Their diamond-rich land in South Africa was taken. Now they want it back

The Nama people of South Africa are fighting to reclaim their diamond-rich ancestral lands in Namaqualand, which have been ravaged by the lucrative diamond-mining industry. Despite a legal victory over land rights in 2003, the community has yet to see significant benefits. Challenges include economic decline, social issues, and environmental damage left by mining companies. Nama leader Martinus Fredericks is demanding accountability and proper restitution for the Nama people, highlighting the need for sustainable development and fair resource management.
