A History of Slavery at the Cape
Episode 2: Enslaved people at work
Beginning in the middle of the 17th century, European colonists established a brutal slave society at the south-western tip of Africa that lasted for more than 150 years.
The legacy of this period has affected the development of South Africa ever since and it can still be felt today.
A History of Slavery at the Cape is a podcast that describes this period in South Africa’s past. In this episode, we discover what work enslaved people did in the Cape Colony.
The podcast was created by a group of Grade 6 and 7 students at Cedar House Prep School in Cape Town, South Africa.
