- ItemOpen AccessAn investigation into the supposed loss of the Khoikhoi traditional religious heritage amongst its descendants, namely the Coloured people with specific references to the question of religiosity of the Khoikhoi and their disintegration(1990) Nissen, Andrew ChristoffelThis study is about the Khoikhoi, known as the "Hottentots" who are today no longer to be found in their original state in South Africa. It deals with their religion nnd disintegration, especially the land issue. The author upholds that there are remnants of Khoikhoi religion and cultural elements present among the descendants of the Khoikhoi, nnmely the Coloured people, especially those in the Cape. These Khoikhoi religious and cultural elements give the Coloured people a dignified continuation with their forebearers. The author also demonstrates that the Khoikhoi were religious people in spite of misconstrued perceptions of their being, culture and traditions. These elements the author further states should be included in the discipline of African theology.
