Should the people of African descent be caled black or coloured?

In the South African, Namibian, Zambian, Botswanan and Zimbabwean context, the term Coloured (also known as Bruinmense, Kleurlinge or Bruin Afrikaners in Afrikaans) refers or referred to an ethnic group of people who possess sub-Saharan (negroid) ancestry, but not enough to be considered Black under the law of South Africa. They were technically mixed race and often possess substantial ancestry from Europe, Indonesia, India, Madagascar, Malaya, Mozambique, Mauritius, St. Helena and Southern Africa.
