Medieval South Africa

South Africa was once inhabited by San people. At the beginning of the 15th century Bantu migrants entered the region & established large kingdoms. By the middle of the 15th century the Portuguese had discovered & named the Cape of Good Hope. By the middle of the 17th century the Dutch East India Company had established a settlement in Cape Town. Many Western Europeans migrated to South Africa thus establishing large protestant settlements in South Africa. [BM] {UA}
