Factors Restricting the Use of Tractors by Small-Scale Farmers in Vhembe District, Limpopo Province, South Africa
Factors Restricting the Use of Tractors by Small-Scale Farmers in Vhembe District, Limpopo Province, South Africa 著者 Sikhwari George Pandelani journal or Journal of Developments in Sustainable publication title Agriculture volume 3 number 2 page range 65-73 year 2008 URL http://hdl.handle.net/2241/113021 Journal of Developments in Sustainable Agriculture 3: 65-73 (2008) Factors Restricting the Use of Tractors by Small-Scale Farmers in Vhembe District, Limpopo Province, South Africa George Pandelani Sikhwari Graduate School of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8572, Japan This study was conducted to assess the level of use of tractors in Vhembe district, Limpopo province. Soils in this district are generally fertile and support irrigated and dryland agriculture. Although some farmers own tractors and other farm implements, mainly for hiring out, much land remains unplowed. Owing to lack of operational knowledge, some equipment is not used or is used only during the plowing season, and so runs at a loss. As a result, it is difficult for tractor owners to cover their expenses, since most of the time the tractors sit idle. The aims of this study were to assess the level of use of tractors in Vhembe, to investigate the types of tractors and implements owned by farmers and how they can be fully used, to determine the costs of running tractors, and to propose how tractors and other farm implements can be fully used throughout the year. Fifty owners and operators in Vhembe's four municipalities were interviewed. The available tractors were used for tillage only during the rainy months and sat idle during the dry months. -

Evaluation of the Global Solar Irradiance in the Vhembe District of Limpopo Province, South Africa, Using Different Theoretical Models
Turkish Journal of Physics Turk J Phys (2015) 39: 264 { 271 http://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/physics/ ⃝c TUB¨ ITAK_ Research Article doi:10.3906/fiz-1505-9 Evaluation of the global solar irradiance in the Vhembe district of Limpopo Province, South Africa, using different theoretical models Tshimangadzo Sophie MULAUDZI, Nnditshedzeni Eric MALUTA∗, Vaith SANKARAN Department of Physics, University of Venda, Thohoyandou, South Africa Received: 14.05.2015 • Accepted/Published Online: 10.09.2015 • Printed: 30.11.2015 Abstract: An attempt has been made to employ three different theoretical models for the determination of global solar radiation for the climate conditions of the Vhembe district of Limpopo Province in South Africa. The models are: 1) the Angstrom linear-based model, 2) the Hargreaves and Samani (temperature-based) model, and 3) the Garcia model. These models require the following meteorological data inputs: temperature, sunshine hours, and global solar irradiance on the horizontal surface. The regression coefficients from our previous study were also employed in the calculations. A 4-year (2007{2010) global solar irradiance and temperature data set from the Agricultural Research Council and the actual sunshine data set from the South African Weather Services were used. The monthly average global solar irradiance for the four selected areas of study were computed and compared with the in situ data. The results obtained show that the Angstrom linear and temperature-based models are suitable methods for predicting the global solar irradiance in this study area. The difference between the observed and the predicted data is less than 6.5 MJ/(m 2 day). -

Demarcation for Democracy Or Violence? Vuwani at Glance
DEMARCATION FOR DEMOCRACY OR VIOLENCE? VUWANI AT GLANCE 9th International Conference on Public Administration and Management, 26 and 27 October 2016, Pretoria, South Africa Social science that makes a difference PROJECT TEAM Prof Modimowabarwa Kanyane Dr Stephen Rule Dr Benita Moolman Dr Cyril Adonis Mr Nedson pophiwa Mr Johan Viljoen Mr Molemo Ramphile Social science that makes a difference Background • The sphere of local government in South Africa has been plagued by violent service delivery protests in the last decade. • Although data remain unreliable and incomplete it is reported that the two most recent national election years, 2009 and 2014, were the worst (204 in 2009 and 218 in 2014, compared to 27 in 1996) (Runciman et al, 2016). • During the 2016 local government election campaign, separated incidences of violence erupted especially in Tshwane, Gauteng • The Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB)’s decision to disestablish Mutale municipality, incorporating both Vuwani and Malamulele communities into a single new municipality resulted in widespread violence in the area. • Whereas boundaries have always been contested in South Africa, the Vuwani case led to destruction of public infrastructure at levels not seen before. Social science that makes a difference Vuwani history around protests • Vuwani is one of five towns located in the Vhembe District Municipality in northern Limpopo • Limpopo is ‘home’ to a number of different ethnic groups (Venda, Ndebele, Pedi and Tsonga) • The 2011 Census enumerated 84% of the residents of Vuwani as being home language speakers of Tshivenda, 8% as Xitsonga-speakers, and 8% as speakers of other languages such as Sepedi, Sesotho and English Research Project • VUWANI RAPID RESPONSE RESEARCH (VRRR) • Inter-disciplinary research team within the HSRC • It is an exploratory study of the drivers of violence and conflict over municipal boundaries in Vuwani/ Malamulele • Research Questions: I. -

Master Thesis Macadamia Nuts
University of Amsterdam Graduate School of Social Sciences International Development Studies Master Thesis Macadamia nuts - the new gold of South Africa? Inclusive value chain integration of macadamia nut small-scale farmers in Limpopo, South Africa 24th of June 2015 Katarzyna Jaskiewicz 10626948 [email protected] Supervisor: Dr. Yves van Leynseele Second reader: Dr. Mirjam Ros-Tonen Acknowledgments First, I would like to thank Dr. Yves van Leynseele, my thesis supervisor for his support, patience and valuable insights. I appreciate also his openness in sharing his knowledge and experiences of Tshakhuma making the period of the fieldwork very unique. Secondly, I want to thank my classmates Ulrike Chawiche and Emanuele Sessa for their care and unconditional love, that made them my dear friends during this intense year. Thirdly, I am grateful for the second reader Dr. Mirjam Ros-Tonen, who is an appreciated leader of this research project. Also, I want to thank Dr. TT Rabothata, Petronella Chaminunka and Malin Olofsson for all their help in South Africa, that made Tshakhuma feel like home. Lastly, I am thankful to my family. Dziękuję, bez Was nic z tego nie byłoby możliwe. ii Abstract The goal of the South African government to build a class of black African farmers is far from being reached. Nevertheless, the efforts of transforming the dual agrarian economy are increasingly realized through a focus on black small-scale farmers growing high-value commodity subtropical tree crops. The main aim is to uplift rural poverty by creating employment opportunities and income generation through exports. This research zooms in on the macadamia nut value chain taking an inclusive development perspective. -
