This place is part of the strength of history Indonesian struggle. The ties of South Africa and Indonesian are symbolized by Nelson Mandela wearing Indonesian Batik clothes.
I walked from Brackenfell Cape Town to the Castle today (2022/03/05) for 5 hours. It was a refreshing and difficult walk, I'm glad to learn about the history of this castle
Excellent documentary. The guilty ones won't acknowledge this, they will call it fake. Khoisan and Malay people, later reclassified as Coloureds are the true descendants of these slaves. They are the real owners of SA, unlike the ANC and Eff false narrative that "they are" the natives.
@@mapoosesafaree3039 then you are foreigner in south Africa go back where you came from since you're not African...south Africa it's African land wether you like it or not...n
Alex Jele. Go back to Central Africa Congo Delta where you came from. You first arrived in SA in 1770, 100years after Europeans. Europeans can stay because they are more indigenous than you.
The castle was built around 600 years ago and still stands .It is a popular tourist destination. Sadly slavery and and forced labour where commonplace in those times.
Well, I haven't watched the documentary yet, I went straight to the comments section and one can clearly tell that there's mix feelings about this doc. Some people see Mr Riebeeck as their hero and most feel he was a zero...All I know is f@#k 1652!..On that note let me watch the documentary.
Sorry guys but I found it very informative. this is the way the world worked during the 17th century, slavery was a comman practice, not justifying it. this is a part of our history, no matter what your ethnic group is, so stop accusing and blaming one another for stuff that happend 350 years ago in the comments. we have a better understanding in 2020 of how to be better poeple and how to respect our fellow south africans, well I do at least...
By the way, its a little known fact that Dutch settlers were leaving Holland to escape Religious persecution. History is a maze of truths and lies. Decent people just want to be left alone to live in peace. There's always some heartless criminals in a society who cause constant chaos. Same applies today. Those who actually committed crimes back then are now all DEAD. I would have loved to be a khoisan living in those beautiful dwellings. I know I would have been shocked and grief stricken to lose such a wonderful life style. I feel grief for the Khoisan, the American Indians and now the Amazon Indians (to name a few).
It's also seldom mentioned in some of these conversations that the native Bantu and Khoi people had conflicts amongst themselves as well. Everyone is some kind of victim AND some kind of persecutor i believe. History is a cruel and deceptive mistress, and the best we can do in trying to understand and benefit from her is be fully truthful and objective in our conversation and research and what not. Kudos for teaching me something today person.
Nice idea, however, based purely on the amount of times the narrative contradicted itself, I cannot take it seriously... and I am 8 minutes in. This is BEFORE you start fact checking.

Disturbingly biased? The Bible says the truth shall set us free! It's your lies and secrets that will make you sick. To pretend like momma and daddy didn't do what they did.

WOW . Why
Say what 😲
I find that very hard to believe, I'm familiar with Brackenfell and can't see someone walk +- 38km in 5 hours
I used to live on Buitenkant Street while studying in Cape Town from Cameroon and this castle was one of the first places I visited

But do you even know that some slaves came from Mozambique and Angola too?
I even know many slaves were important from Madagascar! Nevermind Mozambique and Angola
If all the guilty ones are dead, why are you still alive?

More like 350 year ago
Thank you for this interesting video.
So sad now we can't even afford to live in or around these areas.
It's called Gentrification. Keep "them" out of the city.

It happened 350 years ago? Not from 1652 to 1994 and beyond?
Translation: only talk about history in a way that doesn’t make white people uncomfortable.

The guilty ones might be dead, but many of them lived up till 1994, beyond and till today
Huguenots I know.
The past is important , without it no present and future.
Confused time lines and added political rhetoric confuses the entire historical past
The VOC was making HUGE profits in the Indies.....
What about the group of Chinese people who was also kept at the castle as slaves.
This is as one-sided as Jan Van Riebeeck's journals.
Isn't it just!

Only the descendants of the "all of them dead devils" would argue that the narrative was false.
Klop kak sal nog ge lewe in poverty
Very biased and one-sided interpretation of history.
This was the most biased wishy washy documentary. Absolute rubbish
A rubbish will think this is rubbish.
Another racist here.@@mapoosesafaree3039
What a lot of rubbish
Only a rubbish will say the truth is rubbish

Yes. Load of rubbish for the guilty ones. Look in the mirror to see a real criminal.
@mapoosesafaree3039 do something about it you racist .
This is disturbingly biased
The truth was never biased. It only tend to hurt the guilty ones.
Ag mapoes
