Second Dominion
The Second Dominion unfolded during a period of conflict and transition in the Cape. The Battle of Muizenberg in 1795 marked a turning point in the region’s governance and influence, ushering in a new political era.
Through changing authority and the tensions that followed, agriculture and wine production continued to adapt. By the time of the First Boer War in 1881, the Cape’s vineyards had endured decades of uncertainty while steadily maintaining their presence in the region.
