Green lines are Khoikhoi â some of the early settlers. Other early settlers are the San people. The merger between Khoikhoi and San was known as the Khoisan people. The orange lines are the Bantu-speaking people, who came in later. Other groups include Zulu (in purple), BaSotho (in yellow), and Swazi (in dark green just north of the Zulu, in purple). The blue lines in the south show the Dutch (and French and German) Trekboers fleeing the British, who had more men and weapons.
