Well the three MAIN groups would probably have been the British, The Boers and the Zulus.

The Xhosa were also fairly powerful though.

Or, taking a longer view, the Khoi herders clashed with the San hunter-gatherers, who then both clashed with the incoming Bantu migration from the north, and then they all clashed with the European settlers from the South.

Then the first Euro settlers, who were Dutch, were evicted by the British (after a little clash). And the British then clashed with everybody, but particularly with the Afrikaners and the Zulus. In the end the British won and took control of the entire territory.

But they gave it back. Which is how it is now.

The first we know of were the clashes between the indigenous San tribes and the migration of the bantu tribes from the North. The bantu pushed the San back to inaccessible mountains and sandy deserts, where a few still survive.

The the white invaders from the South, the Dutch, pushed back at the Khoi tribes who lived in the interior and drove them from their pastoral lands.

Later, the British took over the Cape from the Dutch, and started an expansion into the Eastern Cape, which precipitated a migration of farmers (Boers) into the interior. This "Great Trek" push the bantu tribes back into their own territory causing internal wars of land.

Then there were the Zulu tribe of the bantu, who expanded their territory in Natal and Zululand, pushing smaller tribes right out of the area. Some (the Matabele) were pushed as far as the present day Zimbabwe.

Most recently, around 1900 onwards, the British emptied all arable and mining land of bantu tribes and stored them in newly established reservations. All bantu who were not needed for labour were herded into these areas of what amounted to large scale house arrest.
