OK, let's say that Portuguese decided to form small replenishment station in area of OTL Cape Town, somewhere in say, 1520s.

So they build a small fort, settle few hunderts of soldiers with their families...

What's next?
 
I'm well versed on both African and Portuguese history, so after the last thread on more Portuguese colonies, I can begin a TL on a Portuguese Southern Africa. A sort of Draka-ish large colony.

I would be very happy to see such TL.
I love Portugal and history of Portugal, but I don't have enough knowledge ( not to mention that I don't know Portuguese language ) to really write a TL...

You really think that it would be Draka-ish?

Draka Lite, after studying the history of slavery in Brazil and Angola, it was pretty horrific, that doesn't mean that the other colonial powers didn't have the same practices.

That's the reason why I doubt that it will anything way worse than other colonial histories...
