Afrikaners were forcing native tribes off ancestral lands during our Civil War. One such tribe was the Basuto. Just like Native Americans, they were forced onto land that wasn't any better then reservations. They killed Steve Biko and imprisoned Mandella to stop the voices of freedom.

One part of my degree was Anthropology. From this I learnt that things were much more straightforward under the British Empire. The Naga lived in Nagaland. The Basuto lived in Basotoland, the Nuer lived in Nuerland, etc.
