History of South Africa - habilis, Homo erectus and Homo sapiens. Iron-using peoples moved south of the Limpopo River, into modern-day South Africa, by the 4th or 5th Century at the latest, and were agriculturists and herdsmen. They slowly moved south, and the earliest ironworks in modern-day Kwazulu-Natal are believed to date from around 1050 A.D. The furthest south they reached was the Fish River, in todays Eastern Cape Province. These Iron-Age populations displaced earlier hunter-gatherer peoples as they moved south. South Africa was inhabited by the Khoi, San, Xhosa, Zulu and various other native tribes, when the Dutch settlers arrived in 1652.

Drakensberg - northwesterly bend forming the northeastern border of Lesotho with South Africa. They are drained on the west by the Orange and Vaal rivers, and on the east and south by a number of smaller rivers, the Tugela being the largest. The range thus separates KwaZulu-Natal Province from Orange Free State, looming over the nearby coast of Natal. The highest peak is Thabana-Ntlenyana at 3,482 m (11,422 ft). Other notable peaks include eNjesuthi at 3,446 m, Makoaneng at 3,416 m, Champagne Castle at 3,375 m, Giant's Castle at 3,313 m, and Ben Macdhui at 3,002 m.

Demographics of South Africa - 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.

Asians in South Africa - Chinese community. They are descended from indentured labourers who were brought by the British in the 19th century, mostly to work in what is known as the province of KwaZulu-Natal. The province's largest city, Durban, has the largest Asian population in sub-Saharan Africa, and the Indian independence leader Mahatma Gandhi worked as a lawyer in the city in the 1920s. Most are either Hindu or Muslim, and many still speak Telugu and Gujarati, which have constitutional protection. The much smaller Chinese community is mostly descended from migrant workers who came to work in the gold mines around Johannesburg in the late 19th century, although many were repatriated. More recently, there have been immigrants from Taiwan, with which South Africa maintained diplomatic relations. This cause difficulties for the apartheid regime, as Chinese.

Bantustan - fraction into regions of black home-rule. Then they tried to bestow independence on these regions (the "homelands"), claiming that the other 87% was white territory. The black South Africans were divided (often incorrectly) into ethnic groups which were assigned certain homelands. The motivation for the establishment of these states was to take away the few rights that black South Africans had in South Africa, by making them nationals of the homelands. In the majority of these transfers of citizenship, the individuals assigned to homelands did not live in or originate from the small areas which the homelands encompassed. The first Bantustan that became operational was the Transkei under the leadership of Chief Kaiser Matanzima in the Cape Province for the Xhosa nation. Perhaps the best known one was KwaZulu for the.
