The source of Boer people

1707, 1779 white people came to the Cape Colony, most of them were of Dutch or German origin, and occasionally some French Protestants. Today, most white South Africans are descendants of these people. In the late 20th century, there were nearly 2.6 million white people in South Africa, accounting for about 60% of the total white population. 1652, the Dutch East India Company sent a team of officers and men, led by ribbeck, to set up a shipping station at the Cape of Good Hope. At first, the company encouraged immigrants, but after 10, the population of Cape Colony naturally increased. Although the colony was prosperous at this time, most white people turned to wandering pastoral life. This is because Cape Town's agricultural products are overproduced, and slaves manage colonial labor, so there is no other motivation to make the colonial population continue to increase, thus promoting its spread abroad and becoming self-sufficient ranchers.
