The Working Group of Indigenous Minorities in Southern Africa The regional non-governmental organization known as the Working Group of Indigenous Minorities in Southern Africa (WIMSA) was founded in January, 1996 at the request of the San of Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. WIMSA serves as a lobbying and advocacy organization which seeks to promote the rights of San. WIMSA has a head office in Windhoek, Namibia and a branch office in D’Kar, Botswana. It has a full-time coordinator, currently Axel Thoma. Joram /Useb is the assistant to the coordinator. WIMSA has a board of trustees consisting of 9 members from Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa. Each represents a community-based organization or association, such as the Khwe Communal Property Association, the Nyae Nyae Conservancy, Maiteko Development Trust, and the Southern Kalahari San Association. Position on the board include the chairperson, currently Kxao Moses =Oma, a secretary, Chief Kipi George, and a treasurer, Petrus Valbooi. At the request of the San representatives participating in the D’Kar Conference in June, 1995, a project proposal for the establishment of the Working Group of Indigenous Minorities in Southern Africa was drawn up by Braam LeRoux and Axel Thoma.

ISSUES Trafficking in Persons The Phantom of Racism Racism and Indigenous Peoples "Racism has historically been a banner to justify the enterprises of expansion, conquest, colonization and domination and has walked hand in hand with intolerance, injustice and violence." - Rigoberta Menchú Tum, Guatemalan Indigenous Leader and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate "The Problem of Racism on the Threshold of the 21st Century" "Doctrines of Dispossession" - Racism against Indigenous peoples Historians and academics agree that the colonization of the New World saw extreme expressions of racism - massacres, forced-march relocations, the "Indian wars", death by starvation and disease. Today, such practices would be called ethnic cleansing and genocide. What seems even more appalling for contemporary minds is that the subjugation of the native peoples of the New World was legally sanctioned. "Laws" of "discovery", "conquest" and " terra nullius " made up the "doctrines of dispossession", according to Erica Irene Daes, chairperson/rapporteur of the United Nations Working Group on Indigenous Populations, in a study on indigenous peoples and their relationship to land. Specifically, in the fifteenth century, two Papal Bulls set the stage for European domination of the New World and Africa.

TERRA.WIRE DURBAN, South Africa (AFP) Sep 17, 2003 A global truth and reconciliation commission should be set up to investigate crimes committed against indigenous peoples during conservation efforts, the World Parks Congress recommended Wednesday. "Participants recommend governments... to establish a high-level, independent commission on truth and reconciliation on indigenous peoples and protected areas," said a document adopted by delegates on the last day of the congress in South Africa's eastern port city of Durban. For the past 10 days, some 2,500 dignitaries from across the globe have been debating the role of communities living in the world's 100,000 protected areas and how they can benefit from conservation. Some 150 indigenous groups, including the Coica community in the Amazon in South America, the San people from Botswana's Kalahari game reserve and the Katu from a national park in Indonesia, have been using the congress as a platform to plead their case. The plenary adopted a "Durban Accord" and "Durban Action Plan" Wednesday morning, which included a list of recommendations and targets for the next 10 years. The congress adopted a suspension of "all involuntary resettlement and expulsion of indigenous peoples from their lands in connection with protected areas" and advised governments to enact laws "that recognise and guarantee indigenous peoples' rights over their ancestral lands and waters".

It may be reproduced for non-profit educational use if this notice appears on the reproduction. Current International Indigenous Legal News Table of Contents I: Introduction Background Definitions Legal Arguments Present Activities ... Self Determination INTRODUCTION This paper was originally produced in 1992, prior to the INTERNET and the explosion of information it has engendered. In updating it, I have tried to create links to online materials on indigenous peoples rights under international law. This paper is not meant to be a comprehensive guide to information on indigenous people. It is meant to be a guide to researching international law and indigenous peoples rights. Since this paper was finished, S James Anaya has published an excellent treatise on this area, Indigenous Peoples in International Law , New York, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1996, (ISBN 0-19-508620-1), which is recommended reading for anyone interested in the legal treatment of indigenous peoples. As is mentioned below, this paper was originally delivered as part of a program on indigenous peoples rights. Another speaker covered American Indians. Because of that, this paper's coverage of American Indians is limited.

Southern Africa: Program Description SYNOPSIS For these reasons, the overall (and continuing) goal of our work in southern Africa has been to assist the San (also known as the Khwe, Basarwa and Bushmen) groups in southern Africa to secure land tenure in their traditional territories. We have attempted to be both realistic as well as creative in working with our local partners to develop a comprehensive strategy to secure San land tenure. Southern Africa Legal Assistance Project Summary FPW's legal project in southern Africa is our longest standing international commitment and represents, to some extent, the genesis of FPW. We have been involved in the struggle to secure land tenure for the San since 1995 when Rebecca was first approached by John Hardbattle, then coordinator of the First Peoples of the Kalahari. The original request was for assistance in developing alternative income-generating and sustainable economic development projects for the Naro San community in western Botswana. However, while they were in the process of developing an overall economic development strategy, the government of Botswana began to pursue a policy of removing the residents of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve to settlements located outside the Game Reserve. This precipitated an official request for land rights assistance from the First Peoples of the Kalahari (FPK) to FNDI in February, 1996. Since that time, we have continued to work with local and regional organizations in Southern Africa in order to secure San control of their traditional territories. We have moved from a relatively limited relationship with the First Peoples of the Kalahari to a strong relationship with many San organizations in the region. In particular, we have an excellent relationship with the Working Group of Indigenous Minorities in Southern Africa (WIMSA) with whom we are jointly managing the land rights training program in Botswana and Namibia.

News Features San people in southern Africa demand end to social exclusion - By Virginia Muwanigwa Southern African countries home to the San have been challenged to address the latter’s concerns to reduce social exclusion. Statistics provided by the Working Group on Indigenous Minorities in Southern Africa (WIMSA), a regional organization working with San, reveal that there are at least 100,000 of this ethic group in Angola, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The largest group, 46,000, is found in Botswana followed by 38,000 in Namibia, 6,500 in South Africa and 3,400 in Angola. Zambia and Zimbabwe are home to at least 3,500. In all countries, the San are conspicuous in that they exist on the fringes of mainstream society, “with a history of discrimination, poverty, social exclusion, erosion of cultural identity and denial of rights as a group.” Some continue to hunt and gather part time, while most others work for low wages on farms. Rising HIV and AIDS rates, shifts in health, fertility and mortality patterns, sedentary lives and inadequate access to education, social organization and local-level development are other challenges. These challenges have motivated the San towards political mobilization. As members of various local, national and regional organisations, the San have been able to overcome many obstacles in an effort to retain their languages, cultures, and religious beliefs.

South African Hoodia Gordonii the miracle obesity cure? Hoodia was discovered and used by the San tribe (one of South Africa's oldest tribes) since prehistoric times. They chewed the bitter Hoodia Gordonii twice a day to suppress hunger and thirst during long hunting trips. This plant has recently been translated into a miracle obesity cure, P57, with a market potential of US$6 billion. The market for a natural appetite suppressant or weight loss product is huge. In the United States alone there are between +/- 50 million clinically obese people and in some developed countries obesity spiraled out of control. Hoodia looks like an ordinary cactus with thin, thorny fingers and it grows about 20 inches tall in the reddish sands of southern Africa’s Kalahari Desert. In 2002 Hoodia Gordonii reversed a worldwide history of exploitation of indigenous peoples. The San tribe could easily have been victims of biopiracy. The particularly disconcerting aspect of this case is that it was a governmental organisation, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research. The CSIR is an institution that was shaped by the apartheid regime it had served well for 40 years. In 1996 scientists from the CSIR isolated the hunger-suppressing chemical component in Hoodia, now known as

The Aboriginal world is not constrained by time and space - the land is still inhabited by the same beings which were involved in its creation. The spirits of the dead are constantly present. Ceremonies not only re-enact the activities of ancient heroes but also recreate them. English words are inadequate to describe this historic and contemporary world. C The value of things lies in their quality and relatedness, in a world made up of objects related through their spiritual essences, rather than physical properties.
