Indigenous peoples worldwide have expressed their solidarity with the Gana and Gwi since they were evicted from their ancestral land in 2002. Representatives of the Innu in Canada, the Ogiek in Kenya, the Yanomami in Brazil and the Aborigines in Australia have strongly condemned the evictions. Photos and footage available.

Extractions: (c)art: Eiselin Jon In april 1994, South Africas first truly democratic elections were held, installing a multiracial government under the charismatic leadership of Nelson Mandela, the first President of a truly democratic South Africa. South Africa is a 'rainbow nation' of many colours and cultures, encompassing Zulu, Tswana, Khosa, Sotho, Indian, Afrikaans and those of British origin. The scars left by the apartheid years are slowly healing, but have left huge inequalities between rich and poor. Despite this, the people are charming hosts, most speak English and all have a fascinating story to tell. South Africans drive on the wrong side of the road... like the Brits taught them. However, overall, they are decent drivers. The crime rate is still far too high, but with a little common sense, travellers can have a perfect, safe holiday. South Africa also is visiting Kruger National Park, listening to Ladysmith Black Mambazo while drinking great wines. So BONA BONA: "Come and have a look!"

Then, in 1995, after the majority government elections, people returned to the area. Initially we lived in tents until we were given subsidies to build houses on 4000ha of land allocated to us on the far side of the Kai !Garib River. We could not use or visit the designated AFNP, though many of us had been born in the park and our relatives are buried there. The community receives some financial contribution from the Park, but we want to be involved in managing the Park. After eight years of negotiations we still have no formal agreement with SANP. This is very frustrating. We are interested in developing tourism and saw this as an opportunity for co-operation with the Park, but we have received no offer of a hand in friendship from management. So we have gone to the Parliamentary Portfolio committee to explain our concerns and our objectives. We now work through the Siyanda District to hold discussions with David Rooi, the Northern Cape Provincial Minister (MEC) for Land, and also officials at National level. We are calling on the MEC to de-proclaim Melkbosrand and return it to us with the objective of developing the Augrabies Falls National Park as a community controlled contract Park.

Extractions: - pastoralism gave more control over food supply and somewhat more intensive exploitation allowed denser population and larger political/judicial systems; however, these systems often did not function continuously throughout the year. Annual migrations would bring people together for part of the year; then they would disperse to other grazing grounds for the remainder of the year. Thus, the degree of control and the level of cohesion were limited. - the Khoikhoi were vulnerable to loss of cattle because their way of life and livelihood depended on this; yet cattle were practically the only commodity which they could trade for European goods. As dependencies on these goods grew, loss of cattle left few economic choices except to become labourers for the white settlers.

The hand-in marks the second anniversary of the forced relocation of hundreds of Gana and Gwi 'Bushmen' from their ancestral land. One year ago Survival presented the first 100,000 signatures to the Botswana government. Amongst the supporters are a delegation of Ogiek hunter-gatherers in Kenya. In a statement they say, 'the heart of the Ogiek people goes out to our brothers and sisters the Gana and Gwi Bushmen... Brothers and sisters: do not let your persecutors make you forget who you are: no matter how far away from it you have been taken, the land and life your forefathers gave you belong to you. Be strong! You will see your land again!' Petitions will be handed in in the USA (Washington, Los Angeles and New York), Belgium, Germany, Japan, UK, Switzerland, Kenya and South Africa. The petition calls on the government to allow the Gana and Gwi to return to their ancestral land.

Extractions: The History of Pinelands During the Influenza Epidemic of 1918, thousands of Capetonians were killed. This convinced Stuttaford that better housing and living conditions were paramount. He approached the acting Prime Minister FS Malan with a substantial gift of money and persuaded the Government to donate the former State Forestry Plantation at Uitvlugt for the development of the Garden City called Pinelands. The Garden City Trust was set up in 1921 where the Trust Deed stated that the main purpose of the Trust was to provide better housing and social conditions for the people. Garden Cities raised the money necessary for the building of roads, drainage and the institution of many other services. Land was divided for houses, civic, social, cultural, recreational amenities, public buildings, churches, schools and other purposes. The original land allocated was 800 acres and was added to in 1940 totalling 1400 acres. All buildings had to conform to the Garden City Regulations and were aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound. In 1923 the foundation stone was laid and government subsidies were made available to the people. Pinelands operated under the unique system of dual management and control between the Municipality and Garden Cities.
Okavango Delta Peoples Of Botswana The Okavango Delta has been under the political control of the Batawana (a tswana subtribe) for several indigenous peoples of Botswana and southern africa. http://www.mindspring.com/~okavango/
Extractions: The Okavango Delta Peoples of Botswana The Bugakwe, Dxeriku, Hambukushu, Wayeyi, and Xanekwe Peoples The Okavango Delta of the Republic of Botswana is a large wetland surrounded by the Kalahari desert . The Okavango is a unique ecosystem and has large populations of African mammals, birds, and other animals. Conservationists have taken a great interest in the preservation of the Delta. Of less interest have been the 100,000 people who call the Delta home. This site is dedicated to the dissemination of information concerning the Okavango Delta Peoples. Who are the Okavango Delta Peoples? The Okavango Delta peoples consist of five ethnic groups, each with its own ethnic identity and language. They are Hambukushu (also known as Mbukushu, Bukushu, Bukusu, Mbukuschu, Ghuva, Haghuva), Dxeriku (Dceriku, Diriku, Gciriku, Gceriku, Giriku, Niriku), Wayeyi (Bayei, Bayeyi, Yei), Bugakwe (Kxoe, Khwe, Kwengo, Barakwena, G/anda) and Xanekwe (Gxanekwe, //tanekwe, River Bushmen, Swamp Bushmen, G//ani, //ani). The Hambukushu, Dxeriku, and Wayeyi are all Bantus who have traditionally engaged in mixed economies of millet/sorghum agriculture; fishing, hunting, and the collection of wild plant foods; and pastoralism. The Bugakwe and Xanekwe are Bushmen who have traditionally practiced fishing, hunting, and the collection of wild plant foods; Bugakwe utilized both forest and riverine resources while the Xanekwe mostly focused on riverine resources. The Hambukushu, Dxeriku, and Bugakwe are present along the
