Sierra Leone and South Africa

While in the history of Sierra Leone connections have been established with such places as Great Britain, America, the West Indies, Nigeria, the Gambia, Ghana and other parts of Africa, relatively little or no attention has been paid to connections with South Africa. And yet it may just be that the South African impact in shaping developments in Sierra Leone in the last century was greater than anyone might suspect. The activities of two individuals, Nathaniel Isaacs and Sir Frederic Cardew, will be briefly examined to illustrate the point. Christopher Fyfe gives this brief introduction to Isaacs in his History.
