Who are the San people?

The San is the oldest inhabitants of Southern Africa. Nobody knows how long they have been around, but it is believed that they were around for over 20,000-100,000 years, probably making them one of the oldest, if not the oldest tribe in the world.
The San go by other names: Bushmen and Bansarwa.



The San people live without a general leader or rulers. Although there are leaders for things such as rituals and hunting, the people are usually  in charge of governing their lives themselves. Sometimes though, there are disputes amongst each other and it can be difficult to have someone express their thoughts.

We will learn more about the San from their history to their culture.
