We are not free until the Khoi-San is free.
The first nation finds themselves treated as the last nation, the time has come and it is now that our voice must be heard.
The treatment that we have received can no longer be tolerated.
We want government to place a budget for the Khoi-San aside.
As the first nation we don’t have any form of respect to show that our forefathers were here first.
Look and see and tell me how long this is going to go on.
The first nation descendants have no jobs, no development and no support in rebuilding their culture, language and traditions and even returning their land, which was taken from them without payment.
They are killing our forefathers by war; genocide, assassination, massacres and finally being classified coloured.
Some of them accepted the classification and ended up in coloured townships while others moved to the mountains.
I am the newly appointed Commissioner of CRL, which is to promote and protect Section 22 of the Constitution – culture, religion, language, the Khoi-San lost all these valuables and are trying to rebuild.
If you go through history, you will see that what I am saying is true.
So why are you not convicted?
Why don’t you help these people by giving them jobs or some kind of assistance?
It will show that somebody is saying sorry.
What if these people rise to rule what do you expect them to do?
Here in Estcourt it is not only about the Khoi-San people but what about the FET students that are without food?
Somebody has judged these children and condemned them and left them without food.
Thank God for the Muslim businesspeople and others who are trying to keep these children alive while they are schooling.
These children come from a very poor background; we can say the poorest of the poor.
As a Commissioner, it is my duty again to defend these human lives and I call on the church to please let us save these lives.
This is the youth of tomorrow, we just don’t know how God can rise them up in the future – they are the leaders of tomorrow.
I am so sure these children, 100 of them will never forget this place, Estcourt.
Let us save these children, we then can save Estcourt, this is a test. Contact me on 083 664 3264.
