Didn't you say Madagascar has an inhospitable climate? My claim was that Madagascar could have rural settlement similar to South Africa. The weather in Antananarivo is similar to Cape Town, South Africa. Therefore, the objective of this thread could be fulfilled in Madagascar. Note, the population of Antananarivo is equal to the population of Auckland, New Zealand.What are you trying to communicate?
Therefore, Madagascar could be a secondary colony to Portugal in the 16th century, much like New Zealand was to Great Britain in the 19th century.
