Name any two countries where slaves in the Cape came from

1 answer

Slaves brought to the Cape, which is now part of South Africa, primarily came from various regions, including:

  1. Indonesia - Many slaves were brought from the Indonesian archipelago, particularly from places like Java and Sumatra.
  2. Mozambique - Some slaves were also sourced from the East African coast, including regions like Mozambique.

These enslaved individuals were part of a larger system of forced labor in the Cape Colony during the 17th and 18th centuries.
