The development programmes implemented by these organisations affect Bushman rights with regards to public participation in the development process, land, hunting and access to resources and benefits. In discussing these issues this study draws on James Murombedzi’s (2001) proposition that community based natural resource management (CBNRM) programmes that supposedly devolve the management of natural resources to the local population, may be an extension of greater state control over resources. It will investigate the impact of what Steven Robins (2002: 835) calls “double donor vision” on the lives of the Ngwatle and Khomani Bushmen. Donors and NGOs view Bushmen as “both ‘First Peoples’ and modern citizen-in-the-making” (Robins, 2001: 833). He argues that this dual mandate to “promote the ‘cultural survival’ of indigenous people and to socialise them into becoming virtuous modern citizens” (Robins, 2001: 842) contributes to intra-community divisions and conflicts. An overview of the issue of identity as discussed by Anthea Simoes (2001) who tested Stuart Hall’s (1990, 1996, 1997) two models of identity in both communities, is necessary here to frame the discussion of development as being affected by differences in identity construction. This research therefore seeks to discuss perspectives of the process of development communication and implementation in the two Bushman communities. What type of development occurs and how does this interaction shape perceptions of development amongst the Bushmen? Different development communication paradigms adopt communication strategies and implementation programmes that best suit their goals. The modernization and dependency/ dissociation development paradigms fail to offer mechanisms to facilitate negotiation, conflict resolution and community or individual empowerment (Servaes, 1999). The development support communication (DSC) paradigm and to a larger degree the ‘another development’ paradigm, in contrast, encourage local people to actively participate in the search for solutions to development problems as perceived and experienced by them (Ansah, 1992). This research aims to illustrate, however, that these different development paradigms exist alongside each other in the field – this adds to the ‘messiness’ of development in practice. The research frames the perceptions of and engagement with development via a comparative analysis of Ngwatle and the Northern Cape Bushman communities.

My participation in the ‘Observers and Observed’ project began on my first field trip to meet members of the Northern Cape and Ngwatle Bushman communities in July 2002. My interest in the subject of development was first piqued when I attended the Graduate CCMS course entitled Media, Democracy and Development. However, actually being in the Kalahari opened my eyes to the ambivalence of development agendas more so than any text could convey. I do not aim to speak on the community members’ behalf, but rather to offer my interpretation of the knowledge I have gained of their circumstances made possible through

INTER­ WELLFIELD ·i i,.. CO'ISULT in association with BRITISH GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Keyworth, Nottingham, UK MATSHENG AREA GROUNDWATER INVESTIGATION Technical Report T9 August 1995 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Usable potable water supplies are limited to the Matsheng village areas. Economic fresh water supplies identified during recent groundwater investigations are located in village areas of Lokgwabe and Lehututu. Brackish water supplies identified outside the village areas are not available for use by livestock using communal grazing areas as they are either in areas already occupied or in areas with other land use designations. 2. No significant usable water supplies were identified in the communal grazing areas through the MAGI programme, and based on the available geophysical evidence, the chances of striking groundwater supplies for livestock in Matsheng communal areas are poor. 3. Total water consumption in the Matsheng area during the past year (to May 1995) is estimated at 254,200m' (697 m' per day). Of this amount about 150,000 m' (60%) are consumed by livestock watered at about 150 wells, boreholes and dams on pans. 4. Matsheng village households using public standpipes consume about 670 litres per household per week, or 20 litres per person per day (67% of the 30 litre DWA standard rate for rural village standpipe users). Residents of the four RAD settlements served by council bowsers received a ration of about 7 litres per person per day, or just 23% of the DWA standard.

  • Local Communities, Cbos/Trusts, and People–Park Relationships: a Case Study of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Botswana
    Local Communities, CBOs/Trusts, and People–Park Relationships: A Case Study of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Botswana Naomi Moswete and Brijesh Thapa Introduction The concept of community-based natural resources management (CBNRM) was introduced in Botswana in the early 1990s, and was premised on the idea that rural people must have the power to make decisions regarding utilization of natural resources (Mulale et al. 2013). CBNRM was built on the need for local participation and involvement in the management and utilization of protected areas, as well as community empowerment within and adjacent to them (Thakadu 2006; Mutandwa and Gadzirayi 2007). Based on these fundamental tenets, the CBNRM initiative was designed to alleviate poverty, advance conservation, strengthen rural economies, and empower communities to manage and derive equitable benefits from resources, as well as determine their long-term use (Arntzen et al. 2003; GoB 2007). Since its adoption, the implementation arm for CBNRM initiatives has been largely orchestrated through the formation and operation of a local community-based organization (CBO) and/or community trust (Moswete et al. 2009; Mbaiwa 2013). This local organizational entity (here- after referred to as a CBO/Trust) has evolved as an instrumental tool for rural communities as it provides a forum for them to negotiate their interests, problems, goals, and aspirations in a democratic and participatory process (Rozemeijer 2001; Arntzen et al. 2003; Mbaiwa 2013). This paper examines how local residents assess CBOs/Trusts, and people–park relation- ships, within the context of the Botswana portion of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park (KTP). CBNRM in Botswana In Botswana, park-based tourism and/or community ecotourism is strongly linked to the notion of CBNRM (GoB 2007).

  • Based Ecotourism Development in Southwestern Botswana
    Transboundary Protected Area Management and Community- Based Ecotourism Development in southwestern Botswana naOmi mOsWete I spent three months in Botswana pursuing my research on stakeholder perspectives and support for Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park (KTP), a transboundary conservation area with a dual ownership between Botswana and South Africa. KTP is renowned for being the first formally declared transboundary protected area in Southern Africa. My work also covered residents’ perceptions about park-based community tourism in the Kalahari region. I worked in nine villages: Ncaang, Ukhwi, Zutshwa and Tshane in Kgalagadi North, and Khawa, Struizendam, Bokspits, Tsabong and Kang in the south. Four of these villages are located within Wildlife Management Areas or the KTP buffer zone. Mixed research inquiries were used to collect data for this research. I interviewed 18 national and local public sector representatives who included local authorities (village chiefs, village groups, extension workers). About 740 household handful of villages were engaged in attitudes toward and support for the surveys were conducted within the nine villages joint venture safari hunting activities.

Machacha) ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY DEPARTMENT FOR THE YEAR 1992 PUblished by The Director Geological Survey Department Private Bag 14, Lobatse, Botswana. With the authority of The Ministry of Mineral Resources and Water Affairs Republic of Botswana 1. GENERAL The Geological Survey remained within the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Water Affairs and continued with its main functions of gathering, assessing and disseminating all data related to the rocks, mineral deposits and grouhdwater resources of Botswana. The departmental organisational structure continued to consist of the Directorate, four operational divisions of Regional Geology, Economic Geology, Hydrogeology and Geophysics together with an Administrative Division. Support to the main divisions was provided by the Drawing Office, Technical Records and Library, Chemistry and Mineral Dressing Laboratories. During the year the staffing position within the Department was consolidated with a full establishment of professional staff. There were no changes in the Directorate although the Deputy Director spent much of the year in Canada completing his PhD studies. The Principal Regional Geologist, Mr D P Piper, returned to the U K in July and was replaced by Dr R M Key who arrived from the U K in October. Within the Economic Division the evaluation of industrial minerals continued to be given priority with extensive investigations in the Dukwe-Matsitama, Selibe-Phikwe and Palapye areas. The writing of the gold monograph continued, as did the exploration for base and precious metals in the Maitengwe Schist Belt.
