This is a photo of a wall in South Africa's Eastern Cape, built by Khoisan slaves. This one is within sight of my parents-in-law's old home. One sees these walls all over Eastern Cape. Some of the stones are enormous. Wikipedia says that the building of these walls "profoundly damaged Khoisan social organisation, and brought about attacks on farms. Descendants of the Khoisan have told me that the farmers massacred the Khoisan once they had built the walls. They shot them. However, I do not find this in any history book. One may click on the photo to enlarge.
