APOSTOLIC VICARIATE OF INGWVUMA, SOUTH AFRICA Description The Apostolic Vicariate of Ingwavuma is in the northeastern part of the Republic of South Africa. It includes the districts of Ingwavuma, Ubombo and Hlabisa. The Holy See entrusted this territory to the Servite Order in 1938 and the Tuscan Province accepted the mandate to implant the Church in this area (implantatio ecclesiae). Bishop Costantino Barneschi, Vicar Apostolic of Bremersdorp (now Manzini) asked the American Province to send friars for the new mission. Fra Edwin Roy Kinch (1918-2003) arrived in Swaziland in 1947. Other friars came from the United States and the Apostolic Prefecture of Ingwavuma was born. On November 19, 1990 the territory became an Apostolic Vicariate. After the Second World War the missionary territory was assumed directly by the friars of the North American provinces. By a decree of the 1968 General Chapter the then existing communities were established as the Provincial Vicariate of Zululand, a dependency of the US Eastern Province. At present there are 10 Servite friars who are members of the Zululand Delegation OSM. Servites The friars of the Zululand delegation work in five communities: Hlabisa, Ingwavuma, KwaNgwanase, Mtubtuba and Ubombo; there are 9 solemn professed (2 local, 2 Canadian and 5 from the US).

Swaziland's Proposed Land Deal with South Africa - the Case of Ingwavuma and Kangwane*
Swaziland's Proposed Land Deal with South Africa - The Case of Ingwavuma and Kangwane* By Wolfgang Senftleben Since the Gambia united with Senegal under a Confederation recently, Swaziland (with an area of 17 363 sq.km) has been the smallest country in mainland Africa' (followed by Dj ibouti with 21 783 sq.km), but this could change very soon. In mid-1982 it was announced that the Republic of South Africa is willing to transfer two of its land areas totalling approximately 10 000 sq.km to the Kingdom of Swaziland. Together, these two areas would increase Swaziland's size by more than 60 per cent and give the hitherto land-locked state2 access to the sea with a potential port at Kosi Bay, just below Mozambique. The principal benefits for both countries are only too obvious: For Swaziland it means a realization of a long-standing dream of the late King Sobhuza II to incorporate all lands of the traditionally Swazi realm, besides ending Swaziland's status as a land-locked state. For South Africa it would be a major success of her apartheid policy (or territorial separation) by excommunicating two of its African tribaI areas with a population of together 850 000 people, which would give South Africa a tacit quasi-re cognition of her homeland policy, besides the advantage of creating a buffer zone between white-ruled South Africa and Marxist-orientated Mozambique for security reasons. However, such land transactions are carried out at the expenses of the local population in the respective areas of Ingwavuma and KaNgwane.

Methodist Church of Southern Africa
METHODIST CHURCH OF SOUTHERN AFRICA NATAL COASTAL DISTRICT MS 21 003 This is a Finding Aid for an amalgamation of material from the Natal Coastal District and consists primarily of content deposited in Cory Library by Rev. John Borman and Bishop Mike Vorster of the Natal Coastal District. It does not include previously catalogued material. Items have been arranged according to 8 main categories, and the contents of each folder briefly described. Folders are numbered consecutively within each category, so that one will find an A3, B3, C3 etc. The eight categories are: A. Zululand Mission (51 folders, plus photographs, c. 1900 – 2007) B. Indian Mission (6 folders, c. 1914 -1985) C. District Mission Department (26 folders, c. 1979 – 2006) D. Christian Education and Youth Department (18 folders, c. 1984 -2008) E. Women’s Auxiliary, Manyano, Biblewomen, Deacons, Evangelists and Local Preachers (28 folders, c. 1917 – 2008) F. Circuits, Societies and the District Executive (91 folders, c. 1854 – 2008) G. Methodist Connexional Office (Durban) (15 folders, c. 1974 – 2008) H. Miscellaneous (25 folders, c. 1981 – 2008) Natal Coastal District includes the metropolitan circuits of Durban, as well as the smaller urban and rural circuits northwards to the Mozambican border. Early mission work in Natal and the then Crown Colony of Zululand led to the formation of the Zululand Mission, after Rev. Thomas Major reported on the need for support at Melmoth, Mahlabatini, Nongoma, Ubombo, Ingwavuma and Maputaland. Early work was performed by local evangelists under one Superintendent. Threlfall Mission was established in Maputaland, but later re-sited to nearby Manguzi, where a Methodist Mission Hospital was established in 1942.

Understanding the Educational Needs of Rural Teachers
UNDERSTANDING THE EDUCATIONAL NEEDS OF RURAL TEACHERS A CASE STUDY OF A RURAL EDUCATION INNOVATION IN KWANGWANASE. By Cecily Mary Rose Salmon Submitted as a dissertation component (which counts for 25 % of the degree) in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education (Social Theory). University of Natal, Durban. December 1992. CONTENTS ABSTRACT LIST OF MAPS AND TABLES ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS INTRODUCTION CHAPTER ONE: Education in South Africa or "Bless my homeland forever". CHAPTER TWO: KwaNgwanase and the background to the Mobile Library Project (MLP) 1 CHAPTER THREE: Methodology, fieldwork and data analysis. CHAPTER FOUR: Conclusions and recommendations. APPENDIX 1: Questionnaire for Mobile Library Project teachers. BIBLIOGRAPHY (i) ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the following key educational issues: the needs of rural teachers, the role of rural parents in education and the nature of support provided by non-governmental organisations. The literature on Soufh African education, rural education and in-service education and training provides a theoretical framework for the evaluation of an education innovation which began in 1986 in KwaNgwanase, in the Ubombo Circuit of the KwaZulu Department of Education and Culture. The focus of the study is to show how an innovation can be adapted by rural teachers to suit their own specific needs. It is acknowledged that improving teacher support and school provision within a rural area in South Africa is only a small step in transforming an inadequate education context. It remains the role of the state to provide a meaningful system of education for all South Africans, but communities can, and should, play a role in deciding how this service can best be utilised.

In Maputaland
University of Pretoria – Morley R C (2006) Chapter 2 Study Area Introduction Maputaland is located at the southernmost end of the Mozambique Coastal Plain. This plain extends from Somalia in the north to northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, in the south (Watkeys, Mason & Goodman 1993). It encapsulates an area of about 26,734 km2 defined as the Maputaland Centre of Endemism (see van Wyk 1994). This centre is bordered by the Inkomati-Limpopo River in the north, the Indian Ocean in the east, the Lebombo Mountains in the west and the St. Lucia estuary to the south. Biogeographically the northern boundary of the centre is not as clearly defined as the other borders (van Wyk 1994). Earlier authors (e.g. Moll 1978; Bruton & Cooper 1980) considered Maputaland as an area of 5,700 km2 in north-eastern KwaZulu- Natal. These authors clearly did not always consider areas beyond South Africa in their descriptions. There has been some contention over the name Maputaland, formerly known as Tongaland in South Africa (Bruton 1980). Nevertheless this now seems largely settled and the name Maputaland is taken to be politically acceptable (van Wyk 1994) and is generally accepted on both sides of the South Africa/Mozambique border. Maputaland is the northern part of the Maputaland-Pondoland Region, a more arbitrarily defined area of about 200 000 km2 of coastal belt between the Olifants- Limpopo River in the north (24oS), to the Great Kei River (33oS) in the south, bounded to the west by the Great Escarpment and to the east by the Indian Ocean (van Wyk 1994).
