The survey forms part of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) prospecting application for Moloi Granite (Pty) Ltd and is made in terms of the National Environmental Management Act (Act 107 of 1998). During the survey a Late Iron Age stone-walled settlement (Site 1) with two associated cattle outposts (Sites 2 and 3) were recorded. The sites probably functioned as part of network of settlement during a period of upheaval known as the Difaqane. Sites associated with this period date to the early AD 1830s and were probably associated with the Bakwena ba Mogopa.

The constitutional mandate of the Commission is to: Promote human rights through education and training and raising public awareness Protect human rights through addressing human rights violations and seeking appropriate redress Monitoring and assessing the observance of human rights, particularly economic and social rights The Commission's two focal areas, informed by the strategic objectives, namely the realisation of equality and eradication of poverty, influenced the strong rural community thrust of the 2006 Human Rights Week (HRW) and informed the outreach work done with communities. The Commission celebrates Human Rights Week annually and uses this occasion to: Raise human rights awareness Fast-track the delivery of socio-economic rights amongst communities Monitor government's provision of access to economic and social rights Increase the visibility of the Commission through outreach programmes and the media Investigate human rights violations and seek effective redress. Each year the Commission identifies a particular province as a focus of activities for Human Rights Week.

  • 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.
