	Cape Coloureds - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term Cape Coloureds refers to the modern-day descendants of slaves imported into South Africa by Dutch settlers as well as to other groups of mixed ancestry.
		Technically, the term "Cape Coloured" referred to a subset of "Coloured" South Africans, with subjective criteria having been used by the Apartheid bureaucracy to determine whether a person was a "Cape Coloured", or belonged to one of a number of other related "Coloured" subgroups such as the "Cape Malays", or "Other Coloureds".
		Cape Coloured group is far from being homogenous: these divisions were accentuated by the Apartheid classifications which defined type hierarchies with this grouping.

	Coloured - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		But some people who identify as Coloured reject the term “mixed race” on the grounds that it suggests that they are somehow the exception to a general rule of racial purity — an idea not borne out by genetics or history.
		Coloured people largely lost their votes in the 1950s, with the last municipal votes being removed in 1972.
		Coloured people were subject to forced relocation; for instance, the multicultural Cape Town area of District Six was bulldozed and its inhabitants moved to racially-designated sections of the metropolitan area on the Cape Flats.

		The governor of the Cape Colony, Sir Harry Smith, gained control of the region between the Orange and Vaal rivers in 1848, and the territory was renamed the Orange River Sovereignty.

	Debating Coloured Identity in the Western Cape - African Security Review Vol 14 No 4, 2005
		Many coloureds have indicated that they feel marginalised in the post-apartheid dispensation, and are especially resentful at what they perceive to be a preferential allocation of resources to Africans in the Western Cape, when their needs are just as great.
		Coloureds are descendants of the sexual liaisons between colonialists, slaves and the indigenous Khoisan.
		This generated tensions not only in the coloured communities who felt that their housing needs were not being catered for, but also in the informal settlements where older Khayelitsha residents felt that preference was being given to the new arrivals.

		In fact, during the difficult decades of the 1970s and 1980s the ‘Coloureds’ and their sub-categories appended ‘so-called’ to their ethnic identities that clearly reflected that the communities had been experiencing an identity crisis amidst a continuous traumatic socio-political and economic crisis.

		The Cape Malay Association of the 1910’s and 1920’s, for example, was very comfortable in using the term for its own objectives; in fact, the CMA sought political favours from the then South African government in the 1920s.

	Politics of the Cape Flats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The Western Cape has the somewhat stigmatised status as being the only one of South Africa's nine provinces in which the National Party (NP) was able to achieve a majority; both in the general election of 1994, and the local elections of 1996.
		The electoral victory of the NP in the Western Cape has been, and continues to be a subject of intense analysis and debate.
		The somewhat extremist articulation of this debate, is that coloureds should be regarded as a separate ethnic group and that, therefore, provision should be made for the coloureds to exercise their rights as an ethnic group.

		The failure, in coloured terms, of the grand narrative of liberation for how else to describe our vote against non-racial democracy demands fresh enquiry into the questions of postcolonial 'hybridity' and identity as well as the territorialization or geography of belonging within which identity is produced.
		For instance, apartheid education ensured that coloureds do Got speak the indigenous languages, and the Soweto uprising of 1976, characterized as a revolt against Afrikaans as the language of the oppressor, produced a movement amongst coloureds in the Cape to rescue their first language from its association with oppression.
		The tension in the story is marked by nomenclature: a tussle between the youth and his brother when the latter speaks of 'bantu' and 'darkies'; the use of the derogatory 'Bushie' (from 'Bushman') by a fl man to indicate the youngman's lack of belonging as opposed to the term 'comrade' used by his friends.

		For the fl majority, especially for the coloured female writers who are discriminated as objects of men and the colonial other, their purpose to write down autobiographical South African stories is primarily based on the anxiety of being silenced and excluded.
		Although the coloured's miscegenation origin is denigrated as "taint and degeneration" (White Writing 136), their "borderline existence" marks a displacement that represents "a hybridity, a difference 'within' a subject that inhabits the rim of an inbetween reality" (Bhabha 13).
		Unfortunately, the necessary subversiveness is transformed into "coloured complicity" as the coloured South Africans agree to the National Party's expedient use of "Brown Afrikaners" in an attempt to fabricate a traditional past and further to foster the notion of a coloured nation (Wicomb, "Shame and Identity" 102-3).

	Afrikaner Race Purity
		The very fact Cape Coloureds still speak Afrikaans, even though their ancestors did not participate in the Great Trek, shows that the language did not originate amongst the Voortrekkers, as Afrikaner white supremists claim.
		Cape Afrikaans (spoken by Coloureds) and Orange River Afrikaans (spoken by white Afrikaners), although baring dialectic differences, are similar enough to be regarded as the same language and mutually intelligible.
		The origin of the Coloured population of South Africa can be traced back to 1652, when marriages between European colonists and the two indigenous populations, the Khoi and the San, occurred relatively frequently.
