Abstract

[Cattle Herders Who Called Themselves KHOIKHOIN, “Men of Men,” were the indigenous inhabitants of the southwestern areas of present day South Africa. Based on oral tradition, the Khoikhoin believed that their ancestors traveled with their faces toward the setting sun until they reached the “great water,” and then travelled “southward down the Atlantic ocean …”1 Their language was characterized by clicks. They were nomads who relied on hunting, as well as trade, for their livelihood. By the mid-1600s they possessed beads, bracelets, and ivory, which they obtained from trading with the Portuguese. They also traded with the Ovambo of Angola. The Khoikhoin of Longkloof also traded with the Sotho.]
