1:10:00
He smiled at them in greeting,
but nobody smiled back.
1:10:14
Interpreter.
1:10:24
You, Xixo, are hereby charged with
wrongfully and unlawfully slaughtering...
1:10:28
...one goat on the 21st of September,
1980, in Oniamatokwe.
1:10:33
How plead you?
Guilty or not guilty?
1:10:36
Mpudi found it difficult to interpret
because, in his language...
1:10:40
...there was no word for "guilty. "
1:10:45
Finally he asked,
"Did you shoot an animal?"
1:10:48
Xi said, "Yes, I did, but that man took it.
He did not want to share it with me. "
1:10:53
-Well, what does he plead?
-Not guilty.
1:10:57
-They gave him the death sentence.
-For killing a goat? No.
1:11:01
Three months in jail, same thing.
He gonna die for sure.
1:11:06
He never seen a wall.
Now, he got walls all around him.
1:11:10
But didn't you explain to them?
1:11:12
-They said, "Silence in court."
-Yeah, but surely they ought to know.
1:11:17
Nobody knows the Bushmen.
1:11:21
Nobody ever goes
into the deep Kalahari.
1:11:23
How come you know so much
about them?
1:11:26
When Botswana belonged to the British,
I hit a policeman for insulting my father.
1:11:31
So I fled, right into the Kalahari.
1:11:34
I died, you know. Dehydration.
1:11:37
Some of those little buggers
found me, and buried me.
1:11:40
Only my head stuck out.
1:11:41
For two weeks, they pushed water
and food into my mouth.
1:11:45
And when they dug me up,
I was nearly white.
1:11:47
Like you.
1:11:49
I lived with them for three years.
They're the sweetest little buggers.
1:11:54
He gonna die for sure.
