Cilliers Co-supervisor: Prof T. Elmqvist Assistant supervisor: Dr. M.J Du Toit Mei 2016 2 Health clinic gardens in the North-West Province, South Africa, as complex social- ecological systems Ancia Cornelius 3 PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Living in South Africa gave me the opportunity to grow up with diversity – diversity of cultures, diversity of personalities and beliefs, diversity of rich and poor, diversity of flora and fauna and an incredible amount of different biomes. Having this privilege, I learned many life-lessons I believe I would not have learned growing up in a different setting. It taught me the value of diversity and species richness and its crucial role in adaptation and survival. South Africa has a fascinating wealth, not measured in economic status but measured in a unique mix of fauna and flora, human races and cultures, geology and biomes. It is also a great pleasure and privilege to be part of studies on the intricate ecology and sociology associated with this country. A large number of people participated in this study and made a contribution to its success and even though I may not have the opportunity to thank them personally, I would like them to know my sincere appreciation for their involvement, enthusiasm and support. Dr Andrew Robinson - Acting Head of Department and Deputy Director-General: Health Services - for his involvement in the initiation of this project and his role as mediator between the academics and Department of Health Ms M. Rakau - Chief Director of Bojanala Health District - and her entire management team for giving consent to do the survey All facility managers, groundsmen and other stakeholders – for making time to answer my questions My supervisor, Prof S.S. Cilliers, for his guidance, enthusiasm, constant support and encouragement throughout the study My co-supervisor, Prof T. Elmqvist, for his insights and for hosting me at Stockholm Resilience Centre, Sweden My assistant supervisor, Dr M.J. Du Toit, for her continual hard work, endurance at field trips and guidance throughout the study Prof S. Siebert and Mr D. Komape of the AP Goossens Herbarium (NWU) for their time and effort in identifying the plant species of this study. Dr S.

Tëngo of Stockholm Resilience Centre for their guidance and perspective on my study 4 National Research Fund (NRF) for their financial support The North-West University for financial support and hosting me as a student 5 ABSTRACT The world’s urban population (54%) is currently increasing. The fastest growth rates are expected to occur in urban areas of Africa and Asia. Since urban areas will continue to expand, ecological studies should also take social influences into consideration. Changes in social- ecological systems are often studied by using a resilience thinking approach. The diversity of biophysical and social factors can play an important role in maintaining resilience of a social- ecological system. Complex or “wicked” problems can occur at the interface of social and ecological systems which contain many interacting factors making it difficult to solve. Poverty, food and nutrition security and biodiversity loss are some of South Africa’s main “wicked” problems. Although food is available in most parts of South Africa, the nutrient content of the food consumed is not sufficient. Health clinics were established across South Africa (in urban and rural areas) to provide free health care, but their gardens may also have several advantages. The first aim of this study was to determine the plant species composition, floristic and functional diversity at each health clinic garden and to compare it to home/domestic gardens in the North-West Province as well as over the different local municipalities of the Bojanala District Municipality. The second aim was to determine the resource diversity (social and physical) of these gardens and to compare them over the different local municipalities. The third aim was to determine the perceptions of the different stakeholders on ecosystem services and disservices at health clinic gardens. A subset of best practice clinics was also identified which can contribute towards developing a management framework to ensure a more resilient system of health clinic gardens in South Africa. Results showed that health clinic gardens are similar to home/domestic gardens in the North-West Province regarding dominant families, dominant genera and species representation except for the greater diversity of exotic ornamental species and endangered species present in home/domestic gardens. No clear difference could be found between local municipalities according to plant species composition. There was greater physical and social resource diversity at Moses Kotane and Moretele Local municipalities than at Rustenburg (physical) and Madibeng (social) Local municipalities. Although the individual perceptions of the stakeholders differed according to their role at the clinic garden, results showed that food and sense of place (as well as the spiritual value of the garden) were overall perceived as the most important ecosystem services of clinic gardens. Damonsville, Leseding and Reagile clinics obtained the highest score in comparison with other health clinic gardens in the Bojanala District Municipality and are good examples of best practise regarding diversity of natural, social and physical resources as well as perceptions of ecosystem services. It is suggested that the health clinic gardens should be managed using a step-by-step approach, starting with the limitations at the best practice (highest ranking scores) health clinic gardens. Communication between all stakeholders involved at the clinic gardens as 6 well as with the community is one of the key factors that can contribute to successful management of health clinic gardens. Key words: Urbanisation, social-ecological systems, resilience, nutrition security, urban gardens, health clinic gardens 7 OPSOMMING Die stedelike wêreldbevolking (54%) is tans besig om toe te neem. Die vinnigste groeikoers word in Afrika en Asië verwag. Aangesien stedelike omgewings besig is om uit te brei, moet ekologiese studies ook sosiale invloede in ag neem. Veranderinge in sosio-ekologiese sisteme word dikwels bestudeer deur van die veerkragtigheidsbenadering gebruik te maak. Die diversiteit van biofisiese en sosiale faktore kan ‘n belangrike rol in die handhawing van veerkragtigheid in ʼn sosio-ekologiese sisteem speel. Ingewikkelde, moeilik oplosbare (“wicked”) probleme wat baie interaktiewe faktore bevat, kan by die koppelvlak van sosiale en ekologiese sisteme voorkom. Armoede, voedsel- en nutriëntsekuriteit asook biodiversiteitsverlies is sommige van hierdie probleme wat tans in Suid-Afrika heers. Alhoewel voedsel in meeste dele van Suid-Afrika beskikbaar is, is die voedingswaarde van die voedsel wat ingeneem word, nie voldoende nie. Gesondheidsklinieke is in stedelike en plaaslike dele van Suid-Afrika gestig om gratis gesondheidsorg te verskaf. Die tuine van hierdie klinieke kan ook verskeie voordele vir die gemeenskap inhou. Die eerste doelwit van hierdie studie was om die plantspesiesamestelling, floristiese en funksionele diversiteit by elke gesondheidskliniektuin te bepaal. Hierdie aspekte van gesondheidskliniektuine is ook met huistuine in die Noordwesprovinsie sowel as oor die verskillende plaaslike munisipaliteite van die Bojanala Distrikmunisipaliteit vergelyk. Die tweede doelwit was om die hulpbrondiversiteit (sosiale en fisiese) van hierdie tuine te bepaal en om dit oor die verskillende plaaslike munisipaliteite te vergelyk. Die derde doelwit was om die persepsies van die verskillende deelnemers aan tuinboupraktyke op ekosisteemdienste en -nie-dienste by gesondheidskliniektuine te bepaal. ʼn Versameling van “beste praktyk” klinieke, wat kan bydra tot die ontwikkeling van ʼn bestuursraamwerk, is geïdentifiseer. Hierdie klinieke het die potensiaal om ʼn meer veerkragtige sisteem van gesondheidskliniektuine in Suid-Afrika te verseker. Die resultate het getoon dat gesondheidskliniektuine baie ooreenkomste toon met huistuine in die Noordwesprovinsie in terme van dominante plantfamilies, -genusse en -spesies. Die enigste verskille is ‘n groter diversiteit van uitheemse ornamentele spesies en bedreigde spesies wat in huistuine teenwoordig is. Geen duidelike verskil kon tussen plaaslike munisipaliteite volgens plantspesiesamestelling gevind word nie. Daar was ʼn groter fisiese en sosiale hulpbrondiversiteit by Moses Kotane en Moretele Plaaslike Munisipaliteite as by Rustenburg (fisiese) en Madibeng (sosiale) Plaaslike Munisipaliteite. Alhoewel die individuele persepsies van die deelnemers volgens hulle rol by die kliniektuine verskil het, het resultate getoon dat voedsel en “sin van plek” (asook die spirituele waarde van die tuin) algeheel as die belangrikste ekosisteemdienste

Herbarium Soutpansbergensis, P.O. Box 1734, Makhado, 0920. Abstract The Major Vegetation Types and plant communities of the Soutpansberg Centre of Endemism are described in detail with special reference to the Soutpansberg Conservancy and the Blouberg Nature Reserve. Phytosociological data from 466 sample plots were ordinated using a Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DECORANA) and classified using Two–way Indicator Species Analysis (TWINSPAN). The resulting classification was further refined with table–sorting procedures based on the Braun–Blanquet floristic–sociological approach of vegetation classification using MEGATAB. Eight Major Vegetation Types were identified and described as Eragrostis lehmanniana var. lehmanniana–Sclerocarya birrea subsp. caffra BNR Northern Plains Bushveld, Euclea divinorum–Acacia tortilis BNR Southern Plains Bushveld, Englerophytum magalismontanum–Combretum molle BNR Mountain Bushveld, Adansonia digitata–Acacia nigrescens Soutpansberg Arid Northern Bushveld, Catha edulis–Flueggia virosa Soutpansberg Moist Mountain Thickets, Diplorhynchus condylocarpon–Burkea africana Soutpansberg Leached Sandveld, Rhus rigida var. rigida–Rhus magalismontanum subsp. coddii Soutpansberg Mistbelt Vegetation and Xymalos monospora–Rhus chirendensis Soutpansberg Forest Vegetation. 26 Introduction The Soutpansberg Conservancy (SC) and the Blouberg Nature Reserve (BNR) reveal extremely rich diversities of plant communities relative to the sizes of these conservation areas (Van Wyk & Smith 2001).

  • 12 Edible Indigenous South African Plants
    12 edible indigenous South African plants Posted on 22 October, 2015 by MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet in Conservation, Food & Wine and the MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet post series. — 2 Comments Posted: October 22, 2015 Written by: Roushanna Gray and Gael Gray The Botanical Society of South Africa encourages indigenous gardening, awareness about conservation, and the wise use of indigenous plants in southern Africa. Good Hope Garden Nursery shared some great tips on indigenous plants that you can easily grow and harvest in your very own garden for medicinal remedies and exciting culinary experiences. We have a treasure trove of edible and medicinal plants within our rich plant kingdom in South Africa. It is important to know what part of the plant to use and how it can be used for culinary concoctions; some are edible only in certain seasons or after certain preparations. Below are a selection of a few of my favourite, pretty well- known wild flavours that are popular among landscapers so you may even have some growing! Planting these indigenous edibles into your garden gives you easy access to fresh flavours that, at the same time, can handle our harsh South African climate as they are water-wise and easier to maintain than your classic herb or veg. This makes it that much simpler to connect to your food and the rhythm of nature in a fresh and wild way, and enjoy playing with new recipes using these ingredients picked on your doorstep. The local birds, bees and insects will be grateful too. 1. Pelargonium culallatum (wild malva) – The leaves of this plant diffused into tea can be used to treat stomach disorders.

  • A Consideration of Widows' Testimonies
    PINS, 2017, 55, 38 – 60, http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2309-8708/2017/n55a4 “We do not want the Commission to allow the families to disappear into thin air”1: A consideration of widows’ testimonies at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Farlam (Marikana) Commission of Inquiry Abstract Cynthia Kros Using Gayatri Spivak’s famous question about whether History Workshop the “subaltern” can speak, this article addresses the University of the testimonies given to the Farlam Commission of Inquiry Witwatersrand by the widows of miners who had been killed in police Johannesburg shootings while engaged in an unprotected strike at Lonmin’s platinum mine at Marikana in August 2012. Keywords The widows were required to face down the dominant Mlangeni, TRC, Marikana, narrative disseminated by mine management and political widow, Farlam other business as well as state interests, which held Commission, Lonmin, that the police had acted in self-defence after the subaltern, narrative strikers had threatened to attack them. I argue that the widows consciously sought to undo the dominant narrative through their testimonies, assuming the role of a new kind of “political widow” as theorised by Mamphela Ramphele (1996). The article begins with a detailed consideration of the testimony of Sepati Mlangeni whose husband had been murdered by an agent of the apartheid state, delivered to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in the 1990s. This sets the scene for the questions that might be asked and the observations made of the Marikana widows’ testimonies presented to the Farlam Commission almost twenty years later. 1 Nombulelo Ntonga, widow of Bongani Nqongophele Marikana (13 August 2014: 34913).
