British arrival on the Cape changed many peoples lives of whom were already there. Initially, British control was aimed to protect the trade routes from the East, but as time went on, the British realized the positives of developing the colony for their own uses.
With the colonialism, started in 1654, came the Slavery and Forced Labor Model. It was originally a model brought by the Dutch when they colonized South Africa. Many African Kingdoms actually traded their own people as slaves for European technology, namely firearms, and as such made South Africa a big import-export slavery place.
Of course, seizure of the land was kinda at a constant trade-off between the British Crown and the Dutch. The Cape Colony was under rule of the Dutch until 1795, when it fell under British Rule. Then, it was given back to Dutch Ruling in 1803, before reverting back to British occupation in 1806.
This is just some basic information regarding the colonial occupation of South Africa, and if there is any more information needed, it will be given. If I have made any mistakes in this short informational chapter, please comment them along WITH YOUR CORRECT SOURCES, and I will make corrections immediately.
Thanks,
