See them, the last wrinkled Bushmen filing in from the wilderness-lured by the creaking farm windmill and its message of an easier life. In the past when the droughts turned their hunting and foraging grounds into a brittle, oven-hot desert the Bushmen trekked to permanent water- and there they sate out the drought, watching all the time for the distant clouds that would restore life to their territory. But today they find farms at the permanent water holes, and a supply of year round food. Sometimes they forget to look for the clouds. (Professor T.V. Tobias)
