In South African history the colonisation of the Cape Colony since 1652 is considered the start of forced labour and slavery. The term marginalization derives from the word margin, which in turn is to be on the edge, at the limit and on the fringes [...] is related, conversely, to space and freedom, in terms of scope, franchise and self-determination; in the sense of being unlimited, unconditional [...] [...]to be marginalized is to be limited in scope, space, freedom of operation and the right to self-determination. In die World Book Encyclopedia (6) word die belang van naamgewing soos volg verklaar: \"All names have meanings, though people today may not be aware of those meanings, historical documents reveal that, early peoples gave someone a name with a definite knowledge of its meaning [...] people in India, Israel and some African nations still give names with special meanings.\" Class, Caste and Color: A Social and Economic History of the South African Western Cape.
