R. J Anim Sci Adv 2014, 4(6): 883-890 DOI: 10.5455/jasa.20140526093512 Online version is available on: www.grjournals.com ISSN: 2251-7219 SETLALEKGOMO M. R. Original Article Ethnozoological Survey of the Indigenous Knowledge on the Use of Pangolins (Manis Sps) in Traditional Medicine in Lentsweletau Extended Area in Botswana Setlalekgomo M. R. *Botswana College of Agriculture, Private Bag 0027, Gaborone, Botswana. Abstract Animals have played an important role in human life from prehistory. Many animals are used in zootherapy worldwide. However, the zootherapeutic practices by some communities are not well documented and may be forgotten. An ethnozoological study to document indigenous knowledge on the utilisation of pangolins in traditional medicine in Lentsweletau area in Botswana was carried out. A formal questionnaire was administered to 37 informants. The informants were 70.27% males and 29.73% females. The 10.81% of the informants were traditional doctors. Only 67.57% of the informants knew pangolins. The study revealed that most of the informants currently under the age of forty years did not know pangolins. However, the community had several pangolin myths. Pangolins were used mainly in traditional medicine (79.41%) and rarely as bush meat (20.59%) in the past. The study showed that different body parts of pangolins were used as charms and in the treatment of various human ailments like cracked heels, epistaxis, hypertension and psoriasis. The commonly used parts in the treatment of human ailments were blood and scales. -

2011 Population & Housing Census Preliminary Results Brief
2011 Population & Housing Census Preliminary Results Brief For further details contact Census Office, Private Bag 0024 Gaborone: Tel 3188500; Fax 3188610 1. Botswana Population at 2 Million Botswana’s population has reached the 2 million mark. Preliminary results show that there were 2 038 228 persons enumerated in Botswana during the 2011 Population and Housing Census, compared with 1 680 863 enumerated in 2001. Suffice to note that this is the de-facto population – persons enumerated where they were found during enumeration. 2. General Comments on the Results 2.1 Population Growth The annual population growth rate 1 between 2001 and 2011 is 1.9 percent. This gives further evidence to the effect that Botswana’s population continues to increase at diminishing growth rates. Suffice to note that inter-census annual population growth rates for decennial censuses held from 1971 to 2001 were 4.6, 3.5 and 2.4 percent respectively. A close analysis of the results shows that it has taken 28 years for Botswana’s population to increase by one million. At the current rate and furthermore, with the current conditions 2 prevailing, it would take 23 years for the population to increase by another million - to reach 3 million. Marked differences are visible in district population annual growths, with estimated zero 3 growth for Selebi-Phikwe and Lobatse and a rate of over 4 percent per annum for South East District. Most district growth rates hover around 2 percent per annum. High growth rates in Kweneng and South East Districts have been observed, due largely to very high growth rates of villages within the proximity of Gaborone. -

The focus has shifted towards a more open-ended perspective where the local context and poverty alleviation are in focus. As a result, the new key concepts in the discourse are livelihoods and urban-rural linkages. The academic interest is focused on the question: how are African households surviving given their increasing difficult economic circumstances? In the African context, Botswana is a special case. -

Due to budgetary constraints and relative internal political stability, Botswana had relied on a small paramilitary force called the Police Mobile Unit (PMU) since the early 1960s for all defence – related issues. By the late 1970s, the sharp escalation of the struggle for Zimbabwe resulted in cross – border incursions by Rhodesian security forces who were pursuing armed freedom fighters. -
