      Solution

      We use ‘much’ with singular uncountable nouns and ‘many’ with plural nouns. So, ‘so many places’ is correct. It may confidently be dated to a period not earlier than the 14th or 15th century A.D., and attributed to the same Bantu people the remains of whose stone-fenced kraals are found at so many places between the Limpopo and the Zambezi.
