GENERAL 1.1 Introduction The Geological Survey Department 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, miner~ deposi ts and groundwater resources of Botswana. The depart- '.c.:: mental organisation remained as in previous years and consists of the Directorate, three operational divisions of Field Geology, Hydrogeology, and Geophysics, plus an administrative and training division. Support to these divisions was provided by the Chemistry and Industrial Minerals laboratories, drawing office, library and records, and drilling sections. The staffing position within the professional and technical cadres remained reasonably satisfactory, making 1983 a generally productive year in all the operational divisions. The posts of senior chemist and technical records officer remained vacant throughout the year, and following various staff changes seven professional vacancies existed at the year's end. Two long serving members of the department, Mr. R.J. Peart, geophysicist, and Mr. E. Milner, electronics engineer, returned to the U.K. on completion of their tours, both having served in the department for eight years. Mr. Milner's post was 1 filled by Mr. B. Tlhabologang whose appointment increased the number of localised professional posts to five. Dr. C. Mortimer, Assistant Director, left in November on completion of his tour of service and his post was occupied by Mr. M.P. Modisi on confirmation of his appointment to PR1 grade. The new Assistant Director represents the first stage of localising the Directorate, a localisation programme that will be completed in early 1984 when the Director and Deputy Director posts will be taken over by Mr. T.P. Machacha and Mr. M. Sekwale respectively, on completion of the present incumbents' tours of service A generally satisfactory work programme was completed by the Field Geology division. The final reports of the field surveys conducted last year were completed and field mapping continued with the production of the first edition geological sheets of poorly exposed ground in southern Bot~wana (QDS 2425D, 2525C, D). The division continued with its strong exploration activity in the field of industrial minerals and, to a much lesser extent, in base metal exploration. The Mineral Resource Report No. 6, describing the Carbonate deposits in Botswana, was published during the year. A close overview of the exploration work undertaken by the private exploration companies was main­ tained where the main thrust continued to be directed towards the search for diamondiferous kimberlites and the detailed evaluation of the known coalfields. Both the Hydrogeology and Geophysics diviSions were 2 heavily involved in groundwater exploration and development projects. A considc?rable amount of the work undertaken was in direct response to the countrywide drought conditions, and to the serious water supply shortage to the Gaborone­ Lobatse area. In association with the Department of Water Affairs much effort has been directed to the search for groundwater in the eastern part of the country. Despite the emergency drought relief projects, work continued on the production of the 1 :500,000 hydrogeological reconnaissance map sheets, and support on this programme is being provided through a research project being under­ taken jointly with the Department of Geology, University of Botswana. The geophysics division supported a research project by the University of Michigan, USA, whereby heat flow measurements were obtained from deep boreholes drilled at several localities throughout Botswana. One very important finding from this study was the identification of high rock temperatures within the Kgaswe coalfield. The principal geophysicist, Mr. D.G. Hutchins, was heavily involved in the organisation of a seminar entitled 'Mineral Exploration in the Kalahari'. The seminar, organised jointly with the Botswana Geoscientists Association, and which was chaired by Professor D. Pretorius of the University of Witwatersrand and attended by more than 120 delegates, was formally opened by the Minister for Mineral Resources and Water Affairs, Dr. G.K.T. Chiepe. A strong input to the seminar proceedings was provided by the department with 3 the release of the results of the various bilateral funded mineral exploration projects undertaken in the Kalahari within the last three years. In the support section the Drawing Office had a very 'full work programme and towards the year's end much effort was directed towards completion of the second edition of the Geological Map of Botswana, to be published in early 1984. In the, chemistry laboratory Mr. Sutcliffe departed in July on completion of his contract and for most of the second half of the year only one professional chemist was in post, )who was, however, strongly supported by a full complement of technical staff. Mr. D. AlIen, diamond driller, joined the department in January, and the second driller post was occupied in May by Mr. R. Gagne, who is to take charge of a CIDA funded driller training project. Two of the bilateral funded technical aid projects were completed during the year. The final phase of the CIDA funded GS-12 project, Airborne Magnetic Survey, was completed with the preparation of a final report and accompanying maps. The project leader, Mr. H. Meixner, left Botswana in July. Within the GS-17 project, Mineral Exploration in the Kalahari, that part of the project funded by the Republic of West Germany was completed in December and an interim report prepared, with the final published report becoming available in early 1984. The U.K. funded part of the GS-17 project, over the Molopo Farms area finalised all the required field work and the 4 final report will be completed in mid-1984. Two new bilateral aid projects were initiated, both funded by CIDA. The diamond driller training project commenced in May, it will continue for two years and is designed to produce Batswana diamond drillers at the T3 level. The CIDA funded programme to localise the geophysics division commenced and four Batswana students have been sent to Canada for graduate training in geophysics. The project includes facility for technician training to diploma level and it is anticipated that in total six students will be sent for degree courses and eight for technical training, the total input by the project being some 52 student years. Both the U.K. and the Republic of West Germany have expressed interest in financing and undertaking further mineral exploration projects. Subject to formal approval by Botswana and the donor governments it is anticipated that a mineral exploration project over the Vumba schist belt, Northeast District and funded by West Germany, will commence in 1984. The U.K. government are reviewing the possibility of undertaking a mineral exploration/mapping project over the Ghanzi ridge, although this project may not commence before 1985. It is also anticipated that other groundwater or mineral exploration studies, perhaps funded by Italy, France and Sweden, will be initiated in 1984. 5 HYOROGEOLOGICAL RECONNAISSANCE MAP OF THE REPUBLIC OF BOTSWANA AI SCAII.

  • 2011 Population & Housing Census Preliminary Results Brief
    2011 Population & Housing Census Preliminary Results Brief For further details contact Census Office, Private Bag 0024 Gaborone: Tel 3188500; Fax 3188610 1. Botswana Population at 2 Million Botswana’s population has reached the 2 million mark. Preliminary results show that there were 2 038 228 persons enumerated in Botswana during the 2011 Population and Housing Census, compared with 1 680 863 enumerated in 2001. Suffice to note that this is the de-facto population – persons enumerated where they were found during enumeration. 2. General Comments on the Results 2.1 Population Growth The annual population growth rate 1 between 2001 and 2011 is 1.9 percent. This gives further evidence to the effect that Botswana’s population continues to increase at diminishing growth rates. Suffice to note that inter-census annual population growth rates for decennial censuses held from 1971 to 2001 were 4.6, 3.5 and 2.4 percent respectively. A close analysis of the results shows that it has taken 28 years for Botswana’s population to increase by one million. At the current rate and furthermore, with the current conditions 2 prevailing, it would take 23 years for the population to increase by another million - to reach 3 million. Marked differences are visible in district population annual growths, with estimated zero 3 growth for Selebi-Phikwe and Lobatse and a rate of over 4 percent per annum for South East District. Most district growth rates hover around 2 percent per annum. High growth rates in Kweneng and South East Districts have been observed, due largely to very high growth rates of villages within the proximity of Gaborone.

  • Ethnoarchaeology of Pottery: Style and Technology Boundaries in Southeast Botswana
    UNIVERSITY OF THE WITWATERSRAND, SCHOOL OF GEOGRAPHY, ARCHAEOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Ethnoarchaeology of Pottery: Style and Technology Boundaries in Southeast Botswana ______________________________________________________________________________ Phenyo Churchill Thebe A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own unaided work for submission for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of the Witwatersrand. The degree is by publication and my publications, submitted paper and contribution in co-authored papers are detailed in the text. The thesis has not been submitted before for any degree or examination at any other University. Phenyo Churchill Thebe Date 22 March 2017 i Abstract The notion that ceramic styles mark ethnic and linguistic groups is problematic. The notion perceives cultures as geographically discrete with distinct material and cultural traits. Research in the 1960s has demonstrated that social boundaries are a product of interaction and not isolation. Ethnoarchaeological research in the 1970s and 1980s adopted information exchange and social interaction models to understand stylistic boundaries. These studies show that material culture style does not always mark ethnic or linguistic boundaries and may not be prominent if there is no competition for resources. Depending on a number of factors, style variations in material culture may mark the style of an individual, a community of practice or social identity. Other factors are also relevant; the matter is complex. To investigate this complexity, an ethnoarchaeological study was launched to study the products of 41 contemporary potters affiliated with different social, political and linguistic groups in south-eastern Botswana.

In this stats brief, the reference point of the population projections was the 2011 Population and Housing Census, in which the total population by age and sex is available. Population projections give a picture of what the future size and structure of the population by sex and age might look like. It is based on knowledge of the past trends, and, for the future, on assumptions made for three components of population change being fertility, mortality and migration. The projections are derived from mathematical formulas that use current populations and rates of growth to estimate future populations. The population projections presented is for Cities, Towns and Villages excluding associated localities for the year 2020. Generally, population projections are more accurate for large populations than for small populations and are more accurate for the near future than the distant future.
