Utixo or Tiqua was a god of the Khoikhoi Khoi , a benevolent deity who lived in the sky, sending rain for the crops, and speaking with thunder. Utixo is sometimes translated as wounded knee . For an alternative pantheon see Khoikhoi mythology One story that has survived in Christian literature, was that Utixo sent a message to his people that death would not be eternal. Unfortunately he used a rabbit to carry the message. The rabbit became confused, reversed the message, and ended up telling men that they would not rise again. Utixo was the word that missionaries used it translate God into Khoikhoi. The Zulus call the deity Utixo, the hidden god, because he is hidden behind Unkulunkulu .

Hahn suggests that the amaZulu people borrowed this creation myth from the Khoikhoi from whom they appropriated their lands, but that they misunderstood the word hhhhh uhlanga which in isiZulu means marsh reed , but which means offshoot in some Khoikhoi languages.

Bushmen s A Kaross is a cloak made of sheepskin , or the hide of other animals, with the hair left on. It is properly confined to the coat of skin without sleeves and used to be worn by the Khoikhoi and Bushmen Bushmen San peoples of South Africa . These karosses became replaced by a blanket. Their chiefs wore karosses of the skin of the wild cat, leopard or caracal . The word is also loosely applied to the cloaks of leopard skin worn by the chiefs and principal men of the Kaffir racial term Kaffir tribes. Kaross is probably either a genuine Khoikhoi word, or else an adaptation of the Dutch kuras Portuguese cowra a , a cuirass. In a vocabulary dated 1673 karos is described as a corrupt Dutch word. These days the kaross is a common tourist item, being made of various animal hides including cowhide. The term is loosely applied in modern times to fur blankets sold as bedding. These karosses often have panels of different types of animal fur sewn into them in order to make a decorative pattern. 1911 Category Cultural studies ... more details

Autshumato or Autshumao was a Khoikhoi leader who worked as an Interpreting interpreter for the Europeans in present day South Africa during the time of the establishment of the Netherlands Dutch settlement on the Cape of Good Hope in 1652. He was also known as Herry or Harry de Strandloper meaning Harry the Beachcomber . His date of birth is unknown, but it is thought that he lived between about 1625 and 1665. In 1632, he moved to Robben Island with a group of people and worked as postman and liaison for European ships passing the island. Moving back to the mainland 8 years later, Autshumato worked to create trade between the Khoi and the Dutch. On April 2, 1652, Jan van Riebeeck , a Dutchman employed by the Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie V.O.C. , and his crew arrived at the Cape to establish a settlement that eventually became Cape Town . Following this, Autshumato s tribe was forced to live on the shores of the cape and came to be known as Strandloper peoples Strandloper s , a term applied by the colonists to the people living along, and basing their subsistence economy subsistence existence on, the coast of south western Africa. Autshumato started trading in livestock for small amounts of alcohol and tobacco with the foreigners. But after the effect of the alcohol had passed, the Khoi Khoi tribesmen became angry and stole from the Dutch who he felt had cheated them. Because of this, Jan van Riebeeck ordered in 1658 that Autshumato be imprisoned on Robben Island. After one and a half years on the island he and his group escaped from the island on a rowboat . One year later Autshumato applied for and received permission to again live and work near the Dutch settlement, resuming his role as an interpreter. He died in 1663. Krotoa , or Eva, was the niece of Autshumato.
