The !Xun are an extremely isolated Bushmen group that have largely been without any Christian witness until recently. They are scattered across Angola, Namibia, Botswana and South Africa. Until 2023 the communities of Oluhanda and Olucilenge have been coming together with the !Xun speakers in the Huila province of Angola to collaborate on their respective Bible translations. In 2023 they continued as stand-alone translation projects.
