Slavery played a significantly important role in the history of the Cape as many of its inhabitants today have ancestry dating back to when slaves were first brought here. This makes the Cape a particularly interesting place to have come from, but we are looking at the very origins of slavery and how it has impacted the people of the Cape in today’s society.
