This book focuses on the historical mistreatment of native populations in South Africa, particularly under the rule of the South African Republic (Transvaal). The author traces the roots of this mistreatment to the Dutch colonial era, highlighting the longstanding traditions of slavery and oppression that were deeply rooted in Boer society. The book examines the British Government's role in perpetuating these injustices, particularly its decision to retrocede the Transvaal to Boer leadership in 1881. Through the inclusion of eyewitness accounts and official documents, the author provides a compelling indictment of the inhumane treatment endured by native populations, including the widespread use of slavery, forced labor, and violent suppression. The book concludes by emphasizing the need for a revised understanding of the causes of the ongoing conflict in South Africa, arguing that a failure to acknowledge and address these historical injustices will only perpetuate the cycle of violence and exploitation.
