QUESTION 1 (3 ANSWERS PROVIDED)
Understanding the history of precolonial African societies is crucial for several reasons.
Firstly, it allows us to acknowledge and appreciate the origins of human civilization in
southern Africa and the significant contributions of these societies to the global human story.
Additionally, many present-day South Africans identify with their precolonial cultural roots
and assert their political and land claims based on this history, emphasizing the need to
take their claims seriously.
