Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Under the apartheid regime, and the British before them, up until today, with the inclusion of the current government, the widely accepted curricula taught by all, are aligned to the fact that the colonisation of the Cape by the Dutch in sixteen-fifty-two, is the supposed beginning of the port. This account debunks that theory and corrects the largely as yet untold facts. Long before Holland's involvement, for more than half-a-century, well over a thousand ships with their scurvy-ridden crews entered the proto-port and were nursed back to health, and were victualled with fresh supplies by the indigenous Khoikhoi tribe. Although they have almost been lost to history, this story focuses on the life of the indigene 'Harry' and his niece 'Kratoa' as the Dutch called them - both famous figures known by all of the Cape's international maritime trade in the mid seventeenth century. Prior to the annexation by the Dutch, Kratoa's rich tapestry of events while living solely in harmony with nature, is a fascinating and historically accurate tale and sets the record straight about how the indigenous people in the region actually lived. The story is based on researched facts and is historically accurate. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The repetition of many of the names is because these people factually all existed and the narrative about them is historically accurate. Of interest, is that the colonisation of the small peninsula at the tip of Africa took place almost two centuries before the European scramble for colonial rule across the rest of the continent. At twenty, Maria van Riebeeck marries a rehabilitated criminal, the infamous Jan van Riebeeck, to become the wife of the first commander of the European settlement of future Cape Town in sixteen-fifty-two from an edict by The Dutch East India Company -Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie - VOC. After annexing the land and building a fort, with assistance from the indigenes, the population grows from the incoming steady trickle of both Europeans and slaves alike. After the van Riebeecks leave, major transformations under Governor Simon van der Stel take place to properly establish a colony. After his death, The Groot Constantia wine estate, which was the jewel of the Cape at the time, changes hands and is factually owned by an emancipated slave captured as a child in Bengal - Anna de Koningh.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Boasting the world's first stock-exchange in the mid-seventeenth century, Holland wielded massive power with its historic hegemony from its booming slave- and spice-trades in the eastern hemisphere. Its navy dwarfed those of all other nations globally, and consequently held unmatched influence in the Cape, Asia and Europe. The Dutch East India Company -Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie - VOC's - maritime supremacy stretched from Persia to Japan and included Sri Lanka, Taiwan and through the Malacca straits where it also held sway in Indonesia in modern day Jakarta as the VOC's eastern interests were headquartered there. This book intertwines our main protagonist Maria by espousing her nail-biting experiences within this period, which have been thoroughly researched and are historically accurate. It concludes with her arrival in the virgin 'Cape of Good Hope' to set up a waystation for the VOC on the southernmost tip of the African continent - occupied by its indigenes.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Famous for building the Taj Mahal, the Shah Jahan who ruled India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh, our protagonist Angela's early life was borne while living under the scourge of his vaunted military might. She is raised under the caste system as a Dalit - untouchable - who were treated as slave-labour with constant flogging and starvation being the generational systemic norm. Bearing two children from being raped while still a teen, and pregnant with her third child, she is captured by Dutch slave-raiders in the Mathabahanga Delta in Bengal and sent to the slave-market in Batavia - modern day Jakarta. As one of its first handful of slaves, after serving as a house-slave for two years in the east, Angela is shipped to the 'Cape of Good Hope' which was still in its infancy in sixteen-fifty-seven. Angela is one of the Cape's most famous slaves who lived well into her seventies and became extremely wealthy and married a famous white man with whom she bore many children. Her offspring are the progenitors of many modern day South African Afrikaner families including the common name of the Bassons. Her life story has been thoroughly researched and is based on the accurate facts of the time. This item is printed on demand.
