TSDT’s work to preserve Tjwao
The Tsoro-o-tso San Development Trust presents community-led work in Tjwao language preservation, San cultural heritage, education, and research.
- For
- Tjwao-speaking communities and children learning the language
- Worth noticing
- The homepage says language decline is shaped by displacement, marginalisation, limited institutional support, and the dominance of Ndebele, English, and Shona.
Field notes
The homepage frames language work as connected to stories, identity, ecological knowledge, and community memory, rather than as vocabulary instruction alone. It describes children taking part in collaborative classroom activities and says the pilot program is intended to align with education priorities. The site names founder Davy Ndlovu and describes his background as a minority-languages and cultural researcher with 13 years’ experience as a contemporary historian.
