Description
English: Family of Boers

Original description as presented by the Swaziland National Trust Commission's Digital Archives:

"Boer Family, 1886. The Boers (Afrikaans for farmers) were of Dutch descent. Recognised by many Africans as a tribe, the were a semi-nomadic cattle owning people. When faced with situations they did not like (i.e. emancipation of slaves in the Cape by the British) they loaded up their oxwagons and trekked. Their life and values were based upon the Old Testament which was the guide on their travels. The Old Testament was also their justification for racial superiority. Often poor (look at the house) because of their isolation they suffered from inbreeding and social ostracisation. When they were faced with loss of land and political control by the British quest for gold they were unable to find more land and so they fought - the results were the Boer Wars."
