I mean if we were to only focus on Shoprite alone, I would actually tell you that majority of Shoprite's employees are Black South Africans.

As someone who had their front teeth pulled it was mainly my parents who got me to do it spontaneously one day at the dentist because I had a gap in my teeth and I guess they didn't see an issue with it but I seriously regret having my teeth pulled since it's rare among younger generations like mine and it has impacted my social life.

[@carmenjohannes2831]

Alot of people actually dont know that part of our history. They front teeth of coloured people were removed so that they wont communicate in their mother tongue. Slave owners wanted to hear every word and thats how Afrikaans was created. Alot of people think Afrikaans is a white language its not it was created by coloureds to communicate with each other. The slave owners spoke German, dutch with some french influence. Coloured people combined them so Afrikaans is a dialect of German, dutch and french. Today many coloured people remove their teeth wilingly not knowing where it came from.

[@lebogangkhunou6882]

Afrikaans is DUTCH! Why would the masters learn a slave language when they can just force you to speak their own language the same way they forcefully removed their teeth?

[@frederickhefer3442]

It later on became a fashion trend in the 70's to have a passion gap.

[@jadepalmer6338]

Do some research and you'll find the knowledge you are seeking

[@susansithole1512]

Well I thought the reason why most coloureds from Capetown lose their front teeth is due to the snoek fish that they consume. Apparently it’s very salty & that saltiness when consumed a lot causes damage to the teeth & the front ones being sensitive because they are in front & easier to lose compared to the rest of the teeth. I was told by a young coloured girl from Capetown who had lost her teeth. This was the reason she gave me.

[@isaaccpt6643]

What annoys me is the tribalism that still exists in SA. Most of the people here a comment utter nonsense which isn't historically accurate. When the coloured classified was introduced in the early 20th century 1/3 of those people were pure khoisan. A large percentage were mixed due to centuries of colonialism and then there's also the Malays and other indentured slave groups. All of these people were classified coloured. Cape Malays are a minority in the coloured group so why are bantu african people trying to deny the coloured African ancestors? It's 2024 we have to come together and unite. As a coloured people we are trying to build our communities and identities as we have been uses for centuries as pawns in a game and made to hate and distance ourselves from our African routes. So please bantu Africans tribes we love you but please don't try to deny our African heritage let's come together and unite

[@mr.blackzonrackz7055]

Funny how the Dutch are the last explorers to arrive to SA shores and the found "Khoisan" exclusively. But when we read history of earlier explorers of Portuguese and Spanish and French and Arabic who were trading with Africans clearly describes the Bantu phenotypes they found in the shores of the tip of the continent. We had the Great Zimbabwe, Maphungubwe, inzalo Yelanga, Mwenemopata and Cafreria all heavily influenced by Bantu and all of them way ancient than you'll ever imagine. Europeans found alot of ancient history that they destroyed to push their narrative, we have ancient gold and iron mines here in SA dating back to atleast 2000yrs ago who do you think was digging there, aliens?

[@YehoDrago]

@@mr.blackzonrackz7055 But the British were the last to arrive in SA and had contact/conflict with the Xhosa and Zulu to the east. In the 1600s for the first few decades after the Dutch arrived they only controlled a small portion of territory around the Cape. It has been documented that as the Dutch expanded they did encounter the Xhosa. All the other things you have mentioned are also documented and accepted in scholarly circles (even among white scholars). I've also seen some people saying otherwise, but it's not everyone who denies it.

[@mr.blackzonrackz7055]

@@YehoDrago yes you are correct the Brits are actually the last guys to arrive, but by that time they weren't 'exporing' they were formally colonising by that time, but I hear you thanks for the contribution

[@CharlotteLong-nh4pt]

In an interview of 2,167 Coloured people in the Western Cape, 41% have had teeth extracted. Of those who have undergone the procedure, 44.8% were male. Children as young as 11 have had their front teeth extracted for aesthetics. Other reasons for a passion gap include the belief of improved oral sex and kissing.

[@ronaldwiley8357]

What many people do not realise is that in SA ,it was the KhoiSan/Coloureds who were enslaved, the Black tribes Zulu, Xhosa etc were spared from the indignity of slavery, that is why Coloureds do not identify as Black ,because then it would mean that they would have to deny a significant part of their history , as painful as it was, it still contributed to who they are.

[@seektruth5750]

You mean they fought back like they always do even today? They had to create a new system to oppress them still they fought it to the core.

Coloured people have khoi ancestry. We also have Sub-Saharan, European and Asian. Hence, we're Coloured.

[@seektruth5750]

@ exactly, you’re not “Khoi” or “San”, or any of that, having ancestry is not being that thing as we are now seeing the lie being propelled. Black people, especially the Xhosa and Batswana have “Khoi” ancestry as well, are we “Khoi” ? No, but we are as African as the Khoi are as we have no other mixture but African ancestry, in all its vastness. This lie that the coloured people are the actual “Khoi” is disturbing and disgusting. We know you are mixed, hence you are coloured, Not “Khoi”, and I say “Khoi” because the Basarwa people don’t even call themselves that , it’s also an acronym that’s just disgraceful actually, same as the “San” one.

[@realriaan3620]

@@seektruth5750 I dont know about Xhosa or Batswana having Khoi ancestry. Khoi are not Bantu or Sub-Saharan African. Western and North- Western parts of South Africa was inhabited by the Khoi.

And on percentage, the Outeniqua, Basters and Griqua Coloureds have mostly Khoi ancestry. Coloured people in the Cape (not including Malay Coloureds), Namakwaland and Boland.

@ imagine saying that you don’t know about actual Africans with no mix , having “Khoi” ancestry even though you ca. see it and find it in their cultures, but you claim it for yourself with your Asian and European mix, looking like someone from Latin America, not even speaking the language, but you want to claim that you have more of that ancestry, and that makes sense to you, just wow .

@@musandlela6413 Not necessarily, there's been Xhosa people who took heritage tests here on KZbin but not an inch of hunter gather DNA, just Bantu. Few Xhosa and Tswana people have Khoisan DNA after mixing in the Cape Colony and then leaving to settle in the region of the Great Fish River areas. So just as some Xhosa and Tswana people, some Coloured people are also descendants of Khoisan, that's what Lorcia Cooper is referring to. Doesn't mean because the elders of these Coloured people have lost their traditions and language through the generations that they are no longer considered Khoisan descendants, the influence of their Khoisan ancestry is evident in their upbringing, their family values, cooking and dance styles
