E/CN.4/2006/78/Add.2 page 20 87. In the case of indigenous communities that were dispossessed of their lands by colonial and discriminatory legislation or practice before the Native Land Act of 1913, positive legal and judicial action should be initiated to enable these communities and individuals to file legitimate claims for restitution within a wider perspective of human rights and transitional justice. Likewise, the Government is urged to provide the necessary resources and technical cooperation to such indigenous communities, enabling them to proceed in this direction. 88. The land restitution process, in terms of collective land rights of indigenous communities, should be accelerated, given the dire needs of many indigenous communities around the country and indigenous communities should be provided with resources and technical cooperation to pursue these claims successfully. Poverty and exclusion 89. Official social and economic statistics should be disaggregated to specify indigenous communities, and special poverty reduction and social services delivery programmes (such as health care, housing, nutrition, education and others) should be designed also to target indigenous communities within South Africa’s efforts to meet its Millennium Development Goals. 90. Poverty reduction strategies focused on the needs of specific groups must include also the indigenous communities, just as they are now focused on women, youth, or people with disabilities. This will require an assessment of the specific needs and requirements of these communities and the use of disaggregated data (which do not exist at present) when monitoring the results of such policies. Social services, education and health 91. The relevant ministries should set up economic, social and human development indicators for indigenous peoples, in order to ensure in official statistics the inclusion of specific data on these peoples, as a basis for effective public policies and programme planning for social services and economic development purposes. 92. High-priority attention should be given to the needs and grievances of the Khomai San in the Kalahari and an independent, accountable, self-financing development authority should be established in consultation with the Khomani San to enable them, among other issues, to manage efficiently the farms that they received as a result of their successful milestone land claim in 1999. 93. The inter-departmental task team for the development of Khoi-San communities should be fully supported at the highest level by all government departments involved and the need to promote and protect the rights of indigenous communities should be acknowledged as a crosscutting human rights issue in all relevant departments.
