Entry into the CKGR
The Government of Botswana has upheld the December 13, 2006 Court Order. Government issued on December 14, 2006, December 18, 2006 and March 17, 2007, statements outlining its understanding of the Court order and the steps it would and was taking to implement the decision of the Court. Allegations that Government is not allowing Basarwa into the CKGR are misleading and false. It must be noted that beneficiaries of the High Court decision on this matter are the Applicants. This is clearly spelt out in the following statements from the judgement;
"It is important to identify who the Applicants are so that the outcome of this action binds only those persons .......One sundred and eighty-nine Applicants authorized Attorneys Boko, Motlhala and Ketshabile to represent them in this action and it is those Applicants whose names appear in the Table A annexed to the judgment who are parties to this action" [Dibotelo J. p8 of the judgment].
