The Cape is occupied again by the British after their victory in the Battle of Blaauwberg.
The terms of the capitulation had been reasonably favorable to the Batavian soldiers and citizens of the Cape.
Janssens and the Batavian officials and troops are sent back to the Netherlands in March.
The British forces will occupy the Cape until August 13, 1814, when the Netherlands cede the colony to Britain as a permanent possession.
It will remain a British colony until it is incorporated into the Union of South Africa on May 31, 1910.
