The story behind the her-tory of Krotoa or Eva. Tefo his Touri channel’s Catharina Magrietha Kruger, will tell you the story and South African Celeste’s art will bring it to life

Krotoa was born in 1643 as a member of the !Gorinhaikona people and the niece of Autshumao, a Khoi chieftain and trader. At the age of twelve, she was taken to work in the household of Jan van Riebeeck, the first governor of the Cape colony at first as a maid and later as main interpreter between the Dutch and the Khokhoi.

Without Krotoa and the information she provided, Jan van Riebeeck would never have been able to pass on such a rich wealth of information on the local indigene people to us as recorded in his journals and letters. This is a great legacy that makes Krotoa much more than an interpreter and diplomat. She was also a chronicle.

Krotoa’s life is bound up with the hidden story of the people and events on the banks of the Camissa River of the 1650s and 1660s. By looking at the life and times of Krotoa and her other indigene and slave contemporaries we are able to discover something of ourselves that has been lost in time. Like the Camissa River that still flows hidden beneath the City of Cape Town, so is it with the descendants of the Camissa people. Connecting with Krotoa is one of the keys to unlocking the heritage of many South Africans and rediscovering the strength symbolised by this great ancestor.

Linguistically Krotoa was a pioneer of the Afrikaans language. Xhore, Autshumao, Krotoa and Doman as interpreters were the earliest midwives in the birthing of the linguistic mixture that morphed into the Afrikaans language. They and the earliest slaves were the first to cross the borderline of suiwer-Nederlands (pure Dutch into the world of the patois Cape Dutch or the Creole Afrikaans.
Krotoa was the first indigene African to convert to Christianity in South Africa and she was the first indigene African to formally marry a European.
