| | Khoisan Will Not Vote: Council |
 | | Khoisan communities such as the Namaqua, Griqua, Outeniqua, Goringhaiqua, Koranna and San had been "forcefully reclassified as coloured" by the previous government, and this had never been addressed by the new government. | | | because the Khoisan are not part of the economic empowerment programme of government and (our) state as a landless, poor proletariat (is) not recognised by government," the council said. | | | The council said in a statement after a weekend meeting in Kimberley that the government had failed hopelessly to address the issues confronting Khoisan people, because the Constitution made no provision for them. |

| | ADDRESS BY DEPUTY PRESIDENT ZUMA TO THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE NATIONAL KHOISAN CONSULTATIVE CONFERENCE |
| | The history of the struggle against colonialism cannot be complete until we record the stories of heroes such as Khoisan leader Autshumato, the first political prisoner on Robben Island and the only man to escape from the island and survive. | | | Firstly, it is the first time that people of Khoisan descent have set aside differences and come together to discuss their future. | | | Khoisan people should also take the initiative collectively to enter into discussion with museums, to evaluate their holdings of Khoisan skeletons found accidentally during construction work, or those that have been excavated in the course of archaeological research. |

| | The joy around the celebrations to mark the return of Baartman's remains was however, tempered by accusations from some in the Khoisan community that the national and provincial governments are hijacking the event for political gain. | | | There are other people who were invited who didn't come because they're unhappy with the arrangements," said Loit Sols, a Khoisan tribesman. | | | Chief Little believes the event is a signal for all those of Khoisan descent to reclaim their identity. |

| | Khoisan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | This article is about the Khoisan ethnic group. | | | Over the centuries the many branches of the Khoisan peoples have been absorbed or displaced by Bantu peoples migrating south in search of new lands, most notably the Xhosa and Zulu, who both have adopted the Khoisan clicks and some loan words. | | | The Khoisan languages are noted for their click consonants. |

| | Many Khoisan people were killed in warfare with European colonists and with other African people. | | | Since the extensive political and social changes in South African and Namibian society began in the 1990s, some people of Khoisan origin have been vigorously asserting new forms of identity in an attempt to revive their cultural heritage. | | | Despite differences in language and way of life, Khoisan people shared common patterns of kinship, territorial organization, rituals and religious beliefs. |

| | This was certainly a common sentiment among the various Khoisan representatives who spoke at the discussion forum, whose overriding concerns were with the restitution of their land and the right of self-determination. | | | Whereas the latter did not result in any form of unified resolutions or plan of action, there was a general sense of heightened solidarity between the different groups after the meeting. | | | Archival and more recent photographs of anthropologists and others who have worked among Khoisan are juxtaposed with those of nineteenth and early twentieth century Khoisan communities. |

| | The Khoikhoi culture were responsible for the discovery and widespread use of Sceletium tortuosum (Kanna), which is gaining in popularity around the world. | | | The word 'Khoisan' is used in a broader term to describe both the Khoikhoi as well as the San or 'Bushmen' as if they were one people sharing a common culture. | | | The Khoikhoi called themselves 'the real people' or Khoi-na, to distinguish themselves from other groups such as the San (SoaQua or SonQua), named Bushmen by the colonists. |
