Kooikeria
The colonisation of South Africa had many benefits for the Dutch and the British. They could obtain more land through colonising South Africa, so they could expand their territory and increase their power. The Dutch and Britishcould also obtainwealth from the mineral-rich land by seizing the gold, diamonds and other metals through mining.
Besides, colonising South Africa had benefits in trade. The sailors could stop at South Africa while trading on sea and could restock their supply of food including meat and vegetables. They could also benefit through trade of South Africa with other countries by enforcing its control over trade routes to India.
Moreover, the Dutch and the British had rich human resources by forcing the black Africans to do heavy work such as mining. They forced the native people to work as slaves, but only paid low wages and provided harsh working conditions for the workers.
