They have been always a despised See also:race and regarded as outcasts by the See also:Bantu peoples. They were threatened with extermination during the Kaffir See also:wars, but were protected by the See also:British. At See also:present they live in settled communities under See also:civil magistrates without any tribal organization, and in some districts could be scarcely distinguished from the other natives but for their broken Hottentot-Dutch-See also:English speech.
