    Construction géohistorique du KwaZulu-Natal (Afrique du Sud). Par Fabrice Folio. Le 1 septembre 2007 Le KwaZulu-Natal est communément perçu en Afrique du Sud (Harrison, 1995) comme une province dotée d’une forte identité zouloue et à degré moindre indienne1. Au 19ème siècle, elle fut par ailleurs une colonie anglaise distincte des républiques boers (d’origine hollandaise) établies sur les hautes terres centrales2. Or la réalité historique donne à voir, sur le terrain, une situation plus complexe. Ainsi, les Boers, boutés hors de cette contrée, n’ont-ils pas fini, à force d’acharnement, par lui concéder quelques traits identitaires ? Les Métis, qui composent la portion congrue des statistiques locales, sont-ils réellement insignifiants dans son histoire mouvementée ? Les Zoulous, sous l’influence de Shaka, sont-ils parvenus, au faîte de leur impérialisme, à phagocyter l’ensemble des tribus bantoues alentours ? En somme, le KwaZulu-Natal affiche-t-il stricto sensu les traits identitaires qu’on lui prête ? Une analyse diachronique de cet espace administratif (figure 1) met en relief la présence de plusieurs acteurs importants moins connus dans l’histoire officielle. Or ces derniers, après s’être âprement disputés l’espace, demeurent bel et bien présents dans celui contemporain. De plus, elle donne à voir, sur un pas de temps long, les facteurs directs et indirects qui ont induit son tracé actuel. Nous tenterons ici d’effectuer un découpage du KwaZulu-Natal sur des bases géohistoriques, nous plaçant pour ce faire sous le patronage de F. Braudel, d’Y. Lacoste et des courants systémiques menés par des géographes stimulants tels que C.

  • Kammer a 2006
    University of Pretoria etd – Kammer A 2006 Department of Geography, Geoinformatics and Meteorology University of Pretoria Using Geographical Information Systems to investigate the Bushmeat Phenomenon in KwaZulu-Natal 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Definition For the purpose of this study, bushmeat can be viewed as all undomesticated animal products utilised for human consumption and use. This includes meat as well as other products such as ivory, skin, hooves and horns. The term encompasses products from terrestrial as well as aquatic species such as abalone. In the past numerous studies regarding the bushmeat phenomenon in central, western and eastern Africa have been conducted (Bailey & Groff, 2003; Summers, 2003; Barnett, 2000). Up to date, no known published studies have been concluded in the southern part of Africa. A priority exists for wildlife and nature organisations in South Africa to build an inventory on the existing situation regarding bushmeat in South and southern Africa. With the help of the Bushmeat Crisis Task Force (BCTF), based in the United States of America, an Information Management and Analysis Project (Bushmeat IMAP) is currently in its infant stages (http://www.bushmeat.org/IMAP/). The Bushmeat IMAP aims to improve information sharing and decision making related to addressing the bushmeat phenomenon by organizing published documents, unpublished reports, project descriptions, and newly gathered data from the field into a system of databases and GIS (Geographical Information System) resources, useful for prioritising conservation and development solutions. The Bushmeat IMAP survey instrument is designed to identify and assess areas across Sub- Saharan Africa with high numbers of threatened, endangered, or endemic species presently being subjected to unsustainable bushmeat hunting, in addition to identifying and assessing bushmeat markets.

  • South Africa Eastern II 18Th January to 1St February 2018 (15 Days) Trip Report
    South Africa Eastern II 18th January to 1st February 2018 (15 days) Trip Report Drakensberg Rockjumper by Daniel Keith Danckwerts Tour Leaders: Daniel Keith Danckwerts and Rynart Bezuidenhout Trip report compiled by Daniel Keith Danckwerts Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to South Africa Trip Report – RBT South Africa - Eastern II 2019 2 Tour Summary Our two-week journey around eastern South Africa began in the bustling city of Johannesburg where, following a quick meet and greet, we enjoyed some birding in the gardens of our comfortable guesthouse. The highlight here was seeing small numbers of the endearing Red-headed Finch – a striking species that all desired to see. Other species on this, our first afternoon, included the Red-eyed and Laughing Doves, Speckled Pigeon, Red-faced and Speckled Mousebirds, the near-endemic Karoo Thrush, and dazzling Southern Red Bishops with males in full breeding plumage. After a scrumptious dinner, we returned to our rooms for an early evening, seeing the nocturnal Spotted Thick-knee en route. Early the following morning, we left Johannesburg and travelled north towards the remote Zaagkuildrift Road. This gravel road traverses a large area of thornveld and savannah, and is widely recognised as one of Red-collared Widowbird by Daniel Keith Danckwerts South Africa’s top birding destinations. We weren’t disappointed! Our list grew exponentially within minutes of arriving, as we notched up migratory Lesser Grey and Red-backed Shrikes, the striking long- tailed Magpie-Shrike, Black-winged Kite, and numerous displaying yet nondescript Zitting Cisticolas. Our breakfast stop delivered several other new species for the tour, including Western Cattle Egret, Red- billed Teal, Spur-winged Goose, Blacksmith Lapwing, Southern Boubou, White-throated Robin-Chat, Jameson’s Firefinch, Brown-hooded Kingfisher, and Burchell’s Starling.

National Geographic Gondwana was an ancient supercontinent that broke up about 180 million years ago. The continent eventually split into landmasses we recognize today: Africa, South America, Australia, Antarctica, the Indian subcontinent and the Arabian Peninsula.

  • South Africa Travel Guide 2017
    South Africa Travel Guide 2017 1 From the Editor... After a few failed attempts at collecting travel information about South Africa, I decided it would be a great idea to publish my own South Africa Travel Guide. It has taken me about 3 years to assemble this valuable publication (in between extra hours in the CLO Office and publishing JJ’s and Classifieds, and more Classi- fieds, and more JJ’s). Realistically, I thought I would lose my mind if I heard, “I will send over travel brochures ‘just now’” one more time... It has been a lot of work, but being in the CLO Office is the reason that I started this venture in the first place. My favorite part of working in the CLO Office is helping people who are searching for travel information. There is no greater reward as the Editor of the Jacaranda Journal, than to hear that one of my readers has booked a vacation or some sort of adventure because of a travel story or advice from our office. Travelling means taking a break from everyday routines and just enjoying life. I personally believe that there is so much benefit to travel, which is why I am hoping this Guide entices you to travel more. Travel gives us better perspective, it makes us more adaptable and adventurous, and it just makes people happy. We are in a unique position, living life in the Foreign Service, and one of the greatest benefits is seeing the world. We get the opportunity to see places we would never have dreamed of and even better, we get to share them sometimes with friends and family.
