“In 1652, Jan van Riebeeck set up a refreshment station for ships bound to the Dutch East Indies in what is now Cape Town and requested slaves.[1] The first slave, Abraham van Batavia arrived in 1653 ("van Batavia" meaning "from Batavia", the name of Jakarta during the Dutch colonial period), and shortly afterward, a slaving voyage was undertaken from the Cape to Mauritius and Madagascar.[1] Eventually, van Riebeeck forcibly enslaved Africans for work in the Cape Colony.[2]”
The Dutch were mean. Anyways white guy brings first slave. Which probably introduces the idea of racial superiority
It was all peace and love in SA before the meanyhead Dutch arrived. Just a bunch of natives, united by the color of their skin, that spent their time picking flowers to give to their friends. They had spears, but only used them for hunting food because they were just regular looking spears, not scary looking “assault spears.”
