Duma Gideon Boko. A Victory for Human Rights.

Today, on Human Rights Day, the soul of Gaoberekwe Pitseng will finally rest in perfect peace, laid to rest in his ancestral home Central Kalahari Game Reserve. In our culture, the right to be buried in one's ancestral land is both sacred and universal, it should never be denied to anyone.

Meeting with our people in the CKGR today was bittersweet. A decision so clear and fundamental was unnecessarily delayed, reflecting a past disregard for human rights. This moment serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of upholding dignity and respect for all individuals.

Our government remains committed to placing human rights at the core of its policies and ensuring that such justices are never repeated.

Today, human rights prevailed, and both the family and the nation can finally be at peace.

May Gaoberekwe's Soul Rest in Peace.
