When will we see equality
histories retold of First Nations People?
Stories of Xhoré & Autshumato
both who resisted in the 17th century
Autshumato not your naked beachcomber
but an influential polyglot
Camissa (the sweet river) on Huri #Oaxa (Table Mountain) / overflowing !khúsib (wealth)
Sida ge ra tsoatsoa ( We are ready)
mî te sada |garubes (telling our stories)
Toa tama !khams ge
(the struggle continues)
Not hearing our true stories
history giving fake believes
Doman who resisted the VOC
yet he lost his life without any peace
Mama Sarah Baartman mocked
her beauty being maliced
Toa tama !khams ge
we want equal history.

(The poem written by the author is a telling of Khoi Warriors who are totally erased from the history diaspora of RSA; yet each description read is what is or was that happened and or has been told that brought further oppression and certain external factors that oppresses Khoi People still)
