QUESTION 1 HOW DID THE DUTCH SETTLEMENT AT THE CAPE OF GOOD
HOPE LEAD TO SLAVERY FROM 1652?
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.

This extract focuses on the treatment and lives of the slave at the Cape during Dutch
colonization.
Slaves were the forced labor, which not only transformed a small refreshment station into a
significant agricultural colony-but also in many ways, transformed agriculture into the Western
Cape. They were a class who could not enter any legal contract or property. In civil law they
simply did not exist-but criminal lawwas.a Savage (brutal) reality.

‘These ignorant people, ‘wrote a ntled(unhappy) owner, still believed that they will be
able to reach some country will be relieved of their bondage’, and he ended with
the prediction that ‘they may expéct nothing else than to be destroyed in a most miserable
manner by hunger, the beasts of prey or brutal natives.
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. It was only when
Khoikhoi hostages were taken and kept at the Fort against their will that the Khoikhoi showed
any interest in co=operating.
