are they still doing the farms and the walking and what about the bushmen people are they in this I'm not sure what you mean by farms and walking, but the Bushmen, like all native Africans and non White people in South Africa, were very much oppressed under the Apartheid syste. The only people who had full citizenship, rights and priveledges were White Europeans, (or people who loked like Europeans whose parents also looked European. Under this system, the population was divided into 3 basic categories, White, Black and Colored. Blacks were people of unmixed native African descent. Colored included people who were of mixed heritage as well as Indians and other Asians. The Colored population was further broken down into sub groups. The Cape Colored were people of Mixed European, African, and East Indians, Indonesians and other South East Asians who were brought to South Africa as slaves by the Dutch. Then there were the Colored, who were of White and Black mixture. Next were Asians which included East Indians, Chinese and other Asian ethnic groups. None of these people were given full citizenship rights. They were denied access to propper education, employment, housing, medical care, nor could they live in the same areas that Whites did.

However, when the Dutch originally settled in South Africa in the 1600's they did practice slavery. Slavery was not limited only to Africans. They brought many people from India and South East Asia such as Indonesia as slaves. The first Muslims in South Africa were slaves from Indonesia. I'm not sure when slavery was ended in South Africa, but I would imagine it would have been around the same time as it was abolished in the West Indies because I think that by that time the English were in control of the colony. So that would have been in the early 1830's.
