Baster

The Basters (also known as Baasters, Rehobothers or Rehoboth Basters) are a group of mixed-race descendants of primarily Cape Colony Dutch and French, and indigenous African women. Since the second half of the 19th century, they have lived in central Namibia, in and around the town of Rehoboth. In ancestral history, they are similar to the groups classified as Coloured or Griqua people in South Africa.
