South Africa would be the best place to live as a native population during colonization.

In South Africa the Khoikhoi were indentured slaves. The Dutch made them work for food or anything that they might need. If you think about it, it is the same thing that every adult that has a job does. However, instead getting a loaf of bread, they get money to go buy the loaf of bread. It would not be much different than what I am going to have to do in a few years; work for what I need. If they don’t work, they don’t survive.
Some may say that Rwanda is the best place to live, but I disagree. It may have been the best place to live a while ago, because they didn’t have “slaves”, or workers. But, in the following years hundreds of thousands of people were killed. Rwanda had experienced a terrible act of genocide in the 90s. Most people would not want to be there to see something like that first hand and I’m one of them. Rwanda is the last place I would want to live, because at least in the other countries you could stay alive.
