Human Department of Health Studies, University of South Africa, Pretoria, Republic of South Africa (Tel: +27 12 429 6290) Abstract This paper investigates the administrative and managerial pattern on the Road to Health Chart (RtHC) among clinics in the Makhado municipality. Retrospective observations of the processes of recordings the nurses performed on the RtHC (ṉ=36) were carried out to collect data. A checklist was used to aid the observations. Furthermore, face-to-face interviews were administered on participant nurses in collaboration with document review. The results of this paper revealed considerable omissions on the administration and management of the RtHC instrument. Crucial information was also incorrectly recorded while some was never recorded at all. Clinic managers should continuously monitor the nurses on the administration and management of the RtHC to ensure quality. Key words:

    MAKHADO LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Municipal Profile introduction The Housing Development Agency (“HDA”) is a national public development agency that promotes sustainable communities by making well located and appropriately planned land and buildings available for the development of human settlements. The Agency has developed and deployed an information system which includes municipal profiles for selected municipalities. The intent of this profile is to provide guidelines and advice to Provincial Department of Human Settlements as well as municipalities on efficient utilization of land and economic government infrastructure investments in support of integrated human settlements development. about the template The template was compiled for the Housing Development Agency using a number of different data sources. The 2011 Census information from StatsSA was used extensively to represent socio-economic information. The financial profile data was extracted from the municipalities’ most recent financial statements. The Integrated Development Plan (IDP), Housing Development Plan (MHDP) and Spatial Development Framework of each municipality also provided inputs into the municipal profile. Where possible, each source of information is quoted as Makhado Local Municipality part of the specific figure, table or chart. The municipal profile is structured in the following sections: Source: Municipal Demarcation Board (2013) • Section 1 provides background information on the Makhado Local Municipality is one of four local municipality, including land use data; municipalities in the Vhembe District. It borders with • Section 2 deals with demographic information such as Musina in the north, Thulamela in the east, Molemole in population growth and income; the west (Capricorn District) and Giyani in the south • Section 3 provides an economic overview of the (Mopani District).

    Fhatuwani Thesis

    CHAPTER 1 1.1 AIM, PURPOSE AND JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY This thesis attempts to reconstruct the manner and the effects of the forced removal of the Ravele community, from their historical homes in old Mauluma1 along the Luvuvhu River Valley. Luvuvhu is the name given to a river that dominates the area under discussion. The name Luvuvhu’ is retained until, it enters Kruger National Park, where the Vatsongas call it Phafuri - as the river flows through Chief Mphaphuli’s territory. After relocation, the whole area under discussion is now known as Levubu. Levubu is corruption of the word Luvuvhu by the local white farming community. Old Mauluma in the Luvuvhu valley was situated on the North Eastern part of Louis Trichardt. More or less 3000 Ravele community members were forcibly removed from their land, between 1920 and 1940 to new Mauluma or Beaconsfields.2 The removal constituted a severe crisis for the members of the community as they were taken from a rich ecological area and resettled 100 kilometres west of old Mauluma, a dry and rocky area. A study of the Ravele community’s removal from old Mauluma (Levubu area) is especially pertinent at this juncture because of the campaign by the previous owners to reclaim their land. Since the April 1994 election and the promise by the government that dispossessed people could reclaim their land, hundreds of the former Levubu residents (including Ravele community) have demanded compensation or return to their land. Not surprisingly, the campaign has the support of all those who were removed, but is viewed with suspicion by white farmers in Levubu and surrounding areas.

    Evaluation of Crop Production Practices by Farmers in Tshakhuma, Tshiombo and Rabali Areas in Limpopo Province of South Africa

    Journal of Agricultural Science; Vol. 6, No. 8; 2014 ISSN 1916-9752 E-ISSN 1916-9760 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Evaluation of Crop Production Practices by Farmers in Tshakhuma, Tshiombo and Rabali Areas in Limpopo Province of South Africa Sylvester Mpandeli1,2 1 University of Venda, School of Environmental Sciences, Department of Geography and Geo-Information Sciences, Thohoyandou, South Africa 2 Water Research Commission of South Africa, South Africa Correspondence: Sylvester Mpandeli, Water Research Commission, Private Bag X 03, Gezina, South Africa. E-mail: [email protected] Received: April 25, 2014 Accepted: May 6, 2014 Online Published: July 15, 2014 doi:10.5539/jas.v6n8p10 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/jas.v6n8p10 Abstract Limpopo Province is characterised by high climatic variability. This is a serious problem in Limpopo Province considering the fact that the province is in a semi-arid area with low, unreliable rainfall. The rainfall distribution pattern, for example, in the Vhembe district is characterised by wet and dry periods depending on the geographical location. In the Vhembe district high rainfall is usually experienced in the Tshakhuma and Levubu areas. Most of the rainfall received in the Vhembe district is in the form of thunderstorms and showers, and this makes rainfall in the district vary considerably. The impact of lower rainfall has negative effects on the agricultural sector, low rainfall resulting in decreases in agricultural activities, loss of livestock, shortage of drinking water, low yields and shortage of seeds for subsequent cultivation. For example, farmers in Rabali area are supposed to use hybrid seeds due to lack of sufficient irrigation water and also poor rainfall distribution compared to farmers in areas such as Tshakhuma and Tshiombo areas.
