  2. 😂😂😂😂short narrative way 😂😂why ..give full video of narration we all know about Piet Retief 😂😂you pick from here and there some clips, you know exactly the full details 😅😅

  3. Brilliant Video professionally presented thanking you! I am a mechanical engineer but was high schooled in a technical college thus only had history until grade seven, in my day standard five, but studied history especially military history on my own from the age of six years old and that is why I can see and hear the hard work this presenter put in to go give us the finite detail of these events-thanking you AGAIN!

  4. in his narration there are only BLACK and WHITE , He does nt me3ntion anything abt the COLOURED PEOPLE , who were fundamental in building the CAPE and TRANSVAAL . COMPLETELY BIASED . He does nt mention the INDONESIAN, INDIAN, CEY;ONESE, MADAGASCAR slaves and royal exiles . THIS IS HIS RACIST WHITE AND BLACK interpretation of SOUTH AFRICAN history.

  5. Many KhoeKhoe are in Pollsmoor prison or on the streets of the Cape Flats. Once they realise they are Kings and owners of this majestic land, things will change drastically in the Cape. How will they be compensated? Decadents of the colonisers whom stole land are thriving, does this seem right to you?

  6. Hang on a moment.
    The VOC under Jan van Riebeeck acquired slaves from other regions, primarily Guinea (Benin) and Angola (captured a Portuguese cargo on the way to the Cape Colony) ca. 1658. The VOC wished to keep peace with the indiginous people they encountered, in order to facilitate the replesnishment station. Under Jan van Riebeeck, if a "slave" proved their loyalty to the VOC their term of service to the VOC would be manumitted. That is, they could operate as any other colonist would on the lands given to them by the VOC, they too could acquire labour from the VOC or from other masters in the Colony. So, the British were not the first to bring about an end slavery. It should also be stated that the Fon of Guinea had taken for themselves as slaves the peoples of the D'Ahomey plateau ca. 1600. It should also be stated that the reputation of the "Slave Coast" was earned in the 1700's as demand for labour to the South America's increased substantially.
    The first 100 years of the Cape Colony until the first sensus by Ryck Tulbagh ca 1753, saw few European women settle in the Cape. When the decision was made to make the Cape Colony a permanent settlement, only then were Women from Europe encouraged to come to the Cape. The sensus claimed, some 550 colonists (European descent) and some 4400 labourers (descendents of the slave population).
    What proportion of the Boer (Bühr) / Afrikaner are products of the first 100 years, (inbred or racially mixed)? How many manumitted labourers benefitted from a new lease on life in the Cape Colony?
    Napoleon favoured the wines produced from De Hoop Constantia. The family lost the farms when the British arrived, afaik.
