Central WA | My sources say different....to this day there is a level of animosity and mistrust between these two tribal groups. It was one of the questions that people wondered about with Mandela--how he would attempt to keep the peace across this divide.....Fortunately Mandela was bigger than such divides and realized the only way forward was to leave the past in the past as much as possible and work for the people working together--Zulu, Xhosa, Afrikaaners, Colored, etal needed to move on for the sake of all and not let things deteriorate into the factional fraticide and pursuit of revenge of the past. Whether his successors in leadership in S Africa can live into his ethos remains to be seen.
By the way, slavery predates the Romans. It has been part and parcel of human society of all colors until fairly recently. There are probably still pockets of slave holding for economic reasons tucked into remote places. "Slavic" has its origin in the fact that the folks in that area of the world were regularly raided and enslaved by their neighbors. Maybe Poles, Russians, Ukrainians, Czechs, Ruthenians, Slovaks, Wends, and others of the Slavic peoples are owed something for what they experienced. There is no end to this "victimization" theory.
