Basadi

Basadi is a term from the Southern African region, specifically referring to ancient stone structures built by the early peoples of Southern Africa, particularly the San and Khoikhoi communities. These structures, often small stone enclosures or shelters, served as homes, ceremonial sites, or places for community gatherings. Basadi reflect traditional construction techniques and cultural practices, offering insights into the region's history and the way of life of its indigenous peoples. They are important archaeological and cultural heritage sites that help preserve and understand the ancient history of the area.
