Bantu speaking people resides in the north eastern and eastern region of the country long before the arrival of Europeans. Area around the Kruger game reserves was first populated in 13^th century. In the late centuries as the travel routes develop among the Eastern nations Dutch, French, Britain and Spanish people move their way into the land of South Africa. Started trade with Kohekohe tribes. Europeans developed colonies for trade; slave trade begin in 17^th century and conflict arise among these tribes and European people.

Apartheid activities started giving more rights to white men, racial segregation raised to its peak after World War II. Activities include giving more power and hold to the white men and their representatives. Local tribes were not allow to take part in the politics of the country. Resources were used by the white men.

As the years past, anti - apartheid movements start and people among the other parts of the continents also raise their voice. Movement were mostly peaceful but local tribe also raise arms against the colonial forces which were not very fruitful.
