  • South Africa – Johannesburg – Animal welfare at the Joburg zoo. Following many concerns about wildlife animals at the zoo on social media, we pay the zoo a visit to check up on their daily operation and though the staff rotate to maintain lock down regulation and social distance we found that the animal are not neglected by staff however miss visitors as a result. One of the staff Richard gives carrots to some of the giraffes who eat out of his hands.<br />

  • San (also called Bushmen) are an ethnic group of South West Africa. They live in the Kalahari Desert across the borders of Botswana, Namibia, Angola and South Africa. Most of the 100,000 San people live in Botswana (around 55,000) but about 25,000 live in Namibia..The San have a foraging lifestyle based on the hunting of wild animals (usually with bows and poison arrows and spears) and the gathering of veld food. The fact they are hunter gatherers accounts for their nomadic way of life. Their lifestyle is particularly adapted to the hard conditions of the Kalahari Desert. They know where waterholes are located and carry water in ostrich eggshells. They drink water from roots and tubers they find by digging the ground. The San are intelligent trackers and know the habits of their prey. they hunt game of all size : mice, buffalos, antelopes, and even giraffes sometimes. They also eat various types of insects especially during the dry season.. Sans are part of the Khoisan language peoples (including the herding tribe of the Khoikhoi) who speak a language based on click sounds (consonants), made with specific moves of the tongue.
.Naming.Their is a debate about these people should be called as the term of San didn't used to be used by San people themselves as they didn't use to apprehend themselves as unified ethnic group. Indeed there is a various array of San subgroups. But this issue also arose because the words of San and Bushman (coming from the dutch word Bosjes Man) also have been used by outsiders (european settlers in particular) to refer to them, often with pejorative connotations..The different San language groups of Namibia met in late 1996 and agreed to use the general term San to designate them externally. This word was historically applied by their ethnic relatives and historic rivals, the Khoikhoi. This term meaning outsider in the Nama language (the language of the Khoikhois), enables the distinction between Bushmen from what the Khoikhoi called t
