Speaker               Paul John Myburgh

From the moment I read about Paul John Myburgh I knew that we would all love to share his experience! 

Fortunately, Penguin has just released his fascinating book The Bushman Winter Has Come which gives us the opportunity of hearing Paul’s absorbing story…

Guest speaker, Paul John Myburgh, anthropologist and multiple award-winning documentary filmmaker, has had a life-long commitment to Africa that transcends the boundaries of politics and ideology. Apart from many years shared with the First People, he has spent the last sixteen years working on the story of the excavation of the Little Foot fossilised skeleton in the Cradle of Humankind.

He spent seven years with the ‘People of the Great Sand Face’, a group of Gwikwe Bushmen in the Kalahari Desert. But all does not end there.  In The Bushman Winter Has Come, the author imagines a continuing journey towards a place where we may, once again, know who we are in the context of our life on this earth … towards a time when we may answer the Gwikwe’s morning greeting, Tsamkwa/tge? (Are your eyes nicely open?) with a confident yes.

Edgar Osojnik Chef/Patron of Buitenverwachting Restaurant has created a superb menu for this luncheon.
