bushman

“Bushman” could accurately be called a fish-out-of-water movie, but part of the conceit is that Gabriel, who happily identifies as a bushman, seems more settled than everyone else.

Her latest book, When Tears Don’t Matter, portrays the lives of the remaining bushmen in the Kalahari in eastern Namibia, who eke out a living amid the daunting demands of nature.

Local bushman Ben Gibbs told local medial he found him after walking past a search area which had already been tagged by rescue crews.

The men always carry spears or bows to defend themselves against “bushmen”— the vicious, atavistic descendants of criminals and beggars — or even occasional marauders from Wales and Ireland.

They all wore bright green bushman’s hats adorned with a leaping springbok—the symbol of the World Cup-winning national rugby team—above khaki beige-and-green shirts.
