1.2 Before the arrival of Europeans in 1652, children in South African indigenous
communities were primarily raised and educated within the context of their respective
cultures. The education and upbringing of children were typically collective responsibilities
shared by the community. Children learned through observation, imitation, and
participation in daily activities. They acquired knowledge, skills, and cultural values through
storytelling, oral traditions, ceremonies, and practical experiences. Education emphasized
the transmission of cultural heritage, social values, and survival skills necessary for their
specific environments.
1.3 South African communities experienced negative transformations due to colonial
influence from 1652 onwards. Some of these transformations include:
- Land dispossession and displacement: Indigenous communities were forcibly removed
from their lands, leading to the loss of traditional livelihoods, cultural practices, and
community cohesion.
- Racial segregation and discrimination: Colonial policies established systems of racial
segregation, such as apartheid, which institutionalized racial inequality and limited
opportunities for black communities.
- Exploitation and labor coercion: Indigenous people were often exploited for their labor,
subjected to forced labor practices, and experienced economic marginalization.
- Cultural assimilation and erosion: Indigenous cultures, languages, and practices were
devalued and suppressed, leading to the erosion of cultural identity and traditions.
- Social and political marginalization: Indigenous communities were politically
marginalized, denied basic rights and representation, and subjected to discriminatory laws
and policies.
