The Khwalo clan originates from Koisani. The Khwalos are a certain group of Koisani. Looking at the hair of original Koisani I feel it is wrongly grabbed by the SA coloured community, not to say there are no coloureds in the Koisani but it is dominated historically by the Khwalo clan.
The language, the body built, the hair, high cheeck bones, shape of the male and female upper body and bums are found in the Khwalo, Ncuthu, Mlanjana clan indluding some of the coloured communities. Just by looking at both races you can see their origin is of Koisan desent.
