Project Objective

See South African Slaves as well

Identify and list as many as possible of the slaves of the Cape of Good Hope.

The VOC brought slaves to the Cape of Good Hope from mainly the Indian Ocean Basin, but also elsewhere. Countries included: Abyssinia, Angola, Bangladesh (Bengal?), East Indies(Indonesia), Guinea, India, Japan, Madagascar, Mozambique. They are a special bunch who link us back to so many people and places and they deserve special recognition for being our ancestors.

How to participate

Link the slaves known to be living at the Cape of Good Hope to the project.
