About Johan van Riebeeck

https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_van_Riebeeck

Johan buys and sells slaves

Inbetween 1659 and 1662 Johan buys slaves, for instance a girl named Jackie Joy, aged 12 at the time. He sells her 3 years later again. He also bought a boy named Jan Meeuw, aged 13. He bought slaves before, because in 1661 and 1662 he sells around 6 to 9 slaves. Most of them are from Angola, but he also got some slaves from Bengal and Batavia as well. Sad, but true story.
