The 1891 Cape Census provided a more comprehensive explanation on how these ‘races’ were determined. It was the pre-Apartheid ‘Pencil Test’ for the KhoeKhoe. ‘Hottentot’ numbers In 1875 - 90 562 to 1891- 50 388 this was largely due to specific instructions given to enumerators

In 1985 it was agreed that a militant structure be established to render Bonteheuwel ungovernable and strategically strike against all arms of the state. This structure became the Bonteheuwel Military Wing(BMW). Its members were ‘Coloured’ students between the ages of 14-18.

The 1875 Cape Census listed 5 groups classified as ‘Coloured.’ This was also the beginning of the legislative erasure of KhoeKhoe people as ‘Mixed’ using pseudo-race phenotype misrepresentation - it lacks a basis in scientific science & contradicts indigenous methods of identity

Before- The Cape of Good Hope Blue Books were annual statistical reports published from 1821, these reports referenced the various populations prior to the abolishment of slavery as European(British and Dutch), Indigenous KhoeKhoe(Hottentot) and Bushman, Enslaved and Free Blacks

Here we see the comparison of numbers of the population of White(European) and Coloured(Hottentot, K*fir, and Other.)

Who were/are ‘Coloureds’ in South Africa?
The British ‘COLOURED’ of the Cape initially included all peoples who were not European.

His physical books are extremely rare, but there are digital copies for the masses. His subject matter demonstrated the madness of Apartheid and how it oppressed coloured people lives, & was part of the ANC faction that pushed to say coloureds as Africans
