Having reported about the upturn in Botswana’s economy I guess there had to be a downside. It turns out that Bushmen were evicted from the land. Why? Because of the existence of diamonds there. Now a court has declared their removal illegal.
This is ancestral land. Once more it has to be shown that Africa’s wealth is withheld from the people. Not only that many are dispossessed. The irony is that many of those who have acquired wealth from the former colonial powers are now mimicking their appalling behaviour.
