It is being submitted for the degree Master of Science at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination at any other University. 26 August 2019 ---------------------------------- ------------------------------ Signature of candidate Date ii Dedication I would love to dedicate this to the memory of Bra Moses 'Moshe' Mosweu, who we loved, and we will always remember. So long, BIG Moss!! (1972-2000) ♪ Shena - Let The Beat Hit 'em ♫ iii Abstract The Constitution of South Africa affirms all the citizens the right to water access, but there are some communities in the rural and peri-urban areas such as the ones in the Moretele region (North West) without stable and reliable modes of water access. This echoes wider scholarship that argues that in a democratic South Africa, inequalities in water service delivery still run deep. In Moretele, the lack of reliable water access has been a problem that has been persistent, and it has not been clear how the associated institutions have adequately addressed this over time. Through the lens of political ecology and water governance, this study examined the dynamics shaping water access in the region of Moretele. Its multi- site design included three Moretele villages (Makapanstad, Ngobi and Carousel View) which shared the same Water Service Authority (WSA), the Moretele Local Municipality (MLM), and Water Service Provider (WSP), the City of Tshwane (CoT).

  • Customs, Beliefs, and Christianity Within the Life of the Bakgatla Ba Mosetlha
    CUSTOMS, BELIEFS, AND CHRISTIANITY WITHIN THE LIFE OF THE BAKGATLA BA MOSETLHA BY MOGAPI J LETEBELE Student Number: 16389434 Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF THEOLOGY IN SCIENCE OF RELIGION AND MISSIOLOGY FACULTY OF THEOLOGY University of Pretoria South Africa SUPERVISOR: PROF. S.T. KGATLA SUMMARY Christianity and African customs and beliefs continue to coexist in the African community. The community seeks to remain true to itself as far as customs and beliefs are concerned. This study seeks to explore the role of Christianity in the makeover of Africa, the subsequent degeneration of customs and beliefs on the BaKgatla Ba Mosetlha and how Christianity affects the value of life of the BaKgatla Ba Mosetlha. The BaKgatla Ba Mosetlha, a section of the BaTswana people, is made up of several villages that are inhabited not only by the BaKgatla but also by non- BaKgatla who have been allowed residence there. This research study has been undertaken by using the mixed methods approach with the use of computerised software to maximise the data collection, validity and reliability of the study. A grounded theory has been employed as it requires the researcher to constantly interact with the data from the beginning. Tribal council and village meetings have been attended and other methods have enhanced the process and the study immensely. It has emerged from the study that the tribe is as proud of their customs and beliefs as they are of the SeTswana culture. The presence of Christianity has muddied the waters for those with little background and leadership to provide guidance and direction to the tribe.
