Significance behind the project name:
!Khure Africa - The Story is the African Wind *
!Khure Africa - The Story is the African Wind *
The /xam San peoples believed that if you listen carefully to the wind, stories of the people and the land would reveal themselves: “the story is the wind, the wind is the story”. The /xam had no word for a large region such as southern Africa, our study area; we therefore add the word Africa to give the flavour of a more regional wind that must have embedded in it the story of the Earth.
