In less than ten years, the Khoi and the San people will have a bible in their own language – known as !Xun.
With the help of the Bible Society South Africa, a group of the Khoi and San from across the continent are currently translating the holy book.
The translations are currently taking place at Platfontein near Kimberley in the Northern Cape.
Bible Society of South Africa’s project manager Masenyani Baloyi says the process will be beneficial to the indigenous group.
“The bible has on average 33 thousand verses. Then I have divided those verses into how many verses a day must be translated… 20 verses a day… to deliver the bible in nine years”
