EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the imposing figure of Johan Jan Van Riebeeck, a Dutch colonial administrator who is credited as the founder of Cape Town, South Africa. Van Riebeeck, born in 1619, arrived at the Cape of Good Hope in 1652 as the commander of the Dutch East India Company's first permanent settlement. Over the next 25 years, he served as the chief administrator of the colony, overseeing its growth and development. The statue, sculpted in the likeness of Van Riebeeck, stands proudly in the heart of Cape Town, overlooking the bustling city and the harbor that played a crucial role in the Dutch colonization of southern Africa. The statue, which was unveiled in 1932, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Van Riebeeck and his role in shaping the history of South Africa. Van Riebeeck's arrival marked the beginning of European settlement in South Africa, and his leadership paved the way for the establishment of a thriving colonial society. Despite the complex and often controversial history of colonialism in South Africa, Van Riebeeck remains an important figure in the country's past. This photograph, with its hauntingly beautiful composition and timeless quality, invites us to reflect on the complex legacy of this Dutch colonial administrator and the role he played in shaping the history of Cape Town and South Africa.
