jln115:
- the population of South Africa in 1910 was a mere 5 million.....back it up another 300 years then you'll understand what I meant by sparsely populated.
-The Mfecane happened before the Zulus came in to contact with White colonist, so there goes your "simply observed your bad behavior" argument.
- The Boere did not arrive in SA, the Boere are a people that developed within SA from 1835.....before that there was no Boer nation..... The Dutch however had a very large slave trade and brought with them a number of slaves.
- Slavery was also common for the Imbangala of Angola and the Nyamwezi of Tanzania...... So again your argument there was no slavery, "all the way north to E.A" is also busted.
- "through minor skirmishes to establish dominance (Zulu and co)" you call over 1 million people dead a minor skirmish?
- "your people were inherently and genetically incapable of sharing lebensraum with anybody else not of their race" its funny you say that because just earlier today rvp was stating how Kenyans kicked out the Indians and Whites like Zim did..... Just a tad hypocritical you think?
-"Indigenous SAns had before then not ever dreamt of exterminating an entire group of people, however weak, to create living SPACE" Mfecane ![wink](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/wink.png) Wrong as usual. One of the causes of mfecane was the introduction of maize which led to population explosion. The maize came from Portuguese. The Mfecane took place in the 1800s. Whitey had been in southy since the 1600s. There goes your first two points... In fact, as Shaka was expanding his empire, the likes of Xhosa were caught btw the Vootrekkers and the Brits advancing north. Third point, the same way Zulu were known as Ndwandwe before King Shaka. That does not mean they are not the same people. The Cape Dutch were the proto-Boers so my usage was in hindsight. More like Afrikaner and Boer in the year 2500 (dont ask me how I know, i just know by then the name Boer will be out of common usage). Prove that it was homegrown slavery. The Nyamwezi had no slaves before Arabs came. Same with the Imbangala who only began slave trade when the Portuguese arrived. I told you the concept of slavery is alien to Africans. Same with genocide. Not hypocritical at all. RVp said Indians were barred from owning businesses upcountry, not kicked out. In fact many Indians who were kicked out of Uganda came to Kenya. Nobody was kicked out, including the whites. An Africanization policy simply came into effect, without the kind of murderous rampage of your ancestors ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) You cant cite mfecane for two things. It happened long after the landing of whites - the whole bone of contention. Mfecane was actually connected to the fateful landing, as an alibi for colonial-sponsored violence. The narrative of mfecane itself was weaved by European missionaries (effectively spies) sent to scout for land. Mfecane 101 for jln115:An upsurge in the coastal slave trade from Port Natal to Inhambane from the beginning of the nineteenth century caused Africans to turn to larger states for defence at the very time when demands for labour on the Eastern frontier of the Cape Colony were stimulating destructive raiding by bands of armed horsemen (Griqua and Kora) and state-sponsored warfare against the Xhosa chiefs. Europeans implicated in these activities tried to cover up their involvement by asserting that Africans were the sole instigators of violence. Later historians perpetuated the original cover-up through their invention of the mfecane. You should have realized by now that there is ZERO evidence of jawdropping violence among native Africans prior to your ancestors arrival ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) 1 Like |

The operation codenamed “Operation Wrath of Bomo,” came after terrorists dealt the heaviest blow to the Chadian military after an assault killed over 90 soldiers.
“We launched the “Wrath of Bomo” operation. We must defeat terrorism to allow our people and especially those of Lake Chad to live in peace. This is the whole meaning of the fight that our valiant soldiers are waging against Boko Haram,” Deby said in a tweet two Sundays ago.
You think a resource limited country like Chad will be running a military operation in Nigeria if it wasn't for their own benefit?? Whose side are you on Daniela?

Lionessza6:
LMFAO, Tayser the apologists and defenders are coming for you, take cover before you are accused of promoting " victim mentality amongst us grant takers " by stating the obvious .
What I like about your post is that you didn't paint Africa as some paradise before the colonisers arrived here ,but it will be conveniently twisted to give the impression that you did,I know them well .
Whenever they bring up the " wars" between African groups,notice how all these wars happened after they arrived here as you mentioned ? . I said to someone a few days back that if they believe the " imfecane "( I wonder what language this came from ) happened as being depicted in Boer history books,then they should endorse the up and coming books on " xenophobic " attacks , black SA waking up one day from their township box houses to pick on hardworking immigrants .its coming ,and it will be recorded as such,their media houses have started already .
They claim there were wars between the khoi and the what became known as " xhosa" people . What baffles me with this story is; how did these murderers end up sounding the way they do? how did they end up looking the way they do? Why do they have cultural practices similar to their victims? Why are some of their clan names and villages khoi? . LMFAO ,the name of the Amaxhosa king was Hintsa,and that name is not bantu but khoi . The name Xhosa is not bantu either incase you didn't know . And after all the hugging and togetherness post 94 the English still refused to talk to their mother to give us back Hintsa's skull . Maybe I don't understand how wars work,somebody please teach me or atleast recommend a "great book" that will open my eyes about this issue.
I like that you have also outlined that there were weaker groups that got used by the Europeans to settle scores with fellow Africans, that has never stopped. A good example is a dude called Vusi mymoney, a weakling who failed to go head to head with other young men for the ANC youth league president post in gauteng . He then out of anger(at himself) accepted a post from the DA,given to him without any contestation ,typical of that kind . This boy was then groomed with the intention to make us believe that we are one and equal ,by us I mean black young people.he was even dashed a white girl . He was used to insult and accuse other black people of all sorts of filth without any evidence ,just sentiments. Remember he had a score to settle with the Anc ,and he failed in every which way. Black people still see the DA for what it is ,very few demented ones actually believd that Vusi was the actual leader of the DA,people with chronic self hate issues .btw,I don't think people who don't like certain black figures ,characters or behaviour are self haters,because I will be accused of that as I was before. That is a different issue altogether. Still on the Maimane type,his counterpart,you know I don't like him either...juju . No matter can be said about him ,he did not take the easy way out,as a typical house nigga would normally do. I can atleast respect him for that. Maimane, like the rest in the past and the present was shown the middle finger after the whitties had no more use for his services ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png)
Isn't it funny that people who don't know how many people they killed during the time they arrived in Africa, and during apartheid conveniently know the exact numbers of people killed in the Rwanda genocide ,imfecane and in uganda? . "They were never involved " in these " wars" but know all the gory details ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) The apartheid that is their baby has no records,only figures made up as we go . Deklerk recently came up and told us we were lucky because they didn't commit a complete genocide on us ,talk about a blast from the past . Look up that clip on YouTube. As usual black on black violence popped up more than the systematic murders he orchestrated .
Talking about land skirmishes,in the village I live in now ,there are two clans that are on each others throat over some land and for months it got bloody and knives were drawn. But it was settled in our traditional court in Bhisho. So we were not always living peacefully with each other without any fights ,even today we are at each other's throats at times ,and even if the colonisers left we will still have incidents like that but that is and will never be any justification for European colonisation. And yes,bhorez were not some victims of anglos, they had the same intention as them but the anglos were better at the job . They didn't not start getting blood thirsty because the English fckd them up ,they came here like that as the rest of the colonisers in Africa did. Isn't it funny that when African savagery is to be brought into the conversation, SA is like the rest of Africa ,but when colonisation of Africa is mentioned, SA suddenly becomes the lone and special kid of Africa . Europeans were all the same, others were just better st the game .
All in all,I wish I could like your post a thousand times .
Im ready Lioness ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) Our combined brainpower should be more than enough for them.

Its the plain truth that all astonishing wars between African groups happened after their arrival ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) As I replied to him above, the name mfecane itself was coined by the whites, borrowed from lifaqane (Lesotho). I also wanted to tell Xhosanostra that the major skirmish between them and the Khoisan was after the arrival of the same culprits (Mugabe's pink nozes ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) ).
