  • Women Crafters and Protected Areas in Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa AMY PANIKOWSKI
    Woven Livelihoods: Women Crafters and Protected Areas in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa AMY PANIKOWSKI From late April through June, I continued my fieldwork on the east coast of South Africa working with Zulu women and crafting materials. Every May, the iSimangaliso Wetland Park and Umlalazi Nature Reserve (every other May) allow women to harvest Juncus kraussii, a high quality reed mainly used for crafting bridal sleeping mats and traditional beer strainers. These items are valued in Zulu culture for their utilitarian properties as well as their cultural heritage. I interviewed individual crafters and crafting groups, most of which were women, about their harvesting and use of J. kraussii. Gaining insight into this economic oppor- tunity for a vulnerable population contrib- utes to the limited social research in and around these protected areas. In addition to on the financial, emotional, and physical ceremonies. My final stop was to interview this harvest, I also interviewed women who responsibilities of sustaining those in the women around Mbongolwane Wetland.

DESCRIPTION AND SIGNIFICANCE ASSESSMENT OF HERITAGE RESOURCES Virtually the entire proposed power line route is located within cultivated fields, dominated by sugar cane plantations. Places, buildings, structures and equipment Although we identified no buildings that constitute heritage resources within the proposed development area, we observed that the proposed power line immediately north of tower 10 traverses an occupied homestead. The servitude width for a 132 kV Sub-transmission line is 36m (18m on either side of the centre line of the power line) and no occupied residence is allowed within the servitude. Battlefields The proposed power line traverses the scenes of the Battles of Ndondakusuka and Gingindlovu, fought in 1856 and 1879, respectively.
