"The present book continues the series on South Africa’s ‘invisible’ earliest people with the Hessequa, who pastured their cattle along the south-east Cape coast – all the way from the present town of Swellendam to Albertinia, and even beyond – long before the European colonists arrived. They may be better described as a “Khoekhoe community”, rather than what the early history books pejoratively called “Hottentots”. In the current dynamic debate in South Africa about the rights of cultural and linguistic minorities, however, the voices of their descendants are not being heard, nor are they appropriately acknowledged by the powers that be. By writing about them and taking up their cause, Mike de Jongh opens a window on their history, their current lives, and their rightful place in the present-day Republic of South Africa."--Publisher description.

"This book provides a fascinating insight into the lives of the first Dutch settlers in Table Bay and is packed full of photographs and illustrations. The diaries of Jan van Riebeeck, the first governor of the new Dutch colony at Table Bay in South Africa, document the struggle to survive in a new environment. Whether recounting attacks from wild animals, bartering with the indigenous tribes, or importing slaves to manage their crops, the diaries provide a valuable historical insight into the harsh reality of settling new colonies. Letters and reports also add to the picture, including the success of new skills brought to the community by Malays and the influx of Huguenot refugees in 1685 and finally the misfortunes that eventually brought Dutch rule to an end. In 1652, the first Dutch settlers arrived on the shores of Table Bay, having survived the hazardous journey from the Netherlands. The site, which later became known as Cape Town, had a climate in which European crops could flourish. It was here that Jan van Riebeeck was instructed by the Dutch East Indies Company to found a new community. His diaries and other contemporary records have preserved the details for posterity."--Page [4] of cover.

The Cape, 1652: Europe and Africa collide. As the Dutch and, later, the British seep into southern Africas arid west, they form an uneasy alliance with the indigenous San, Khoi and Griqua people. In the first unions between settlers and indigenous peoples, the Coloured people of the Cape flicker to life. But events thousands of miles away are soon to upset this tenuous balance of power. Slavery and its moral and religious hegemony quickly demonises interracial unions; in the spat between the Dutch and British over the Capes huge strategic value, the Khoi, San, Griqua and nascent Coloured populations are trampled underfoot. With literal and ideological muzzle-loaders blazing, the British and Afrikaners rampage through two wars that culminate in another type of union in 1910 -- the Union of South Africa -- which sees the Coloured people losing what little parliamentary representation they had under the British. This is the extraordinary story of a small but proud groups 84-year battle to regain the franchise, told through the eyes of an uncompromising insider. From the Stone meetings, conducted from a boulder on a windswept District Six hillside, to a petition carried, torch-like, to faraway London in 1909, it maps a trajectory of loss -- and of restoration. Its rich cast -- among others, the Glasgow-educated Dr Abdullah Abdurahman, his fiery daughter Cissie Gool, the Ghanaian FZS Peregrino, Jimmy and Alex la Guma and Labour Party stalwart Allan Hendrickse -- plays a leading role in pulling the Coloured people through the post-colonial morass that is South Africa up to 1994 and beyond and proudly placing them, fully represented, in the Cabinet of Nelson Mandela -- one of the most iconic leaders the world has ever known.

The Cape Herders explodes a variety of South African myths - not least those surrounding the negative stereotype of the 'Hottentot', and those which contribute to the idea that the Khoikhoi are by now 'a vanished people'.

History is a powerful aid to the understanding of the present, and those who are concerned with the escalating crisis in South Africa will find this an invaluable source book. This is the story of the evolution of a society in which race became the dominant characteristic, the primary determinant of status, wealth, and power. Cultural chauvinism of the first European colonists – primarily the Dutch – merged with economic and demographic developments to create a society in which whites relegated all blacks – free blacks, Africans, imported slaves – to a systematic pattern of subordination and oppression that foreshadowed the apartheid of the twentieth century. From the beginning of the nineteenth century the new empire-builders, the British, reinforced the racial order. In the next century and a half the industrialized South Africa would become firmly integrated into the world economy. Published originally in South Africa in 1979 and updated and expanded now, a decade later, this book by twelve South African, British, Canadian, Dutch, and American scholars is the most comprehensive history of the early years of that troubled nation. The authors put South Africa in the comparative context of other colonial systems. Their social, political, and economic history is rich with empirical data and rests on a solid base of archival research. The story they tell is a complex drama of a racial structure that has resisted hostile impulses from without and rebellion from within.

In this biography of the Khoikhoi Jan Paerl (1761-1851) light is being shed on a new form of resistance against colonial domination in Cape society. It emphasizes Khoikhoi colonial encounters and incorporates themes such as millenarian beliefs, identities, master-servant relations, indentured labour and the appropriation of mission Christianity.

This work on the pioneering history of the Boers in the Cape Colony (South Africa) before the Great Trek (1835-1846) is primarily based on research in various archives and libraries. However, the author PJ van der Merwe (1912-1979) found it desirable to personally visit different areas mentioned in the book to get to know the country and the people better and to gather oral tradition and personal information. In carrying out this fieldwork during 1938 and 1939, the author covered 15,000 miles by car and questioned hundreds of people (old pioneers, farmers, teachers, magistrates, school inspectors, livestock inspectors, surveyors and police agents). This investigation not only enabled him to better interpret the sometimes fragmentary data found in the archives and old travel descriptions, but also served to supplement it.

Mayhem and Matrimony It’s the special day Emma and Joe have been waiting for. It’s a day that Darcy’s been stressing out over for months. She’s no wedding planner but that hasn’t stopped her from doing all she can to make this day perfect. Despite their mother’s frustration that the new caterer has decided to open shop a few blocks away from their mother’s café. Despite the fact that their parents are divorced and their father has moved on and now has a baby with a much younger women. Despite the fact that someone tried to strangle Darcy at the reception and even more importantly that the new caterer—who’s not exactly ugly—had saved her from the assault. Why can’t there be a simple wedding without chaos and mayhem in Cape Hope? Message on the Tide Who’d think an innocent early morning walk on the beach would yield a sealed bottle with a mysterious set of letters from decades ago? Certainly not Darcy Harmon, but that’s exactly what she’s come across. And leave it to her sister Emma, the family’s resident amateur sleuth to try to take the mystery away from Darcy. Well, Darcy’s having none of it. It’s her mystery to solve and she’s not sharing it. At least, not until someone tries to take her life. Twice. Now, she’s suddenly open to having some help to find answers to the questions spawned by the mysterious messages in the letters that washed in on the tide. View to a Crime Darcy’s got an interview with a local paper. Cool, right? Well, maybe not. Why’s she got reservations about doing the interview when anyone she tells about it encourages her to jump at the chance. So, Darcy jumped. Only she finds her remote interview over Zoom comes to an untimely end when her interviewer is attacked. Luckily, Darcy manages to extricate herself from the situation unscathed because the attacker doesn’t know who the witness to the crime was. Until he does. Now Darcy’s in a race to find out who the perpetrator is before he can find her.
