Battling for space on the master�s land

There is an ongoing case at the Customary Court of Appeal in which Galebowe is fighting tooth and nail to win property right on land and he has grown to be no different from the animals he herded; he was owned by another man.

Galebowe is one of the many Basarwa who were born into servitude. His family lived under the shadow of his masters, the late Gaesejwe Bile and her husband Tlhase Bile and their offspring.  His mother was also born as a servant in 1925; in fact his relatives who died while in servitude are buried here at the Bile lands, where he most probably hopes to be buried when his time comes.
