CHAPTER 4: NATIONAL
HISTORY, SOVEREGNTY
AND GOVERNANCE

THE SAN AND THE KHOI KHOI

THE EARLY PEOPLE OF CENTRAL AND

SOUTHERN AFRICA
THE SAN

The San were thefirst known inhabitants of Central and Southern Africa. They were
hunter-gathers living in highly mobilised groups between 20-50 people either
following game around the country or living in close rhythm with the land and its
seasons or maintaining a more settled life depending on seals, shellfish, crayfish,
birds and fruits for food.The Sans have left a lasting record of their lives through a
thousand paintings. These hunter-gatherers have still survivedbut in small numbers
in the Kalahari desert. Their physical appearance is small structure,
in brown in
colour and they have unique click languages. The San were Stone Age people so
they did not use metals so their weapons were made of wood, stone and bones.
They did not domesticate animals and cultivate crops. No pottery was made instead
they used ostrich egg shells for storing and holding liquids. The San were nomads
as they were always on the move in search of game and plant food so they did not
build permanent shelter, they preferred rock shelter for temporary shelter. A chief
controlled their resources on behalf of the group back in the day before the arrival of
shelter. A number of fish bones were found in caves and this indicates that they
were accomplishedfishermen. Slivers of bones and wood sharpened at each end
were used to hookfish which were also caught by means of tidal trap made from
walls constructed by river Sanda.

Social and cultural life

The San had no sense of ownership.

Disputes were solved by a group known as a consensus.
The status of women was relatively equal.
The San of both sex wore many ornaments made of seed, berries, shell and
small pieces stuck together as necklaces and bracelets they used ostrich and
tortoise shells to carry and store water.
Movement to different campsites was organised by a group.
Their lifestyle was primitive communism.
The San men were responsible for hunting andfishing, they went on long
hunting trips and they would gather Hordia Gordidni and chew the bitter
miracle plant tosuppress their appetite.

Page 43
 The women did most of the gathering of plants and that included wild fruit
and berries as well as leaves, stems bulbs, corms, and root of a variety of
plants.
They were very good hunters that knew the ways of the animals they hunted.
The San had to devise many different hunting traps in the form of parts
covered by leaves which was another way of trapping the animals.
Another way was extracting poison which was then used to hunt.
The meat was cooked fresh or smoked and dried for later use, only small
quantities were preserved this way because it had to be carried when the
group moved to the next place.
Clothing was light for easy movement, men wore line skirts with a short skin
in front tied on the waist, and they also used skin cloaks and blankets to keep
themselves warm especially in temperate climates.
Leather work was common and leather was made into Ned bag for carrying
food, string bags were woven from great fibre.

Rock paintings

They painted on rocks and in cave walls and engraved on eggshells. These rock
paintings have given us a lot on their life style. These rock paintings show that the
San were tuned to their environment.

San beliefs

They paid tribute to the chief.

They believed in God.
The eland was considered the most spiritual animal.
The taught their children through oral tradition.

THE KHOI KHOI

The other early inhabitants of Central and Southern Africa were the Khoisan herders
or Khoi Khoi. The early Europeans called these people the “Hottentots” meaning
stammers. The exactorigin of these people is still being debated by historians. The
old theory was the Khoi Khoi migrated from East Africa with their livestock and
settled in Southern Africa but recent historical evidence has shown it is not true. It is
being argued that the Khoi Khoi were among the original inhabitants of the area. It
is also known that some of the San people adapted to the changes in their
environment and began to domesticate animals probably about 2000 years ago. The
Khoi Khoi was originated from pastoral culture and language was found. The exact
COMPILED BY MR MUTANGA, CELL:0773489730,EMAIL:[email protected] [Type text]
Page 44
place of origin of these people is still debated and some say they originated from
the northern place of Bulawayo and migrated to East Africa with their livestock in
Southern Africa. However, recent evidence argues that they were among the original
inhabitants. It is also known that some of the san adopted change in the
environment and began to domesticate animals.

Economic system

Major economic system was based on lifestyle and production.

They raised long horned cattle and fat tailed sheep and goats; cattle were a
symbol of wealth and prestige. Their way of life was organised around their
livestock therefor they moved from place to place during different seasons in
search of pasture and water for the animals.
Animals were kept for meat, milk and blood.
Husbandry of sheep, goats and cattle provided a stable balanced diet and
allowed the related Khoi Khoi people to live in large groups than the previous
inhabitants.
As time went on Khoisan began to grow crops and a variety of other plants.
Like the San both sexes were involved in the economic activities.
Apart from herding animals men sometimes hunted wild animals for meat
and skin for clothing.
Women milked cows and goats, gathered roots and berries and also made
pottery.
The Khoi Khoi industry was more developed than that of the San.
Their technology included carvings of shallow dishes, bone ivory and
smelting and smiting of iron.
Trading of some of these times was developed with traders from the Far East
who often came to the south of the east coast of Africa.
They also extracted salt from the salt mineral springs through evaporation in
soapstone dishes.

Political and Social organisation

The village settlement was relatively large often well over hunted persons.
They did not live in caves because of their large numbers.
They built dome shaped huts from young branches.
They covered them with mats from reeds and sometimes with animal skins.
Huts were arranged in a circle and domestic animals were often kraaled
overnight within the circle.
Each village consisted of member of the same clan and a group of male

COMPILED BY MR MUTANGA, CELL:0773489730,EMAIL:[email protected] [Type text]

Page 45
 descendants of a particular ancestor with their wives and children.
The young people were initiated at adulthood at about 18 years and marriage
could take place after the ceremony.
The groom paid lobola in the form of an ox for the wedding feast.
After the marriage a hut was built for the couple near the bride’s mother’s hut.
Unlike the San the Khoisan community had more organised system of
authority.
Each village had a headman, it was a hereditary position passed to the eldest
son of the founding ancestor for every generation.
Headman made decisions such as when and where to move.
They also acted as mediators or judges in criminal and civil disputes.
Senior people had more privileges than the juniors e.g. they lived in houses to
the right of the elder whilst juniors lived to the left side.
Each family had their own hut; however, children who were older lived with
their age group.
The Khoisanwerepolygamous (more than one wife).
Several villages were united into a larger unit called a tribe.
Tribes had a kinship base and were made up of a number of linked clans with
a Seniority of one of the clans being recognised.
The head of the senior clan was recognised as the chief of the tribe.
The extant of the tribal land was not fined
de by exact boundaries but
reference to land Tokay water hole.
Tribal chiefs controlled outside access to their resources.

Religious beliefs

The Khoisan believed in a supreme being.

They believed in spirits of natural forces especially water and rain.
They gave special signi
ficance to the moon which they viewed as a physical
magnification of the Supreme Being associated with heaven.
The time of a new and full moon was a special occasion for dancing.

-Britain and Boers-competed for control of the diamond wealth in Kimberly. This led

preserve the missionary road and thwart [stop] Boer expansion westwards. Boers
had declared two republics of Stella land and Goshen.
-The Second Anglo-Boer war was part of the struggle to control the gold wealth at
