Abstract
The Eastern Cape is one of the nine provinces of South Africa, located
in the south-east of the country along the Indian Ocean seaboard. The
area was a site of prolonged struggle between native peoples, principally
Xhosa-speakers, and European colonists throughout the eighteen and
nineteenth centuries, which saw the defeat and subjugation of the
African chieftaincies and the loss of the majority of territory to white
settlers.
