He has brought that form, or system of Bantu Education Act in this country. If the Government would have do it in the proper way, he "would have approached us, asking us to give our consent, to accept that Bantu Education Act. Or the Government would have weighed that we have to say about the Bantu Authority Act with the customs of this country...

Village councils are responsible for the operation and maintenance of the feeder pipeline network as well as water supply in the villages. To maintain the facilities water fees from N$2.35 to N$2.96 /m3 are charged to beneficiaries which are composed of village centers, commercial farms and communal land which operate irrigation, livestock and tourism activities (refer to Table 10.1-1 and Chapter 9). However, it is reported that the fee collection ratio is not 100 %. Using the latest monthly abstraction data in the eight village centres, the total water use volume of about 562,000 m3/year is estimated in Table 10.1-2.

  • Inventory of Heritage Resources in the Hardap Region
    INVENTORY OF HERITAGE RESOURCES IN THE HARDAP REGION 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PURPOSE OF PROJECT The National Heritage Council of Namibia has a national mandate of identifying places and objects of heritage significance in the country. In this regard the National heritage council seeks to address the imbalances that are apparent in the national heritage register through identifying heritage places and objects that fit in the broad definition of heritage that was adopted after the National Monuments Act 29 or 1969 was repealed and replaced by the National Heritage Council Act 27 of 2004. The following inventory of cultural and natural heritage sites in the Hardap and Karas Regions was developed in response to the need of updating the national heritage register and including sites and objects whose categories were formerly not catered for in the National Monuments Council Act (1969). 2. METHODOLOGY 2.1 Research Design Identification of cultural and natural heritage sites in the Hardap and Karas Region followed a combination of methodologies and inclusive approaches which comprised of scoping (the determination of the extent of the site and what may be performed), desktop and archival research, consultations with local communities and field work. A systematic approach that focuses on a particular district at a time will be followed in identifying the heritage sites. 2.2 Desktop Analysis An in-depth review of existing primary and secondary literature (including unpublished reports, travelogues of early travellers and diaries of missionaries) from southern Namibia was carried out very early in the research. Existing databases from among others, NGO’s, private holdings, the National Museum of Namibia, National Heritage Council and the National Archives of Namibia were consulted.

  • 11 2.2.2 Geological Description in This Chapter, General Features of Each
    Chapter 2: General Description of the Study Area 2.2.2 Geological Description In this Chapter, general features of each geological unit are presented (for more detailed description, see Chapter 4 of the Supporting Report). 1) Pre-Karoo Basement Red sandstones and shales of the Fish River Subgroup of the upper Nama Group underlie the Karoo succession throughout most of the basin. They outcrop to the west and south. They have been intersected below the Karoo in boreholes in the study area such as the deep Vreda core borehole (Wilson, 1965) and JICA test borehole No. J-9A: Klein Swartmodder (in detail, see Chapter 3 of this report and Chapter 6 of the Supporting Report). Very few of the water boreholes have been drilled through the Karoo into this in the northern basement area. 2) Karoo Sequence The Karoo Sequence in the Stampriet Artesian Basin, in terms of the SACS (1980) nomenclature, consists of a basal Dwyka Group, overlain successively by the Prince Albert Formation, the Rietmond Member and the Whitehill Member. The Rietmond Member is included as a formation at the top of the Prince Albert Formation. The Whitehill Member remains a formation on its own at the top of the succession in accordance with the 1:1 million geological map of Namibia since it overlies the Rietmond Member conformably (Heath, 1972). (1) Dwyka Group The Dwyka Group is uppermost Carboniferous to earliest Permian in age. The Dwyka Group thickens significantly to the south, being 100 m thick in the Mariental area and 210 m thick in the Asab area.

  • American Committee on Africa Introduction
    American Committee on Africa Introduction Africa i s today a continent in transition . It is the l and in which a great social revolution i s taking place . You can hear the deep rumbling of this from the Sahara Desert t o the Cape of Good Hope. Africans are united in their deep yearning for freedom and human dignity. They a r e de termined to end the exp l oitation of their lives and to have a full shar e in their own future and des tiny. The story of t his s truggl e for freedom and inde ­ pendence i s a familiar one. It has been told by every ma jor American periodical and dramatized on practically every t e l evis i on c hanne l. It i s the theme of numerous speeches and the subject of many fireside discussi ons. Despite this unusua l coverage of African affairs , there are still areas in this vast and complex continent whose problems and conditions are little known to Americans. One such area is South West Africa. About the only thing most of us Americans know about South West Africa is its geographical l ocation in t he emerging continent; north~~e st of apartheid.
