In modern society suffering caused by war is still a reality. South Africa experienced this suffering during the Anglo-Boer War, also referred to as the South African War of 1899-1902. The outcome was bitterness, hatred, dispossession and division for many decades to come. More than a century later South Africans can look back at this event as a shared tragedy that shaped the social, political, economical and historical landscape of South Africa as we know it today.
