There was a black population there, but it was hunted down and largely exterminated by both the Bantu and European migrations.

The Europeans generally left the Kosians alone, because they were no threat to the Europeans.

This is not the standard explanation of South Africa that one gets from the mainstream media and the civil rights industry. It would be interesting to read more about this. I'm wondering if there are any histories of the area that all factions would agree are true.
There was a black population there, but it was hunted down and largely exterminated by both the Bantu and European migrations.The Covenant, by James Michener, is an easy way to begin that journey...

If I understand it was largely a nomadic population called the Khoisan, lighter skinned and smaller. Yeah, and they were decimated.

Calling people "black" is confusing. There are "black skinned Caucasians" - like Tamils
The South Africans are of 3 different races: Khoisan/Bushmen (same race), Caucasian (Europeans, South Asians) and Afroid (bantu-speakers) with a large number of mixed race folks.
Khoi-san/Bushmen are not "black" as we consider the term (meaning Afroid/Negroid) - their physical features show that their branch split off from Negroid/Caucasian/Mongoloid people very, very early. There are more differences between the San peoples and Negroid folks than between Negroid folks and Caucasians
The "whites" as in Boers have been there so long they are native Africans
Bluntly putting it (and factually too) -- THIS is an African-American person
