Since the Bushmen were forced off their land in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) in 2002, the Botswana government has granted 112 mining licenses for mining companies to explore in the reserve. 16 licenses have been awarded for uranium exploration and 40 for coal...The Bushmen won the right to return to their land inside the reserve in a landmark ruling at Botswana’s High Court in 2006...evictions had been ‘unlawful’ and ‘unconstitutional’...Survival has always maintained that the Bushmen were evicted to open up the reserve for mining.
