Sugar was produced

Sugar was produced in the following way: The ground had to be dug, hoed, weeded, planted and then fertilised with manure, all under the hot , tropical KZN sun. Slave gangs consisting of men, women and children worked under overseers. They were whipped for not working hard enough. Enslaved people worked from dawn until dusk.
