@VamatiTuli Thank you, if I'm away from twitter for extended periods I'm trying to garner support to fight these myths that are being perpetuated and to expose the people who are actively perpetuating them. People want to benefit from our pain and suffering.

[Khoenā @Khoena]

Please take a stand and fight for your people the same way you did all those centuries ago. Please fight against the perpetuation of divisive colonial myths, pseudo history, ethnocide and cultural misappropriation. Your people need you now more than ever.

[Khoenā @Khoena]

As the debate for restitution rages on, our antagonists will use the weakest amongst us, whisper sweet nothings into their ears to pit us against one another just as they have done throughout history.

[Khoenā @Khoena]

1652 is the worst year in the history of our existence.

[Khoenā @Khoena]

History, identity and cultural appropriation is a serious problem in South Africa.

[Jamil F. Khan @JamilFarouk]

Tell me again to move on. Tell me again white supremacy is just figment of my imagination. Tell me again Apartheid is over. Tell me again.

[Khoenā @Khoena]

Let's unite and stand together as one people against white supremacy. They can only divide us only if we allow them to.

[Khoenā @Khoena]

Between 1904 to 1908 German colonists perpetrated one of the worst genocides in history in Namibia (then South West Africa). The survivors were interned in concentration camps, women and children repeatedly raped, maimed, dismembered and subjected to inhumane racial experiments.

[Khoenā @Khoena]

South Africa is a circus show.

@LammBoz No you’re not because you failed to answer my question. This is not about you. It’s about what’s on our South African emblem. I have Khoisan relatives which I last saw back in 2000 at my grandpa’s funeral.This is disturbing because they’re a part of us and no one cares about them

[Khoenā @Khoena]

The Khoisan myth was the brainchild and pet project of nazi white supremacists in the killing fields of Namibia after San, Nama and Herero were slaughtered like vermin. It has now been adopted nationally and perpetuated by a supposedly democratic government here in South Africa.

[Khoenā @Khoena]

When you have less than 10,000 saying there's no such a thing as Khoisan, it's a colonial term coined by a zoologist during genocidal campaigns, while on the other hand you have millions shouting Khoisan Khoisan, the voices of the former will always be obscured and drowned out.

[Zindzi Mandela @ZindziMandela]

The Khoisan praise singer gave me goosebumps 🙌🙌🙌 and I don't even know what he's saying. Wow💓

[Khoenā @Khoena]

Mr Tim, the langauge is ǀXam, the language of ǀXam-ka-ǃkʼe. Khoisan is a dehumanising colonial term coined in 1928 by a German zoologist named Leonhard Schultze who carried out inhumane experiments on San, Nama and Herero. The term has since been adopted by racist opportunists.

[Tim Modise @TimModise]

Fair enough. The point I was making was that our leaders adopted that motto to be the country’s inspiration in order to forge unity and advance the nation. I’m questioning whether we are still headed in that direction. It’s original expression is in Khoisan.

[Khoenā @Khoena]

If people could leave San out of this Khoisan kumbaya song and dance I would be very happy.

[Khoenā @Khoena]

People who insist that they are Khoisan have ulterior motives such as falsely claiming to be the first nation of South Africa and a sinister agenda to hide a painful history of genocide, child slavery, human hunting in which their ancestors took part in. The pain never goes away.

[Khoenā @Khoena]

The dogma and rethoric of opportunists who claim they are indeed Khoisan are perfectly aligned with those of boer white supremacists. They both use the same colonial pseudo-history and myths as weapons to dehumanise and exlude people from land restitution.

[Khoenā @Khoena]

Apartheid misclassification is being exploited to the fullest extent.

[Khoenā @Khoena]

Post apartheid people who are neither San nor Khoi started putting on loincloth and running around claiming to be the nonexistent Khoisan and they have the full support of @myAnc. Most of those people are in fact descendants of the commandos. There's no justice in South Africa.

[Khoenā @Khoena]

There is no such a thing as a khoisan. Please identity with your specific ethnic group and stop hiding behind this unfounded Khoisan narrative. The likelihood that your ancestors also settled here are very high especially without the second appellation in the term Khoisan.

[Janari Korana @Derrick_67]

@Kgomo389 Nope! Because they came here and overstayed their visit,when they both settled on #Khoisan land.
