depletion of their herds of cattle. Slaves were imported, some from East Africa and
Mozambique, others Malays from the Dutch colonies in the Far East. They were said to have been
well-treated because of their scarcity, but it was not until the end of the 18th century that various
punishments of medieval cruelty were abolished – breaking on the wheel and slow strangulation
among them. By this time there were more slaves than whites in the colony.
The British Presence
The British entered the picture in 1795, a year after the Dutch East India Company went bankrupt, and
at a time when the British were at war with France, from whom the Dutch settlement was “protected”.
At the end of hostilities twenty years later the Cape became British permanently. During the 1820s in
a series of great battles, the mfecane,the Zulu nation was established in the east of what is now South
Africa. Then, in the 1830s, the British abolished slavery, which was the last straw for the Dutch
farmers, or Boers as they now called themselves. Under leaders including Piet Retief and Piet Uys,
they migrated in what became known as the Great Trek. Between 1836 and 1846 some 14,000 people
left Cape Colony with their herds of cattle and goats, their furniture loaded into great wagons. They
crossed the Orange and Vaal rivers, pushing into the interior and down into Natal to find land. In
doing so they encountered more black Africans. Hendrick Potgieter fought the Ndebele in the north
and Piet Retief and Andries Pretorius fought the Zulu in the east. Numerous little republics were
founded as the Voortrekkerssquabbled amongst themselves, broke up and moved on. They were by no
means a united or harmonious group, coming together to resist external threats before dividing once
more in ill-temper and pride.
Meanwhile the British colonised the coast, founding Port Elizabeth and expanding Port Natal to
become Durban. The Sand River Convention of 1852 recognised the republic of Transvaal and the
Bloemfontein Convention of 1854 did the same for the republic of Orange Free State. Both the British
and the Boers lived in a state of intermittent warfare with the Africans around them. A new danger
arose in 1867 when a diamond was found on the banks of the Orange River at Hopetown. The
subsequent rush of prospectors can be analysed by examining the gravestones in the burial ground
there. Two years later the much greater riches of Kimberley were discovered and the Keate Award of
1871 declared the land to be part of Cape Colony – a very dubious finding that later led to the
payment of £90,000 to the Orange Free State in compensation. By this time there were 15,000 whites
in the area and in the next twenty-five years the black African population grew to half a million, of
whom a quarter were labourers, employed by the mine owners in competition with Boer farmers who
were hard pressed to afford even the miserable wages paid in the diamond diggings.
Boer Independence
The inability of the Boer Republics to dominate their black African neighbours led the British to
enforce a confederation and take up the fight against their former allies, the Zulu. The Zulu, after
inflicting heavy and humiliating defeats on the
