The Khoisan have described as both insulting and culturally insensitive the branding of their traditional Rain Dance

SAfm — The Khoisan community has described as both insulting and culturally insensitive the branding of their traditional ritual Rain Dance by a wine making company in the Northern Cape. The company, Namaqua Wines, has used the Khoisan illustration on their wine boxes labelled "Rain Dance" seemingly without the full understanding of the significance of the ritual dance. The DAK Network, a Khoisan organisation deriving its name from the Khoisan icons Doman, Autshomao and Krotoa says the branding has been done without any consultation from the Khoisan community. DAK Network's interim chairperson, Danie Van Wyk says the company refuses to meet with them over the issue.
