The drought which caused |hanǂkass'o's grandparents to starve

Lucy Lloyd |xam notebooks

|hanǂkass'o (Klein Jantje) (VIII)

|hanǂkass'o's maternal grandmother, ǂkammi, was lean with starvation during the drought in their country, and his grandfather almost died from starvation during the same drought. The children were the ones who ran the steenbok down in the sun until they collapsed from the heat ('the sun is killing' them).
