The Start Of Aparthied?

I am a selfish person.

Is this the strat of segragation. The reason I strated researching into the SA history?

1846 Chief Justice Cloete and Sir Theophilus Shepstone set up the Locations Commission to investigate the feasibility of segregating black and white in Natal. Seven locations are initially established, financed in the main by a hut tax imposed on Africans. Shepstone introduces the system whereby the hereditary chiefs are responsible for the immediate running of the locations. The system comes under attack from white settlers who fear that self-sufficient locations would rob them of cheap black labour

And:

1848 Cape Governor Sir Harry Smith instructs the British Resident of the newly constituted Orange River Sovereignty, Major Henry Warden, to set up boundaries between the black and white communities in the land north of the Caledon River based on their occupation of that region. He is further instructed not to cede land to the black communities where there may be overlapping of occupation between Black and White. The boundaries come to be known as the “Warden Line” and is promulgated in 1849. Moshoeshoe, the King of the Basotho loses large areas of his territory

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

History Of South Africa 1800 AD

I am a selfish person.

I have been reading a lot about press freedom in various countries and various theaters of war. Now is this the first time in history where press freedom was taken out by the government any where in the world?

1800 Cape Colony: An official newspaper press is established. A Government Gazette is issued. The establishment of an official press forbids freedom of the press, with a heavy fine threatening anyone who attempts to publish. In July 1800 the Cape government orders the publication of a weekly newspaper called the Cape Town Gazette and African Advertiser.

Now I have a problem; was it GB who was in charge or the Dutch, as the next item came to my vision?

1814 With the official cession of the Cape from the Batavian Government to Britain, Charles, Lord Somerset is made Governor of the Cape

Aha the press got its freedom in SA. One wonders!

1828 Freedom of the press is recognised by the Cape government

History Of South Africa

I am a selfish person.

I was reading this article about Israel and the Zionists, my favourite subject. The authour keeps on comparing Zionismin Israel to Aprtheid in South africa. So I wanted to have a refresher course in the History of SA. Found this:

1615 Sir Thomas Roe attempts to land some deported British criminals at the Cape, but those who are not drowned or killed by Khoi-Khoi are soon removed from the Cape and the scheme is abandoned. (SESA, v. 2, p. 507)

From http://www.sahistory.org.za/pages/chronology/general/1600.htm

I know Australia had its own influx of the said criminal from GB those good old days. But where else I wonder. And how many descendants of those criminals live in other parts of the world than Australia. All the bloody Aussies are from criminals except the Abos init?
