[@HLGMD]

All black South Africans have 'Khoi'/ hunter gatherer DNA. This thing that we came from from the north and went down south is just false and has been debunked. The Nguni are a native Southern African group that stemmed from the hunter gatherers. But the nguni did spread and go North of Southern Africa, like Zimbabwe and Zambia where you have a minority of Zulu speakers called Ngoni and Ndebele, they even dress like the Zulus and have beads like them. But to be Zulu or Xhosa does not make you culturally different from the other nguni members. The practices are identical only language and dress style is different. You can say we're a fashionable group of people. We are proud of our fashion and language, that's the only barrier we have amongst us but our cultural practices are almost identical. Process marriage, funeral and so on. Very much the same throughout South African.

As a South African black woman this is heartfelt and feels sad at the same time. When we face life hardships and all the confusion and misunderstanding we normally turn to seek our ancestors. I. This case where does this young lady start? Where would she begin to understand herself. I wish you all the best of luck and above all God's love and peace. My grandmother's mother from my father's side was German. When my father got cancer, it was very hard to find a chemo that could manipulate his DNA. The doctor suggested we do DNA test and try to track down family members that we can so that they can understand his DNA but also get others with his bloodline tested for cancerous cells as his cancer was more genetic related other than diet. We found her great grandchild that we never knew. My father was able to get the right treatment and the lady was also tested and one of her son's is getting treatment to avoid the cancerous cells from forming. Sometimes it cna save lives , its not only about colour.

[@mfundocele6718]

Khoisan is not a race. It's a tribe.

[@fieraafricana]

@@mfundocele6718 thank you for your comment and allow me to admit that I am by no means an expert on the subject. However, my understanding is that the Khoisan race is made up of the Khoekhoen (Hottentots) and the San (Bushman), together known as the Khoisan or Khoe-San people or race. These were the original indigenous people of southern Africa and arrived to southern Africa millennia (150,000 years ago) before any Bantu races migrated that far south on the continent. Therefore, yes, the Khoisan are in fact a race, not just a tribe, and their genetic makeup differs from that of the Bantu races. With the genetic sequencing technology available at present, seeing one's own genetic makeup is so, so interesting, don't you think?

[@mfundocele6718]

@@fieraafricana that's a nonsense racist white mostly made up world view. Everyone's genetic make up is different. Does that mean a German is a different race from an Englishman because they show up different on DNA tests? Are Chinese and Japanese a different race? Bantu migration is a theory with no concrete evidence not a fact. Some versions of that theory have Bantu tribes Originating in South Africa. There are also hunter gatherer tribes that speak in click Sounds all over Africa. Hence they show up as South and East African hunter gatherer tribes on DNA tests. They are just another African tribe. I say this as someone who is 1/3rd khoi.

As a coloured girl I've been wanting to get this test done!But I heard it's on the pricey side.. Being as mixed as were are it would just be nice to know where our heritage fits in. I just know it's good to know your ancestral background and we unfortunately don't know all our roots😓

You have the split image to someone I use to know... her grand father were also a Solomons. I never though I would see her double 😌👌Amazing Experiences 👌

[@Kaang_Plays]

Us in Southern Africa are a real mixed stew. I often get strange looks from Western people when I use the term 'coloured'. When I explain it, they are very surprised. Keep in mind, the original Cape Malay originate from todays Indonesia.

[@They.call.her.tee3]

This brought me to tears, its tiring to hear people tell you who and what they want you to be, when our roots are so deep.

[@lamakeupartistry4482]

Aaw, I appreciate you watching my story. 😊

[@Japanese_one_Tokyo]

[@sandilemfeka4658]

Good for you my sister, now you know your ancestry unlike those who keep claiming they are European or Khoi or San.

[@southafrica9179]

Wow, your people have travelled the world!

[@caio9193]

I read that the main component of the colored ones is khoisan and the first test I see already escapes that, I am pardo (mixed) from Brazil, and the colored ones are much more mixed than us, our main component is European 65% on average

[@lamakeupartistry4482]

Correct, there is still so much information missing and a lot unknown.

[@fadielbenjamin159]

The main component is Khoisan because there are still subgroups of the Coloured community like the Namas and the Griqua who are of majority khoi and San descent. Cape Coloureds and others are likely to be way more mixed.

[@tpmash]

The main component of MOST South Africans is Khoi

[@jhayeahnnedollente4939]

I knew it!! You are more like asian from philippines, indonesia, thailand, and vietname❤❤❤

[@jamman8678]

Definition of a global woman she can’t be discriminated at allllllll. She belongs every where 🙄😎🤔

[@DondiWhiteRIP]

... except a large part of each group will discriminate against her for not being 'pure'

[@selinaBARMAR2565]

[@axemanlion3475]

I'm supposedly white, but I bet my DNA will show great diversity too. Glad you're happy. Don't let your language and community culture ever disappear. SA will be poorer for, as will the world ❤
