Griqua People - Part 2 = The History of South Africa

The Griquas are a diverse group of mixed-race individuals who originated in the early history of the Dutch Cape Colony in Southern Africa. They are a subgroup of the former Khoe-speaking nations and have a unique origin. During apartheid, they were classified as "Coloured," a special racial category. The Griquas are considered Cape Coloureds and played a significant role in the Great Trek. They formed their own states, known as "Griqua States," which were similar to the White Afrikaans states formed during the Great Trek, known as "Boer States."

As a coloured man who is a descendent of Griqua's I have learned so much about my history from this series 😊

The Griqua lost out to British imperialism first in the diamond rich GRIQUA LAND WEST and then to the land hungry British settlers in GRIQUALAND EAST .
The injustices yet unanswered . The indigenous First Nation people suffer at the hands of Bantu and Europeans .
