    Extractions: The Batswana people at the celebration Botswana has an estimated population of 1.6 million (in 1999), about 60% have Tswana origin. About 75 per cent of the people of Botswana live in the eastern part of the country - in medium to large agricultural or urban settlements. The remaining 25 per cent live in the west of the country in smaller settlements. About 20 per cent of the total population lives in the four major urban areas - Gaborone Francistown Lobatse and Selebi-Phikwe BATSWANA The Tswana people are the largest group in Botswana and traditionally comprise of almost half or more of the country's total population. The three major Tswana groups were the Bakwena (who eventually came to settle on the Molepolole area), the Bangwato (who eventually came to settle the Shoshong/Palapye/ Serowe areas), and the Bangwaketse (who eventually came to settle the Kanye area). The Batswana are essentially agriculturalists with strong pastoral customs. Cattle are of extreme importance, both socially and economically. The number of cattle a man owns defines his wealth, and indicates his status and prestige. In the past, cattle were vital in the propitiation of the ancestors, the transfer of bride price and in other rituals. Today, cattle are still used as payment by a man's family to the family of his prospective wife, to compensate for the loss of one of the family (though this tradition is declining in the urban areas). Cattle also act as security against misfortune, as in times of need they can be sold or exchanged for other goods.

    Extractions: serowe Botswana's early tribal religions were primarily cults in which ancestors directed family matters from their underworld domain and were contactable only through the heads of family groups. Religious rites included male and female initiation ceremonies and rain-making rituals. Polygamy was practised, and a man's estate was inherited by the children of his head wife. San folklore is rich with supernatural explanations of natural events, orchestrated by N!odima, the good guy, and Gcawama, the mischievous trickster. Missionaries dislodged nearly all the traditional practices, and Christianity is currently the prevailing belief system in Botswana. English is the official language of Botswana, but the most common language is Setswana, a Bantu language understood by over 90% of the population. The original Botswana artists were everyday craftspeople who injected individual aesthetics into utilitarian implements such as pottery, fabrics and tools. Botswana's baskets are exquisite, employing designs with such evocative names as Tears of the Giraffe, Urine Trail of the Bull and Forehead of the Zebra. Because indigenous languages have only been written since the coming of the Christian missionaries, Botswana doesn't have much of a literary tradition. All that survives of the ancient myths and praise poetry of the native peoples has been handed down orally and only recently transcribed. Botswana's most famous modern literary figure was South African-born Bessie Head, who settled in Serowe and wrote of the harshness and beauty of village life.

    http://www.afrikavakanties.nl/zimbabwe/history_zimbabwe.html
    
    Extractions: victoria falls Southern Africa's human history extends back through the millennia to the first rumblings of humanity on the planet. The first upright-walking 'hominids' established themselves in the savannas of southern and eastern Africa nearly 4 million years ago. These human-like creatures slowly developed into persons-as-we-know-'em as more sophisticated tools were produced and climatic conditions became more favourable. By the middle Stone Age, which lasted until 20,000 years ago, organised hunting and gathering societies had been established, and by 8000BC, late Stone Age people occupied rock shelters and caves all over southern Africa. The first inhabitants of Zimbabwe were probably nomadic, adaptable San groups, gradually absorbed by Khoi-Khoi grazier tribes, and slowly transmuting into a culture known as Khoisan. Bantu-speaking farmers, either Khoisan settlers or Iron Age migrants from the north, were the first occupants of the Great Zimbabwe site in the south of the country. Between 500 and 1000AD, the Gokomere (a Bantu group into gold-mining and cattle ranching) enslaved and absorbed San groups in the area. As early as the 11th century, some foundations and stonework were in place at Great Zimbabwe and the settlement, generally regarded as the nascent Shona society, became the trading capital of the wealthiest and most powerful society in south-eastern Africa. The hilltop acropolis at Great Zimbabwe came to serve not only as a fortress but as a shrine for the worship of Mwari, the pre-eminent Shona deity. By the 15th century, Great Zimbabwe's influence had begun to decline, due to a heady cocktail of overpopulation, overgrazing, popular uprisings and political fragmentation.

    Extractions: Privacy Statement Botswana's artistic culture has flourished from time immemorial. The Kalahari is rich in the remains of tools and artefacts made thousands of years ago, as early as the Stone Age. The Tsodilo hills are covered with San paintings. The artistic tradition lives on in basketwork, pottery, weaving and art that flourishes today in many parts of the country. Botswana has been rich in art, pottery and tool making since the Stone Age. The San hunter-gatherers lived in the Kalahari for at least 27,000 years, leaving traces of their occupation in bone and flint tools, and implements. Iron Age settlers arrived 1,200 years ago to mine minerals and smelt iron. These communities lived on ancient trade routes, which transferred goods and raw materials to and from Africa to the Middle East and Asia. Early glass trade beads from the Indian sub-continent have been found in the Kalahari alongside traditional African artefacts. The earliest rock paintings were probably painted in the Tsodilo hills at least 1,500 years ago. Some may have been even earlier. The painting by the ancestors of the San (Bushmen) continued until comparatively recent times. Tsodilo consists of four main hills and recently was named as Botswana's first World Heritage site. More than 4,000 paintings have been discovered in over 350 sites now located along well-marked trails. The interested visitor needs to spend at least two nights at Tsodilo to see a fraction of them. There is also an Iron Age site dating back to about 750 AD, which reveals broken pottery, iron artefacts and Stone Age tools.
