  • The Scramble for Land Between the Barokologadi Community and Hermannsburg Missionaries
    The Scramble for Land between the Barokologadi Community and Hermannsburg Missionaries Victor MS Molobi https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7824-1048 University of South Africa [email protected] Abstract This article investigates the land claim of the Barokologadi of Melorane, with their long history of disadvantages in the land of their forefathers. The sources of such disadvantages are traceable way back to tribal wars (known as “difaqane”) in South Africa. At first, people were forced to retreat temporarily to a safer site when the wars were in progress. On their return, the Hermannsburg missionaries came to serve in Melorane, benefiting from the land provided by the Kgosi. Later the government of the time expropriated that land. What was the significance of this land? The experience of Melorane was not necessarily unique; it was actually a common practice aimed at acquiring land from rural communities. This article is an attempt to present the facts of that event. There were, however, later interruptions, such as when the Hermannsburg Mission Church became part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Southern Africa (ELCSA). Keywords: land claim; church land; Barokologadi; missionary movement; Hermannsburg; Melorane; Lutheran Introduction Melorane is the area that includes the southern part of Madikwe Game Park in the North West Province, with the village situated inside the park. The community of Melorane is known as the Barokologadi of Maotwe, which was forcibly removed in 1950. Morokologadi is a porcupine, which is a totem of the Barokologadi community. The community received their land back on 6 July 2007 through the National Department of Land Affairs.

INTER­ WELLFIELD ·i i,.. CO'ISULT in association with BRITISH GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Keyworth, Nottingham, UK MATSHENG AREA GROUNDWATER INVESTIGATION Technical Report T9 August 1995 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Usable potable water supplies are limited to the Matsheng village areas. Economic fresh water supplies identified during recent groundwater investigations are located in village areas of Lokgwabe and Lehututu. Brackish water supplies identified outside the village areas are not available for use by livestock using communal grazing areas as they are either in areas already occupied or in areas with other land use designations. 2. No significant usable water supplies were identified in the communal grazing areas through the MAGI programme, and based on the available geophysical evidence, the chances of striking groundwater supplies for livestock in Matsheng communal areas are poor. 3. Total water consumption in the Matsheng area during the past year (to May 1995) is estimated at 254,200m' (697 m' per day). Of this amount about 150,000 m' (60%) are consumed by livestock watered at about 150 wells, boreholes and dams on pans. 4. Matsheng village households using public standpipes consume about 670 litres per household per week, or 20 litres per person per day (67% of the 30 litre DWA standard rate for rural village standpipe users). Residents of the four RAD settlements served by council bowsers received a ration of about 7 litres per person per day, or just 23% of the DWA standard.

Abstract Camels were introduced to Botswana in the early twentieth century as a means of transport for the Botswana Police Service in the Kgalagadi District. This service was discontinued in the early 1980s and the camels were handed over to communities in the district for ecotourism activities. Since their introduction in Botswana, camels were regarded as government property and were never taken as alternative livelihood option that can alleviate poverty by providing milk and other products as is the case in other countries. This study explores the prospects of utilization of camel milk and milk products by assessing perceptions and attitudes of communities on the socio-economic importance of camels, consumption preferences for camel milk and value-added milk products. A combination of qualitative and quantitative methods was used to address the objectives of the research.

  • The Case of Central District Bukalanga Area 1890-1940

This item is from the digital archive maintained by Michigan State University Library. Find more at: http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/africanjournals/ Available through a partnership with Scroll down to read the article. Agricultural Production and Exchange: The Case of Central District Bukalanga area 1890-1940 by IS(lac Ndai Paulos The Central District Bukalanga area, constitutes, geographically, western Bukal~nl?a which became part of the Ngwato state, and later reserve. It is this area which IS In this paper referred to as Bukalanga, without prejudice to the rest of Bukalan~a•. Its incorporation into the Ngwato state started in 1895 with the London negotiatIOns between Chamberlain and Khama. This process was sealed in 1899 when the Protectorate international and Ngwato Reserve borders were proclaimed. I The incorporation of the Bukalanga area, however, seems to have been decided upon much earlier, despite the stiff competition for control of the area by Ngwato and Rhodesian authorities in the 1890s.Z The thrust of mercantile capitalism from the south, via the Ngwato state, had begun to shift, significantly, the focus an? direction of Kalanga economy. This tended, in the long-run, to increase Kalanga Inter~ctlOn with and allegiance to the Ngwato state.
