	Jan van Riebeeck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Johan Anthoniszoon "Jan" van Riebeeck (21 April 1619–18 January 1677), was a Dutch colonial administrator.
		Van Riebeeck was Commander of the Cape from 1652 to 1662; he was charged with building a fort, with improving the natural anchorage at Table Bay, planting fruit and vegetables and obtaining livestock from the indigenous Khoikhoi people.
		Van Riebeeck reported the first comet discovered from South Africa, C/1652 Y1, which was spotted on December 17, 1652 (it was most likely not "discovered" by him, but his report is the only one surviving).

	South African Wine Company
		Neither Jan van Riebeeck nor the Free Burghers held much viticultural knowledge or produced wine of any fine quality and it was not until Simon van der Stel, the Governor of the Cape, demonstrated personally that it was possible to produce palatable wine, that the quality of the wine started improving.
		Willem Adrian van der Stel succeeded his father as the governor of the Cape and although despised by the Free Burghers for his tyranical style and corrupt practices, his useful contribution to improving the vineyards in the Cape cannot be disputed.
		Jan van Riebeeck may never have dreamed that out of the humble vineyard planted in his garden at the foot of Table Mountain would grow sprawling wine farms and complex corporations, and yet their raison d'etre remains the same.

	Jan Van Riebeeck - Founder of South Africa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		But while the station was not meant to be a political possession, an embryonic colony, once the Dutch had gained their toe-hold and meant to keep it, Van Riebeeck became the unwitting "founder" of a European settlement.
		The VOC had instructed Jan Van Riebeeck to ensure amity with these people, but the Khoikhoi were dismayed by the incursions and, in 1659, the first serious conflict arose.
		Jan Van Riebeeck's diarist's record of a meeting with Khoikhoi leaders at the Castle in 1660 is a telling reflection: "Eventually, the Khoikhoi had to be told that they had now lost the land as a result of the war and had no alternative but to admit that it was no longer theirs.

	06 April 1652 - Van Riebeeck's landing at the Cape (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		The arrival of Jan van Riebeeck in April 1652 at the Cape of Good Hope to establish a refreshment station for the Dutch East India Company's trading ships that were en route to East Asia marked the beginning of permanent European settlement in the region.
		Hence Van Riebeeck, coming as he did from a bureaucratic culture with a unilateral, albeit written, mandate to establish a refreshment station, refused to acknowledge that land ownership could be organised in ways different from the Dutch/European way.
		In a sense the arrival of Jan van Riebeeck in April 1652 was the irreversible beginning of the end of indigenous cultures, of their ways of organising society and of knowing.

	ZNet Commentary: Wretched Blacks of Cape Town
		These historians will go further to tell you that when Mr Van Riebeeck arrived at the Cape the first people he encountered were the Khoisan people, however, one is always given the impression that the Khoisan were not really fl or African, their second mistake.
		The fact that Xhosa-speaking people, of which I happen to be one of them, use the same click-sounds in their speech as the Khoisan and the fact that Xhosas share the same religious belief system with the Khoisan is still a source of confusion for many historians.
		However, Jan Van Riebeeck was not exactly a sociologist who would find such information fascinating, his only worry was to make enough profits for the Dutch East India Company (DEIC).
