Working Group of Indigenous Minorities in Southern Africa

Working Group of Indigenous Minorities in Southern Africa (WIMSA) "was established in 1996 in response to the requests of San communities across southern Africa for the establishment of an NGO which would effectively represent their problems, needs and concerns.

"WIMSA's regional office was set up in Windhoek, Namibia in order to co-ordinate efforts for San living across the entire southern African region. The WIMSA Team contains both San and non-San members of staff, although the organisation is governed by a Board consisting of San people from South Africa , Botswana and Namibia . WIMSA is also represented in Botswana by ‘WIMSA Botswana' which operates from a small office from D'kar, near Ghanzi."
