Minister Velenkosini Hlabisa convenes national convention of the Khoi-San leaders, 14 to 16 Feb
The Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA), Mr Velenkosini Hlabisa, is convening a ground-breaking national convention of the Khoi-San leaders to discuss and find permanent solutions to challenges they have raised, including their recognition.
The Convention follows a commitment made by Minister Hlabisa following the number of springboard engagements that were convened with various Khoi-San leaders. It is these engagements and the determination of the Ministry of CoGTA that laid a foundation on which the planned convention will be held, bearing in mind the complexities around the concerns raised.
Minister Hlabisa emphasised a need for constructive discourse ahead, during and post the convention, thus paving the way towards constitutional and statutory recognition of the Khoi-Sun.
From the previous meetings held, Minister Hlabisa stressed that the process being undertaken by the 7th administration CoGTA to engage the Khoi-San stakeholders can not fail. “The process should contribute to bringing about unity and ultimately cooperation on the leadership and the process going forward for the Khoi-San communities”, says Minister.
