Poor South Africans demonstrate against dispossession of their homes
TUESDAY 6th April, marked the 369th anniversary of the arrival of Dutch settlers in South Africa. The first settlers aimed at establishing trading posts and forts for the Dutch East India Company at the Cape. It marked the first annexation of South Africa.
In the 15th century, other armies of slavers, conquerors and thieves came from Portugal but the first so-called Foreign Direct Investment on South African soil was Jan van Riebeeck’s brutal criminals.
After serving the company, the free burghers, as they were called, began the second wave of annexation, inland. Notably, this led to the establishment of Stellenbosch led by Simon van der Stel. But even more outrageous invasions were yet to come.

Chief Albert Luthuli inhabited multiple worlds, as a Christian, an elected chief whose chiefdom comprised mainly people who did not accept the Christian message, and he led the ANC, an organisation comprising Africans. But Luthuli reached out to all communities and his following included many whites. That even whites admired him could well have been a motive for foul play leading to his ‘mysterious’ death.
