ROMA LESOTHO AFRICA (RESEARCH REPORTj I Henk Huismpn 1S83 X t > u i Preface For the research programme undertaken in the context of the Urban and Regional Planning Programme, established at the National University of Lesotho in 1978, emphasis has been put on the spatial organization of develooment efforts and activities in the rural areas of Lesotho. This focus on the rural parts of the country also includes an assess­ ment of the role of urban centres in providing both agricultural and non-agricultursl services to the rural populati on. The present report focusses on the only urban centre in the Mafeteng District, viz. Mafeteng town. Services provided from the centre to the district's population are analysed in relation to the town 1s internal production structure. The information for this report was collected in 1981 by means of a sample survey of households and a number of special studies in which attention was paid to specific aspects of the urban economy and the town's population which were considered crucial for the analysis of structure and function of the town. The report should be seen as the urban counterpart to the URPP research report on households, production and resources in Mafeteng District, which was published in 1987. These reports will be followed by a planning survey of Mafeteng District, which contains an analysis of the district economy.

All rights reserved. www.elsevier.com/locate/worlddev http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.worlddev.2017.05.020 The Livelihood Impacts of Cash Transfers in Sub-Saharan Africa: Beneficiary Perspectives from Six Countries ELEANOR FISHER a, RAMLATU ATTAH b, VALENTINA BARCA b, CLARE O’BRIEN b, SIMON BROOK b, JEREMY HOLLAND b, ANDREW KARDAN b, SARA PAVANELLO b and PAMELA POZARNY c,* a University of Reading, UK b Oxford Policy Management, UK c Food and Agricultural Organisation, Italy Summary. — Cash transfers (CTs) are a social protection mechanism to reduce the poorest households’ vulnerability to shocks and build human capital by smoothing consumption and sustaining expenditure on education and social welfare. Our study examines whether and how CTs go beyond welfare objectives to promote livelihoods. Presenting a cross-case analysis using original qualitative data on ben- eficiary perspectives from six African countries—Kenya, Ethiopia, Malawi, Lesotho, Zimbabwe and Ghana—we explore CT livelihood impacts within household economies and social networks, paying attention to gender issues. We find that a small but predictable flow of cash improves strategic livelihood choices and stimulates productive investments, including through positive effects on beneficiary entry into risk-sharing arrangements and networks for economic collaboration. Levels of household vulnerability and labor constraint never- theless significantly mediate the ability of CTs to consolidate livelihood outcomes. The varying availability of economic opportunities, plus effective program implementation, also shape livelihood impact. Incorporating beneficiary perspectives brings to the fore the multi- dimensionality of CT effects on experiences of poverty and deprivation, including gender dynamics and intangibles such as dignity and respect; they add powerful realism to the influence of the CT on both immediate survival and livelihood choices.

  • An Obscured Narrative in the Political Economy of Colonial Commerce in Lesotho, 1870–1966
    Historia 59, 2, November 2014, pp 28-45 An obscured narrative in the political economy of colonial commerce in Lesotho, 1870–1966 Sean Maliehe Introduction Literature on the history of Lesotho’s1 local business is still in its infancy. With the exception of two biographies of Frasers, a company owned by British immigrants,2 scholarly work in this area is subsumed under major political and social themes of the country’s history.3 Of importance among these, is a chapter by Motlatsi Thabane in a collected work, Essays on Aspects of the Political Economy of Lesotho, 1500–2000. In his chapter, Thabane historicises various aspects of colonial economy and society.4 Among these, he explores the history of colonial commerce. Adopting a critical political economy approach, he demonstrates how European traders monopolised commerce in Lesotho; and how in the process, they marginalised Basotho and Indian traders. In the colonial period, the business community consisted, hierarchically, of European (of British descent), Indian and Basotho traders.5 Commerce, namely, retailing and wholesaling, was the main business activity. Led by Frasers, European traders controlled colonial commerce in Lesotho.6 It was only at the beginning of the twentieth century that a number of Basotho acquired licences to open trading stores. This coincided with the arrival of Indian traders in Lesotho, mostly from South Africa.7 Furthermore, Thabane also constructs how Basotho contested their exclusion and their marginalisation in political and economic spheres. Currently, this work remains the only published scholarly work on colonial commerce in Lesotho. There is therefore much to be done by historians in this field.
