This is a link about Slavery in South Africa (the country). It also mentions slavery that existed in Madagascar and Mauritius, and I'm certain some were exported elsewhere too.

Here is a link about The Indian Ocean slave trade, sometimes known as the East African slave trade.

And here is an article about the East African slave trade.

Inform yourself by reading the links to further knowledge in each please, and be advised that there is more information if you but search.

The link that you shared about South Africa, it doesn't say in South Africa there was slavery, it says there was forced child labour.

Slavery that we know in south africa is the one of Indians who whites brought to South Africa as slaves to work in sugar farms.

Hmm

That's like claiming there was no slavery in West Africa until they were taken elsewhere.

Black slaves were used in gold and diamond mines in southern Africa, and Indians were mostly paid labour adopted after the abolition of slavery when the slaves refused to work for pay because it was no different from when they worked for chains.

Mauritius is a case in point. After abolition of slavery, Chinese were brought over to work the sugar plantations, and after them Indians.

Below is a list of references.

Most slaves from East Africa were shipped from Arab countries. That's why you have blacks in the Arab world till date.

Read what the Belgian king did in Congo... East Africa

Western African slave where mostly sort after buy Europeans and Americans.

Spain mainly transported them to indices to work. And Americans to America. Slaves from east and north where mostly taken to North Africa and middle east.

North America picks alot of slaves from west Africa. They were willing buyers so also willing sellers. And i think God was aware of it and there might be reasons for all those years. People paid sacrifice for their generation.
