Amase (meaning so true). 99% of us, the classified “coloured” people only know the languages of our colonisers. #MyPeopleMatter #SaveOurLanguages #NotColoured #WeAreStillHere #FirstNations #INDIGENOUS
amase of sowaar as daar nou 'n ǁaes of nasie is in Afrika wie so ge KHOAKAKA was, is dit os KHOI mense in SA.. Maar hoe dan nie..Os wie eintlik die enigste nasie is in Afrika wie majority net os colonisers se woorde ken.
The story of indigenous people in Canada, Australia & New Zealand is the story of the #FirstNation people of Southern Africa. Today the majority of us are marginalised, living in poverty and our resources sold to the highest bidder. #MyPeopleMatter #NotColoured #WeAreStillHere
#WeAreStillHere An eye opening film, screened at the just ended Toronto Film Festival #TFF Brilliant work of art! The story of indigenous people in Canada Australia to New Zealand colonized & cheated out of land & way of life. Their pain is my pain. Their story speaks volumes
This morning I went to go and buy this doek to put it on especially to show my friend we don’t have to culturally assimilate to fit in… we are First Nation people and should be proud of it! (NB: sy is baie kwaad vir my) #MyPeopleMatter #WeAreStillHere #NotColoured #INDIGENOUS
I am proud of my heritage as an #aboriginal #FirstNation Taras. @GovernmentZA sadly only celebrates #womensday but not @UN #IndigenousDay because it would change the narrative still being pushed almost 3 decades after legislative apartheid ended. #MyPeopleMatter #NotColoured
August 9 is the International Day of the World’s Indigenous People.
Be proud of our heritage.
Protect our indigenous tribes.

@ToroxaD @FabAcademic Not hailing the prof but rather what I felt reading those words. I didn’t say it so I cannot claim what is not mine. I’m not like the colonialist yesteryear and today who claims what rightfully belongs to us. #MyPeopleMatter #NotColoured #WeAreStillHere #aboriginal #FirstNations
A must read for all you naysayers who maintain the #FirstPeople of Southern Africa is no more, those who applaud the @WesternCapeGov and @CityofCT who choose profit our people: https://t.co/5aGNv6CdLE #MyPeopleMatters #NotColoured #WeAreStillHere #INDIGENOUS #TakeYourPowerBack
In South Africa the first and longest #genocide (yes still continuing) is that of our #FirstNations peoples (today classified as coloured) by the hands of Jan Van Liegbek & all subsequent governments of this land #INDIGENOUS #MyPeopleMatter #KhoiKhoi #WeAreStillHere #NotColoured
The first genocide was committed in Namibia .By German imperial forces but you wouldn’t know that would you , we know we all know the Holocaust but very little is known about the Ovaherero and Namaqua Genocide of 1904 to 1908 .
Jan Van Liegbek planted that hedge to keep my ancestors off the land he stole from them. And yet today in 2022 we still are being kept away from our own land. #LandBack #MyPeopleMatter #INDIGENOUS #FirstNations #KhoiKhoi #NotColoured #WeAreStillHere
Am I the only one who finds this uncritical celebration of 363 years of the Cape wine industry problematic? I mean, 1659 is the same year that Van R. planted the wild almond hedge on the border of his farm Bosheuwel (now Bishopscourt), where wine was 1st made, to keep locals out.
Pic about sums it up. #CapeTown #Heatwave It is #SoWrong we were dispossessed of our #ancestral land, and that we went from people practically staying on the beach, to people having to travel hours just to get to a beach! #MyPeopleMatter #WeAreStillHere #NotColoured #INDIGENOUS
I truly hope my ancestral language will be recognised and made official in my lifetime. #GLAD22 #KhoiKhoi #MyPeopleMatter #WeAreStillHere #NotColoured #landback

Wonder who got paid off to dump these toxins in our waters. 250km off the coast of St Helena bay is still too close to home. And once again my people gets shortest end of the stick. #pollution #CORRUPTION #SouthAfrica #MyPeopleMatter #NotColoured #KhoiKhoi #Communities
Chemicals aboard the NS Qingdao bulk carrier will be dumped in the sea off the West Coast (around 250km off St Helena Bay in water more than 3km deep), the SA Maritime Safety Authority said.

Yoh
2de nuwe jaar is incendiary
Parliament is on fire
Yet go to Dischem now and you’re able to buy a range of the same herbs they lock our people up for… dis mos hoe hulle ons cultural heritage and knowledge will verder laat uitsterf. Maar hulle maak hulle laat! #MyPeopleMatter #WeAreStillHere #NotColoured #KhoiKhoi #FirstNations
I suspect I will be either #censored or #sacked sooner than later. Doesn’t mean I will stop fighting for the recognition of my people. #MyPeopleMatter #KhoiKhoi #WeAreStillHere #NotColoured
As the custodians ans original inhabitants of this #Land, many #FirstNation persons has not once seen the inside of a national park. We should be allowed free entry every day to our parks on our land. #MyPeopleMatter #KhoiKhoi #WeAreStillHere #NotColoured #IndigenousRights
You can visit SA’s national parks for free next week – and this new digital tour can help | @BISouthAfrica

Speaking under correction: the matter will be heard in court on 24-25 Nov 21 🗣 fam we should make an appearance and show them that WE WILL NO LONGER STAY SILENT… Anyone know the exact time and court? #NotColoured #FirstNationsMatter #KhoiKhoi #WeAreStillHere #IndigenousRights
Once again today had a look at the face of the homeless on the streets of #CapeTown and the faces looking back at me is my own. Imagine the #trauma of going from being landowners to losing your languages, culture and land. #KhoiKhoi #MyPeopleMatter #NotColoured #WeAreStillHere
Imagine once being the owner of the house and now you’re a backyard dweller in your own property. Imagine once being of the most wealthiest people and now being reduced to being dependent on others to eat. #MyPeopleMatter #WeAreStillHere #RecognitionForMyPeople #IAmKhoi
The same @amazon who made a backhand deal with @CityofCT and @WesternCapeGov to build their African head quarters on #sacred #KhoiKhoi land stolen from us by #colonial thugs. #MyPeopleMatter #WeAreStillHere #NotColoured
DID YOU KNOW 》One of the world's wealthiest human Billionaire Jeff Bezos and his company Amazon Web Services (AWS) have launched their first solar plant in South Africa right here in the Northern Cape? @KashiniMaistry @alvinbotes @ncifsa @PCLouw @AWS @Tes197 @Caucus_Manager
@VernattIvanJr @rihanna Love how you are showcasing her confidence ❤️ I see in her eyes knowledge I wish I had when I was her age… that she’s beautiful despite anyone’s opinion 🙌 wish I knew that I am powerful beyond measure because I AM (not was) #KhoiKhoi #OldestDNA #MyPeopleMatter #NotColoured
