- The Great Trek was a northward migration of Dutch-speaking settlers who travelled by wagon trains from the Cape Colony into the interior of modern South Africa from 1836 onwards, seeking to live beyond the Cape's British colonial administration. This formed and integral part of South African History.

Very interesting, there was one other trek of which little is known and this was all the way to Kenya. This trek I am guessing took place after the second Boer war and the trekkers must have sailed from maybe Durban to Mombasa, Kenya. Anyway, this small party of Dutch settlers then went inland untill they reached a place in the highlands, where the climate was cooler and there established dairy farms and a creamery which went on to be named the "Kenya Co-Operative Creameries" or KCC. They also found the town of Eldoret there. KCC used to supply the whole of east Africa with their products.
That is interesting - I love the extra information that filters through that ties to the videos
@@joshuawolvaardt Afrikaners moved to Kenya after the Second Anglo-Boer War, in the first decade of the 20th century. Some of them were handsoppers who left South Africa due to mistrust from fellow Afrikaners, who saw them as traitors, while others moved to Kenya in an attempt to reach Deutsch Ost-Afrika and escape British governance once more.
Both the Germans and British accepted the voortrekkers into their respective east African colonies as pawns for a proxy war between the German empire and the British empire - coming to blows in WW1, with Germany ultimately relinquishing its colonies to the British.
It is remarkable that both the Germans and the British found the fiercely independent and conservative Kenyan Voortrekkers inconducive to their imperial ambitions, and their abuse of the native Africans was also found to be repugnant, but ultimately tolerated for the purposes of expanding imperial control.
In the leadup to Kenya becoming independent in 1963, which the worn-out British empire tried in vain to violently suppress, the Kenyan Voortrekkers emigrated back to South Africa: these voortrekkers refused to live under an emnyama (black) African-run government, but found white-supremacist Apartheid South Africa more conducive to their interests.

Thank you @guillaumacabano33 - I will definitely be reading this article - maybe we can do a part 3 👍
This is Beautiful...YES... From AOTEAROA MAORI... Who loves the Boer Trekking...
If I was at school I would have said "BORING" until I visited Blood River and the battlefields in Natal, I think my negativity would be because it was forced upon us.
I think everything that you can't be directly involved in while at school is considered boring. I hope you enjoy the channel now
@10:03 Jou portrette van die Bantjies-familie is verkeerd. Die Bantjies was kleurling Afrikaners, nie blanke Europeers nie. Daai portrette wat jy gebruik is van latere generasie Bantjiese, van toe hulle meer ingemeng het met Europese Afrikaners.
Daai eerste portret wat jy is waarskynlik die kleinseun van die Jan Gerritze Bantjies, gebore 1865 te Potchestroom. Dis nie 'n portret van die ouer generasie voortrekker Jan Gerritze Bantjies wat die Kommissietrek egter deurgebring het nie, m.a.w. sy oupa.
En die tweede portret wat jy is waarskynlik van Bernard Louis Bantjies, 'n nóg latere generasie Bantjies, gebore in 1890 te Rustenburg.

Is this a computer dictation?
this is my own creation
@@joshuawolvaardt You ever heard of punctuation?
@@greenpedal370 not for the CZcams versions.
this contains a lot of racist dog whistles shame on you
how so?
Really, where ? I don't think you understand what this video was about, and you are speaking out of your own dumb racist ignorance. Rather be quiet of things that you don't understand.
I noticed that as well.
Like what?
@@joshuawolvaardtI admire the way you handle the trolls. Wel gedaan!
