Allow Kalahari Bushmen access to water on their traditional land.

The Botswana High Court yesterday (21st of July 2010) said the Bushmen people were not entitled to use a well already established on their traditional land in the Kalahari Game Reserve or excavate a new one. In 2006, another court allowed the Bushmen to return to desert-like homelands where diamond mining claims and a new luxury tourist lodge led to their eviction by the government. Hundreds returned and their leaders protested that they were denied water to drive them away again.

Dear President Ian Kharma,
We ask that the Khoisan people of Botswana be allowed to access water on their ancestral lands. We sincerely request that their ancient and valued culture be given a chance to flourish. We appeal to you to find ways to allow them to live in peace and harmony with the environment and so enhance the well being of Botswana and humankind.
