Queen Maxima and King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands arrived in South Africa for their first state visit back in mid-October.

And the royal duo looked happier than ever as they posed for photographs on a road blooming with blossom trees.

Maxima, 52, stunned in a colourblock dress by Zeus + Dione, which she previously wore during a three-day state visit to Greece in 2022.

The mother-of-three could be seen giggling as the couple were positioned in front of a magnificent backdrop of jacaranda trees.

Pretoria (South Africa's capital city) is widely known as the "Jacaranda City" due to its vast number of trees, which turn the landscape blue and purple when they flower in Spring.

The blossom trees, hailing from Brazil, also bloom every October.

President Cyril Ramaphosa hosted Their Majesties on the state visit, which was the second of a Dutch monarch since Queen Beatrix visited South Africa at the invitation of President Nelson Mandela in 1996.

Came to visit the Boers. The Boers (Afrikaners) own South Africa. When the Boers arrived the Cape of Good Hope in 1652, there were no blacks in South Africa. The Black's migrated from Zimbabwe and Botswana many years after the Boers arrived. The Boers are the landlord of South Africa


TMKSouth, you didnt see this ne??

Couple confronted by protesters in Cape Town

Angry protesters in Cape Town confronted the king and queen of the Netherlands on Friday as they visited a museum that traces part of their country’s 150-year involvement in slavery in South Africa.

King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima were leaving the Slave Lodge building in central Cape Town when a small group of protesters representing South Africa's First Nations groups -- the earliest inhabitants of the region around Cape Town -- surrounded the royal couple and shouted slogans about Dutch colonizers stealing land from their ancestors.

The king and queen were put into a car by security personnel and quickly driven away as some of the protesters, who were wearing traditional animal-skin dress, jostled with police.

The Dutch colonized the southwestern part of South Africa in 1652 through the Dutch East India trading company. They controlled the Dutch Cape Colony for more than 150 years before British occupation. Modern-day South Africa still reflects that complicated Dutch history, most notably in the Afrikaans language, which is derived from Dutch and is widely spoken as an official language of the country, including by First Nations descendants.

King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima made no speeches during their visit to the Slave Lodge but spent time walking through rooms where slaves were kept under Dutch colonial rule. The Slave Lodge was built in 1679, making it one of the oldest buildings in Cape Town. It was used to keep slaves -- men, women and children -- until 1811. Slavery in South Africa was abolished by the English colonizers in 1834.

Garth Erasmus, a First Nations representative who accompanied the king and queen on their walk through the Slave Lodge, said their visit should serve to “exorcise some ghosts.”

The Dutch East India Company established Cape Town as a settlement for trading ships to pick up supplies on their way to and from Asia. Slaves were brought to work at the colony from Asian and other African countries, but First Nations inhabitants of South Africa were also enslaved and forced off their land. Historians estimate there were nearly 40,000 slaves in the Cape Colony when slavery ended.

First Nations groups have often lobbied the South African government to recognize their historic oppression. They say their story has largely been forgotten in South Africa, which instead is often defined by the apartheid era of brutal forced racial segregation that was in place between 1948 and 1994.

Deep down I know it pisses white people off that some African countries are independent. See As the white woman they feel the weather, she is not happy at all.

When would the Black man stop blaming the whites for all it woes?

They have left your country but your countries have been in reverse gear as far as development is concern.

Black man take responsibility and Yeye Protest.

When will Israel stop wailing about the holocaust? It's getting a free $14 billion from the US to fight Hamas simply because its a white country. Did Nigeria get a free $14 billion to fight Boko Haram?

I thought you guys said you don't worship your white masters, that only Nigerians do.

What's this now?

Nigerians will now start attacking the op just because he posted something related to SA, only for them to later flip the script and act as victims.

Those who say we're always attacking Nigerians on this forum should come and see.
