https://www.blackpast.org/wp-content/uploads/Sara_Baartman.jpgSaartjie (Sara) Baartman was one of the first black women known to be subjugated to human sexual trafficking. She was derisively named the “Hottentot Venus” by Europeans as her body would be publicly examined and exposed inhumanly throughout the duration of her young life. Moreover. her experience reinforced the already existing and extremely negative sexual fascination with African women bodies by the people of Europe. Sara Baartman was born in 1789 at the Gamtoos River, now known as the Eastern Cape in South Africa. Baartman and her family were members of the Gonaquasub group of the Khoikhoi. Baartman grew up on a colonial farm where she and her family most likely worked as servants. Her mother died when she was aged two and her father, who was a cattle driver, died when she was still a young girl. By her teenage years Baartman married a Khoikhoi man who was a drummer. They had a child together who died shortly after birth. When Baartman was sixteen, her husband was murdered by Dutch colonists. Soon after, she was sold into slavery to a trader named Pieter Willem Cezar, who took her to Cape Town where she became a domestic slave to his brother, Hendrik. On October 29, 1810, although she could not read, 21-year-old Baartman supposedly signed a contract with William Dunlop, a physician, who was a friend of the Cezar brothers. This contract required her to travel with the Cezar brothers and Dunlop to England and Ireland where she would work as a domestic servant since technically slavery had been abolished in Great Britain. Additionally, she would be exhibited for entertainment purposes. Baartman would receive a portion of earnings from her exhibitions and would be allowed to return to South Africa after five years. However, the contract was false on all details and her enslavement continued for the remainder of her life. Baartman was first exhibited in London in the Egyptian Hall at Piccadilly Circus on November 24, 1810. Her public treatment, however, quickly drew the attention of British abolitionists who charged Dunlop and the Cezars with holding Baartman against her will. The court ruled against Baartman after Pieter Cezar produced the contract that had been signed by Baartman. Baartman also testified that she was not being mistreated. The publicity generated by the court trial increased Baartman’s popularity as an exhibit. She was taken on tours throughout England and by 1812 as far away as Limerick, Ireland. In September 1814, after staying four years in Great Britain, Baartman was taken to France and sold to S. Reaux, an exhibitor who showcased animals. He put Baartman on public display in and around Paris, often at the Palais Royal. He also allowed her to be sexually abused by patrons willing to pay for her defilement. Reaux garnered considerable profit due to the public’s fascination with Baartman’s body. Sara Saartjie Baartman died in Paris on December 29, 1815 at the age of 26 for unknown reasons. Even after her death, many of her body parts would go on display at the Musée de l’Homme (Museum of Man), in Paris to support racist theories about people of African ancestry. Some of the body parts remained on display until 1974. In 1994 South African President Nelson Mandela formally requested that Baartman’s remains be returned to South Africa. On March 6, 2002, her remains were returned and buried at Hankey in the Eastern Cape Province. https://www.blackpast.org/global-african-history/baartman-sara-saartjie-1789-1815/

https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2023/05/22/21/71286159-12112491-image-a-22_1684788138138.jpgBuckingham Palace has refused to return the body of an Ethiopian prince who was buried at Windsor Castle in the 19th century. According to Mail Online, a descendant of Prince Alemayehu, an orphan who was adored and supported financially by Queen Victoria and died at the age of 18, has demanded that his remains be returned to Ethiopia. However, Buckingham Palace has maintained that removing the body would affect others buried in the catacombs of St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle. The Palace said that chapel authorities empathised with the need to honour Prince Alemayehu's memory, but added they also had 'the responsibility to preserve the dignity of the departed'. Prince Alemayehu was brought to England after his father, Emperor Tewodros II killed himself as British forces stormed his mountain-top palace in northern Ethiopia in 1868. The orphaned seven-year-old was adored by Queen Victoria and educated at Sandhurst military academy. But he tragically died at the age of 18 from pneumonia in 1879 and was buried in catacombs next to Windsor's St George's Chapel. https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2023/05/22/22/13384916-12112491-He_tragically_died_in_1879_aged_just_18-a-12_1684790031524.jpg In 2019, the Queen refused to allow the repatriation of his bones, but in the wake of a new book about his life, campaigners have renewed calls to return them. One of his descendants Fasil Minas told the BBC: ‘We want his remains back as a family and as Ethiopians because that is not the country he was born in’, and added ‘it was not right’ for him to be buried in the UK. But a Buckingham Palace spokesman said: ‘It is very unlikely it would be possible to exhume the remains without disturbing the resting place of a substantial number of others in the vicinity [in the catacombs of St George’s Chapel].’ The statement added that the palace also had a ‘responsibility to preserve the dignity of the departed’. Alamayu's father, King Tewodros II, known as 'Mad King Theodore', had wanted to be friends with the British and wrote a letter to Queen Victoria in 1855. After she failed to reply to that and a follow-up letter, Tewodros took the British consul and several missionaries hostage in a high mountain jail. https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2023/05/22/22/67013123-12112491-Prince_Alamayu_is_seen_posing_for_a_photograph_in_western_clothi-a-13_1684790214364.jpg An army of nearly 40,000 British troops were sent to rescue the 44 hostages. They lay siege in April 1868 to Tewodros' mountain fortress at Maqdala in northern Ethiopia and emerged victorious. As the successful mission neared its conclusion, Tewodros took his own life. Tewodros's wife, Alamayu's mother, died on her way down the mountain, leaving her son an orphan. The British also took thousands of cultural and religious artefacts including gold crowns and necklaces, alongside the prince. According to historian Andrew Heavens, this was done in order to keep them safe from the Tewodros' enemies, who had been close to Maqdala. Following his arrival in June 1868, he met the Queen at her holiday home on the Isle of Wight, off England's South Coast. She later wrote in her diary that he was 'a very pretty sight, a graceful boy with beautiful eyes and a nice nose and mouth, though the lips are slightly thick'. Alamayu was put under the guardianship of Captain Tristram Charles Sawyer Speedy, who had accompanied the prince from Ethiopia. Whilst the Queen had wanted him to remain on the Isle of Wight, he went first with Speedy to India before the Treasury ordered that he be properly educated. He was sent to Cheltenham and Rugby and then on to Sandhurst, but struggled with his studies. The prince caught pneumonia when he fell asleep outside one night. After refusing to eat, he passed away whilst living in Headingly, in Leeds. After learning of his death, Victoria wrote: 'It is too sad! All alone in a strange country, without a single person or relative belonging to him... His was no happy life, full of difficulties of every king.' Near his burial spot is a plaque bearing the inscription: 'I was a stranger and you took me in.' The Ethiopian government first demanded the return of Alamayu's remains in the 1990s. But Palace officials have previously insisted that they cannot recover them without disturbing those of others. Campaigner Alula Pankhurst, who sits on Ethiopia's cultural restitution committee, told The Times that the argument is just an 'excuse for not dealing with it.' 'Bringing this young man home means unearthing uncomfortable truths that people don't want to think about. In 2019, Ethiopia's ambassador to London, Fesseha Shawel Gebre, urged the Queen to consider how she would have felt if one of her relatives was buried in a foreign land. 'Would she happily lie in bed every day, go to sleep, having one of her Royal Family members buried somewhere, taken as prisoner of war?' he asked. 'I think she wouldn't. He insisted that the boy was 'stolen'. https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2023/5/buckingham-palace-refuses-to-return-remains-of-ethiopian-prince-who-is-buried-in-windsor-castle-grounds-2.html |

But despite the policy, the only thing I could boast of was me OPENING A PALMPAY & AN OPAY ACCOUNT WHICH IS STILL FUNCTIONAL TILL DATE. WHAT did you achieve? Did the policy achieve its aims? What are your recommendations?
