The area is characterised by mountainous areas (featuring the Olifants River) as well as open grassland. The area has a rich cultural heritage with Ndebele people living in the area since AD1650 and white farmers settling in the late 19th Century. Iron Age settlements Five Late Iron Age stone-walled settlements were recorded during the survey. These are preliminarily associated with Ndzundza-Ndebele occupation (AD 1650 – AD 1830).

  • Evaluation of Historic, Current and Future Water Demand in the Olifants River Catchment, South Africa
    RESEARCH REPORT Evaluation of Historic, Current 118 and Future Water Demand in the Olifants River Catchment, South Africa Matthew P. McCartney and Roberto Arranz International Water Management IWMI is a Future Harvest Center Institute supported by the CGIAR Research Reports IWMI’s mission is to improve water and land resources management for food, livelihoods and nature. In serving this mission, IWMI concentrates on the integration of policies, technologies and management systems to achieve workable solutions to real problems—practical, relevant results in the field of irrigation and water and land resources. The publications in this series cover a wide range of subjects—from computer modeling to experience with water user associations—and vary in content from directly applicable research to more basic studies, on which applied work ultimately depends. Some research reports are narrowly focused, analytical and detailed empirical studies; others are wide-ranging and synthetic overviews of generic problems. Although most of the reports are published by IWMI staff and their collaborators, we welcome contributions from others. Each report is reviewed internally by IWMI’s own staff and Fellows, and by external reviewers. The reports are published and distributed both in hard copy and electronically (www.iwmi.org) and where possible all data and analyses will be available as separate downloadable files. Reports may be copied freely and cited with due acknowledgment. Research Report 118 Evaluation of Historic, Current and Future Water Demand in the Olifants River Catchment, South Africa Matthew P.

  • Sekhukhune II and the Pedi Operations Ofthe Anglo-Boer War, 1899-1902
    Pedi operations Sekhukhune II and the Pedi Operations ofthe Anglo-Boer War, 1899-1902 Felix Malunga' Introduction In this paper an attempt will be made to demonstrate how the Pedi under the leadership of Sekhukhune II took advantage of wartime conditions during the Anglo - Boer War to reshape the pattern of colonial relations imposed on them by the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek, to attempt to re-establish the dominance of the Sekhukhune House in the eastern Transvaal and to negotiate favourable terms with the occupying British military forces once the ZAR was defeated. It will also be shown that often Sekhukhune II deliberately followed a policy of not eliminating republican govemment officials, Boer farmers and their families as well as the Berlin missionaries in order not to antagonise the British and Boer military authorities against him. However, Sekhukhune II subjected all these groups to frequent harassment. Another primary aim of Sekhukhune II was to concentrate on punishing "sell-out usurpers" of the Pedi paramountcy who had betrayed the Pedi polity by pledging allegiance to Abel Erasmus, the Native Commissioner, who had represented Boer hegemony over the Pedi between 1881 and 1899. Again, Sekhukhune II punished Pedi Christian converts of the Berlin missionary society who had abandoned and undermined Pedi traditions and culture by converting and adhering to Christian principles. In this respect, a number of Berlin mission stations became battlefields of the warring Pedi factions. In the process these mission stations were neutralised as centres of the Berlin missionary activities. It was only after 1902 that attempts were made by the missionary authorities to rebuild these mission stations.
