The San community at Tsintsabis no longer wants to be associated with their recognised status as marginalised. The community has made a plea for jobs and training opportunities to be considered on par with citizens elsewhere in the country.

Young people from the settlement took to the streets in protest against a lack of opportunities for them, with Mario Ipinge, who led the group, saying the Hai||om and other San tribesmen continue to be left out, even from initiatives implemented at constituency level.
