Fighting between the Khoisan and Portuguese arose primarily due to conflicts over land and resources. The Portuguese, seeking to establish trade routes and settlements in Southern Africa during the 15th and 16th centuries, encroached upon the territories traditionally inhabited by the Khoisan people. This led to skirmishes as the Khoisan resisted colonial encroachment and fought to protect their lands and way of life. Additionally, the Portuguese's attempts to assert control over trade and resources further fueled tensions between the two groups.
