in 1997, the Botswana government forced Bushmen to live to large, fixed settlements outside the reserve. The government banned hunting and gathering, and also destroyed their water supplies. Hunger and thirst forced the Bushmen to move into fixed camps. The bushmen had their homelands invaded by cattle herding by the Bantu tribes around 1500 years ago and by white colonists over 3 hundred years ago. they face discrimination, eviction from their ancestral homelands, murder and oppression. This had reduced their population from 7,000,000 to 100,000.
