- Description
- In March 2026, 63 Khoi and San ancestors were finally laid to rest in South Africa, more than a century after their remains were taken. The reburial, led by President Cyril Ramaphosa at the Kinderlê monument in the Northern Cape, marked a powerful moment of historical redress.
Many of the remains had been removed between 1868 and 1924, during a time when colonial and later apartheid systems dehumanised Indigenous communities. The Khoi and San were not only dispossessed of their land, but also denied dignity in death—their ancestors’ remains treated as objects to be collected, studied, and displayed in service of racist ideologies.
This ceremony was more than a formal event—it was a homecoming. carrying deep emotional and cultural weight. Their return and reburial—honoured through traditional rites and a night vigil—brought long-awaited closure to descendant communities and restored dignity to those who were taken.
