Overview

Excerpt from The British and Dutch in South Africa: A Paper Read Before the Trinity Club of Trinity Church, and the Dorchester Historical Society, and the Victorian Club of Boston In April, 1652, Jan Van Riebeek and a party of about 150 were landed at Table Bay, and in this manner South Africa became settled by the Dutch. In 1658 the great mistake of introducing negro slaves was made - a mistake from which the country has suffered much, and is the first and principal cause of the present trouble. There was no necessity for the introduction of slavery, for the climate for nine months in the year is to Europeans the pleasantest in the world, and white men can work in the open air without discomfort.
