SOURCE 1A The following extract explains the presence of me Dutch at the Cape and the need for slaves. The Dutch, under Commander Jan van Riebeeck, were overwhelmed by the difficulties they faced in Table Bay. Survival and the e ablishment of a successful refreshment station proved much more difficult than they had ed. Everything pointed to the same disastrous failures befalling(happening) the Dutch ¢ case of settlements by others in East Africa and Madagascar. “&§ The key factor was the lack of mass labor force to clear bush, plough the land and gather the stone and timber for building. The indigenous population was in resistance mode and refused to offer assistance. The only way forward for the settlers was to import slaves to do this back- breaking work and later to provide the craftsmanship, finishes and comforts. The first slave that came to the Cape was Abraham van Batavia in 1653. A tickle of slaves followed until 1658 when a few hundred slaves from Angola and the coast of Guinea arrived in the Cape.

Indeed, many of the runaways did come to a miserable end. But few returned voluntarily to the misery of enslavement. Soldiers and burghers were sent in pursuit and Khoikhoi were offered tobacco or brandy to track down runaways, though without much success.
