Anjouan is an island to the north-west of Madagascar. It is one of the Comoros Islands. The Company made regular voyages from Cape of Good Hope to Madagascar, Anjouan and the east coast of Africa to take slaves. These slaves were used as labourers in the Cape colony and Batavia. Anjouan was also employed as a staging post; it supplied VOC ships with fresh provisions. A literary source identifying this location as a VOC post has not yet been traced. The images of this location featured in this programme currently serve as source.
More info on Anjouan: It is an autonomous volcanic island in the Comoro Islands in the southwestern Indian Ocean, part of the Union of the Comoros. It is known in Shikomori as Ndzuani, Ndzuwani or Nzwani, and, until the early twentieth century when the name fell out of general use (although still sometimes used by English-speakers in Zanzibar), in English as Johanna. Historically it was also called Hinzuan or Hanzoan.
Its chief town is Mutsamudu and, as of 2006, its population is around 277,500. The total area of the island is 424 square kilometers (163 square miles). Source: Wikepedia.
