Khoisan forgive all those that caused them pain

Khoisan people suffered the pain of being attacked by those who came to South Africa afterwards. Our Bushman King, in his speech, started by forgiving all those who caused them pain.

Yet when we look around, people are still angry and not prepared to forgive. Anger leads to defeat. 20 years into democracy and people are still so angry; this can only lead to war.

Khoisan people, as per South African history, which makes it very clear, are the first people of this land and that is the title to ownership.

Every country in Africa is designed according to its first people. The paintings and art around South Africa tell you who was here first but still these people are still willing to share.

There is enough land to share and for all to live in harmony. The Khoisan are not claiming to take over but to share. The past regime failed with one thing and that was to remove apartheid on time.

The present government is once again failing to maintain social cohesion. I believe that South Africa is awaiting the Khoisan government to bring stability and peace.

We need to forgive each other because what happened in the 1400s and 1800s will never be repeated. Let us not even think in that direction. South Africans need a quick fix and that is forgiving each other.

We claim we are Christians but fail to forgive. All races should leave the land topic and just come to forgiveness. Rightfully this land belongs to God who created it. To use our first nation status over others would be wrong and also to use our majority over others would be wrong too.

The time has come to put our anger aside ad consider forgiveness. Our Constitution says that South Africa belongs to all who live in it. Let us try again to be a rainbow nation. Our youth need a future and if we are so angry, we will soon get into war and destroy that future.
