Name the problems faced by the Bantu as they migrated southwards?
Resistance and conflicts with indigenous peoples (e.g., Khoisan, Pygmy groups)
Diseases such as malaria and sleeping sickness (tsetse-borne trypanosomiasis)
Environmental barriers: dense tropical rainforests, deserts (e.g., Kalahari), mountains and rivers
Difficulty keeping and moving livestock where tsetse flies were prevalent
Adapting crops and farming techniques to new soils and climates
Scarcity of water or fertile land in some regions
Internal social pressures and competition for land and resources
Loss of population or slowed movement due to disease, warfare, or poor harvests
