Vrijbriewen and Burgher StatusBarend Meyer became a burgher on 11 September 1748, in Dutch vryburgher or vrijburgher, initially a status in which a soldier or other employee of the VOC was released from their contractual obligations to the VOC and permitted to farm, become a tradesman, or work for others. Subsequently some individuals, including the Huguenot refugees, were brought to the Cape specifically to farm and were burghers from the time of their arrival (Cape Town), de Caep de Goede Hoop.4
