South African Natives

If I had to choose to be a native from one of the four countries we spoke about I would choose South Africa.

The main reason I would choose to be a native from South Africa is because the natives of South Africa still have a say in the government today. The natives help to make the ANC (African National Congress). Descendants of the native tribes have even accounted for the last four presidents of South Africa. Nelson Mandela a descendant of a native tribe went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Another reason why I would choose to be a native of South Africa was the fact that they were innovative fighters and could hold there own in some ways against the European powers. When Shaka, who was arguably one of the greatest rulers of the Zulu Kingdom, realized that the Zulu's would not be able to hold there own against the European powers he worked to unite all the tribes. The united South African tribes were able to defend there land better than the natives of other countries did. One example of this is the Battle of Isandlwana when the the Zulus overwhelmed the British troop killing 1,300 of them.

In conclusion, although it would be unfortunate to be in the position of any of these native tribes, the best chance at living and succeeding would be with the South African Natives.
