The Khoi and the San were the earliest inhabitants of South Africa, the latter roaming as hunter gatherers for tens of thousands of years.
Khoi and San leaders are celebrating after developers were told to halt construction on land said to be sacred.
About two months ago, the Western Cape High Court granted an urgent interdict against developers working for the US-based company Amazon which is building its Africa head offices in Cape Town.
The Black River Observatory site is allegedly sacred to many first-nations people.
Groups representing Khoisan indigenous community, one of the earliest inhabitants of southern Africa, approached the Cape Town High Court on January 19, 2022 to stop the construction of Amazon's 70,000-square meter Africa headquarters on land they regard as sacred.
The political window of opportunity is closing fast on South Africa’s first peoples. With every passing year, their centuries-old land claims get harder to verify, and their children grow increasingly indifferent toward the Khoisan cause. And in the end capitalism might just succeed in banishing the legacy of the Khoi and the San to a distant memory.
