I heard the story many years ago from a participant on a storytelling-in-education course, and followed up his source of Bush People tales (Märchen der Buschmänner by Giesela von Radowitz, Werner Dausien Verlag, Hanau 1983). Since then it has become one of my favourite tales to tell.
This recording was made at my 2019 Amnesty International benefit performance.
