 === Ikhapara dance ===
 The '''Ikhapara dance''' done by the Khoi Khoi people is one of the oldest dance forms of indigenous South Africa. Traditionally performed as a circle trance dance around a fire, the Ikhapara dance is still performed until this day. Its modern version has elements of colonialism as the accompanying instrumentation includes guitar and violin, and the outfits adorning the dances are commonly known as ‘working class clothes’.done by the Khoi Khoi people is one of the oldest dance forms of indigenous South Africa.

 === Griqua Ratelgat Development Trust ===
 Valerie Mentoor and Jan Joseph of the Griqua Ratelgat Development Trust say their vision took form in 2003 when the Trust started eco-cultural and historical tourism to enlighten others about the Griqua. “One of our aims was that through this project our people would gain back the culture that they lost because of colonisation and apartheid,” they explained of their initiatives.

	The [[Griquas]] lived in the Western Cape and to this day celebrate May 11 as Ratelgat-Day – also known as Griqua Volk-Day – in honour of one of their leaders Andrew Abraham Stockenström who was born on this day in 1923. Stockenström’s birthday was chosen because of the sacrifices he endured to ensure that the Griqua attain land ownership rights of the Ratelgat farm which is now a space that offers insight into Griqua and Khoi-San culture and traditions.
