The San Bushmen who were hunter gatherers and the Khoi Khoi who were pastoralists were the first modern people to inhabit South Africa and have inhabited the region for millions and millions of years. These two tribes mixed and intermarried leading to the formation of the Khoisan. About 1050 years ago the Bantu speaking people also entered South Africa from the South and East and settled in present day KwaZulu- Natal Province around 500AD and most traditional Africans in South Africa are descendants of Bantu immigrations. The Bantu speaking groups lived in a modernized iron age and were usually concentrated in organized and peaceful villages. The Nguni group which includes the Zulu, Ndebele, Swazi and Xhosa settled along the Coast and are known to have adopted the click consonant from the early inhabitants of the Khoisan whereas the Sotho Swan people of Pedi, Basotho and Tswana inhabited Highveld and the North Eastern Region was inhabited by the Venda, Shangaan, Tsonga and Lemba. The Kruger National Park’s Thamuleka site is believed to have been inhabited in the 13th century and the Mapungubwe ruins can be traced back to the 12th century. “The colored” is a mixed race group comprising of slaves from East Africa, Madagascar, Indonesia and East Indies and from rest of Africa, some of the descendants of the Khoisan and the white colonialists.
