History of the Eiseb
During the early times of year 1904, there was a conflict and or war that occurred in the context of the HERERO people, that is to say the HERERO people were troubled by the major group of people to take them out of their land thus they used some of the escaping procedures to free themselves from harm caused by the terrorists at the Waterberg juncture, hence the chiefs and all Herero people were smudged.
Botswana is one of the neighboring and or landlocked country that are close to the Eiseb. Mostly the Herero people died in the war as they had no place to escape to, they conjured to the Eiseb river side of the basin, found no help in the desert that links to the Kalahari Desert in Botswana.
Overview of the Botswana desert and Namibia
Most of the Herero people people are found in Namibia and through and because of the wars that happened across the Eiseb and Namibia at large made the migration of the Herero people people into the Kalahari dessert, that is the main reason why the Herero people tribe is also available in Botswana, and are regarded as Batswana people because of the wars that took place at Namibia during the time.[2]
