Description: Pits were originally dug for water but when these dry up, they are left uncovered and open to the elements, leaving a hole with an opening wide enough for children and young animals to fall into. Unfortunately, there have been incidences where children have fallen in and died.Karel "Vet Piet" Kleinman demonstrates the size and scale of one of the pits. Karel "Vet Piet" Kleinman was a skilled and well-known field ranger until his death in 2004. He was trained by Regopstaan Kruiper and was passing this ethnoecological knowledge on to a new generation of San trackers in a training project known as ||Uruke. Images from this trip document the first excursions into the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and were a central part of the work on oral history and mapping in the first years of research.
