"Your Khoisan ancestry is 20% and yet we have people claiming to be full Khoisan descendants, who have less DNA than that. Much less🤣."
User @Layla shared:
"Pure-blood African😭💕."
User @Mshoza🇿🇦 commented:
"Plot twist: The Bantu are more Khoisan than those who think they are 😩. Especially AmaXhosa, Basotho and BaTswana."
User @EverythingWillBeGroovie said:
"I have a feeling most black South Africans will have the same results 😂."
User @skotlolosa warned:
"South Africans, stop doing this DNA testing thing, guys🥺. It's in CIA files; they created it to hunt down a specific genetic line of 'Jesus bloodline,' it was never about knowing your roots. They're tracking a specific gene in us, they are trying to eliminate the mitochondrial DNA (Khoisan) WITH femicide (it's literally planned). They store your DNA and create clones of you (it's in CIA documents, guys🙄).
User @Chandré De Wet shared:
"It was not a waste. Thank you for doing it. I use it for the matches, so if you were showing up as a relative, it would help me as a coloured person of colour to get more clues on my history and vice versa. It's a starting point to researching even more and breaking the silly stereotypes our country has."
