The government is...failing to comply with the 'relevant international human rights standards', according to the UN Special Rapporteur for indigenous peoples. Professor James Anaya's recent report condemned the government for its ill treatment of the Central Kgalagadi Game Reserve (CKGR) Bushmen, accusing it of failing to implement the 2006 Lobatse High Court ruling which acknowledges the Bushmen’s right to live on their ancestral lands in the reserve. Instead, he found that those Bushmen who have managed to return to the reserve ‘face harsh and dangerous conditions due to a lack of access to water, a situation that could easily be remedied by reactivating the boreholes in the reserve’...Anaya demands that the government reactivates the borehole ‘as a matter of urgent priority’, and rejects its claim to be concerned about the conservation of the CKGR for being ‘inconsistent with its decision to permit Gem Diamonds… to conduct mining activities within the reserve’.
