    A journal article from JSTOR. This article shows that Ethiopia remains a blind spot despite remarkable involvement in the global slave trade and slavery's structuring impact on social relations in the country the historical patterns of slavery and their contemporary consequences remain largely unaddressed in Ethiopian studies. Ethiopian sources replete with references to slavery need to be read a new in order to produce alternative narratives and perspectives on the practises of slavery and slave trading and on their historical significance.

(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.
