::The same way that white Americans are invaders in the USA, Zulu Africans are invaders in South Africa, and so on.

:::Why is it necessary for you to divide Africans? The Khoisan, Zulu and all other black folk are Africans. Furthermore, why should the frame of reference of outsiders determine whether so-called Zulu Africans as invaders or not, when in those days the continent did not even have borders. Look, we all know that at the heart of this attempted differentiation of Africans, is the desperation to conjure up some sort of legitimacy over the lands. ] (]) 18:49, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
:::@] Zulu Africans aren't invaders. The Bantu migration was a centuries long migratory drift, not a swift military expansion like the apartheid myth suggests. For this reason it cannot be compared to Dutch and British colonisation. Take your colonial apologia elsewhere. ] (]) 13:36, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

"South Africa has a mixed economy, South Africa's economy is the most industrialized and technologically advanced in Africa respectively, it has the second largest economy in Africa, after Nigeria and the 39th largest in the world."


This is a strange run-on sentence and I don't even know what the "respectively" means here. At the very least please change the first comma to a full stop (or period as Americans call it?) but here's my proposal to rephrase it (or something like this, feel free to rephrase it, English isn't my first language)
