media release by Working Group of Indigenous Minorities in Southern Africa (WIMSA), posted on De Beers website

[media release posted on De Beers website] San from southern Africa concerned about Survival International campaign [Botswana]

[W]e object strongly to the fact that Survival International seeks to give the impression that they speak on behalf of all ‘the Kalahari Bushmen’ when they handpick quotes from a few San only...The San regard diamond mining in the CKGR as an option for development as long as their rights are respected...We appeal to SI to immediately cease their campaign on our behalf until such time as they are prepared to co-ordinate with our representative organizations.
