- W76184977 abstract "The Slagtersnek (Butcher’s Nek) episode of 1815 is a lurid minor event in the history of the early Cape Colony. In 1806 the British seized the Cape from the Batavian Republic to gain control of sea routes during the Napoleonic Wars. By this time many of the Dutch settlers had moved far from Cape Town to what is now the Eastern Cape, where a frontier situation had developed as a result of contact with the Xhosa tribes. As is usually the case, frontier conditions far from central control created a frontier mentality of strong, often wild, individualism, impatient of rule, not always admirable but possibly containing the seeds of tragedy. It was out of this frontier situation that the Slagtersnek incident developed. The servants of the Boer farmers were generally Khoi (Hottentots) with an admixture of slave blood from the Far East, an inheritance of Dutch rule. Slavery at the Cape was abolished only in 1834, by the British administration. Among other things, British rule from 1806 involved various attempts to control the frontier, not only through the use of British forces but with the help of sparse communities of Dutch farmers. Much of the local administration was done through the appointment by the British of local Dutch settlers. The play has a number of characters with the rank of Field-cornet, operating with British forces to quell the rebellion of 1815. The British also brought into being the Cape Corps, a corps of Khoi soldiers under British officers, which would also be part of the 1815 drama. These troops were called “pandours” or “pandoers”, in Afrikaans. An important consequence of British rule at the Cape was a more efficient administration, including even the distant eastern areas where a spirit of independence had been developing. Apart from taxes and fines, there was an attempt to enforce British concepts of the rule of law, limiting the ‘rough justice’ of the paternalistic master/servant relationship, requiring legal procedures at often very distant magistracies and making it possible for servants to lay charges" @default.
