Tsoro-o-tso San Development Trust launched last Bushmen of Zimbabwe Documentary. This was revealed by the trust's director Davy Ndlovu.
"As we launching the 'Last Bushmen of Zimbabwe Documentary', a number of things came out and these include; Zimbabwe still knows very little about the San people," he said.
"There are people who still believe that the San are not Zimbabweans. People still believe that the San possess powers to vanish into thin air. That the San are resisting change and are impossible people."
He said after the presentation, they agreed to deconstruct the myth around the San, tell the true and correct history about the San.
"Some one suggested that we limit the use of words like minority since the give the impression of inferiority (Minority equals minor)" he said.
"We have to look at the San as a marginalized group (There are two agents, those who marginalize and those who are marginalized)"
He said the museums and monuments suggested that the San start a community museum that would be able to articulate the true story about the cultural heritage of the San.
"Community museums are driven by the community and they promote inclusion, they are community based in nature, they give communities a voice (Freedom of expression)," he said.
