Hi fan yes yourll learned about him only and not about apartheid because America supported Apartheid and funded them due to the white supremacy idea. Up to this day we will never forget it.
Wrong! He is Mthembu apartheid tried to pin us under languages… we are Nguni people and we are one. What language one speaks is neither there or not… I can trace my roots to Swaziland 🇸🇿 but I speak isiXhosa. That doesn’t make me umXhosa. Thabo Mbeki is also umSwati…
@@tozamilefunani Thabo Mbeki is Xhosa don't mislead people...yes His ancestors might be from Swaziland,Mara along the way Xhosa people were formed...for example the are Xhosa people who have ancestors that are Sotho(oBhayi oMsuthu),they no longer belong to Sotho they have adapted to Xhosa cultures and traditions... even if you would go as far as speaking Sotho with them they would be lost Former president Mbeki is form Dutywa (Eastern Cape)he is 100 percent Xhosa... but I don't disagree with you if you are saying Thobo Mbeki is having Swati ancestors... but Xhosa people have one Language,mara you hear the way they speak their Xhosa if this one is Xhosa (Thembu)or Xhosa (Mpondo)etc
Hahahaha you are right Sisi. South Africa is the founder of diversity. I honestly cannot imagine not being a South African 🤣🤣🤣. Great video fam and I love the length 🥰
The narrator has left out a fact, the Sharpville peaceful march was led by Robert Sobukwe, leader of the PAC, Pan African Congress. The PAC and the ANC were banned at the same time. Sobukwe was jailed at Robbin Island long before Mandela.
And Basotho. My grandmother told me about us coming from the Cape and I never took her seriously until I overheard a total stranger talking about the history of my surname.
Mandela is a thembu, part of the xhosa tribe, he was a prince. You're right, when the (what we now call) the Xhosa tribe arrived from the north, they met the Khoi. We inter-married. Thats why a lot of us have thes features.
Nelson Mandela was probably in the US terror list because of his radical stance he took when he realized that a civil war was probably the only way to end Apartheid, this after hundreds to thousands of people were getting killed for protesting country wide. So the ANC created Mkhondo Wesizwe which was a military arm of the ANC and they went into exile to prepare these soldiers for war. So because of this Mandela made allies with the Soviet union and Cuba which were enemies of the US. This military arm of the ANC started bombing post offices and power stations to fight back against the government. All this is what probably contributed to him being on the US terrorist list, but what's crazy is that he was on the list until 2008. He visited the US in the 90s multiple times and the US build relations with SA, all while he was considered a terrorist by the US
The rainbow nation just recently got even stronger just a few days ago,I believe that it was on the 19th of July,the President just signed into law that SIGN LANGUAGE is now the 12th official language including 9 native ones like Xitsonga(mine),Tshivenda,Sepedi,Setswana,Sesotho,Isizulu,Isixhosa,Isiswati,Isindebele & the foreign ones which are English & Afrikaans.We're growing chief
45:15 Mandela most certainly has Khoisan DNA and he actually had a DNA test done which proves it. amaXhosa is not just one huge homogenous tribe but is made up of various tribal clans and below the reigning Xhosa king are layers of lower kings and tribal chiefs. Of the various Xhosa clans there are at least three clans in amaXhosa that are originally Khoi-San clans that amalgamated into amaXhosa. Mandela's father is from the Thembu Clan whoapparently has mostly Nguni DNA while the mitochondrial DNA (mtiDNA) Nelson Mandela inherited from his mother is largely L1 DNA of the Khoisan which implies that his mother is most likely descendent from one of the Khoisan clans that are within the Xhosa Nation. it is the Same mitochondrial DNA (mtiDNA) that most people who are classified as Coloured carry, and that includes me.
The three khoikhoi tribes you are referring too are only from recorded history, from around 1775 until later. But I think the assimilation would have began earlier than that with other Khoisan groups that assimilated into the Nguni cultures pre-colonial. So his mother could have also descended from earlier Khoisan groups. But I think a more detailed DNA analysis of the Xhosa people would really scope out their history with the Khoisan groups pre-colonial and give us a more clear picture. Khoisan DNA is found among other Bantu groups in South Africa, but its higher among the Xhosa and possibly the Tswana as well.
Yes@@makteko, definitely among our Tswana people. My family has a fair number of Tswana friends from the Northern Cape & North West living in Cape Town or who regularly visit here after having lived here (met mostly through a Campus Church at University of the Western Cape) and they affirm that they also share the belief that they are related to the Khoisan, but neither them nor I have yet found any difinitive DNA studies that proves it. Maybe there aren't any yet or maybe we haven't looked hard enough.
I really am proud of our people in south africa of how much we've grown. one example would be how power hungry the youth are to further our studies and become educated, my grandparents were illiterate yet they made sure our parents received an education even and our parents did the same by making sure we go to university. What I do feel bad for is my history as a south african indian, we've been here for almost 200 years and in that short amount of time we've lost touch with our culture and language and I feel like as indian south African our history is not spoken much of or even taught in school. We don't get recognized as much by foreigners and most of the time they assume we're from India and not actually south african which is far from true as most durban Indians speak and understand more than one language with isizulu being the most popular and yet we do not even know our mother tongue or where we came from...
@@TheDemouchetsREACT Thank you much appreciated, I recommend the video "Indian south Africans" by the UA-cam channel "African biographics" it was really informative.
46:01 rooibos tea .... lol we grew up on thaat tea. and i always found it funny when people would freal out at kids drinking tea. we used to have rooibos from our baby bottles .. it was only later that I got to understand that its more of a herbal tea than a tea . its amazing tastes awesome too o
Graça Machel was married to former President of Mozambique Samora Machel (1975-1986). He died in office in 1986 when his presidential aircraft crashed near the Mozambican-South African border.... it's believed he was killed by the apartheid government as he was a fierce opponent of the white racist government. Later, Graca married Nelson Mandela and thus became the first lady of SA as well. That's why they said she was the first lady of two countries at different times.
the bore war was called the anglo american war, which was later called South African War. this was based on that fact that the british bore war was also fought by black people on both parties since that time we black were not consider people enough is the reason why it was called the anglo boer war
Nelson Mandela was on the U.S terror list because the ANC was friends with Cuba and Russia during apartheid and both the leaders of those countries were considered enemies of the U.S and were also on the terror list...
59:59 Sixto’s story was almost heartbreaking…but it was heartwarming in the end. I introduced him to my Dad (he liked Bob Dylan…so l knew he’d like Sixto). That Sugarman doccie is a must watch.
Interestly in the Cape colony any one man could vote as long as he had property. Also i think its important to know in England basically only rich people could vote untill 1918 when all men and woman could vote.
9% for Coloured South Africans is right (that's about 5m ppl). There's a misunderstanding with them saying "Bantu ancestry" though. The majority Indigenous cultures are nations speaking Bantu languages, but historically many ppl from Khoe speaking nations were also incorporated into these nations. (And vice versa) Nguni royal families, like that Mandela were known to intermarry with Khoekhoe chiefly families. A famous Xhosa anti-colonial hero, Makhanda, had a Khoe mother and many Khoekhoe were absorbed into Xhosa, Sotho, Tswana etc. as European settlers expanded further and further into the interior. Many of the Khoekhoe and Bushmen who remained in the Cape Colony form part of the ancestry of Coloured people, especially the Griqua, but there's also the Nama community who still maintain the Khoe language in South Africa. Relatively few South Africans identify as Bushman/San (the Khomani ppl, for instance) but many other South Africans, whether Coloured, Zulu, Sotho etc. know and recognise they have Bushman/San ancestry too.
I love how this British narrator totally ignores the fact that the Zulus were the first people to defeat the British in battle...they were outnumbered 20 to 1... The battle of isaldwana. It was such an embarrassing moment in British history that they developed a weapon to kill off the natives. Burning fields ,salting the earth, killing women and children. You should definitely do a video on South African history. The Boers and Africans(all non white groups) may have a difficult and violent past and there is still some racial tensions amongst some to this day( we are actively working together on healing our wounds) but...our collective disdain for the British will always remain. It was absolutely ugly and shameful what they did...history is written by the victors. But we still know... It's only taught at a university level in South Africa because it's not something that kids should be exposed to...such is the violence. Peace and love family
Graca Machel was first married to Mozambican president Samora Machel. But he died in a plane crash. After that she married Madiba, or Nelson Mandela, after he divorced Winnie Mandela.
In DURBAN you can literately walk in from the shore and just scoop them up - and those people deep fried and cover it with spices - really nice experience i am from beautiful, breathtaking Cape Town - but i would travel there for work in winter and i enjoyed that
The 70% land ownership is wrong, it is based on old statistics. There has been land restitution since 1996. You go to different Province in rural areas, you will see how black people own massive land, especially under the traditional Authorities.
The Xhosa royal families married into Khoikhoi chiefly families because the Khoikhoi had been in the Eastern Cape first. To date, many Xhosa have Khoi features.
I rewatched this video just now. I am so triggered. Having reacted to the Sobukwe doccie, do you realize how he's been erased from South African history? He was prisoner number 1 at Robben Island and was isolated from the other prisoners, but Mandela and the ANC get all the credit.
When Mandela was release he admitted at tygerberg hospital he was lying in our personal ward..he was such a nice person..when we discharge he it was midnight through a secret tonnel..the media was waiting for him for 3 days outside after we discharge him..
South Africa is quite diverse in population, they are Bantu speaking groups, the Afrikaners, the Coloureds( a mixed race from Europeans, Africans and Khoisans) and even Asians( of Indian origin)
5:26 where he talks about settlers in the 1790s being called "Boers or Afrikaners", he's jumping the gun. White settlers only started identifying as Afrikaners (not Dutchmen) and claiming Afrikaans (not Dutch) as their language after the 1870s. At that time, the ame "Afrikaner" was actually being used by the Afrikaner line of Oude Ram Afrikaner, the first leader of the Oorlams Afrikaner clans of ppl including Khoekhoe and ex-slaves in the Colony.
Nelson Mandela was from the Xhosa Tribe, and there's a lot of history that was erased about those wars Xhosa tribes also fought wars and won them over and over for years.. It's quite interesting I think you should also look in to it. ❤️🙏🏽
So true... they don't teach us any of that in school because the frontier wars, as they are called, were a significant part of our history and I did history up until University and the silence is deafening.
The apartheid conversation is deep even to this day... The fact that it was institutionalised and made law where the rightful owners of the land did not have the power or voice to change their circumstance. Love that you mentioned teaching our children ourselves: no enslaver will ever tell the truth in a narrative that reflects the truth of the enslaved. Thanks for this!!!
The Bantu they speak about in the beginning of the video integrated with the Khoi and San. Xhosa's having lived closer to these groups have over 60% of their DNA. Hence Mandela might look that way. The Zulu have a bit less with over 50% of their DNA. All bantu tribes in SA have Khoi and San DNA at different degrees. They obviously don't teach us this at school, which is a shame. But thats another story.
SA has come so far and I am so proud of it all. We are building a beautiful country. It has only been 29 years so far. Wait till when have 50 or 100 year's. 😊
Mandela is Xhosa majority of Xhosa people have khoi blood because of the intermarriages between the two. For example me I'm khoi by blood my family assimilated to the Xhosa back in the 1800s and today I refer to myself as Xhosa and speak Xhosa even thou by blood I'm khoi. Most Xhosa today tend to be light in colour because of the intermarriages between khoi and the Xhosa.
Great video and great reaction. On the farming- I think, and this is just my opinion, so others can weigh in, the reason why so much of the farmland belongs to whites is partially explained by Apartheid, but also due to the fact that most of the white settlers that came to South Africa were in fact farmers. Many of their children became farmers too, and they built their own farms. Apartheid did its bit to keep the farmland in the hands of the whites, but many of these farmers do not want to do anything else but farm. In fact, the word 'Boer' is the Afrikaans word for farmer. So the white populace in the beginning were called Boers, because quite literally they were mostly farmers.
Nelson Mandela is a Tembu prince of the dlomo kingdom. His mother does have khoe ancestry. Today thembu people are put under the label of xhosa-nguni speaking people. Because the coloniser wanted to cause anarchy amongst us. He put is in concentration camps called bantustans then gave us the labels xhosa because of similarities to regional dialect but different tribes. Today we all identify as xhosa in the eastern cape and yes people from this region intermarried with khoe people so we do have their features.
Graca Mashel was married to the late President of Mozambique until 1986 when her husband died. She was late married to SA late President Nelson Mandela in 1998 (12 yeas later after the death of Samora Mashel).
Honestly here in south Africa Apartheid is not of that much sensitive topic because we let history be history and if you come to South Africa you'll notice it quick,because our parents are not holding grudges or nothing like that so why should we take it to like that Honestly. It's a rainbow nation after all and we live and strive together
Okay this one is abit uncomfortable I'll just say it uhm , When Mandela was released from prison he was kept in an medical institutions on purpose , and the man that owned the hospital was apart of the old government. They knew Mandela had the ear of the people and keeping him from them was a good way for them to control the outcome of the protests that were creating unrest for the white government. So Mandela had to compromise with the white government. When it was all over the British and the Afrikaaners were scared I guess that Mandela was going to go to war or whatever so they kept him the Terrors list for awhile.
If you guys want to learn about Shaka Zulu, there is more than enough info for you to do your own research. Zulu elders do dispute some of the history out there as false, so maybe it's best to find information from the Zulu people themselves.
The Penuel show episode 88 in conversation with Mbuso khoza. KONVO has a very educational conversation about Shaka Zulu. Really a great episode to review regarding a more in depth description of Shaka❤❤❤🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Death by Zwa Zulu Natal And on the eyes thing with Mandela, most Xhosa people have those eyes hey. I believe there was some mingling between the two groups (Xhosa & Khoi). Or check light skinned people eyes in SA e.g your trevor noahs etc

99 percent of South African do have Khoisan DNA what ever you called yes Mandela maybe 50% Khoisan my father he looked that way even our body shape and the language it’s got click it’s from Khoisan you Xhosa them Q C X we click your very intelligent to notice Mandela ❤
This man speaking in the video makes me uncomfortable and please sir why doesn't he say why South Africa has such a high HIV rate there are articles about this a white man who tested HIV on black people.
Yoh Carmen, thank you for touching on this🤦🏾♀️. I got lazy to type, the fact that there's an entire documentary about it makes it even more disturbing 🤦🏾♀️.
Graca Machelle was married to Samora Machelle who was the president of Mozambique and died in a plane crash in Nkomazi near the border between Mozambique and South Africa She then got married to Nelson Mandela and when he became president, she became our First Lady
Infact, even white women had to wait for their right to vote. President Hertzog promised white women that they would be allowed to vote, so they invented a cookie called a Hertzoggie to commemorate it. But then he denied them the vote, and they altered the cookie to have 2 colours and called them Tweegevrietjies instead which means "Two-faced"😂
Thembu is one of the 4/5 clans within the Xhosa ethnic group, located in the Cape region (Western Cape & Eastern Cape provinces) of South Africa. Xhosas are also mixed with Khoisan - in fact the clicks are from the primitive Khoisan language which us almost extinct. Khoisans are throughly mixed with Xhosas. Xhosa and Zulu languages are just dilects of each other, same language group.
Guys, in terms of further information on The Great Shaka Zulu, please fo watch the film on his life even yhere theres a kot missing however it will gove you a good idea about whi he was. I woll send yhe link so yiu get the right one. It's acted impeccably! 😊😊

Hoooooooh! I LOVE YOU GUYZ, i love the way you love us i wish that one day i can meet you, i am a South African Zulu girl,🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
South Africa is quite diverse in population, they are Bantu speaking groups, the Afrikaners, the Coloureds( a mixed race from Europeans, Africans and Khoisans) and even Asians( of Indian origin)
5:26 where he talks about settlers in the 1790s being called "Boers or Afrikaners", he's jumping the gun. White settlers only started identifying as Afrikaners (not Dutchmen) and claiming Afrikaans (not Dutch) as their language after the 1870s. At that time, the ame "Afrikaner" was actually being used by the Afrikaner line of Oude Ram Afrikaner, the first leader of the Oorlams Afrikaner clans of ppl including Khoekhoe and ex-slaves in the Colony.
By the way the word "Bantu" means Human beings
Walvis Bay is literally like a baby cape town. Like walvis bay is the toddler that grows into cape town
Nelson Mandela was from the Xhosa Tribe, and there's a lot of history that was erased about those wars Xhosa tribes also fought wars and won them over and over for years.. It's quite interesting I think you should also look in to it. ❤️🙏🏽
So true... they don't teach us any of that in school because the frontier wars, as they are called, were a significant part of our history and I did history up until University and the silence is deafening.
Coloured people were allowed to be part of parliament during apartheid
Went to Rod Rigaz concert there he was massive in 90s there .
The apartheid conversation is deep even to this day... The fact that it was institutionalised and made law where the rightful owners of the land did not have the power or voice to change their circumstance. Love that you mentioned teaching our children ourselves: no enslaver will ever tell the truth in a narrative that reflects the truth of the enslaved. Thanks for this!!!
The Bantu they speak about in the beginning of the video integrated with the Khoi and San. Xhosa's having lived closer to these groups have over 60% of their DNA. Hence Mandela might look that way.
The Zulu have a bit less with over 50% of their DNA. All bantu tribes in SA have Khoi and San DNA at different degrees. They obviously don't teach us this at school, which is a shame. But thats another story.
100%
True
Crazy for me that nobody can see that Table mountain is a tree.
SA has come so far and I am so proud of it all. We are building a beautiful country. It has only been 29 years so far. Wait till when have 50 or 100 year's. 😊
There’s like 10 hour movie on Shaka zulu but it’s super old but accurate
Not accurate at all
What a long reaction geez😩 😅Thank You!!!!🥰 you guys are awsome💯❤
You asked for it.😅
Cool intro by you two
Mandela is Xhosa majority of Xhosa people have khoi blood because of the intermarriages between the two. For example me I'm khoi by blood my family assimilated to the Xhosa back in the 1800s and today I refer to myself as Xhosa and speak Xhosa even thou by blood I'm khoi. Most Xhosa today tend to be light in colour because of the intermarriages between khoi and the Xhosa.
I've found this quite informative even as a South African myself
Great video and great reaction. On the farming- I think, and this is just my opinion, so others can weigh in, the reason why so much of the farmland belongs to whites is partially explained by Apartheid, but also due to the fact that most of the white settlers that came to South Africa were in fact farmers. Many of their children became farmers too, and they built their own farms. Apartheid did its bit to keep the farmland in the hands of the whites, but many of these farmers do not want to do anything else but farm. In fact, the word 'Boer' is the Afrikaans word for farmer. So the white populace in the beginning were called Boers, because quite literally they were mostly farmers.
Nelson Mandela is a Tembu prince of the dlomo kingdom. His mother does have khoe ancestry. Today thembu people are put under the label of xhosa-nguni speaking people. Because the coloniser wanted to cause anarchy amongst us. He put is in concentration camps called bantustans then gave us the labels xhosa because of similarities to regional dialect but different tribes. Today we all identify as xhosa in the eastern cape and yes people from this region intermarried with khoe people so we do have their features.
yeah the coloured population isnt that huge in comparison . butthere are areas whereits more concentrated like cape town for example
Koi San was displaced by Colonialists.. Koi SAns n Bantu lived side by side ... Xhosa n Tswana people are also a mix of Koi n San
Graca Mashel was married to the late President of Mozambique until 1986 when her husband died. She was late married to SA late President Nelson Mandela in 1998 (12 yeas later after the death of Samora Mashel).
Dr Death is still a practising doctor in South Africa
Nelson Mandela was on the watch list because he killed 400+ people with a bomb that's the reason he went to jail
The Bantu didn't get rid of the Khoi & San tribes
Honestly here in south Africa Apartheid is not of that much sensitive topic because we let history be history and if you come to South Africa you'll notice it quick,because our parents are not holding grudges or nothing like that so why should we take it to like that Honestly. It's a rainbow nation after all and we live and strive together
That's why bahlupheka iningi don't you think🤔
Okay this one is abit uncomfortable I'll just say it uhm , When Mandela was released from prison he was kept in an medical institutions on purpose , and the man that owned the hospital was apart of the old government. They knew Mandela had the ear of the people and keeping him from them was a good way for them to control the outcome of the protests that were creating unrest for the white government. So Mandela had to compromise with the white government. When it was all over the British and the Afrikaaners were scared I guess that Mandela was going to go to war or whatever so they kept him the Terrors list for awhile.
If you guys want to learn about Shaka Zulu, there is more than enough info for you to do your own research. Zulu elders do dispute some of the history out there as false, so maybe it's best to find information from the Zulu people themselves.
deliberately leaving the part that in the battle of uLundi, british were defeat with their guns against spears🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Penuel show episode 88 in conversation with Mbuso khoza. KONVO has a very educational conversation about Shaka Zulu. Really a great episode to review regarding a more in depth description of Shaka❤❤❤🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
In Kenya, 🇰🇪 in the colony era, they used a similar passcard as form of identification and to determine where a person could go to
Thembus are Xhosas and fist cousins of the Khoi and San - Khoisan.
Death by Zwa Zulu Natal
And on the eyes thing with Mandela, most Xhosa people have those eyes hey. I believe there was some mingling between the two groups (Xhosa & Khoi). Or check light skinned people eyes in SA e.g your trevor noahs etc
We Xhosa did mix with the San or Koisan people, hence the our features.
She was the widow of the Mozambique president , then got married again to Mandela and became a first lady again of a different country.
Hi my beautiful family, i love watching your videos and I would like to meet you some day in South Africa
Hello from South Africa. Nelson Mandela was a member of the Madiba tribe (thus his nickname). The Madiba tribe is from the Xhosa nation
Omg one hour, am so happy, i dont know what to do with myself. ☺
❤️❤️ We didn’t know if you all would like the hour video.
Lol.. It's Funny How easy it is for us to Pronounce any name in the world...but The world can't really pronounce our names 🇿🇦Mp 📍
Oooohhh my!!! We super long form today 😄👌🏾🙏🏾
Ubuntu in Nguni languages like Zulu and Xosa, and Botho in Tswana/sotho languages, meaning Humanism or humanity/reapect/love to others. With ❤ from Botswana 🇧🇼 Africa
Thembu(Abathembu) is a tribe in the Eastern Cape. Eastern Cape has more than 1 tribe, but we all speak one language IsiXhosa. There's too much history in the Eastern Cape, so please do some research you'll really find it interesting ✌
One thing people forget about apartheid is that even white people got fines for interacting with other races.
The white nation is a farming nation, thy take pride in building.
Don't confuse the Boers with the British coloniser
I agree with you, shaka zulu,s history is vanishing because its not talked about
Mandelas long walk to freedom, is a movie starring Idris Alba.
It's actually good
Over here anyone and everyone is welcome ❤and treated well , it would be nice if we received the same treatment ❤from the world
Most of the Xhosa people, where Nelson Mandela is from, also intermixed with the Khoisan, hence possess those features
Graca Machel was the widow of Samora Machel. She married Madiba after.
Nelson Mandela was Xhosa, the geographical area where the Xhosa people reside was Khoisan area, "His Eyes"
99 percent of South African do have Khoisan
DNA what ever you called yes Mandela maybe 50% Khoisan my father he looked that way even our body shape and the language it’s got click it’s from Khoisan you Xhosa them Q C X we click your very intelligent to notice Mandela ❤
This man speaking in the video makes me uncomfortable and please sir why doesn't he say why South Africa has such a high HIV rate there are articles about this a white man who tested HIV on black people.
That's what happened when a White man tell our history 🥹
Yoh Carmen, thank you for touching on this🤦🏾♀️. I got lazy to type, the fact that there's an entire documentary about it makes it even more disturbing 🤦🏾♀️.
Woah! Going research this.
Graca Machelle was married to Samora Machelle who was the president of Mozambique and died in a plane crash in Nkomazi near the border between Mozambique and South Africa
She then got married to Nelson Mandela and when he became president, she became our First Lady
We were only able to vote from 1994.
Infact, even white women had to wait for their right to vote. President Hertzog promised white women that they would be allowed to vote, so they invented a cookie called a Hertzoggie to commemorate it. But then he denied them the vote, and they altered the cookie to have 2 colours and called them Tweegevrietjies instead which means "Two-faced"😂
wooow! I like that attitude lol
1:00:47 it's "Ubuntu" ❤🇿🇦
Mthembu is his culture Name frm Royal family, Another name of Mandela is Madiba,nd Rolihlahla Nelson Mandela, ❤❤
Yes our genes and languages are mixed . But as you know mixed ethnic groups tend to consider themselves superior than everyone else . Lol.
Thembu is one of the 4/5 clans within the Xhosa ethnic group, located in the Cape region (Western Cape & Eastern Cape provinces) of South Africa. Xhosas are also mixed with Khoisan - in fact the clicks are from the primitive Khoisan language which us almost extinct. Khoisans are throughly mixed with Xhosas. Xhosa and Zulu languages are just dilects of each other, same language group.
But why use colonial terms and called the Khoisan languages, primitive? Their language was fully developed.
Let's avoid using words like "primitive" cause they certainly didn't believe that about their language.
