><dc:creator>giocka</dc:creator><link>http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/archives/2009/11/02/15652216.html</link><category>1 croquis par semaine / 1 sketch a week</category><category>Afrique du Sud</category><category>croquis</category><category>sketch</category><category>South Africa</category><comments>http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/archives/2009/11/02/15652216.html#comments</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/feeds/rss/comments/post/15652216/</wfw:commentRss><guid isPermaLink="true">http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/archives/2009/11/02/15652216.html</guid><description>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/17/21/401767/45864353.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;450&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;323&quot; src=&quot;http://storage.canalblog.com/17/21/401767/45864353_p.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;S44&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Mon, 02 Nov 2009 09:52:53 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Cullinan</title><dc:creator>giocka</dc:creator><link>http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/archives/2009/10/30/15597572.html</link><category>Balades en Afrique du Sud / Touring South Africa</category><category>Afrique du Sud</category><category>South Africa</category><category>visit</category><comments>http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/archives/2009/10/30/15597572.html#comments</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/feeds/rss/comments/post/15597572/</wfw:commentRss><guid isPermaLink="true">http://cardsandstuff.canalblog.com/archives/2009/10/30/15597572.html</guid><description>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Cullinan, c&apos;est une petite ville mini&#xe8;re &#xe0; c&#xf4;t&#xe9; de chez
nous (30 mn de la maison). Ville mini&#xe8;re, pas folichon, me direz-vous.
Certes, on pense coron, grisaille, charbon, etc...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#336600&quot;&gt;Cullinan is a little mining town quite close from our house (30mn drive). Mining town, that doesn&apos;t sound very exciting, will you think...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Eh bien effacez
tout &#xe7;a et remplacez par diamant; d&#xe9;j&#xe0;, &#xe7;a sonne plus glamour, non? Eh oui,
la mine de Culinan exploite les diamants. &lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;C&apos;est remplacer un st&#xe9;r&#xe9;otype par un autre, car &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;les mineurs &#xe9;taient probablement aussi sales et fatigu&#xe9;s que ceux qui creusaient pour chercher du charbon ou n&apos;importe quel autre minerai...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#336600&quot;&gt;Well forget all your pictures of coal mining, and replace it with diamond. It sounds instantly much better, doesn&apos;t it? Mind you, it&apos;s replacing one stereotype by another, because, eventhough they were digging for diamonds, the town doesn&apos;t sparkle, and the miners were probably as dirty and as tired as the coal miners...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

combien de tonne de diamants ils ont extrait, nous n&apos;avons pas visit&#xe9;
la mine elle m&#xea;me, juste la petite ville et surtout le quartier
historique avec les anciennes maisons des cadres. Je sais juste que en 1905 on
y a trouv&#xe9; le plus gros diamant brut au monde (plus de 600g!!). Il a
&#xe9;t&#xe9; offert au gouvernement britannique et orne maintenant le sceptre
imp&#xe9;rial. (enfin, &#xe7;a c&apos;est pour r&#xe9;sumer, car le diamant a &#xe9;t&#xe9; fractionn&#xe9; en plusieurs).

It was offered to the British King (Edward VII) and was mounted in the head of the sceptre. (Well actually, that&apos;s to cut a long story short, because the diamond was so big it was cut into several diamonds). More information &lt;a href=&quot;http://brysonburke.com/20_cullian.html&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;here&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;C&apos;&#xe9;tait la belle saison pour aller visiter ce petit village, car il &#xe9;tait noy&#xe9; sous les jacarandas &lt;font color=&quot;#336600&quot;&gt;/ It was the perfect time to wander in this village, because it was covered with Jacarandas:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
