The descendants of either of the above Indigenous people are sometimes referred to as aborigines or as autochthonous , a Greek term that means "sprung from the earth," Greek authors of the classical period referred to the indigenous people of Greece, who had lived there since before any of the waves of Hellenic migration, as " Pelasgians please excuse our appearance: this article is being actively worked on. Your help is invited. Pelasgian was a name applied by ancient Greek writers to groups of people who preceded the Hellenes and dwelt in several Greek, Anatolian and Aegean locations as neighbors of the Hellenes. Pelasgians spoke a language different from the Greeks. "Pelasgian" has since come to be used indiscriminately by scholars to indicate all the autochthonous inhabitants of these lands before the arrival of the Greeks, and in recent times it is even being applied to the indigenous, pre-Indo-European peoples of the Caucasus and Asia Minor as well.

Fossil remains found in the Sterkfontein Caves near Johannesburg suggest that South Africa was the cradle of mankind. Palaeontologists at South African universities have presented conclusive evidence that Australopithecus Africanus, a bipedal hominid who roamed the plains of southern Africa millions of years ago, is a direct human ancestor. A window on an ancient world Scattered throughout South Africa are caves adorned with some of the world's oldest artworks, some dating back more than years. Depicting the physical and spiritual dimensions of stone age life, they were produced by the San people, part of a diverse group of aboriginal South Africans, known as the Khoisan, who inhabited the subcontinent long before the arrival of Bantu-speaking or European settlers.

The Cape was initially used by the Dutch East India Company as a refreshment station for its ships in the mid-17th century, but later became a permanent Dutch settlement. Besides opening up Southern Africa to the rest of the world, European settlement marked the beginning of a long history of conflict between the settlers and the indigenous people.

Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Demographics of South Africa Until 1991, South African law divided the population into four major racial categories: blacks (African), whites, coloreds, and Asians. Although this law has been abolished, many South Africans still view themselves and each other according to these categories. These categories are also retained for the purposes of affirmative action . Africans comprise about 78% of the population and are divided into a number of different ethnic groups. Whites comprise about 10% of the population. They are primarily descendants of Dutch, French, English, and German settlers who began arriving at the Cape in the late 17th century. Coloreds are mixed-race people primarily descending from the earliest settlers and the indigenous peoples. They comprise about 9% of the total population. Most Asians descend from Indian workers brought to South Africa in the mid-19th century to work on the sugar estates in Natal. The rest are descendents of Indian traders who moved to South Africa. They constitute about 3% of the population and are concentrated in the KwaZulu-Natal Province. Education is in a state of flux. Under the apartheid system schools were segregated, and the quantity and quality of education varied significantly across racial groups. Although the laws governing this segregation have been abolished, the long and arduous process of restructuring the country's educational system is just beginning. The challenge is to create a single nondiscriminatory, nonracial system that offers the same standards of education to all people.

Our company and my crew will share our experiences with you as we continue to explore the best the world has to offer. While exploring South Africa I was soon to learn that this land has more than its share of great-unspoiled beauty. The southern regions of this continent have bestowed countless and great adventures through out the centuries and now it all lay before us and by our fifth month of touring this phenomenal country I have came to truly believe that South Africa was indeed the birthplace of man and most surely of...nature itself! Thousands of the Zulu people still live in the rural areas as they have for countless centuries and the Pongola Game Reserve provides many employment opportunities. Working in these reserves allows the indigenous people to continue their connection to natures golden blessings. These tribal people of South Africa are surely...the keepers of nature’s spirit and in the heart of this beautiful reserve one lodge, in particular, is definitely the keeper of mans spirit...The Amakhosi Game Lodge.

During the 1800s and much of the 1900s, the glass factories of Murano, Venice, held the secret and the monopoly of seed bead manufacture. After the mid-1800s, these beads became increasingly available to southern African peoples through trade. At first, beads were the reserve of kings and chiefs. As aristocratic controls eased, supply increased, and cost fell, beadwork was embraced by all, resulting in extraordinary beadwork traditions in southern Africa. By the 1870s, Venetian factories could produce seed beads of almost regular diameter and width in hundreds of colors, shapes, and sizes. By the turn of the century they were experimenting with proto-plastics. This wide range was available to indigenous peoples worldwide, but Southern African peoples were particular about the colors and sizes they chose. Their tastes also changed rapidly and could bankrupt traders who didn't keep up with fashion. Today, these shifts in fashion help experts date beadwork. The Zulu and other Nguni peoples never carved masks or ancestor figures; instead, they venerated their ancestors through ceremonial events and gatherings. Beadwork became a vital ingredient in ceremonial and therefore religious life. Unfortunately, this is largely ignored in current conceptions of African Art. That beadwork is exclusively a women's art might be a contributing factor. Venetian export statistics show that southern Africa was the largest importer of beads from 1932 to 1955. Consumption exceeded the rest of Africa combined, and all of North America. This is an index of the significance of beadwork in South Africa.

Yes, the Ashanti of Ghana and South Africa's Zulu. And there are many parallels between the two kingdoms; instant name recognition, formidable reputations and both fought against British colonial rule. Both kingdoms are still a going concern and, by force of numbers and their cultural and linguistic dominance, the Zulu and the Ashanti loom large in Africa, sometimes to the annoyance and resentment of other groups. Traditional rulers are still here today because they serve as the custodians of our rich cultures and traditions. Vivian, Miami/Ghana Have your say Among the continental royals, South Africa's Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini and Ghana's Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, King of Ashanti, stand out. Both are powerful and are hugely respected within and outside their traditional spheres.

South Africa, with a population of 45 million, is a country of many people groupings and has been dubbed The Rainbow Nation with reference to its ethnic diversity. The indigenous peoples of modern South Africa established a variety of social and economic structures prior to the arrival of the first Europeans in 1652. Those of the Khoisan language group lived in either small hunting bands or in relatively small chiefdoms of less than 2,000 members. The Bantu-speaking people established a patrilineal political system with administration based on a royal family. In areas where water resources were scarce, their communities remained rather small, but where permanent water sources were bountiful, larger settlements emerged around them. Their economy was mixed with people domesticating cattle and engaging in agriculture.

The Ancient Knowledge Initiative (TAKI) Darryl Accone Preserving and promoting indigenous heritage To date, the Trust has raised R 12- million and has disbursed more than R 8-million since its inception in 1994. In addition, Nedbank and fellow founding partner, the Royal Netherlands Embassy, each donated R500 000 to the June 2003 funding cycle of ACT. The Trust, which celebrates its tenth anniversary this year, will in the course of that cycle distribute a total of R1.2 million to projects in 12 disciplines: literature, music, theatre, film and video, heritage, multi-disciplinary, dance, craft, Fine Art, community/Fine Art, community and arts administration. TAKI is dedicated to safeguarding the ancient cultural history, traditions, legends, dances, and ethno-botanical and artistic knowledge of South Africa's indigenous people. In that mission, it is perfectly aligned with the credo of ACT: "ACT is inspired to open the hearts and minds of all South Africans to nurture the rich diversity of arts, culture and heritage in South Africa by supporting creativity, fostering understanding and enhancing the quality of life all our people." Furthermore, TAKI creates jobs and promotes cultural diversity, awareness and understanding - all key focus areas for ACT, which emphasises the sustainable development and growth of the arts, culture and heritage.

The flight is overbooked and people are being upgraded to business class. My wife Kelly Crichton and I, the whites closest to the counter, are beckoned forward. Kelly goes up, realizes what is happening and, upset, declines the upgrade, saying there are others in front of her. A black woman at the counter, who is properly protesting the blatant discrimination, says to Kelly, “If there were more people like you in the world, these things wouldn’t happen.” The attendant pretends none of this is happening. Good-bye First World. Visiting Africa this past year was a harsh reminder to me of the way that the promise of globalization, of equal opportunities for all, has demonstrably failed so many of the world’s people. I’d been to Africa only once before, at a conference in Capetown the year before last; Kelly had been in and out several times as a journalist. This time we were starting in Ghana, then heading to South Africa again to do some touring, then to Tanzania, ending with an economic development conference in Kenya and a week at the National University of Rwanda, where Kelly was to meet with journalism students. It didn’t take long to realize how strange it was to be a tourist in a place that the inhabitants want to leave. (It was poignant to visit the old forts on the Cape Coast of Ghana and see the horrifying Door of No Return to the New World.) Over and over, we heard the same refrain, the longing to live in our world. A young black woman waiting on our table in southeast Ghana announced with fierce determination that she wanted only to marry a white man and go away with him. She looked sad and despairing. The newspaper quoted an unemployed black man in Harare with neither airfare nor a place to go: “If I had wings I wish I could fly out.”
