  • There are two issues here. One, the Griqua were gradually rejected by the British and other whites. They (and other Coloureds) had always been in an ambivalent position. Many whites had long regarded the Griqua as dark-skinned Afrikaners, culturally indistinguishable from the Trekboers

      The reason behind them being not allowed in the white community is that if you are born from any parent whos black, you totally black. Doesn't matter if any of the parent is white.

      Comment: so British people allowed Griqua people in their community but no as their race, however to use them. Because in the article says they used them to sell and transport their guns because of white people they were not allowed to do so.

      The reason they start to rebel was because they were making most of the work within the community of the cape but still they the ones who were exploited.

      NB: This sticky notes are for the first page of this article, the reason i put them hear is that Diigo don't load the first three pages.. however I'll also upload web article in order to get access to the first three pages.. but the original article i wish to upload is this one, the pfd one. (a) Important event: Jan van Riebeek was the first white man to land in South Africa in Table Bay 1652 to explore new places and his destination was the Cape, today known as Cape Town, his exploration was under the command of Dutch East India Company. (b) Cape was made for Legal settlers in 1657 and during the period, the Dutch speaking people have already started their permanent settlement and implemented their home governance. ●Vexatious regulations- vexatious means a tendance to cause annoyance. Therefore, even the Cape was made for settlers freely in 1657 but the were rules or regulation made for new immigrates to the Cape and they didn't like the regulations. (c) Batavian Republic was the successor state to the republic of the seven united Netherlands. (d) Admiral Elphistone joined hands with British to take power from Holland, who was the ruler of the Cape during the era. However, the Dutch were defeated at Muizenberg. ●Muizenberg is a beach side town in the Western Cape in South Africa. ●However British didn't rule for a long period, by 1802 Cape colony was restored to Holland. (e) Comment: This means the Dutch people could have ruled the Cape colony for a very long time, but they couldn't, because the British people had more supporters of different countries to take the Cape colony from Holland also their army was advanced. France passed every law for Cape colony to belong to British. (f) The end of Dutch rule in the Cape also resulted in conflict in the South African people, because of the Dutch didn't have great relationship within their colony they moved to the interior where they came to contact with black people and fought for land. Which ended up

    The British people had full control of the Cape in 1706 when they took control or power from Holland who ruled the Cape before the British. Ever since the first settlers of the Cape were the Dutch, when British took over, Dutch people moved to the interior west and east both places became known as the Griqualand. The reason for Griqua people to move from the Cape is because they wanted their own land and the British mistreated them. However even after the Griqua people moved to Griqualand, the British still attacked them when diamonds were discovered in Griqualand, this resulted in lot of conflict, the war was between the British, Griqua people, Khoi khoi people and the Xhosa people.
