This will help the Khoisan communities to receive project management and directorship. This trust also allows them to claim Khoisan heritage and historical landmarks and now these communities can benefit. On April 13 in Pietermaritzburg, this trust was formed and all the five bloodlines came to vote members into the trust.

Prince Raymond Trollip led this process and was the provincial chairperson for the day. Now we need our land and restitution and all that belongs to us. Our so-called coloured townships will be part of this claim and our heritage.

This trust will develop the Khoisan and the best people are voted for the trust. Fundraising and approaching countries that are willing to assist to develop the Khoisan nation will start. Prince Trollip is heading the province on the Nareg and also represents the province on the national group.

Government will now have to come to the party. We need government to take the first step. Our projects must be released and we are ready to work hard. Unity and job creation will be the first focus.

Social cohesion will be the backbone of this development. Food security, job creation, safety and security and skills development will also be focussed on as well as working the land and producing enough for all. Thanks to the Minister and the KZN Rural Development office, we will now go to work and make things happen.
