Swahili incorporates a lot of Arab words as well as words from languages that arrived even later.
The Bantu eventually took over South Africa, driving the San into the desert. I am not sure how long it took. I am not aware of them building cities. That does not seem their thing at all.
are you suggesting that both of my answers are wrong?
