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 |
