Discussion | KhoiSan leader recognition applications deadline looms: Chief Stanley Peterson

Applications for the recognition of KhoiSan Traditional leaders will close on Thursday this week, with threats to take the matter to court already being made. Khoi and San leaders claim the requirements for recognition are unfair compared to those of other cultural communities, like the amaXhosa and amaZulu nations. Some have vowed to petition the Constitutional Court for a declaratory order. Some 138 submissions were received from the various Khoi and San communities, mostly from the Western and Eastern Cape. Proving eligibility was an extensive process, and included signatures and evidence of promoting cultural practices, among others. Government recognises the Nama, Griqua, San, Korana and the Cape Khoi as among the communities, who can seek recognition. The Griqua leader Stanley Peterson says he obtained 37,000 signatures.
