Statistics

East Africa to the Persian Gulf

Few figures are available on this aspect of the slave trade and they vary greatly.

Kelly quoting nineteenth-century sources, gives the figure of 8,000 to 15,000 slaves exported

annually from the East African littoral to the southern Arabian coast and the Persian Gulf.

R. M. Colomb gives the figure of 10,000 to 20,000 slaves exported from Zanzibar to the

Persian Gulf annually.

Mozambique
William Wilburn {Oriental Commerce, London, 1813, Vol. I, p. 60) mentions that the prin-
cipal trade of Mozambique is slaves, of which about 10,000 are annually exported at an
average of from $40 to $50 each.

Cape Town

In 1801, 'the population of Cape Town is estimated at 6,000 whites, inclusive of the mili-
tary, and 12,000 slaves' (William Wilburn, op. cit., p. 35).
