They descend from the Bantu or indigenous Khoisan people and White settlers. Most of the Coloured population live in the Northern and Western Cape Provinces in South Africa, while the majority of the Indian population live in KwaZulu-Natal. The Dutch/Afrikaner population is concentrated in the Gauteng and Free State Provinces.[1]
