As mentioned in the beginning of the SOAS or Space ..... we talked about the Culture and Tribes of the KhoiKhoi...well without any further questions....let's name the most well known KhoiKhoi Tribes as was mentioned in the Diary of Jan van Riebeeck (1652-1662) & the Academic Book by Richard Elphick: KhoiKhoi and the founding of white South Africa (1977 ... re edits in 1985)

Cochoqua - people who have narrow cheekbones

Outeniqua - people that carry honey

Namaqua - Nama people

Hessaqua - people of the trees

Inqua - Cambedoo Khoi People of the Eastern Cape

Ataqua - the people who carries their tribe

Obiqua - intelligent people ( Obi - head)

||Ammaqua - people of the water

Chainoqua - people who carries the messages

Tanqua - people who lives on the land which ignites the fire that burns on the land.

Note that the so called Strandlopers are the ||Ammaqua which Autshumao or Harry the Beachcomber was the leader of ( the colonial view of how the VOC saw Autshumao) which were present at your present Table Bay docks; near Table Mountain in Rondebosch and the settlement where today's Golden Acre shopping centre is located.
