Summary |
880-01 Wine has been made in the Western Cape region of South Africa for over 300 years. At first, slaves and indigenous Khoisan worked the vineyards owned by white European settlers. Classified as "Coloureds," the descendants of these laborers have continued to work these vineyards for generations. Until recently, they could not own the houses they lived in, and were paid for their labor partly in alcohol. This instituted form of abuse called the dop system was designed by wine farm owners to encourage alcohol dependency in their workers so that they would not leave the farm to look for work elsewhere |
