International condemnation of Botswana over Bushmen - Survival International
15.10.13
International condemnation of Botswana over Bushmen - Survival International: Most Kalahari Bushmen are currently required to apply for restrictive one-month permits to enter the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR), and face being arrested for hunting, their main source of livelihood.
In July, the Bushmen’s British lawyer Gordon Bennett was barred from entering Botswana and put on a ‘visa list’ ahead of an important High Court hearing, where he was due to defend the tribe’s right to free access to their land in the CKGR. Mr Bennett had previously fought three court cases on behalf of the Bushmen, all of which were successful. He was given no explanation for his ban from the country and the latest case was dismissed over technicalities.
