History and Culture

South Africa has a large History and Culture, for example, a tribe of farmers called the Bantus migrated from west Africa to central Africa and then to the South almost 2000 years ago. Much later after that, Europeans arrived in the 1700's and changed to landscape and the way people lived much before that. Now, lets move on to the culture. Overtime many people created a diverse culture in south Africa, infact the region culture reflects both African and European cultures. Not only that, but it is said that the people of Africa belong to hundreds of different ethnic groups. One of the mains points that stick in my head was when Southern Africa's government put up a policy of separation, of races, or apartheid, the country was divided into four groups called the whites, blacks, colored, and Asians, I thought it was just really racist, because some of the colored and Asians couldn't go in certain areas of Africa, and god knows what the condition would be for the blacks or whites.
