Cape Coloureds

Uncommon card · No. 75975

Cape Coloureds (Afrikaans: Kaapse Kleurlinge) are a South African group of Coloureds who are from the Cape region in South Africa which consists of the Western Cape, Northern Cape and Eastern Cape. Their ancestry comes from the interracial mixing between the European, the indigenous Khoi and San, the Xhosa plus other Bantu people, indentured labourers imported from the British Raj, slaves imported from the Dutch East Indies, and immigrants from the Levant or Yemen (or a combination of all). Eventually, all these ethnic and racial groups intermixed with each other, forming a group of mixed-race people that became known as the "Cape Coloureds".
