This article contributes to the sketchy history of Creole’ Mauritian immigrants in South Africa, most of whom settled in Natal between the mid‐nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It draws on archival sources to illustrate how various conscious and structural factors worked to foist an ethnic identity on them. It argues that this small immigrant group defied such labelling in their futile quest to be assimilated as ‘white’ settlers
