    Small fact, Elon Musk is from South Africa yet we cannot buy a Tesla here...
    I had to edit this... I know all the reasons why we don't have Tesla's in South Africa. This was merely just a statement saying that we cannot buy them here.- (Read the goddamn first 2 words) It is a factual statement not a question on why we cannot buy them)

      You have to break it down to farm land, sectional titles (part ownership in estates), urban land and the rest.

And all of this based on reports , MOST people dont reported shit in south africa , why ? Because nothing fucking happens. The crime in South Africa is one of THE highest in the world. Nothing wrong with the country itself , just the people managing it. Eskom is a load of shit , we have loadshedding most of the year , our water is only clean in some places , the roads are terrible , and yet you defend this country like its top class ? Nothing works here , because if it where we would be a 1st world country , and sadly we are far from that. And if you find it difficult to believe my statistics , do yourself a favor and research. We are THIRD on the list for worst crime and crime rates in the WORLD. Open your eyes , its not always sunshine and rainbows.

    The historical relationships and interactions between the foraging, herding and farming societies is more complicated than Bantu-speaking groups displacing Khoekhoe and Bushman groups. Things like the clicks in Xhosa and Zulu and the traditional cattle-based economic cultures, for example, derive from the mixing and absorption of pastoralist Khoekhoe into agriculturalist Bantu-speaking communities.
    Also, during colonisation, the Dutch brought in thousands of Africans and Asians as slaves. South Africans classified/identifying as Coloured are the descendants of those slaves as well as the remaining Khoekhoe and Bushman people who were living within the Cape Colony. They also make up the majority of Afrikaans-speakers and Afrikaans owes much of its development to the Dutch of the slaves and Khoekhoe.
