BOTSWANA: Bushmen return home despite police presence

A group of forty Bushmen have managed to return to their homes in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve this weekend, despite a heavy police presence and attempts to persuade them to stay in the relocation camps.

All the Bushmen in the convoy were allowed into the reserve by the wildlife guards at the gates, although some were only issued with temporary permits.

Plain-clothes police went into the reserve ahead of the Bushmen, but have now left.
