The Khoisan people, the indigenous inhabitants of Southern Africa, are seeking recognition and their rightful place in South Africa. Chief Khoisan has been leading a seven-month protest outside the president's office in Pretoria, camping with his family to call on the government to take meaningful action. Although the government suggested making the Nama dialect an official language in the Northern Cape, this proposal was deemed unacceptable as it only covers one of the nine provinces. Despite their struggle, the protesters receive support and donations from sympathetic individuals who are moved by their story. The protest site, the Union Buildings in Pretoria, is strategically important, as it is the heart of the government, allowing visibility for their cause to the president and deputy president. The outcome of their demands for recognition remains uncertain.
