[PDF] Bushmen aren’t forever - Botswana: diamonds in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve and the eviction of Bushmen

Both De Beers and the government stand to gain from the profits of diamond mining...[and] are likely to be concerned that indigenous peoples’ rights, as secured in many other countries...might threaten some of their future profits from the CKGR [Central Kalahari Game Reserve]. [also refers to African Diamonds, Anglo American, BHP Billiton, Debswana (joint venture De Beers & Botswana Govt.), Falconbridge, Godi (part of BHP Billiton), Kalahari Diamonds (part of BHP Billiton), Nepcal, Superior Oil]
