Everything in Africa is complicated and there is truth in every lie, lies in every truth so stick to verifiable records, of which there are many available on the internet.
The original people were the San (= Bushmen, there is even argument about what they want to be called). They just were. They did not own the land, it just was. Parts around where Cape Town is now was bought by treaty with the original document still in the Deeds Office. They now form a large fraction of the "Coloured" group.
The Bantu migrated from West Africa annihilating the original inhabitants on the way. Few hunter-gathers exist currently. The Bantu settled where their crops could grow, avoiding the arid western parts of South Africa. The strong killing the weak, the victorious tribes growing by assimilating the defeated.
Before the Whites moved into the interior the lands were largely depopulated so there were few settled claimants. Weak tribes welcomed the Whites as a buffer force to protect them and gave the new migrants land without settlers. Other tracts were bought from chiefs. Some was taken by force for various reasons.
Diamonds and gold were discovered inland so Bantu moved there for work so they could buy shiny things from the Whites and for sustenance, but their tradition lands remain theirs to this day.
As populations grew the friction increased so we have the present situation.
Valid land claimants received restitution after the White dominated government handed over the country when about 70% of the Whites voted freely to cancel the system of "Apartheid", which was a lunatic attempt at stopping the tide of history.
There are now uneducated masses who are unemployable because of ANC government policies that want the action without the sweat, and are willing kill for the right to starve in a manner to which they hope to become accustomed, while the political powerful life a life of extreme luxury under the tutelage of the World Economic Forum who have stated that the optimal world population is 500 000 people (total).
People need to study the effects of violent totalitarian revolutions from the Jacobin appropriation of the French Revolution, Stalin's / Bolshevik Holodomor, Pol Pot's Killing Fields, Mugabe's Zimbabwe and many others. The "useful idiots", "activists", "intellectuals", people who used spectacles, teachers, and others with smooth hands were murdered sequentially.
