The colonisation of South Africa
The colonisation of South Africa
Jan van Riebeeck, an employee of the Dutch East India Company, first landed in South Africa in 1652 to establish a ‘refreshment stop.’
The arrival led to centuries of settler colonialism and apartheid. #SouthAfrica

It’s the same with colonialism of America the now former ‘new world’. America’s apartheid has been blatantly ignored. For decades.
Look how much better off the country was with apartheid. Clean, orderly, less crime, prosperous.
Never trust white people
Good one! Now make a quick review of Asian colonialism and the mess it created in the Balkans.
This is true history
I wish more south africans watch this video so they can learn that people who claim to be indigenous to this country are actually from east Africa
To be honest. It’s South Africans (blacks) fault for apartheid.

U South Africans deserve moral leadership that has been bestowed by freedom sprite emanated by MADIBA the great and faithful leaders following him.
Various Bantu groups engaged with the Khoisan in diverse ways, ranging from occasional skirmishes to coexistence and assimilation. In instances where conflict was avoided, Bantu tribes often integrated Khoisan individuals into their own communities, leading to the emergence of distinct tribes and kingdoms such as the Tswana, Sotho, Karanga, and Xhosa. These communities reflect a cultural, linguistic, and ethnic amalgamation of both Bantu and Khoisan influences. Notably, Bantu groups adopted linguistic elements, including clicks, from the Khoisan.
Examples such as the Kingdom of Mapungubwe, led by Khoisan figures, and archaeological sites like the Kweneng Ruins highlight instances of cohabitation between these two groups. The Khoisan, with an intimate knowledge of the land, were often nomadic, yet their population remained limited due to reliance on hunting and gathering, coupled with a dependence on natural conditions. In contrast, the Bantu, with more organized societies, engaged in agriculture and livestock farming, strategically migrating to regions suitable for cultivating indigenous crops, albeit less frequently than the Khoisan.
Contrary to popular belief, it was the Portuguese, not the Dutch, who first encountered the native inhabitants of the Cape. Early Portuguese accounts depict the natives more in line with Bantu characteristics than Khoisan. This does not imply Bantu presence predating the Khoisan but rather suggests that both groups had already populated the entire southern region. When the Dutch eventually arrived, many Bantu communities had already relocated to more fertile lands. The subsequent period of Mfecane, marked by the Zulu's conflicts with other groups, led to further displacement, reshaping the dynamics of the region.
The notion of an "empty land" and the artificial division between Khoisan and Bantu communities were ideas perpetuated by the Apartheid Government to bolster their claims to the land. However, in reality, the rightful ownership of the land belongs to all Africans, whether Bantu, Khoisan, or settlers who wholeheartedly embraced not only the physical expanse but also the native people and their diverse cultures. It is essential to recognize that these divisive narratives were employed to justify discriminatory policies rather than accurately reflecting the rich tapestry of indigenous histories and shared heritage. True ownership extends beyond mere occupation, acknowledging the deep connections forged with the land and its inhabitants, irrespective of ethnic or cultural backgrounds.
The Bantu people colonized the North region. The Dutch were present in the Cape area for 93 years before they encountered the Bantu at the Fish River. It is believed that the Bantu killed over 2 million San and Khoekhoe people and seized their land. Could you please create a video on this historical event?
Yes I recall PM Margaret thatcher calling Mandela a terrorist organisation too!!!! LIES LIES LIES AND STILL THEY CONTINUE TO LIE.
"Land that does not belong to them" is such a silly sentence to me especially when you look at the expanse of history and the migration of people. Should people not leave their boarders? Life's a competition and nothing belongs to anyone, it can be taken and you have to fight for it or take it for yourself. Things ebb and flow, from around 1500-present the west has dominated, before that other regions had a moment in the sun. Other regions success is what drove European's to pursue colonisation for a better life, its' just how history goes fam
