The judge has ruled that the Bushmen have no right of access to a pool of water on their land, or digging a new well within the Game Reserve, Central Kalahari, one of the driest regions of the world. The case hearing was held on June 9, but the court reserved its verdict on 21.

The ruling is a blow for the Bushmen, who have had serious difficulties without water since 2002 when the Botswana government sealed and plugged a hole to force them to leave the reserve. In 2006, the Supreme Court declared unconstitutional, illegal and forced evictions of the Bushmen, and since then hundreds have returned to their land.

If the Bushmen denied water in their own lands, while tourists, animals and the diamond mines it is freely available, foreigners should ask themselves if they really want to support this scheme with their views and jewelry purchases.
