, SOURCE B: THE DUTCH SETTLEMENT AT THE CAPE
The Dutch settlement at the Cape began in 1652. The settlement grew into a Dutch
colony. Enslaved people were brought to the Cape to do hard work. They built
buildings, worked on farms and were servants in the homes of settlers. As the colony
expanded, the grazing lands of the indigenous Khoikhoi people were taken over for
settler farms. In the 18th century, trekboers moved further inland to find grazing for
their livestock. Trekboers drove the San away from their hunting grounds and captured
San women and children as servants.
