The period to at the Cape of Good Hope was a time when the Colony was poised to develop in a number of possible directions large due to the efforts of two men who in today’s language would have been said to be “Coloured”. The first two Governors of the Cape Simon van der Stel and his son Willem Adrian van der Stel were remarkable men who made an indelible contribution to development at the Cape, laying the foundations for possibly a very different future to the trajectory on which the Cape and indeed South Africa would develop.
Simon on retirement and Simon as a young man
Simon van der Stel was born on a ship in Mauritius where his father, Adrian, had been posted by the United Dutch East India Company as Commander. Simon’s mother was Maria Levens, the daughter of a slave by the name of Monica van Goa also known as Monica van der Kus. It was commonplace at the time for the Dutch men working in South East Asia to take non-European wives. Simon van der Stel became the first person not born in Europe and born of mixed parentage to be appointed Governor of the Cape. Indeed there had also been only Commanders at the Cape previously who reported to the Govern
VAN DER STEL, WILHELM ADRIAEN (WILLEM ADRIAAN)
VAN DER STEL, WILHELM ADRIAEN (WILLEM ADRIAAN) (–), die oudste seun van Simon van der Stel*, het sy pa in na die Kaap vergesel. Willem keer egter kort daarna na Nederland terug en bly ná sy huwelik met Maria de Hase in in Amsterdam.
In volg Willem sy pa as goewerneur op en reeds die volgende jaar vestig hy die eerste boere in die Land van Waveren (Tulbagh). Dit het 43 jaar later tot die stigting van die nuwe Roodezandt-gemeente by die latere Tulbagh gelei. Willem Adriaan se bewind aan die Kaap is gekenmerk deur ’n stryd met die vryburgers. Dit is grotendeels meegebring deur sy uitgebreide boerdery-bedrywighede op sy plaas Vergelegen by die huidige Somerset-Wes waardeur hy ’n belangrike konkurrent van die vryburgers geword het. Magsmisbruik deur hom en van sy amptenare was ook vir die vryburgers onaanvaarbaar en hulle stuur in ’n klagskrif na die Here XVII. Van der Stel en sommige van die amptenare is uiteindelik na Nederland teruggeroep waar hy hom in in Lisse gevestig het.
Skynbaar het Van der Stel ’n belangstelling in Islam* gehad, want volgens Valentijn* se reisverhaal was die verbanne koning van Tambora op Vergelegen bes
WILLEM ADRIAAN VAN DER STEL ()
Willem Adriaan van der Stel was ’n ongewilde Kaapse goewerneur.
Hy is op 24 Augustus in die Nederlandse hoofstad Amsterdam gebore en was die oudste seun van Simon van der Stel. Hy het sy pa na die Kaap vergesel toe hy vyftien jaar oud was en het sy pa in as goewerneur van die Kaap die Goeie Hoop opgevolg.
Sy liefde vir boerdery is vrye teuels gegee en hy het ’n landgoed by Vergelegen, naby die huidige Somerset-Wes tot stand gebring. Die omvang van sy bedrywighede, asook sy persoonlikheid, het gelei tot verskeie klagtes, wat op die spits gedryf is deur ’n klagskrif wat 63 burgers in na die Here XVII in Nederland gestuur het. Hy het die situasie glad nie goed hanteer nie en leiers soos Adam Tas gevange gehou. Dit het gemaak dat die Nederlandse goewerneur na die Kaap ontbied is om die saak te ondersoek. Hoewel hy ’n lang geskrewe verdediging ingedien het, is uitspraak teen hom gelewer. Die landgoed Vergelegen is verkoop nadat daar beslag daarop gelê is en hy is in uit die diens van die Kompanjie ontslaan.
Hoewel die amptenare in die Kaap in verbied is om grond te besit, het hierdie bepaling selfs voor Simon van der Stel se tyd ’n dooie letter gew
Willem Adriaan (or Wilhem Adriaen) van der Stel, governor of the Cape of Good Hope, was the eldest son of Simon van der Stel* and his wife Johanna Jacoba Six. He came to the Cape of Good Hope with his father in October , when the latter was appointed commander of the colony. From he was employed in various positions in the administration of the Dutch East India Company at the Cape, among others as a cashier. In he returned to the Netherlands and that same year married Maria de Haese, with whom he had several children. They lived in Amsterdam and were well off. Van der Stel also had an estate where he grew plants, including trees and plants from the Cape which were then rare. He was a cultured person and a respected member of the community, but rather autocratic. In September he was appointed to succeed his father as governor of the Cape. He arrived on 23 January and took up his post on 12 February, at the age of
One of his first activities was to plant thousands of oak trees that he had brought with him, at Rondebosch. He also gave instructions that 20 oak trees should be ordered and planted at Stellenbosch and Drakenstein. In November he set out on a tour of inspection of th
