We made submissions to the State on the Bill and assisted especially the Goab Paul Swartbooi in the Northern Cape with the remains of Khoikhoi ancestors displayed in Kleinzee Museum, which is an ongoing activity.

The Xoraxoukhoe House launched its own Facebook Page administered by myself and Council Member Johnathan Muller. Bradley van Sitters and Johnathan Muller are my historical advisers on all the affairs. We in the Xoraxoukhoe House are prepared to engage with all positive thinkers in order to unite the Khoi- Bushman Nation. Our theme for this year is calling on Khoi-Bushman people in building a United Khoi-Bushman Nation in order to confront this dictatorial government. We will continuously adhere to our principles of claiming all of our Indigenous Identity, knowledge Systems, Language, Sacred, Burial and Ceremonial Sites, all Natural Resources and our land that was left behind by the Ancestors. Our main objective is to develop a National Khoi-Bushman Royal Council that will be the supreme structure to engage the current government. Our slogan Toa tama !khams ge (the struggle will continue).
