QUESTION 1 Discuss the Southern African peoples, archived moments and
movement? [10
To discuss the Southern African peoples, archived moments, and movement, we need to explore
their historical and cultural background, significant events captured in archives, and the patterns
of migration and movement within the region.
Southern African Peoples
Southern Africa is home to diverse ethnic groups, including:
Bantu-speaking peoples (Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, Tswana, Shona, etc.), who migrated from
Central Africa.
Khoisan groups (San and Khoikhoi), the region's original inhabitants known for their
hunter-gatherer lifestyle.
European settlers, including the Dutch (Afrikaners) and British, who arrived in the 17th
century.
Indian and Asian communities, brought mainly as indentured laborers in the 19th
century.
Archived Moments
Key historical moments have been documented in various archives, including:
Colonial conquest and resistance – Wars such as the Anglo-Zulu War (1879) and
Anglo-Boer Wars (1880-1902).
Apartheid and Liberation Movements – Documents, speeches, and records from
figures like Nelson Mandela and Steve Biko, detailing the struggle against apartheid.
Independence Movements – Countries like Zimbabwe (1980), Namibia (1990), and
South Africa (1994) archived their paths to sovereignty.
Cultural and Oral Histories – Indigenous knowledge systems, music, and folklore
preserved in archives and museums.
