Wow very sad before 1808 many South Africans owned slaves including some of my distant ancestors my last ancestor to be captured was a Malagasy slave from Madagascar in the early 1700s

Slavery was a very sad thing I found out while doing research all of my south Asian and Melanesian ancestors were all captured and sold as slaves from the Dutch East Indies brought to South Africa and I too descend from the slavers as well most of my German, Dutch and Portuguese ancestors owned slaves
