Nkemetse Motsoko and Kebonyeng Kepese were arrested near the community of Gope in the CKGR after killing an eland (a large antelope).

The two men were successful applicants in a landmark court case exactly six years ago that recognized the Bushmen's right to live, and hunt, on their ancestral land.

However, since the Bushmen won the case, Botswana's government has made the tribe's life impossible, by unlawfully refusing to issue a single hunting permit.
