The Bushmen Of Southern Africa - Slaughter of the Innocent

Bushmen were hunting and gathering, painting, and mining copper, thousands of years ago. They were the first people of Africa. Deadly shots with their bows and poisoned arrows, they were, in their heyday, Lords of the Desert.' 'They fought extremely bravely for their land, and lost. Today, they have been reduced to an underclass - dispossessed, despised and degraded. Just in time - one is tempted to say, miraculously - the Mandela government saved them from extermination in South Africa. Now, in Botswana's Central Kalahari Game Reserve, set aside specially for them by the British in 1961, they are making their last stand, refusing to be evicted in order to benefit diamond mining and tourism.
