It’s a good day to be Khoi-San.
That is how Western Cape ANC secretary Faiez Jacobs expressed his immense joy at the National Council of Province’s passage of the Traditional Khoi-San Leadership Bill at a special plenary today. (THURSDAY, JANUARY 10 2019)
The DA opposed the Bill, which was passed by the National Assembly in 2017, which will now be sent to President Cyril Ramaphosa to be signed into law.
Jacobs said: “We are overjoyed at being recognized as indigenous people and are grateful to the ANC. It’s a good day to be Khoi-San. Yes, amid the joy we remember the pain, suffering and genocide of our people. But today is a time to celebrate.”
