In this series I talk to South African individuals that love their culture, about what their culture means to them, their culture's myths, symbols, core values and heroes, the importance of their language, and the state of their culture in the 21st century. On this episode I discuss South African Portuguese culture with Quentin Ferreira.
The Portuguese explored the coasts of South Africa in the late 15th century, and nominally claimed them as their own with the erecting of padrões (large stone cross inscribed with the coat of arms of Portugal placed there as part of a land claim). Bartolomeu Dias did so in 1486, and Vasco da Gama recorded a sighting of the Cape of Good Hope in 1497, en route to India.
The largest single event of Portuguese settlement occurred when the former Portuguese colonies became independent in 1975. Most of them went to Portugal and Brazil, but a significant number of refugees from Angola and Mozambique made their way to South Africa. Their arrival made South Africa the home of the largest Portuguese African population, increasing it from about 49,000 to 300,000.
The South Africans Portuguese community pride themselves on their work ethic and business acumen, and in 2014 the community set up their own chamber of commerce with the aim of making it easier to start & run small businesses: https://youtu.be/QTQn1BKsZD4
