4. The affidavit claims that the Haillom did not have exclusive ownership or
beneficial use of Etosha. It claims, futher, thatthe Aandonga people infact
hhad rights to Etosha that exclude the Haillom ftom claiming the land. It relies
(on the deponent's personal knowiedge and oral history that has been passed
down amongst the Aandonga people.
5. The Applicants have five general responses tothe affidavit
6. Fits, itis wrong as a matter of fact, The Applicants wil fle, together with this
affidavit, an expert report prepared jointly by Robert Hitchcock, Thoma: Widlok
land Ute Diekmann which responds to the historical claims Shimi yaShimi
‘makes. They demonstrate thatthe historical record in fact confirms thatthe
Haijom gid have beneficial ownership, use and occupation of Etosha, To the
cextont thatthe Aandonga or others entered Etosha without the consent ofthe
Haillom, they were acting unlawful in violation of the Haillom people's rights.
‘Those unlawful acts did not undermine the legimate Haillom claim to he land.
7. The position set out by the experts confims my own knowledge of the history
‘of my people which I set out in the ad seria response below.
cond, at best forthe Respondents, the afdavit rates a dlsputo of fet. That
sa dlapute that will ned tobe determined at tial. Allthe relevant experts wil
have to testy to alow this Court to determine whether the Applicants have
established ther claim. The existence of a sispute of fact isnot reason to
refuse to allow the applicants to represent the Haillom people in a
representative action so thatthe dispute of fact can be determined,

‘Thitd, even if his evidence, tothe effect thatthe Haljom did not exercise rights
of ownership or exclusive beneficial use over the entire Etosha National Park
and its resources, were to be accepted in whole o in part, this would net defeat
the Applicants’ ciaim. It would serve only fo reduce the extent ofthe land to
‘which the Hallom are eniled, or to show that ther rights over part ofthe land
claimed are not exclusive rights, That does not defeat any of clams wich are
rot premised on exclusive ownership rights
Fourth, the affidavit relates only to part ofthe land claimed by the Haillom, even
if twas all accepted as tru, it would not defeat the calm, but limit. That is
no reason to deny the Applicants the right to represent the Hailom people in a
representative action
Eh, Applicants’ third and fith claims do not rely onthe claim of beneficial use
and ownership. They rest, instead, on the violation of the Haillom people's
human rights as protected by international law, Those rights were violated
‘whether or not the evidence in Shimi yaShim's afdavit is accurate,
In sum, given that there is, at worst for the Applicants, a factual dispute about
the nature and extent oftheir occupation and ownership ofthe subject land, the
dispute should be resolved at trial. tis Largely ielevant tothe lites question

Haillom people in that ti

| dony that the deponent has qualified himself to make an expertopinion
regarding the mode of existence ofthe Haljom people. By his own
admission his family was historically acquainted with afew San who
were inthe bondage of the Aawambo people —used as servan's, cate,
herders and trackers.
‘The Hailom people di not bud stuctues fom materials other than
what was necessary to provide shee. | have already slated thatthe
Haijom people had permanent settlements throughout the subject land
‘and further afield. These were mosty situated atthe various water
‘sources, The men hunted and followed game asthe seasons dictated
‘Similarly women gathered veldkos which vaied according to seasons. |
point out that there are no permanent Awambo buildings on the subjact
land or any evidence of such
| deny that San people migrated to Etosha because ofthe game inthe
atea. The Haljom already occupied the area and conserved the natural
resources in acsoxdance with ther mode of living on those lands. This
‘occupation may have been as a recut ofthe ample resources ofthe
area, however the Hallom did not migrate therefrom somewhere els.
Thus the game was always plentiful until it was decimated by foreign
hunters inthe 1800's. The deponent himsei has already stated that the
ut
rr‘Aawambo found the San people in occupation when they settled in the
northern parts of Namibia,
25, Ad Paragraph 14,
‘To the extent that there were no wars between the Haillom and the Aandonga people
| admit that there was a peaceful co-existence. 1 deny however that the peaceful co-
‘existence occured onthe same shared teitories occupied by the respective groups.
Furthermore, iis in my opinion a generalisation that “San worked as cattle herders
and trackers for Aawambo" and that “Aawambo provided sholtor and food tothe San
intimes of need. | say this because although there may have been instances of such
‘employment of San people, this was net the norm. The Haillom people continued to
pursue their own livelihoods long before and long after the Aandonga people settled
inthe area which they presently and have traditionally occupied which are not part of
the subject land, The Hallom people didnot have to learn how to hunt and gather
‘veldkos from the Aandonga people o ely onthe Aawambo people to “provide shel
and food
26. Ad Paragraph 16
26.1. | deny that the reason that there was a peacelul relationship setween
the Aandonga and the Haijom has any sigifleance. Each accupied
their own distinctive terrtores and merely taded with one another rom
{ime to tie. To make my point | can stato that the Hallam and the
Nama people of the south of Namibia also Ived peaceful with one
another. This is simply because they did not engage significantly with
Ut
ns27,
‘one another and occupied distinc tritores. There was no competition
for resources. Itis also not customary forthe Haillom people to engage
in war with other people, Other than the singular incidences and
skimishes with other tribes relating to livestock rusting, the Haillom
‘people are not known for wake tendencies.
26.2, The Aandonga may have established permanent settlements and courts
‘and claimed ttle over land, but this land was not inthe subject land of
the Haljom people. itis false to suggest thatthe San peogle never
‘sought to acquire or assert rights to their tertories, Our founding and
replying papers have narrated the basis on which we assert cur cam,
Itis supported by detaled expert evidence.
26.3. The deponent states that it i only because the San people were not
perceived as a threat that there was no confit. This suggests that is
the deponents opinion that because other communities asserted
themselves on the Hallo terrtories without fear of conic, thatthe
Haijom clinuished their rights. | deny that this isthe case at al. Even
during 1954 when the Haljom were evicted from the National Park, there
were no oer tibe's members who were simiary evicted because none
‘wore in occupation. This recent demonstration of exclusive occupation
ofthe Haim is implicit a a result ofthe historical recognition by other
neighbouring tribes thatthe subject land was occupied and cortrolled by
the Haljom peop as of right ~ at least unt we were deported from the
park in 1954
‘Ad Paragraph 16| do not know the source or accuracy ofthis information although it would appear that
itis authored at the instance ofthe Fest Respondent. | do not deny that ror te to
time that other people would utlise certain resources, but never ona permanent basis
and fractionally and eticaly wth the consent ofthe relevant Hallom aurhonty in
charge of the resource, | have already descibed for example how the Aawambo
‘people would be assisted by Haillom from time to time allowing them to water their
‘cattle o for forage during the pre-colonial migration of people of central Aftican origin,

“This version isin confct wth the generally accepted historical fact. To the extent that,
| have pointed out above, none ofthe resources were shared generally or a8 a rue
Sometimes in times of drought and need the Aandonga and Aawambo people sought
pastures and water inthe subject lands and the relationship between these people
and the Hailjom was determined by the respective customs ofthe peoples fom time
to time, | deny thatthe land or resources wore "shared" by the Haillom and other
people.
29. Ad Paragraph 18,
‘Although I do not deny thatthe Aandonga may have had their own names for certain,
places, | donot admit that because they had given a place a name that they came to
‘unit. | deny that there was ever a permanent presence of Aandonga or Ova or
other people inthe subject and. Ihave never heard of any story that the subject land
(ofthe Haillom was ever ruled by any kings of any other tribes

‘Tho doponent stats thatthe Aandonga King hunted game in Okashana durng June
‘and July only tthe time that they needed some mea for their Mahangu. While I do
‘not even adritthat his was the case (because have never heard of any sos trom
the Hallom oral histori
‘merely indicates thatthe King came once a year from his
place tothe place thatthe Aandonga called Okashana to hunt. Even ifthis's tue, it
does not constitute permanent occupation or any ether mode of ewmership of the lan,
its widlfe and resources. And it does not affect the Hallam calm tothe lan.
31. Ad Paraaragh 20,

| not think itis easy to catch and castrate any wife such as the huntable game
types ike Eland, Oryx, Kudu or Giraffe. The Hallom dé not castrate the animals since
this would be very dangerous and counterproductive to nature. Even i this foklre Is
‘tuo, the Hillom people continued to hunt game despite the King ofthe Aandonga's
belie that his castrated animals are holy. There are no records thatthe Aandonga
ing forbade Hallom people trom hunting animals or that any confit had arsen as @

people when they made their songs about their own affairs. The Haijom sengs and

ofthe subject and
33. Ad Paragraph 22
Itis noteworthy that the deponent asserts thatthe Aandonga people didnot have to
{88k for permission to hunt on the Hallom lands, yet a the same time coud not hunt
without the expertise of the Haillom trackers and hunters. f the Aandonga people
were the owners and occupiers of the subject lands, they would have ininsic
traditonal knowledge of the movement of wilsife and how to track and hent them
without the need to ety on the tradiional knowedge of the Hallm for this purpose.
‘They would not have to ask the Haillom to hunt.

34, Ad Paraoraph 23,
| do not have any knowledge of the story related inthis paragraph,
35. Ad Paragraph 24
As | pointed out above, the initiation procedures of the Norther Tribes required the
inates to travel by themselves through unfamiliar lands and dangers and fo return
wth
irom the Haillom pans as a test oftheir adulthood. If the salt pans were part
ofthe tribal lands of the Aandonga, then itwould not bea task ft fr intiation purposes.‘The initiates did not settle in the subject land and always retumed home after geting
some salt
36, Ad Paragraph 25,
ake note ofthis song's lyrics, but have no prior knowledge of i
37. Ad Paragraph 25,
| know that the practise of salt mining continues to this very day. Except the salt pan
‘rom which the inflates harvest salts not the sal pan inthe subject land, but adjacent
to the National Park on the northern side. It not clear from the affisavit why the
‘Aandonga people didnot ask for any permission from Haillom when they wert to theie
{eritries to take these resources from them.
38. Ad Paragraph 27
38.1. know thatthe Hallom people also occupied the area now known a.
‘Teumeb and raded the copperto various peoples, incuding the rothern
tribes, for things such as mahangu and tobacco. | did not rear any
stories thatthe Aawambo mined any minerals there, but rather they
traded withthe Haifom people to get the capper ka many others.

‘eponent. Despite the Applicants legal representatives” request othe
Respondents’ legal representatives to prove @ copy ofthe map, no
such copy has been received or confirmed. | attach copies of this

‘map does not exist.
39. Ad Paragraph 28.
| note the content ofthis paragraph.
40. Ad Paragraph 28,
40.1. The Aawambo did not exclusively mine at Tsumab. if they corstucted
the tunnels they would not getlostin them. Instead the unfamiliar layout
could have led some Aawambo people who were mining without
permission to go astray. It does not make sense to caim that ifthe
Aawambo came and asserted themealves as owners of another's
resources that this transfered any tile to the Aawambo kings

‘any from the Respondents,
41. Ad Paragraph 30,
| do not know about the incident described inthis paragraph.
42, Ad Paragraph 31
| de not know when the songs were produced that testified to what the Ondonga kings
‘maintained was theirs, According o the deponent the Aandonga have apparently long
Lt]regarded many things a8 thers which were not. The deponent does not sate any
Aauthorty for his assertions thatthe Kings of Aandonga regarded all the mentioned
teritory as their own, This assertion is simply nt borne out by, among othe things,
evidence of occupation of Hallom peopl andthe lack of any evidence of occupation
by the Aandonga people inthe subject land and elsewhere atthe places mantoned.
| deny again that there ts any map attached to the deponent’s afdavit.
43. Ad Paragraphs 32-38,
‘The deponent does not state the reasons why the King Kambonde sold the land to
Jordan. He did not own it. Nordid the Herero Chief, The absence of any opposition
to the sale from the Haillom people or the fact that the Haillom people did not
