Thread Name: British ballads in South Africa
Subject: RE: British ballads in South Africa
Interesting question!

The Hugenots and Dutch were the first white settlers of South Africa, but the British took over in 1795, gave it back for a few years, then took over again in 1806 (handy-dandy Wikipedia).
There should be old ballads of both groups there.
