The Cederberg Indigenous Peoples Association (CIPA) is dedicated to the protection and promotion of the deep-rooted cultural heritage and traditional knowledge systems of our indigenous communities. From the rhythmic movements of the annual New Year’s Eve Rieldans Festival at Nuwwplaas to the generational stewardship of Rooibos and other wild species, our work ensures that sacred traditions remain a vibrant part of our community’s future. By fostering this cultural continuity, we empower our people to thrive through self-determination while preserving the unique identity that connects us deeply to the Cederberg landscape.
