About Vldknt. Gerrit Visser

The animosity which existed towards the Bushmen on account of their murders and depredations has given way to better feelings towards the colonial races; a good understanding seems to have existed since the peace made with the Bushmen by that excellent man, the Field-cornet Gerrit Visser, in 1798.

Commandos have, since that date, rarely been necessary, and we may consider that treaty and its provisions, as extended in our Placaat- books, as the foundation of the course of forbearance and humanity now exercised towards that unfortunate race.
