Following Africa Day reflections this week, I found myself revisiting this video recorded for last year’s Kannaland KonneKt Festival October 2025 in collaboration with Heal the Hood.

Although we never got the opportunity to screen it during the festival, it feels important to share it now as part of ongoing conversations around language, identity and belonging.

Een van die gesprekke wat ons ondersoek het, was taal, identiteit en waar ons voel ons hoort. Veral rondom Kaaps, en die belangrikheid daarvan om die verskillende maniere waarop Afrikaans gepraat word, te erken en te vier.

Professor Quentin Williams, linguist and researcher, speaks here about the Kaaps Dictionary project developed together with Emile Jansen and others.

Ons was baie gelukkig toe Heal the Hood verlede jaar saam met verskillende skole gewerk het. Die manier waarop hulle taal, Kaaps en storievertelling benader het, het ruimte geskep vir kinders om hulself natuurlik uit te druk, kreatief te wees en met trots te praat oor waar hulle vandaan kom.

Taal dra herinnering, geskiedenis, weerstand, kreatiwiteit en identiteit. Om mense se taal te erken, is ook om hul stories en herkoms te erken.

Language carries memory, history, resistance, creativity and identity. Honouring the way people speak is also part of honouring where they come from.

If you would like to connect with Professor Quentin Williams around the Kaaps Dictionary project, including access for schools or libraries, please feel free to reach direct to him at his team at UWC.

Africa Day 2026

Today I found myself thinking about kanna, indigenous knowledge, and what it means to remember we are African while living in the Klein Karoo.

Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) has deep roots in this region and was traditionally used by indigenous Khoi and San communities for healing, ceremony and wellbeing. The Klein Karoo itself is believed to have been named after kanna - Kannaland.

I also bumped into Belinda Oreg , of Vetkat Art Foundation, today - artist, cultural custodian and one of the people in Ladismith who quietly opened another doorway for me in understanding indigenous knowledge, place, art and identity differently.

Dit het my laat d**k aan hoeveel wysheid nog om ons leef, as ons stadig genoeg raak om werklik te luister.

Wat beteken Afrika Dag vir jou?
