Khoisan group evicted from Union Buildings threaten to report Ramaphosa to Trump

South African authorities evicted the Khoisan community from the Union Buildings on Monday after a six-year occupation, following a court order from December 11, 2024.
The Khoisan group demands recognition as the country's first indigenous people and wants benefits similar to the Black majority.
They also seek the abolition of the term 'Coloured' used in official documents and the return of their land taken during white-minority rule.
The Department of Public Works stated that no individual has the right to occupy public space meant for all South Africans.
