LTD. P.O. Box 64 Mafeking PRINTERS OF THIS NEWSPAPER PAGE TWO THERISANYO - CONSULTATION JULY. 1967. CAPITAL CONTINUATION CLASSES T HE Gaberones Community has, under the leadership of the Senior Educaeion Officer, Mr. S. H. Modisi, opened a night ,school under the name "Capital Continuation Classes" for Junior Certificate beginning with a Form I class this year. This project is an experiment and for this reason only 30 pupils have been drawn from all parts of Botswana as long as they were able to find accommodation with their relatives or friends in Gaberones. In response to the advertisement through Daily News and Radio Botswana 40 pupils applied. Their ages varied from 15 years to 27 years and all, except the two who passed standard VI in 1955 and 1957, passed standard VII between 1964 and 1966. Qualifications for admission were chiefly age and the year of passing standard VII and the class of passing was not considered a deciding factor. TUTORS An appeal to the public for people to volunteer to come to the rescue of the wasted future leaders turned out most encouraging results. From the offers and self-sacrifices, it is apparent that there are many people to whom the progress of Botswana is a great concern. The 26 people who have offered to sacrifice some hours of their evening work or rest from their ever increasing day's work are representative of Ministers, Civil Servants from all ministries and also volunteers. The ministers - the Vice President, Mr. Q. K. J. Masire and the Minister of Education, Health and Labour, Mr. B. C. Thema are among the tutors. Of these 26 tutors, 21 are qualified * teachers. What a blessing! We hope the students will take the tide at the flood. OFFICIAL OPENING At its inauguration on July, in a Geography classroom in the Gaberones Secondary School, the project had the blessing of the Minister of Education, Health and Labour, Mr. B. C. Thema. After being introduced by Mr. S. H. Modisi, the Minister said he was pleased to meet the tutors and students He emphasised to the students that they had had the opportunity that many had missed and would be wise to avail themselves of the services of their tutors. He said that although they were presently thinking of their personal advancement, they would be an asset to this coun- try if they made a success of their studies. He encouraged them, citing himself as an example, by saying that many people had achieved higher education through private studies, for though they would be taught for a few hours each school day, their task was almost equal to that of people studying privately and the bulk of the work fell on their shoulders. They would have to do a lot of studying by themselves. The Minister wound up his speech by outlining a few projects that Government had started or was contemplating on with a view to try and meet the pressing demand for supplying the skilled labour required in Botswana. He concluded that it was the aim of his ministry to persuade other big centres of Botswana with similar facilities to start night classes to combat the loss of potential leaders which otherwise occurs through numbers of scholars who pass standard VII but fail to get accommodatoin in secondary schools. BEHAVIOUR Mr. Modisi called the attention of the students to the fact that the normal conduct as was practised in schools would be expected of them. They would have to refrain from influences by their equals employed for various works who were free for "nice times" and other practices and "make ups" like the use of lip sticks. No student would be allowed into the class if he or she came to school shabbily dressed or with unwashed clothes. Because of the limited time available, regularity and punctuality to classes were a must. BEGINNING OF CLASSES Classes began on Monday, July 3 wlien 28 students turned up. The three teachers who did what may be regarded as preliminary work were satisfied with the response given in English, Mathematics and Geography. The students themselves looked active, interested and they wore brighRt faces and although all but six of theim obtained a third grade pass in standard VII, there is hope, all factors being equal, of their gaining from the course.

  • 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.

Monageng Mogalakwe Department of Sociology, University of Botswana email: [email protected] An African Miracle: State and Class Leadership and Colonial Legacy In Botswana Development, by Abdi Ismail Samatar, Heinemann, 1999, pp.217, ISBN: 0-325- 00068-9 About a decade ago, the left leaning Review of African Political Economy (ROAPE) published an article by Hoogvelt et al (1992) entitled: 'The World Bank and Africa: A Case of Mistaken Identity'. The article criticised the World Bank's simplistic tendency to lump together African countries as if Africa is one entity. In their critique of the World Bank's simplistic methodology, the authors cite several statements from the bank's reports that posit, inter alia, that Africa is facing deepening crisis because of weak economic growth, low levels of manufacturing, poor export performance, declining industrial output, climbing debt, fal1ing per capita incomes, low levels of investments and savings, weak institutional capacity and deteriorating social indicators, al1 compounded by accelerating population growth. Whilst the World Bank argues that these key variables provide for a commonality that requires a common strategy, Hoogvelt et al used a range of statistical techniques of cluster and discriminant analysis through which they found not ONE, but FOUR distinct types of countries in Africa.

    Ministry of Health Republic of Botswana World Health Organization Botswana STEPS survey Chronic Disease Risk Factor Surveillance 2007 Figure 1 Map of Botswana Ministry of Health, DPH, Disease Control Division - Private Bag 00269, Fax 267 3910327, Tel 2673622500 Page 2 Botswana STEPS survey Chronic Disease Risk Factor Surveillance 2007 ABSTRACT Botswana as a developing country is experiencing the emergence of non-communicable diseases which will impact on its development. If risk factors leading to chronic diseases are not identified and sustainable measures are not put in place it can have far reaching consequences. Therefore there is a need to establish baseline data on risk factors, develop guidelines, lay strategic plans and appropriate public health measures in the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases. This necessitated embarking the STEPS survey of chronic diseases risk factors. Using the WHO STEPwise approach to surveillance, Botswana carried out STEP 1, which deals with demographic and behavioural aspects, and STEP 2, which deals with physical measurement of height, weight, waist and hip; blood pressure, and pulse rate. The survey was conducted from March to May 2007 in collaboration with the Ministry of Local Government in 8 selected districts. The Botswana STEPS survey was a population based survey of adults aged 25-64. A multi-stage cluster sample design was used to arrive at a representative sample for the whole population. The response rate was very high and a total of 4003 people participated in the survey. The major risk factors associated with non-communicable diseases that we included in the survey were tobacco, alcohol, eating fruits and vegetables, physical activity, blood pressure and BMI.

To facilitate the success of this theme, the Kweneng East DMSAC recently completed its Evidence Based Planning (EBP) process for financial year 2013‐2014. This process involved forming a Planning Group consisting of DMSAC/TAC members, AIDS service organizations representatives, PLWHAs, and traditional leaders in the district. The planning process began by researching and writing an HIV/AIDS profile for the district, the District Profile, and updating the HIV/AIDS Community Services Inventory (CSI). The Planning Group held a one week EBP Training Workshop where collectively they reviewed the District Profile and establish a prioritized list of key issues as follows: 1) Low HIV Testing 2) Low SMC Uptake 3) Low Screening of HIV+ Clients for TB 4) High STI Incidence 5) High Teenage Pregnancy For each issue the Planning Group drafted SMART objectives to guide the creation of strategies to address these issues, which are listed in priority order under each objective.
