Return our land for peace sake

All our land was taken by the Group Areas Act and municipalities must be returned now

Editor – 
Our land, heritage and historical landmarks must be returned to us, the Khoisan. Cape Flats is just one of the many.

The courts will have to rule as we reclaim everything that belongs to us as Khoisan. All our land was taken by the Group Areas Act and municipalities must be returned now.

Zaailaager extends across the whole of Estcourt, if you wanted to know how far it goes. When we were forcefully removed from rural areas and placed into the townships, the Group Areas Act took all the land that we were forced to leave and that was due to the Group Areas Act.

We are the only group of people that was classified into something else, such as ‘coloureds’. The only time the country will experience peace is after the return of the Khoisan land to the owners.

The people that were marching against the Khoisan should be locked up in prison because that act was unconstitutional.

All our claims will go through the courts and we need good lawyers. We need our land, yesterday. We don’t want your money; we want our land that God gave to us.
Prince Raymond Trollip
