https://www.sahistory.org.za/article/first-slaves-cape Elsje Beck (van As) was the grandaughter of Angela van Bengale, one of the most famous and prominent early slaves at the Cape. Angela and her three children were taken by slave raiders in the Ganges area of Bengal. The VOC Commander of the ship Amersfoort, Pieter Kemp, brought Angela and her three children (Johannes (Jan) van As, Jacobus van As, and Anna van As) to the Cape via Batavia (modern-day Jakarta, Indonesia), as his personal servants. They arrived 24 Feb 1657. Angela died in 1720, at over seventy years of age, an ex-slave who had become a wealthy and respected member of Cape society.
