Until the eleventh century, most people in southern Africa lived in small, predominantly agrarian societies characterized by subsistence farming and pastoralism. These communities were often organized into clans or tribes, with social structures centered around kinship and communal living. Trade networks existed, but the societies were largely localized, with cultural practices and traditions deeply rooted in their environments. The social and political organization was typically decentralized, with leadership based on lineage and consensus rather than centralized authority.
