Annexure GKK1
Gorlnghaicona Khoi Khoin _Indigenous Traditional Council Resolution re Uesbeek Park Development/ Twin Rivers
Urban Park Development

Given the urgency of this matter, all notice of this meeting is hereby waived.

Introduction:

Following the meeting held on Sunday 29 May 2022 at the Marion Institute in Athlone, we as the GKKITC National
Executive Council, representing the Goringhaicona Tribe, have taken resolutions, as a tribe, in order to ensure that our
best interests are protected and that we are not misrepresented ever again by any person, and in particular Paramount
Chief Aran or Tauriq Jenkins, in any matter, in respect of the development at the Twin Rivers Urban Park in Observatory
in Cape To~wn, or again in respect of other matters, in the future.

In light of this, the following has been noted by the leadership and tribe of the Goringhaicona:

1. There was never any consultation on the formation or ratification of the Goringhaicona Constitution in March
2021, and whatever PC Aran or Mr Jenkins may have done to give effect to this constitution was not done with
the authority of the National Executive Council or the tribe as a whole;

2. The only valid Constitution is the 2018 Constitution;

3; There was never any approval of the appointment of Supreme High Commissioner Tauriq Jenkins as such and
"Supreme High Commissioner'' is also not a position that exists in Khoisan custom or tradition;

4. There was never any consultation with the Goringhaicona tribe with regards to the applications to the High Court;

5. There has never been any agreement amongst the Goringhaicona to the effect that we shall oppose the Twin
Rivers Urban Park or the Liesbeek development, and many members of the tribe support the development,
particularly due to its economic benefits;

6. The implications and consequences of the High Court Application were never explained to the Goringhaicona by
PC Aran or Tauriq Jenkins, or anyone else;

7. PC Aran is not competent to lead the Goringhaicona or the Khoisan and is acting in his own interests, not in
interests of the Goringhaicona;

8. The legitimacy of PC Aran to lead the Goringhaicona is questionable, and to be investigated thoroughly;

9. It is apparent that numerous misrepresentations have been made to the Court and other Khoisan leaders and
elders by Mr Jenkins, and PC Aran, with regards to the support of the applications to court by various leaders and
elders, and the intentions of the application and legal proceedings.

10. The decision to make the High Court application on behalf of the Goringhaicona by PC Aran and Tauriq Jenkins
was incompetent, unauthorized.
