De Beers response to the Bushmen of the Central Kalahari.

De Beers fully accepts Survival International's right to campaign responsibly on behalf of the Bushmen. What it cannot and will not accept is the persistent and erroneous claim linking De Beers and diamonds to the relocation of the Bushmen from the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR).

Government Denies Diamonds Behind Basarwa Removals.

The Botswana government has denied that diamonds were behind the controversial relocation of the Basarwa bushmen from the Central Kgalagadi Game Reserve (CKGR), and has accused British lobby group Survival International (SI) of a "campaign of deception".

It said this "confrontational" intervention had stalled talks between the government and the negotiating team.
