Summary for the Radio Documentary: “The Resilient Spirit of the Khoisan Community”
This documentary delves into the rich heritage and resilience of the Khoisan community, one of the oldest cultural groups in Southern Africa. Tracing their lineage back thousands of years, the Khoisan people, encompassing both the Khoikhoi and San, have faced significant challenges, including colonial land dispossession and cultural erosion.
The feature explores their unique linguistic heritage, characterized by complex click consonants, and highlights their historical role as Africa’s “First People.” Despite enduring marginalization under apartheid and being classified as “colored,” the Khoisan continue to advocate for recognition as Indigenous people, fighting for land restitution and cultural preservation.
