  • Working Paper CBMS-2020-09
    working paper CBMS-2020-09 Sustainable Development Goals, Botswana: A Case Study of Gabane Village in Kweneng District Happy Siphambe Malebogo Bakwena Lexi Setlhare Mavis Kolobe Itumeleng Oageng Keamogetse Setlhare Tshegofatso Motswagae May 2020 Sustainable Development Goals, Botswana: A Case Study of Gabane Village in Kweneng District Abstract The main objective of the research paper was to use the Community Based Monitoring System (CBMS) methodology to determine progress on achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with a view of localising SDGs to Gabane village. Generally, the results reveal that poverty is prevalent amongst women, youth and children. Specifically, the working poor constitute 40.8% of the people leaving below the poverty line. Noteworthy, is that 50% of children under 5 years of age have no access to pre-primary education. Gabane residents are reluctant to participate in poverty-targeted government programmes as evidenced by a low participation rate. Last but not least, the results show a higher unemployment rate of 23.3 %( ILO or narrow definition) and 29.44% (broad definition) in Gabane. The majority of the unemployed were youth and women. The policy implications of the results are that the government of Botswana should review the current minimum wage legislation to ensure that the minimum wage is aligned to the cost of living so as to ensure decent wages. Finally, in order to ensure that early childhood is rolled out for all under 5s, the government should expedite the implementation of the Education and Training Strategy Sector Plan (ETSSP) of 2015-2020. JEL: I32, I33, J88 Keywords: Poverty analysis, poverty, welfare and wellbeing.

  • Migrant Labour in the Bukalanga Area, 1934-1985: the Unfinished Story
    Historia, 63, 1, May 2018, pp 130-149 Skills acquisition and investments by Batswana migrants from southern Botswana to South Africa, 1970–2010 Wazha G. Morapedi* Abstract This paper focuses on migrant labour from southern Botswana to South Africa. The main thrust of this article is its emphasis on the positive contribution of migration to the migrants and their communities. It is argued here that although migrant labour has been blamed for having negative socio-economic effects in southern Botswana, just as in other parts of the country, it also contributed, and continues to contribute positively to the wellbeing of some households and their communities at large. Through the use of case studies from different villages in the district, the article demonstrates that poor, uneducated and unskilled young men who migrated to South Africa managed to accumulate and invest in agriculture and commercial enterprises and rose up the social ladder. In this area, migrant wages were critical in forming the basis of some enterprises, several of which are still flourishing. It also argues that some migrants acquired on-the-job skills which were later utilised productively when the migrants returned to Botswana. A similar study, but one which did not emphasise the acquisition of skills was undertaken by the author in the Bukalanga region of north-eastern Botswana in 2004. Key Words: Botswana; South Africa; migration; agriculture; labourers. Opsomming Hierdie artikel fokus op trekarbeid van suidelike Botswana na Suid-Afrika. Die artikel poog om die positiewe bydrae wat migrasie vir migrante en hul gemeenskappe inhou, te beklemtoon. Ten spyte daarvan dat trekarbeid vir verskeie negatiewe sosio- ekonomiese uitwerkings in Botswana blameer is, word hier geargumenteer dat trekarbeid positief bydrae tot die welstand van sekere huishoudings en gemeenskappe in die breë.

  • A Heritage and Cultural Tourism Destination
    MAKING GABORONE A STOP AND NOT A STOP-OVER: A HERITAGE AND CULTURAL TOURISM DESTINATION by Jane Thato Dewah (Student No: 12339556) A Dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MAGISTER HEREDITATIS CULTURAEQUE SCIENTIAE (HERITAGE AND CULTURAL STUDIES) (TOURISM) In the Department of Historical and Heritage Studies at the Faculty of Humanities University of Pretoria SUPERVISOR: Prof. K.L Harris December 2014 DECLARATION OF AUTHENTICITY I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original work and has not been submitted previously at any other university for a degree. ............................................... Signature Jane Thato Dewah ................................................ Date ii Abstract The main objective of the study was to identify cultural heritage sites in and around Gaborone which could serve as tourist attractions. Gaborone, the capital city of Botswana, has been neglected in terms of tourism, although it has all the facilities needed to cater for this market. Very little information with regards to tourist attractions around Gaborone is available and therefore this study set out to identify relevant sites and discussed their history, relevance and potential for tourism. It also considers ways in which these sites can be developed in order to attract tourists. Due to its exclusive concentration on wildlife and the wilderness, tourism in Botswana tends to benefit only a few. Moreover, it is mainly concentrated in the north western region of the country, leaving out other parts of the country in terms of the tourism industry. To achieve the main objective of the study, which is to identify sites around the capital city Gaborone and to evaluate if indeed the sites have got the potential to become tourist attractions, three models have been used.
