  • Wildlife-Livestock Interface, Veterinary Cordon Fence Damage
    Mogotsi et al. Pastoralism: Research, Policy and Practice (2016) 6:21 Pastoralism: Research, Policy DOI 10.1186/s13570-016-0068-7 and Practice RESEARCH Open Access Wildlife-livestock interface, veterinary cordon fence damage, lack of protection zones, livestock theft and owner apathy: Complex socio-ecological dynamics in Foot and Mouth disease control in southern Africa Kabo Mogotsi1*, Olaotswe Ernest Kgosikoma2 and Keotshepile Fredric Lubinda3 Abstract Current efforts to control and possibly eradicate the highly contagious and economically important Foot and Mouth disease (FMD) in Botswana are hampered by numerous inextricably linked constraints. These constraints were unveiled using a questionnaire-based approach among 94 communal area livestock owners in eastern Botswana’sZone6 (FMD-free zone without vaccination, straddling part of the Central and North East Districts, sharing a common border with Zimbabwe to the east). The area has a history of FMD, with the last outbreaks recorded in 2002 and 2003 prior to the study. Some of the most outstanding constraints in FMD control were (1) rampant cross-border livestock theft, (2) veterinary cordon fence damage attributed to illegal immigrants and an ever-increasing elephant population, (3) livestock interaction with FMD-susceptible wild ungulates on the same rangelands, and (4) an absence of a protection zone (formerly ‘buffer zone’) along the Botswana/Zimbabwean border as well as (5) general apathy towards daily livestock management demonstrated by some owners/herders. The paper further discusses these complex socio- ecological constraints as perceived by livestock owners and offers possible policy considerations including targeted FMD awareness campaigns, strengthening of FMD risk analysis capacity and synchronization of surveillance and control strategies among neighbouring countries as well as adoption of approaches such as compartmentalization and commodity-based trade to enable greater access of Botswana’s beef to high-value international markets.

  • State of the Nation Address by His Excellency Lt
    STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS BY HIS EXCELLENCY LT. GEN. SERETSE KHAMA IAN KHAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF BOTSWANA, TO THE FIRST SESSION OF THE ELEVENTH PARLIAMENT - “MOVING BOTSWANA FORWARD” INTRODUCTION 1. Madam Speaker, before we begin may I request that we observe a moment of silence for those of our citizens who have departed from us during the past year. Thank you. 2. Honourable Members, it is my pleasure to once more present an updated assessment of how Government intends to move Botswana forward by seizing opportunities to secure our future. 3. As this is the first session of the 11th Parliament, let me preface my remarks by welcoming the newly elected members of this Assembly. Let me further congratulate you Madam Speaker on your own election. 4. Today's gathering is an outcome of our 11th consecutive general election. As is our tradition, the ballot was conducted in a peaceful, free and fair manner. For this we can once more thank Batswana in general, as well as the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) and other individuals and organisations that helped to ensure the poll’s success. 5. In any democracy elections are the means to the greater end of forming a Government capable of translating the popular will into public service delivery. We who have the honour of sitting in this House are accountable to the hundreds of thousands who entrusted us with their votes. Although divided in their choices, the voters were united by a shared desire for a better future. It is, therefore, our responsibility to ensure that together we deliver that future by at all times putting the national interest before our own.

  • Dams and Infrastructure: Botswana
    About Tutorial Glossary Documents Images Maps Google Earth Please provide feedback! Click for details You are here: Home>Resource Management >Water Infrastructure >Dams & Infrastructure>Botswana Dams and Infrastructure: Botswana In the north- eastern portion of Botswana there are currently six large storage dams within the Limpopo basin with an estimated total storage capacity of 355 mm³ (LBPTC 2010). There are approximately 100 other small dams managed by the Ministry of Agriculture, mainly for watering livestock. Some of the larger dams are discussed as follows. GaboroneDam Gaboronedam is one of the oldest in the basin. Built in 1966, it has a storage capacity of 144 Mm³ and a mean annual inflow of 37 Mm³ / year (LBPTC 2010). The dam in located along the southern border of Botswana with South Africa as shown in the interactive component to the right. LetsibogoDam The next largest dam, Letsibogo, has a storage capacity of 104 Mm³ and mean annual inflow of 68 Mm³/ year (LBPTC 2010). Letsibogo, located on the east side of country near the border with Zimbabwe, was built in 1997 and has a height of 17 m. ShasheDam The Shashe Dam is located just northwest of the Lesibogo Dam and was built in 1972 (LBPTC 2010). It is 17 m high and has full storage capacity of 88 mm³. The mean inflow annually is 49 mm³/ year. Gaborone Dam, Botswana. Source: Vogel 2005 ( click to enlarge ) Dikgatlhong Dam- Under Construction Construction of Dikgatlhong Dam is estimated to be completed by 2012. Upon completion it will be, by far, the largest dam in thebasin in Botswana with a full storage capacity of 400 Mm³.

Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) is considered, among other measures, to improve the situation. To evaluate the possibility for increased water supply security, a probabilistic and dynamic water supply security model was developed. Statistically generated time series of source water availability are used in combination with the dynamic storages in dams and aquifers, and the possible supply is compared with the demand to simulate the magnitude and probability of water supply shortages. The model simulates the system and possible mitigation measures from 2013 to 2035 (23 years), using one-month time steps. The original system is not able to meet the demand, and the estimated volumetric supply reliability in the year 2035 is 0.51. An additional surface water dam (now implemented) will increase the reliability to 0.88 but there will still be a significant water shortage problem.
