It is surrounded by the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. On its northern borders (moving west to east) lie Namibia (formerly South West Africa), Botswana (formerly Bechuanaland), Zimbabwe (Rhodesia until 1980) and Mozambique, a Portuguese colony until 1975. Swaziland also occupies South Africa’s eastern border, and the tiny kingdom of Lesotho is surrounded by South Africa, east of center. South Africa is a vibrant, young country, emerging from three centuries of European colonialism and white domination. In 2015 the nation marks its second decade free of apartheid. This is therefore a truly revolutionary era for South Africa as it continues to evolve from its European past into an African future. You will have a unique opportunity to experience a new and vibrant nation as it strives to harmonize peoples of diverse African, Indian and European heritage into one community with a common culture after centuries of division. Part of South Africa, the Cape Colony, was once a colonial possession of the Netherlands and, since the early nineteenth century, Britain. This dual colonial legacy is reflected in the two European languages still spoken widely: English and Afrikaans.

  • Transport Sector Policy
    REPUBLIC OF RWANDA MINISTRY OF INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSPORT SECTOR POLICY December 2008 1 TRANSPORT SECTOR POLICY I. INTRODUCTION 1. The transport sector is a strategic sector for Rwanda, and the situation of being landlocked has a negative impact on economic growth and development of the country. The exceptionally high cost of transport at national as well as international levels, as well as insufficient affordable and accessible modes of transport for people in both urban and rural areas, constitute a major constraint which must be taken into account with the sector policy to achieve the short medium and long-term development goals that Rwanda has mandated. 2. The present sectoral policy defines the vision of the Government for the sector as well as its strategic orientations, which will guide its actions during the next five years. These are summarized in the Transport Sector Policy Matrix (Appendix 1). The implementation of the sector policy is ensured through medium term programmes such as the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) for the period 2009-2012 as annexed in Appendix 2. 3. The transport sector policy is inspired by the planning tools available in Rwanda, such as the Vision 2020, the Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy (EDPRS), the National Investment Strategy and the Medium Term Expenditure Framework. It takes into account other tools of reference such as the Millennium Development Objectives and the action plan of the Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Policy (SSATP). It also takes into account cross-cutting issues such as HIV/AIDS and environmental protection. I.1. Definition of the Transport Sector 4.

  • Road Transport Management Systems on Customers’ Satisfaction in Rwanda
    East African Journal of Science and Technology, Vol.9 Issue1, 2019 Clement Habimana (P.41-58) ROAD TRANSPORT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS ON CUSTOMERS’ SATISFACTION IN RWANDA Author: Clement HABIMANA SH Affiliation: University of Lay Adventists of Kigali Corresponding author Email: [email protected] Abstract The present publication has as objectives to assess the ways in which passenger road transport management systems affect the passengers ‘satisfaction in public transport and to find out the extent to which road transport passengers are satisfied with the services provided by the public transport companies in Rwanda. To achieve the results, respondents were asked about the commonly used management systems, how the management systems affect passengers’ satisfaction and the extent to which they are satisfied with the services provided by the road transport companies. Using SPSS, qualitative and quantitative analyses were conducted to understand the patterns of responses and the relationships between the dependent and independent variables. The findings revealed that the different management systems have differently affected customers’ satisfaction in the passenger road transport companies majorly through enhancing passenger comfort, timely departures and arrivals, facilitating passengers to appropriately plan for the journeys, and enhancing safety of passengers. Majority of the respondents were satisfied with the services provided by the road transport companies, with only a relatively smaller number indicating that they are not satisfied with the services of the companies. Pearson’s chi-square test of significance was conducted across the different socio- demographic variables and the results showed that passenger satisfaction does not significantly differ among the different demographic variables especially age, occupation, education levels and marital status (P>0.05).
