Tshwa

Tshwa is the name of a group of closely related Khoe languages spoken across the eastern Kalahari. The Tshwa peoples inhabit a country of seasonal rivers, grasslands and salt pans stretching towards the Makgadikgadi basin. Their knowledge of wild plants provided food, medicines and materials for tools. Around the Nata delta, Tshwa people also collected salt from the pans and carried it for exchange, linking the resources of this dry country with communities beyond it.
