Tutu joins Botswana Bushmen's fight for land
South African Nobel laureate Desmond Tutu threw his support Tuesday behind a fight by San Bushmen for rights to ancestral land, urging Botswana's government not to destroy their unique way of life.
A final judgement is expected next month in what is Botswana's longest-running court case when a judge is due to rule on the Bushmen's claim that they were driven out of the Kalahari desert unlawfully.
In a newly recorded video message, Tutu said the Bushmen's culture, which dates back tens of thousands of years, was "one of the world's treasures".
