South Africa has reburied the remains of at least 63 Khoi and San people after they were dug up many years ago and sent to Europe for research. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said the practice was “rooted in racism and used to advance theories of European racial superiority.” On Monday, officials and traditional leaders gathered for the reburial. The remains had been sold to museums and universities. The reburied ones came from The Hunterian Museum in Glasgow. Ramaphosa said most European countries must do more to acknowledge the indignity suffered by Africans through colonialism and consider paying reparations.
