Kaffraria, Kaffiria, or Kaffirland, was the descriptive name given to the southeast part of what is today the Eastern Cape of South Africa. Kaffraria, i.e., the land of the Kaffirs, is no longer an official designation (with the term kaffir, originally the Arabic term for a non-believer in Islam, now considered an offensive racial slur in South Africa).
