History of Katanga
This is a history of Katanga Province and the former independent State of Katanga, as well as the history of the region prior to colonization. == Earliest residents == Prior to Bantu migration around 500 BCE, the area was probably the site of dwellings by much more widespread Khoisan and Pygmy hunter-gatherer peoples; the Katanga area is one of the few areas in the continent where concurrent settlements of both peoples have been identified.
