Professor Michael de Jongh is Professor Emeritus within the Department of Anthropology and Archaeology at the University of South Africa (Unisa). He is listed in the Cambridge University Blue Book of Foremost International Scientists.

Professor de Jongh’s most recent book is Roots and Routes: Karretjie People of the Great Karoo (Unisa Press).

​Professor Michael de Jongh is a prominent anthropologist, who has researched the ‘forgotten’ first people of South Africa extensively. In a previous book, ‘Roots and Routes: The Karretjie People of the Great Karoo’ (published by the Unisa Press and also available in Afrikaans, as ‘Karretjiemense van die Groot Karoo: Vergete Afstammelinge van die Vroegste Suid-Afrikaners’), Prof. de Jongh described the descendants, now itinerant sheep-shearers, of the early /Xam-Bushmen, who roamed the Karoo before the coming of the first Europeans and other communities. This publication was listed for the Alan Paton Prize for Non-Fiction and won the Hiddingh-Currie award for academic excellence and contribution to society
