On Friday we KARE or praise Women's Day in South Africa; but have we forgot about it's also International Indigenous People Day.
Well it's also not a mistake that these 2 days co exist; since in the KHOI custom....a TARAS or true Women are seen as the leader of the household.
Also the Honorable Taras as described by Hahn (1889) were the conveyors of Culture. The name Tradouw's Pass in the Overstrand Municipal jurisdiction reminds us also about the Women important value. Seeing that she crossed the mountain.
The task of boys being educated was entrusted to HER. The water snake initiation ritual which celebrates the girl's puberty to woman was her responsibilities even though the men was responsible training boys to be herdboys.
So does this mean why our Government hesitant to make KhoiKhoi an official language is because these stories tells the truth about the real Stories of South Africa?
As we know that a Language tells stories about who you are and what your thoughts and SUPUDANA #GŪA#AI or cognitive assonance is
Only time shall tell. We must also MU#UI or Acknowledge these phenomenal women in KhoiKhoi History
