This beautiful, culturally and geographically diverse country is just emerging from years of skewed racial relations under apartheid. The international community has relaxed its sanctions, a popularly elected President is at the helm, and the whole country is agog with the promise of a better future. Top Geography South Africa is located, as one might expect, on the southern tip of Africa. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the west, the Indian Ocean on the south and east. Along its northern border, from west to east, lie Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe, and to the northeast are Mozambique and Swaziland. Wholly-enclosed by South Africa, and situated in its eastern central plain, is the independent kingdom of Lesotho.

Extractions: 20,000 years ago, the San began to roam the Kalahari Desert as Bushmen in small communities. They had no social classes, no rich or poor, no prescribed leaders of each tribe, and men and women were equal. Thousands of years in isolation thus caused them to develop a completely different culture as well as a language, full of clicks and consonants. Rock art depicting everyday life, hunting techniques, and religious rituals adorned many cave walls (Africa 176). Women gathered 80 percent of the foods (berries, edible plants, shellfish, and fish) and men hunted (wild game). Men also made clothing from various animal skins, formed wooden and stone tools and weapons, and created many different musical instruments (Library of Congress Country Studies Online). They lived in small social units with groups of families. They made general consensus decisions. Yet, they did not only interact with the peoples within their tribes; they traded, exchanged, and communicated with family links a long distance away (the coast). These were the rich beginnings of South Africa. As the Dutch came to South Africa, the Khoi lands and people became encroached upon. Frequent battles arose, and finally, when the Dutch brought small pox, 90 percent of the Khoi in the Cape died, and the rest moved away. Meanwhile, the Boers (European descent) and the San were in conflict as the Boers took over the San land. And, later on, they fought with the Xhosa, who in the end won the right to their lands (library of congress). Although slavery did not really affect the South Africans as much as other African settlements, the arrival of the Europeans deeply changed their lives forever.

Extractions: - pastoralism gave more control over food supply and somewhat more intensive exploitation allowed denser population and larger political/judicial systems; however, these systems often did not function continuously throughout the year. Annual migrations would bring people together for part of the year; then they would disperse to other grazing grounds for the remainder of the year. Thus, the degree of control and the level of cohesion were limited. - the Khoikhoi were vulnerable to loss of cattle because their way of life and livelihood depended on this; yet cattle were practically the only commodity which they could trade for European goods. As dependencies on these goods grew, loss of cattle left few economic choices except to become labourers for the white settlers.

Extractions: Welcome Unit Plan Other Resources Noticeboard ... Help Principal Themes Focal Questions Earliest History The earliest peoples to inhabit Southern Africa were the San (hunter-gatherers) (the so-called "Bushmen") and the Khoi-Khoi (pastoralists) (the so-called "Hottentots"). Both were relatively small populations because of the nature of their life styles. From further north came the Bantu (Nguni, Sotho-Tswana) in the 4th-5th centuries. Organised in patrilineal clans, they knew the use of iron, and had highly organised agricultural systems based on crops and cattle.

Extractions: IN SOUTH AFRICA The peoples of South Africa. Home Page When the first Europeans appeared in southern Africa there were already three groups of indigenous peoples, the Bushmen, the Hottentots and the Bantu. There is ample archeological evidence to prove that other, presently unknown, people preceded these groups. The Bushmen were small of stature and lived by hunting. They did not recognise any grouping bigger than a family. Their language was mainly made up of click sounds. Although there are clear traces of Bushman occupation down to the most southerly areas, by the fifteenth century they were displaced to the north by the Hottentots. The Bushmen, or San as they are now known, have largely died out and the largest number remaining live in the Namibian desert. The Hottentots were, like the Bushmen, a light brown people but more pastoral by nature. They grouped into tribes and kept cattle and sheep. As they occupied the coastal areas at the time all the early contacts with the Europeans were with the Koi, as they are now known. Except for two tribes, the Griquas and the Korannas, the Hottentots are now largely extinct. Their numbers were reduced by battle with the colonists and the other indigenous peoples, but the most important factor was Smallpox, a disease to which they had very little resistance. The word Bantu is a generic term used to describe the Black (Negroid) people of South Africa. Although there are a number of tribes it is again clear that they all came from the north and by the 17th century they had reached the eastern part of the southern coast, perhaps as far as the Fish River. The Bantu also kept large herds of cattle. The most westerly tribe is the Xhosa. Their language contains more clicks than any other Bantu language, evidencing longer contact with the Koi and the San.

http://kapama.krugerpark.co.za/africa_XHOSA_2.html

Extractions: The forests of the Eastern Cape were the natural retreats of the Xhosa people during the many Frontier Wars that raged in this area. Some of the fiercest clashes took place here and the forests were left full of memories and spirits from these mighty battles. This was also the place where the great chief of the Xhosa , Zandile, was wounded and died, hidden beneath a blanket of leaves. Historical evidence suggests that the Xhosa people have inhabited the Eastern Cape area from as long ago as 1593 and most probably even before that. Some archaeological evidence has been discovered that suggests that Xhosa-speaking people have lived in the area since the 7th century AD. By the mid 17th century, the Thembu tribe was settled around the Nbashi River with the original Xhosa tribe settled in the vicinity of the Kei River and beyond.

Extractions: NARRATIVE PROFILE Location : The Xhosa people are black Africans who are mostly known as cattle herders and live in beehive shaped huts in scattered homesteads ruled by chiefs. They live primarily in the Eastern Cape areas called Ciskei and Transkei. Xhosa are also found all over the Republic of South Africa in various occupations. History : The Xhosa were part of the gradual Bantu migration movement from southern Zaire in various directions to cover most of Africa south of the Sahara. They are descended from a clan of the Nguni. By 1600 the Xhosa people by that name were in the Eastern Cape and from 1705 there were periodic minor clashes with the sparse Boers (Dutch-Afrikaner farmers). As the number of Boers grew and they expanded further north and east from the Cape, clashes increased. As South Africa shifted politically between British and Dutch rule, clashes with the Xhosa grew in magnitude, as with the Zulu in the Natal area farther north. In British South Africa traditional areas of the Xhosa and other peoples were preserved as autonomous territories. These later became administrative districts of the Union of South Africa in 1910. The Union remained part of the British Empire and Commonwealth until after WW II.

Introduction A generally disturbing assumption is that education on the continent of Africa was brought by Europeans. Such thinking conforms with the doctrines of terra nullius (empty land) or terra incognito (land without minds, thus, people devoid of culture, history and a civilization). These doctrines in turn led to the myth of discovery of indigenous lands. Since the Middle Ages, Europeans had believed (as some still do) that some humans were so wild and uncouth that they wandered in the bushes and had no society of any kind. These creatures could on the one hand be classified as fauna and flora

Extractions: Settler Colonies And White Dominions: South Africa Made up mainly of people of Dutch and French Protestant descent, the Boer community differed from the British newcomers in almost every way possible. The Boers spoke a different language, and they lived mostly in isolated rural homesteads that had missed the scientific, industrial, and urban revolutions that had transformed British society and attitudes. Most critically, the Evangelical missionaries who entered South Africa under the protection of the new British overlords were deeply committed to eradicating slavery. They made no exception for the domestic pattern of enslavement that had developed in Boer homesteads and communities. By the 1830s missionary pressure and increasing British interference in their lives drove a handful of Boers to open, but futile, rebellion, and drove many of the remaining Boers to flee the Cape Colony. In the early 1850s the hard-liners among the Boers established two republics, the Orange Free State and the Transvaal, in the interior, which they sought to keep free of British influence. For over a decade they managed to keep the British out of their affairs. But when diamonds were discovered in the Orange Free State in 1867, British entrepreneurs, such as Cecil Rhodes, and prospectors began to move in, and tensions between Boers and British began to build anew. In 1880 and 1881, these tensions led to a brief war in which the Boers were victorious. The tide of British immigration into the republics, however, rose even higher after gold was discovered in the Transvaal in 1885.
