(5) September 2022 - Constituting of the Oudtshoorn-Khoi community
Snyman met with the loyal PARC supporters and members in the community who regarded themselves as Khoi
people to discuss the application to be recognise as Khoi people in South Africa by the government, under the
Traditional and Khoi-San Leadership Act of 2019. The members felt that we should go ahead with the application
for everyone that is interested to be identified as such. Hence then the Oudtshoorn-Khoi Community was constituted
in September 2022. Ever since then we are still taking guidance and waiting on the national Commission on
Khoi-San Matters (CKSM) on certain things that needs to be done. But, we continue our fight against the
denial/ontkenning of our cultural identity as Khoi people locally, provincially and nationally.
(4) 25 March 2022 - The national Commission on Khoi-San Matters (CKSM) launches recognition application process.
1 September 2021 - The Commission on Khoi-San Matters (CKSM) started its work.
1 April 2021 - The Traditional and Khoi-San Leadership Act 3 of 2019 was signed into law.
(3) 28 January 2021 - Not racial identity, but cultural identity.
On 28 January 2021 Snyman released his first novel, the Blind man's race. In this book he tries to describe how
a court case would look like if race classification would be put on trail. He also tells about the history of the
Afrikaans and the Khoi-language. The need for a cultural identity is also highlighted. He was one of the first
students to do the Khoekhoegowab on-line language course at the University of Cape Town in September 2020.
(2) 23 September 2020 - Charged by the Education Department for being African.
As part of PARC's civil disobedience campaign, we encourage all South African's to tick the African race block
on all forms when applying for a state job or whenever they had to fill out their race data. In September 2020
Glen Snyman became the first person to be charged in a new South Africa for ticking the African block on a
job application form. The Education Department told him that he was not an "African", but a Coloured. As soon
as the news of this charge was first published in the media on the morning of his hearing, the 4 October 2020,
the Education Department immediately withdrew the charges. The news became world news. It was a victory
for PARC! All people that live in South Africa is an "African" / Afrikaan / Afrikane. The race classification law, the
Population Registration Act of 1950 was scrapped by parliament in 1991. No law currently exist to determine
your race. You can be and tick whatever race you want to be and tick.
(1) 1 October 2010 - Founding of PARC: People Against Race Classification - www.parcsa.co.za.
On the 1st of October 2010 we started an activist group / drukgroep, PARC, to fight the government's race classification
policies. Whenever you have to apply for a state job or you have to fill out a government form, you have to every time
indicate your racial lineage. We as well as other Khoi-San grouping across South Africa demanded government to do
away with the race blocks on forms (Coloured, Black, African, White and Indian). We said that Apartheid is long time over
and that this was a new form of Apartheid discrimination. We suggested that government use a poverty barometer to
address past injustices and those people that are still in need of jobs, etc. PARC even took the matter to the South African
Parliament and was interviewed by parliament on the 24 February 2022. We hope to take this matter to a High Court in
the near future. We have been in this fight for the recognition of our cultural identity as Khoi people for the last 13 years.
