The rooibos tea industry has paid more than R12m to the San and Khoi-Khoi people following an agreement it signed in 2019 with the two communities and the government.

The payment is part of the implementation of the Rooibos Traditional Knowledge Benefit-Sharing Agreement signed in November 2019.

She said the department had played a key role in the nine-year negotiation process that saw the signing of the agreement that is now one of SA’s success stories in the implementation of the National Environmental Management Biodiversity Act . ‘’The two councils are presently finalising processes and procedures on how the money received will be distributed across the Khoi-Khoi and San communities. The money will be used to assist the communities with their endeavours to protect their traditional knowledge and related biodiversity,’’ said Creecy.
