Basarwa

Basarwa is a collective name used for San peoples of the Kalahari, whose communities speak different languages and have distinct histories. Around Ghanzi in the western Kalahari, Naro, Juǀʼhoansi and Gǀwi communities lived on and around a ridge where water could be found in the dry country. The Naro speak a Khoe language related to those of the Gǀwi and Gǁana farther east. Hunting and gathering formed an important part of life among these communities.

The later city of Ghanzi lies here.
