Respect Basarwa

As we speak, there is a controversy surrounding the very name of the Basarwa.  Historians and sociologists referred to the Basarwa as the Khoi-San in the early 1960's. That happened at a time when Africa made a deliberate effort to rediscover itself after nearly 400 years of colonialism.

The Basarwa were the first to resist colonialism on the coast of the then Cape Coast. On the roads leading to that province from Botswana, the Khoi-San names of villages abound, also recognising several of their encounters with the Boers.
