Answer:
The so called Bantu migrations is highly suspect. In my view it was probably invented by Euro-centrists who want to falsely claim that most of Southern Africa originally belonged to the Khoisan people, and not the Bantus, and that the Bantus are later arrivals just as the European Colonizers are later arrivals. So far the Bantu migrations theory has only linguistic evidence and no physical archaeological evidence. This erroneous theory has come to be accepted as though it actually happened, when in fact it is a theory that lacks the evidence to back it up.
Explanation:
In my own view, it is highly probably that the so called Bantu migrations never really happened. Remember the Bantu expansion is believed to have taken place in at least two waves, between about 3,000 and 2,000 years ago (approximately 1,000 BCE to 1 CE).
However, attempts to trace the exact route of the expansion, to correlate it with archaeological evidence and genetic evidence, have not been conclusive; thus although the expansion is widely accepted as having taken place, many aspects of it remain in doubt or are highly contested.
It is highly probable that the so called Bantu people are autochthonous people who have always been where they are in small numbers, and just multiplied in numbers as they transformed from nomadic to a sedentary way of life.
