Give reasons why the Dutch East India Company (VOC) established a refreshment station at the Cape in 1652.
a. The VOC needed a place along the long sea route to the East where its ships and crews could gain provisions. The
Cape was strategically situated halfway between Europe and the East. Secondly, the Remonstrantie − a report–
highlighted the availability of fresh water, the possibility of trading livestock with the Khoekhoe, and the agricultural
and fishing potential of the Cape. Moreover, Table Bay was navigable and provided good shelter for ships
b. It is important to remember that the VOC initially wished to extend its territorial control (colonisation) by establishing
the refreshment station at the Cape. It viewed the Cape as a foot hold where it could potentially increase the
efficiency and profitability of its trade between the Netherlands and the East. For this purpose, control of the territory
would be necessary
c. The VOC and by extension the Dutch government needed a way station suitable enough for them to create a prison
for undesirables that were exiled from the Netherlands. This way station could be used a concentration camp where
prisoners under the governorship of Jan van Riebeek could be used a free labour for farming, hunting, and fishing,
thereby providing provisions for traveling sailors.
