This consisted mostly of the Khoikhoi Khoi chiefdoms Gonaqua, Hoengeiqua, Inqua and others that were annexed by Xhosas and western expedition pioneers among Xhosa people themselves. A trusted counsellor to King Tshiwo was given authority to head this new chiefdom of amaGqunukhwebe, his name was Khwane . He was succeeded by his son Tshaka then Chungwa grandson . Their land spanned from Buffalo River KwaZulu Natal Buffalo Qonce to Zwaartkops Qhagqiwa rivers, but most of it has been lost as a result of the Frontier Wars far west and other Xhosa tribal wars near west . After many years of intermarriages, there were no differences in terms of origins but became one strong thriving Gqunukhwebe chiefdom which in recent years had its own sub divisions. This happened through the sons of Chungwa i.e. Phatho Pato and Kama, they respectively settled along the coast and inland .

The comic number is sung by the Cowardly Lion Bert Lahr during the scene at the Emerald City, when the Cowardly Lion, Dorothy Judy Garland , the Tin Man Jack Haley and the Scarecrow Ray Bolger are waiting to learn whether the Wizard will grant them an audience. Lahr employs a spoken interlude during the number, in which the rest of the group ask him how he would deal with other powerful animals if he were king, for example Supposin you met an elephant? I d wrap him up in cellophane cellophant The song contains the line What makes the Khoikhoi Hottentot so Hot? a phrase that is now considered an offensive term for the Khoikhoi tribe of Africa. The term is not censored for broadcast or in reproductions, though, as it is accepted as an anachronism . Two portions of the song were cut for reasons of time a brief middle stanza in which the other characters echo the verse that preceded it and Lahr first proclaims himself Monarch of all I survey a line repeated later in the song , and the final stanza which ended with the Lion proclaiming If I...were... king two versions were recorded one where Lahr himself unsuccessfully tries to hit the high note on the final word, and instead does so in his character s trademark growl the other has the final high note powerfully delivered by soprano Georgia Stark, who was paid 25 for her involvement .

Krotoa , or Eva, born circa 1642, was the niece of Autshumato , a Khoikhoi Khoi leader and trader. When she was young, she worked in the household of Jan van Riebeeck , the first governor of the Cape colony. As a teenager, she learned Dutch language Dutch and Portuguese language Portuguese and like her uncle, worked as an Interpreting interpreter for the Dutch who wanted to trade goods for cattle. On 3 May 1662 she was Baptism baptised by a visiting parson, minister Petrus Sibelius, in the church inside the Fort de Goede Hoop . The witnesses were Roelof de Man and Pieter van der Stael. On 26 April 1664 she married Pieter van Meerhoff, a Danish surgeon. She was the first Khoikoi to marry according to christian customs. There was a little party in the house of Zacharias Wagenaer . In May 1665 they left the Cape and went to Robben Island . Van Meerhoff died on 27 February 1668 on an expedition. Eva returned to the mainland on 30 September 1668 with her children. Suffering from alcoholism , she left Castle of Good Hope the Castle in the settlement to be with her family in the kraal s. In February 1669 she was imprisoned at the Castle and then Exile banished to Robben Island. She returned to the mainland on many occasions just to find herself once more banished to Robben Island.

She died on 29 July 1674 in the Cape and was buried on 30 September 1674 in the church in the Fort.

The Sangoan archaeological industry is the name given by archaeologist s to a Palaeolithic tool manufacturing style ref Robert Linville Hoover. 1974 ref which may have developed from the earlier Acheulian types 130,000 BP . In addition to the Acheulian stone tool s, use was also made of bone and antler picks. Sangoan toolkit was used especially for grubbing and perhaps even for simple vegeculture. The Sangoan period is broadly analogous to the Mousterian culture in Europe. It is named after the site of Sango Bay in Uganda where it was first discerned in 1920. The peoples who used Sangoan tools were Hunter gatherer hunting and gathering cultures, also known as the Sangoan, who occupied southern Africa in areas where annual rainfall is less than 40 inches 1016 mm from the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic period. Today s Khoisan people, the Bushmen San and Khoikhoi Khoi , two major ethnic group s of Southern Africa, resemble the ancient Sangoan skeletal remains, and descend from the people of the Palaeolithic Sangoan industry. The Sangoan industry was distributed broadly from present day Botswana to Ethiopia. ref D.W.

Autshumato or Autshumao was a Strandloper peoples Strandloper 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 . 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.
