Site History
The Heritage Park forms part of the land claim settlement that the Khomani San were awarded in March 1999. The 25 0000 ha of land that they own in the park is a contract national park (allowing for private rather than state ownership). The park was one of the last areas in South Africa where San were able to live, hunt and gather freely, up until the establishment of the Kalahari Gemsbok Park in the 1930s after which people were gradually rounded up and finally completely evicted from the park in the mid 1970s. Subject of a historical land claim that was settled in 1999, initiated by Regopstaan Kruiper and finalised by Dawid Kruiper.
