Slavery Heritage Guide of the Cape

The formal colonial presence of the Netherlands, which lasted 150 years, had a huge impact on South Africa. Anyone walking around Cape Town and consciously looking around will almost stumble over the street names, graves, monuments, buildings and churches that betray Dutch colonial traces.
A guide to 80 different locations around Cape Town that have a direct link to the period of Dutch colonisation and to Dutch practices of trans-Atlantic slavery and Indian Ocean slavery.

Text in both English and Dutch.
