History Summary
Cultural backgrounds with languages and religions of captured Africans and Indians brought cultural diversity.
Many South Africans are descendants of slaves and names such as Cupido, September and Titus are somewhat proof that you're a descendant of a slave.
Some historians argue that Afrikaans developed as the result of the slaves trying to communicate with their Dutch owners.
The first Afrikaans was written in Arabic script which was most likely to be written at Masjid Awal the first Masjid in Cape Town.
Afrikaans also contains many words from the eastern languages spoken by slaves. Examples of these words are: Baie - many; Baklei - to fight; Baadjie - jacket and piesang - banna.
The home languages of the slaves were diverse some including, Buginese, Tamil and Malagasy

There are also other problems like cultural appropriation and the theft of people's wealth and education. The opportunity for success as a black person was made low on purpose.
