Bushmen
Roy Sesana and Jumanda Gakelebone this week completed their tour of
Europe with a visit to Berlin, where they met prominent German
politicians and journalists, and gave a public lecture at a
high-profile museum.
Roy Sesana delivered his lecture to a crowd of hundreds at the
Ethnological Museum in the German capital on Sunday evening. He and
Gakelebone, both of First People of the Kalahari, have since given
interviews to German print and broadcast media as well as seeking
support from German politicians and organisations.
Interest in the plight of the Gana and Gwi Bushmen of the Central
Kalahari Game Reserve is growing in Germany, which is home to many of
the tourists who visit Botswana. Survival International opened an
office in Berlin this year to mobilise support for tribal peoples in
Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
