Natives are not brain washed as they do not watch TV but YOU are and if YOU do not see in what mess this world is and do not stop them they will destroy your way of life eventually to. World Bank which has been in the hands of one evil Zionist family is stealing peoples property all over the world in many ways and creating conflicts and wars for century's . They practice occultism and glorify Satan. You can see the symbolism on the dollars, architecture, popular film and music industry.

[jpcaesar1989]

Fuck you ROY Sesana. U drive a bmw x5 why dont u sell that car and go live in the bush like people u claim to represent.bushmen now have guns and horses and if they are allowed they gonna kill all the animals. fuck you survival international.

[spungi100]

this is BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[SsjTurles]

The San people are the oldest animal-worshiping people on the planet! They worship the Great Serpent which they believe "descended from the heavens & birthed man" - Sounds a bit like the ancient Japanese theory that Dragons from the sky created man - Wait a sec; that sounds strangely similar to ANOTHER African belief that the "Chitauli" or "children of the Serpent" descended from the sky in fiery ships & created man... Waaaait a sec.... visit my links! ;D

Light & Love.

[ke467]

[1000Hamsters]

[chrismychi]

the khoi san are perhaps the most civilized people on the earth, the oldest known family on earth was of the khoi san...these are one of the few people who still live off the land as God intended, let us not poison them with our ungodly western way of life...

[ASPRINALARD]

I find it really surprising that people use emotional language to get support for something that is of no help to these people. Even they are asking for their lives to be improved in all these clips but people who claim to support them are not hearing this. Amazing! Their argument is do not move us out of the park but otherwise are rightly looking for improvement of their live, what Botswana is doing. This culture will die unless they get help! Effective use of limited resources dictates events!

[soundsfromnothing]

Well, we're not sure what the oldest group on earth really was. The San are closest LIVING closest population to what original man may have been. We don't know what Mithochondrial eve looked like. Either way, they are the closest to original man. You're right, They are wonderful, thoughful, warm ppl. It makes me sad to see them being forced off their lands & away from their traditional way of life. God forbid everyone (globally) doesn't want to be a part of rat race.

R.I.P. Individuality

[moderadonna]

I agree but it is not us poisoning them. It is rather the Bantu, who are barely westernized and dependent, who are destroying the San. I suppose misery loves company, so being that they are dependent, they don't want the San to be independent.

[nayungagarr]

@chrismychi San seem physically more evolved maybe we left Africa too early??

[ASPRINALARD]

This guy is a sad lier! Come and see what Botswana is doing for this part of our society. They can't be left behind! You are being compensated man! What houses are you really talking about? Alcohol problem has been here for ages, the cosequence of unemployment and poverty. With community building, they are being empowered to be like you lot! Child and mother mortality is huge here! How long can they live like this! They need live like your own! Their culture can be preserved without poverty!

[Kuzcokaya]

U need to shut the fuck and get a damn brain godamnit, this their culture they love it and they want to keep it. they do not want the WHITE culture. and u can just drop death.

[moderadonna]

Kuzcokaya, it is not the White people who are doing it. It is the Black bantu. They have always tried to oppress these people. They hunted them down and now are further destroying them.

[Fraterculae]

bushmen lived longer and healthier lives than the average person in Botswana .. the average lifespan in Botswana is shockingly low because of aids etc. If these guys can live in a desert that no-one used to want ... let them!! they know how.. and they want to. This would be a flagship case for the whole world to see how well you can treat tribal people.

[ASPRINALARD]

You guys are surprising! Have you any idea the rate of child and mother mortality among these people due to poverty? How long can they survive as a people like this? Will they still be hunting and gathering in 50 years? Hunting what? The Botswana government needs to care for these people just like the rest of the nation.This man sadly misses the point of what is being done here! It is not easy but they will be saved, empowered and given a live like u! Dont block that! Alcohol is not new here!

[Gakeolebale]

just because we were colonized, it doesn't make our tyranny acceptable...it just means it is benefiting SOMEONE...stop hiding behind western academia parading and pretending to be a liberating force for "savages"...we are no authority to be talking about how people who have been living a nomadic life, long before the Bantu speakers (us) got there, can survive in the desert...in the heat...if you are weak...don't project it on others just to justify your imitation of Western imperialists.

[Gakeolebale]

waitse batho...we have done to the Basarwa what the colonizers did to us...came in "and civilzed us...hmm...civilized...hmm...c­ivilized...our way WAS ignornace...or so we were told...now WE call their ways ignorant...or backward...bite your tongues..and think back...stop reading history books that only tell one side of the story...

[mkwapower]

This is terrible. These guys own Southern Africa..They are the true inhabitants of southern africa...

[thelordVID]

This is a disgrace. The reason why Africa would always be playing catch-up to the rest of the world. Since when has citizen development been a negative thing?

[zooskie]

san people shud learn new ways, or modernised way of living, le ka lapisa

[mokgothu]

Somebody from a nice house, electrified and warm in winter, goes to the world to say he is from the bush. This idiot is telling lies, he is only doing his job, to reprimand his government for NGO's, that found a nice case for making its own income from stupid people who still think and really believe its possible for a homo sapien to live through around -20°C of cold without clothes and proper windproof shelter! The Bots gov't is trying to turn those animals that call themselves San into people!

[kenemarshall]

Capitalistic societies aren't better to me than my San people living in Kam/Afrika. In a lot of ways, it's better. Out in the open land of Afrika, you learn how to do things, how to survive, as I believe God intended. You don't have to pay taxes or rent. You just live free. I'd love to live there. It's that evil slant to capitalism or high- mindedness that leads man to try to change things, which can do the people more harm than good.

[monstersamba]

clear to me that this is oppression. some people do not want other's 'education' or 'modernization' and they have every right to live as they have lived for centuries. it is not for the governments to choose the cultures/lifestyles of the people on the land.

[monstersamba]

in response to the comments...he did not say they made a gold mine on the taken lands, he said the lands were given over to others for farming. he also said that in these settlements the San people were not told what lands were for them in exchange for the ones taken (by threat of soldiers) and that they all were suffering and stopped from returning to their homes.

[stuxmc]

The government of Botswana relocated Basarwa(Bushmen) from desert and built a town with schools,hospitals and other modern amenities so that these people can also have access to education , medical care,economic empowerment benefits,etc. That the goverment is building a business area or a gold mine is pure lies motivated by racism.For those of you who want to understand this issue, please visit the goverment of Botswana official website : gov dot bw .

[genmama1955]

Where did the people go? I mean, did the government just leave them to make their own way however they could, or were they given a place to go and the means to live? It sounds like they were totally cheated and left to fend for themselves however they could. I need to learn more. Thank you for these documenteries.
