In 1652, the indigenous people of the Cape were primarily the Khoikhoi and the San. The Khoikhoi, also known as the Hottentots, were pastoralists who herded cattle and sheep, while the San, often referred to as Bushmen, were hunter-gatherers. These groups had inhabited the region for thousands of years before European colonization. The arrival of the Dutch in 1652 marked the beginning of significant changes and challenges for these indigenous communities.
