Wild Cucumber
When you know where to look, you will know what you will find. The San people were/are the artists of making the environment provide for them. Food has always been in abundance. On the ground, there are a variety of vegetables to find, one being the Wild Cucumber. The Wild Cucumber is not only a source of water but also food to eat. It is found in the Kalahari savanna and it grows by spreading along the surface of the soil. This vegetable is ideal for immediate consumption during the long and hot seasons.
I’m a native speaker of Naro from Botswana’s Ghanzi District. I’m a defender of of Indigenous rights and a strong supporter of inclusive social policy. As a young person from a very marginalized group, I have grown to understand the importance of culture in todays society. Whereas I know that change is inevitable, without the knowledge of where you come from and ideals that you represent, can bring harm to the very fight of the right to self-determination. I support all those who advocate towards them.
