Topnaars
The Topnaars – the few remaining
descendants of the once-proud Khoikhoi – speak Nama, a click
language. These are a slight people with many similarities to the
San (Bushmen) and a long history on the African subcontinent. Slender-bodied
with apricot-coloured skin and prominent cheekbones, these people
resemble the desert they inhabit – beautiful and lean.
