The Bushmen: also known as KhoiSan, Basarwa or San. These people are the original inhabitants of the Kalahari, indeed of Southern Africa. A race apart, they are small of stature and golden-skinned with an oriental cast to their features which prompted some early Portuguese explorers who encountered them to think that they had arrived in China. Their languages are distinctive - containing at least six vocal 'clicks', which punctuate the speech like rapid machine-gun fire.
The South African Human Rights Commission is the national institution established to entrench constitutional democracy. It is committed to promote respect for, observance of and protection of human rights for everyone without fear or favour.
The Kalahari Peoples Fund (KPF) is a non-profit organization formed for the benefit of the San (Bushmen, Basarwa) and other rural peoples of the Kalahari desert region of southern Africa. It is composed of anthropologists, development workers, and other interested individuals who have worked closely with these peoples and are familiar with their contemporary situations.
