De Mist was asked by the Asiatic Council in Holland to make recommendations on the administration of the Cape in the event of it being returned to Dutch rule by the British. The MEMORANDUM… was the result. When the Cape was returned in 1802, he was appointed Commissioner-General on behalf of Batavia. He reached the Cape in 1802, and a year later visited the interior, accompanied by, amongst others, his daughter Augusta and Dr M.H. Lichtenstein, who both kept journals of their travels. He believed in the sovereignty of the law, and instituted a strong central government. He stressed individualism and free trade, but strict separation of the races. He gave the church autonomy and instituted various other reforms. He returned to Holland in 1805.

50 De Wet, G.C. DIE VRYLIEDE EN VRYSWARTES IN DIE KAAPSE NEDERSETTING, 1657-1707. Cape Town: Historiese Publikasie-Vereniging, 1981.

vi, 246 p.: port., tables, map. Skivertex, d.w. faded on spine, as usually seen, creased on edges. R 500

In 1657, nine VOC officials were given permission to make a living pursuing private enterprises. The "Vryliede" formed a new economic and social group at the Cape at the same time as another group was emerging: the "Vryswartes" [Free Blacks]. De Wet examines these two groups and their contributions, both positive and negative, to the settlement. De Wet also illustrates, from the court records, that one in seven free whites ended up in court at some time or another (many on charges of drunkeness) and roughly half were sued for debt. There was also a "lively sex traffic with female slaves", as there was a shortage of female immigrants and many of the free burghers married or started families with freed slaves. Dr de Wet worked in the South African Archive Service for many years. His sober assessment of early life at the Cape went virtually unnoticed in comparison to Dr Hans Heese's (also an archivist) GROEP SONDER GRENSE, published a few years later. Both books revealed the shaky foundations upon which the apartheid ediface was built.

"Her brilliant and vivacious letters from the Colony give a capital description of the country in the early sixites: she evidently greatly admired the scenery and the novelty… she was [also] a keen observer of the character of the inhabitants." Mendelssohn, vol. 1, p. 620. She pays particular attention to the different racial groupings of the Cape and her impressions of their interactions and relationships.

Isaacs and King were shipwrecked in Natal Bay and while the crew built another ship, Isaacs ventured inland to visit Shaka's royal kraal. He records his impressions of the Zulu people and their customs, which are particularly interesting as they are an accurate account of the Zulu people before they came under European influence. He lived in daily contact with Shaka and was treated on the whole with favour, having rank and honours conferred upon him, as well as a large tract of land.
