Restoration of the First Peoples of South Africa (Khoi)
The Bible is clear that God decided to scatter the people over the face of the whole earth.
And they said, Come, let us build us a city and a tower whose top reaches into the sky, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered over the whole earth.
8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from that place upon the face of the whole earth, and they gave up building the city.”
Genesis 11:4
The people/ tribe/ nations that came to make their home at the Southern most tip of Africa were the Khoi-San. We call these people grouping the First People Nations.
The First People nations established the foundation for the spiritual realm in that area where they came to stay. The Khoi-San developed a unique religious belief by combining the worshipping of nature, shamanism and some occult practises.
As such they up set a foundation of pagan belief as the basis for South Africa’s spirituality. These people welcomed the settlers to Cape Town with open arms and without any understanding of the consequences that could follow. The Khoi-San were severely impacted with many dying from the scourge of small-pox introduced by the European ships that docked in Cape Town. Later the settler militias (commandos) literally hunted these people in what can only be described as wanton genocide.
History has shown that the Khoi-San have been persecuted, exploited and raped by every tribe of people who later came to stay. Intercessors/ church leaders and businessmen have come to an understanding that the Khoi-San have a unique role to play in the spiritual destiny of South Africa.
The Khoi Heritage Foundation
A group of Khoi pastors have in conjunction with other spiritual leaders, embarked on a path of restoration. This entails not only repentance for the pagan belief system, but the acceptance of their mandate of leadership in respect of spiritual matters in South Africa.
We are honoured to have been asked to take part in this journey of restoration. We now serve on the Advisory Board of the Khoi Heritage Foundation of South Africa.

God se Eindtyd Profetiese Plan vir die Bruin Mense van Suid-Afrika (Book soon available in English)
The book covers the identity, vision and healing of Coloured People of Southern Africa as a first people nation of the African Continent- a- foundation nation! For many centuries this precious people who had to exist in an abyss of oppression and denial were stripped of their true identity. This book lifts the veil and reveals the true identity of the Coloured People as well as the ancient Khoi people and endeavours to answer the many questions there about.
God has a dream for every people, tongue, tribe and nation! Psalm 126:2 "When the Lord made a change in Zion's fate, we were like men in a dream. Then our mouths were full of laughing, and our tongues gave a glad cry; they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them."
The fate of the Coloured People of Southern Africa is busy changing. Come and discover God's dream about, and for you and your descendants. The time for rejoicing is here!
Comments by readers of the book are reflected in the following letter received:
"I am crying as I find myself in the pages of this book. Thank you for lifting the veil and bringing answers into my confusion about my identity which I struggled with so much, for so long. How God has blessed me to make me part of this foundation nation. I have come home at last!"
