Khoi is a collective term used by 20th century scholars for several San-speaking people who internally identified themselves by various “clan” names such as “Chochoqua,” “Goringhaiqua,” or “Gorachoqua.” They lived mostly around the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. Traditional subsistence activity largely centered on cattle and sheep herding, but hunting and gathering were also important. With the expansion of European settler agriculture in the 17th century, the Khoi suffered from land alienation and smallpox epidemics which forced them to retreat to more remote and arid regions. By the beginning of the 18th century, as a consequence, the Khoi could no longer live as an economically self-sufficient people. This led to their subsequent incorporation into settler society as domestic and farm workers.
