"Every male Griqua who settled in East Griqualand was able to secure a 3,000 acres (1,200 ha) farm, but most of them sold their land cheaply to white settlers and squandered their money. The Rev William Dower in his 1902 book The Early Annals of Kokstad describes in great detail how cheaply the Griqua gave their farms away.[2]"

I understand that anyone who benefited from what was, of course, the theft of land of the Griqua, would want to blame the Griqua for selling their land cheaply - and willingly. That implies they had a choice in demanding a higher price. 83.84.100.133 (talk) 22:52, 23 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
