Tsumkwe, Namibia . 300 k’s from the nearest petrol station, Tsumkwe was originally set up as a recruitment post for the South African Army eager to exploit the legendary tracking skills of the local San tribe, the Ju/’hoansi, in their war in Angola. Now, alone amongst the once vast San nation, a revered , ancient , and famously egalitarian culture of hunters and gatherers, the Ju/’hoansi continue to inhabit their ancestral lands, and live – in theory – much as they always have done, with the collaboration and support of Western donors. Their lands, Nyae Nyae, extend behind this San woman, 50 kilometers to the Botswana border
