Salome Modiselle RURAL HOUSEHOLD DIVERSITY IN THE LELIEFONTEIN DISTRICT OF THE NORTHERN CAPE PROVINCE OF SOUTH AFRICA BY DAMARAH SALOME MODISELLE Degree : M Inst Agrar Department : Agricultural Economics, Extension and Rural Development Supervisor ; Professor Johan van Rooyen (UP)I Co-Supervisor 1 : Dr Catherine Laurent (INRA)2 Co-Supervisor 2 : Mr Moraka Makhura (UP)3 ABSTRACT This study is undertaken in one of the historically "coloured reserves" of the Northern Cape Province called Leliefontein. The study is a response to the request by the Department of Agriculture, Northern Cape to improve their extension service. The study shows that there is a major dilemma for planners, extension officers or any development initiator to introduce development plans to the disadvantaged farming community. The lack of knowledge and an understanding of the large diversity amongst rural farming households is a possible root cause of this dilemma. The study addressed this particular Issue. The study hypothesis is: the behaviour of the rural farming households in Leliefontein area is diverse and is reflected by the way the households view agriculture and practice the farming activities they are involved in. The overall objective of the study is to compile an understanding about the diversity in farming households.

MANNING** Keywords: Ferraria Burm . ex Mill ., floral biology, Iridaceae, new species, taxonomy, tropical Africa, winter rainfall southern Africa ABSTRACT Following field and herbarium investigation of the subequatorial African and mainly western southern African Ferraria Burm . ex Mill . (Iridaceae: Iridoideae), a genus of cormous geophytes, we recognize 18 species, eight more than were included in the 1979 account of the genus by M .P . de Vos . One of these, F. ovata, based on Moraea ovata Thunb . (1800), was only discovered to be a species of Ferraria in 2001, and three more are the result of our different view of De Vos’s taxonomy . In tropical Africa, F. glutinosa is recircumscribed to include only mid- to late summer-flowering plants, usually with a single basal leaf and with purple to brown flowers often marked with yellow . A second summer-flowering species,F. candelabrum, includes taller plants with several basal leaves . Spring and early summer-flowering plants lacking foliage leaves and with yellow flowers from central Africa are referred toF. spithamea or F. welwitschii respectively . The remaining species are restricted to western southern Africa, an area of winter rainfall and summer drought . We rec- ognize three new species: F. flavaand F. ornata from the sandveld of coastal Namaqualand, and F. parva, which has among the smallest flowers in the genus and is restricted to the Western Cape coastal plain between Ganzekraal and Langrietvlei near Hopefield . Ferraria ornata blooms in May and June in response to the first rains of the season .

Three separately evolving lineages, well defined by morphology and allozyme var­ iation, are identified. The isolated southern population, occurring on the southern escarpment and Cape Fold Mountains surrounding the western Litlle Karoo, is named P. kladaroderrna sp. nov., and is characterized by a slit-like ear opening, low number of granules bordering the mental (3--6) and mental and adjacent infralabials (5- 13), the frequent (79%) occurence of the supralabial entering the nostril, and its drab brown base colouration. A northern population, occurring in southern Namibia and the Richtersveld is named P. haackei sp. nov" and is characterized by its more rounded or squared ear opening; high number of granules bordering the mental and adjacent infralabials (11-19), the general exclusion of the supralabial from the nostril (only 3.7% entry), and brighter, lighter colouration. It is further differentiated from P. kladaroderrna on the basis of fixed differences at 11 allozyme loci. Both new species differ from P.

Simons Msc Thesis, Department of Biodiversity and Conservation Biology, University of the Western Cape Heavy grazing of rangelands in the succulent karoo has placed the biodiversity of these areas at risk. In Paulshoek, overgrazing has resulted in the removal of much of the palatable vegetation from low lying areas. The remaining vegetation is dominated by Galenia africana, an unpalatable shrub. Loss of favourable microsites, competition from Galenia africana, as well as loss of seed banks, may be the cause of poor seedling establishment of palatable species. I explored how high grazing pressure has changed this system by comparing with surrounding private farms, which have a his tory of less concentrated grazing pressure. I found that heavy grazing increased the seed bank of Galenia africana in the soil and reduced that of palatable perennials . Vegetation cover was significantly lower (p<0.0001) under heavy grazing and consisted mainly of Galenia africana and few palatable perennials.

  • Climate Variability, Climate Change and Water Resource Strategies for Small Municipalities
    Climate variability, climate change and water resource strategies for small municipalities Water resource management strategies in response to climate change in South Africa, drawing on the analysis of coping strategies adopted by vulnerable communities in the Northern Cape province of South Africa in times of climate variability REPORT TO THE WATER RESEARCH COMMISSION P Mukheibir D Sparks University of Cape Town WRC Project: K5/1500 September 2005 Climate variability, climate change and water resource strategies for small municipalities i Executive summary Background and motivation In many parts of the world, variability in climatic conditions is already resulting in wide ranging impacts, especially on water resources and agriculture. Climate variability is already being observed to be increasing, although there remain uncertainties about the link to climate change. However, the link to water management problems is obvious. Water is a limiting resource for development in South Africa and a change in water supply could have major implications in most sectors of the economy, especially in the agriculture sector. Factors that contribute to vulnerability in water systems in southern Africa include seasonal and inter-annual variations in rainfall, which are amplified by high run-off production and evaporation rates. Current modelling scenarios suggest that there will be significant climate change 1 impacts in South Africa (Hewitson et al. 2005 ). Climate change is expected to alter the present hydrological resources in southern Africa and add pressure on the adaptability of future water resources (Schulze & Perks 2000) . During the past 20 years, most of Africa has experienced extensive droughts, the last three being 1986-88, 1991-92 and 1997-98 (after Chenje & Johnson 1996).

    Assessment and Evaluation of Ecosystem Services in the Succulent Karoo Biome Prepared by the South African National Biodiversity Institute, with the support of the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Programme, for the Succulent Karoo Ecosystem Programme June 2009 ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION OF ECOSYSTEM SERVICES IN THE SUCCULENT KAROO BIOME Report prepared for the Succulent Karoo Ecosystem Programme (SKEP) Coordination Unit Prepared by: the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). Authors: David Le Maitre, Patrick O’Farrell, Sue Milton, Doreen Atkinson, Willem De Lange, Benis Egoh, Belinda Reyers, Christine Colvin, Ashton Maherry and James Blignaut (2009) Assessment and evaluation of ecosystem services in the Succulent Karoo biome Executive summary What are ecosystem services? Within our landscapes there are innumerable interactions between species, their environment, and one another, going on at any one time. Some of these interactions are especially useful to people, supporting life and livelihoods in a variety of ways. These include the provision of oxygen to breathe and clean water to drink, fertile soils for our crops, the pollination of fruit and vegetables that we eat and even the provision of aesthetic beauty. The benefits we get from our ecosystems we collectively call ecosystem services. How we use and manage our landscapes influences the quality and the quantity of the ecosystem services that they in turn provide to us. Focus on the Succulent Karoo The focus of this study was on assessing the benefits of ecosystem services provided by the Succulent Karoo biome to the inhabitants of the region and elsewhere. The Succulent Karoo, situated in western South Africa, is a semi-arid area that has been globally recognised as extremely conservation worthy given the exceptional diversity of plants, reptiles, insects, birds and mammals – which make it the most diverse arid area in the world.
