The village Apartheid forgot

I've mentioned the type of people in Pniel and explained their racial mixture was ambitious members of the Dutch East India company and uncooperative merchants in Indonesia, exiled for their opposition to the Dutch company. Because of that heritage, they were an economically active group and developed businesses buying fruit from farmers and selling it in the Cape Town market. When Apartheid was introduced they were, being non-white banned from the market place and had to found other markets. They turned to the country areas to the east and north, where fruit and fresh vegetable were treats, if not luxuries and made fortunes. With their profits, being community minded, they built their own reservoir and several other facilities.
