History Of South Africa Slavery

I am a selfish person.

1833 The British Parliament passes an emancipation decree, the Abolition Act, which abolishes the system of slavery, but which writes a kind of indentured labour system, called “apprenticeship”, into the legislation. This is to ensure that the slave-based economies of the British Empire do not collapse as a result of the end of slavery

And then This is real?

The Governor, Sir George Napier, supports Moshoeshoe's claim to his territory, by concluding a treaty with the Basotho king in which the Basotho territory is determined as all the land between the Orange and Caledon Rivers. Moshoeshoe is granted a salary of £75 to maintain order in his newly defined territory

1843 Cape Governor Napier signs an agreement with the Griqua leader Adam Kok III to maintain order in his territory in return for an annual salary of £100. Unlike the treaty with Moshoeshoe, Kok's treaty does not define the limits of his territory
