South Africa is a country set with an abundance of natural resources including fertile farmlands and unique mineral resources. South African mines are world leaders in precious metals and gems (MBendi) The climate is mild, and resembles the San Francisco bay area weather more than anywhere else. Maybe this comfortable climate attracted the first non-native settlers in the 1600s.

The origins are said to be caused of by the events of this time in the 16th century. Many whites that live in South Africa believe in a myth passed down over time that says that the first Africans and the first European settlers arrived in roughly the same time period. And most also believe that this was mostly the earliest forms of territorial segregation.(Anzovin 8)

But this region was occupied millions of years earlier. And based on proof as little as two thousand years ago it was inhabited by hunter gatherers. By the 1500s two groups of people, close descendants of the regions earliest population, were still in South Africa. The first group the San, were later labeled as bushmen by Europeans remained primitive like there ancestors. They were nomads and followed their game.(Pascoe 21)

Now it was time for this British to move in but their reasons for coming did not have anything to do with the settlement it self. In the time following the french revolution in 1789, Europe was dissected into chaos.

The third change occurring in the settlement was coming from wide spread disfavor of The Dutch East Company. The company ruled of the citizen as if they were employees. Most of these discouraged settlers want to own their own land and have control their own farms. So the government finally gave them their own stretches of allotted land. This group was giving the name of “Boer”, meaning farmer in Dutch. The Dutch East Company soon favored the idea of independent farming and realized that the Boers were a better source to get cattle and food from that trading with the Khoikhoi. As a result of this change the

violence. And in 1659 it began, the first Hottentot war. The natives to the worst blows and the settlement still expanded. This scenario occurred over and over again during the next years and these battles not only gave the Dutch more and more land but also thousands of cattle to supply themselves with. While the territory expanded the settlement itself was also undergoing changes. The first major change was the implementing of slavery. As the settlement expanded the Dutch became more and more needy of someone to run the household, raise the crops, and tend to the cattle. The second change was a surprising one when South Africa’s later history is considered, racial blending or mixing. This all stemmed from the fact that almost all of the early settlers were men. Since they were not in their homeland most turned to the natives for wives. (Pascoe 30)

Starting in 1946 with India’s with drawl of trade relation in south Africa the world was attempting to bring down the apartheid regime by imposing sanctions that caused the dis- investment of the country. South Africa had no oil resources what so ever so that was one of the first to be sanctioned but this was not enough to get everyone on the bandwagon. The Soweto killings really got them moving again. In 1977 the UNSC United Nations Security council agreed on the banning of sale of any military equipment to the country. So far these sanctions were slowly and effectively cutting off South Africa’s ties making their isolation more and more visible.(Bradley 33) A study on the effectiveness on the sanctions effect on the apartheid said the it reduced South Africa’s exports by 13%. And the weapons ban bought down the South African Defense Force Which caused them to Withdraw from Angola and provide independence. And many believe that the withdraw was the turning off of the life support of the apartheid. And now that the racial were on there way to being corrected it was now time for the politics to keep the peace and let the people have their say in the government (Bradley 36) .

Now comes some of the earliest pleads for the implementation of rights for the mistreated blacks of the region. But This pressure did not come from the Boers or from within the country itself. Missionary societies from London began to set up missionaries for the Khoikhoi. This missionaries provided them with an education that would be there first
