This border post between South Africa and Namibia in the bone-dry Kalahari region is now being turned into a ‘farming area’ by the ANC-regime, which has actually taken some of this useless desert land and handed it over to some 315 Nama-speaking ‘previously disadvantaged’ women, and now refers to these poor women as ‘livestock farmers’. The increased contact with livestock, usually goats, also means that more people are getting Congo Haemorrhaghic fever, endemic among livestock ticks in this region, than before.
