Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT The Swazi kingdom grew out of the pressures associated with competition for trade and for the rich resources of Shiselweni. While centred on this area it acquired some of its characteristic features - notably a regimental system, and the dominance of a Dlamini aristocracy. Around 1815 the Swazi came under pressure from the South, and were forced to colonise the land lying north of the Lusutfu. Here they remained for some years a nation under arms, as they plundered local peoples, and were themselves swept about by the currents of the Mfecane. In time a more settled administration emerged, as the aristocracy spread out from the royal centres at Ezulwini, and this process accelerated under Mswati as he subdued recalcitrant chiefdoms, and restructured the regiments.

  • The Geology and Geochemistry of the Sterkspruit Intrusion, Barberton Mountain Land, Mpumalanga Province
    THE GEOLOGY AND GEOCHEMISTRY OF THE STERKSPRUIT INTRUSION, BARBERTON MOUNTAIN LAND, MPUMALANGA PROVINCE Gavin Patrick Conway A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Johannesburg, 1997 11 DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation is my own, unaided work. It is being submitted for the Degree of Master of Science in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other University. __I_It __ ·daYOf A~V\.-~t 19 't1-- 111 ABSTRACT The Sterkspruit Intrusion, in the south-western portion of the Barberton greenstone belt, is a sill-like body containing rocks of gabbroic to dioritic composition. It is hosted by a sequence of komatiitic basalts and komatiites of the Lower Onverwacht Group. The intrusion is considered unique in this area in that it lacks ultramafic components and has no affinities with the surrounding mafic- to- ultramafic lavas. The gabbroic suite also contains an unusual abundance of quartz, and the chill margin shows an evolved quartz-normative, tholeiitic parental magma. Based on petrographic and geochemical evidence, the intrusion can be subdivided into four gabbroic zones and a quartz diorite, which is an end product of a differentiating magma. The chill margin records an MgO content of 4.8%, an Mg# of 42, an Si02 value of 52.5% and a normative plagioclase composition of An 44. The sill-like nature of the body, indicated by geochemical trends, and the steep sub-vertical layering, point to a body that has been tilted along with the surrounding lavas.

  • A Critical Analysis of the Incorporation of Environmental Issues Into Land
    A critical analysis of the incorporation of environmental issues into land use and planning instruments of selected municipalities of the Ehlanzeni District Municipality Student name: B. Cornelius Ntiwane Student Number: 22414010 Mini-dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Natural Sciences, North-West University, Potchefstroom in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Environmental Management Supervisors: C. Steenkamp and J. Wessels September, 2012 Potchefstroom Abstract Sustainable development is achieved through the consideration of environmental, social and economic factors in planning and decision making. However, even though the environmental right contained in section 24 of the South African Constitution indirectly requires land use and planning instruments to incorporate environmental issues, developments approved by local authorities suggest that land use decisions at local level exclude environmental considerations. The main aim of the research is therefore to critically analyse whether environmental issues are incorporated in land use and planning instruments within selected municipalities of Ehlanzeni District. The research methods applied in the study include case study selection approach, document review, literature review and interviews. The research mostly identified areas of weaknesses within land use and planning instruments where environmental issues are incorporated to a limited extent or not at all. This compromises the quest for sustainable development since it was found that environmental issues are also consequently not incorporated in decision making. The research has revealed that reasons for not incorporating environmental issues in planning decisions is the lack of incorporation of environmental issues in land use and planning instruments and a lack of understanding and knowledge of the legal requirements regarding environmental issues.
