6Basarwa is a Tswana word meaning “inanimate (not quite human) original dwellers.” Hugh Brody, “Botswana, the Bushmen/San, and HIV/AIDS,” p. 2, August 2003.

7In 2002, the government of Botswana expelled the San from their ancestral land in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve and placed them in resettlement villages. International observers pointed to prospective diamond mining as motivating the expulsion, while the government claimed it was bringing the San into the modern age. Conditions in the resettlement villages were poor, and the health of displaced San suffered. The San filed suit, and in December 2006, the High Court of Botswana ruled that they were illegally expelled and entitled to return to their home in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve.
