  • Two Revolutions Behind: Is the Ethiopian Orthodox Church an Obstacle Or Catalyst for Social Development?’1
    Scriptura 81 (2002), pp. 378-390 ‘TWO REVOLUTIONS BEHIND: IS THE ETHIOPIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH AN OBSTACLE OR CATALYST FOR SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT?’1 JA Loubser University of Zululand Abstract As part of a project to investigate the spiritual and moral roots for an African Renaissance the paper employs an inter-disciplinary approach, investigating the intersection between religion and social development. This is done with reference to developmental issues as they become manifest in Ethiopia. An analysis of the social role of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church is accompanied by a critical review of some theories and strategies for social development. Since Ethiopia is one of the major beneficiaries of US and international aid the paper also considers options for sustainable social development. 1. Introduction This paper is the direct result of a confrontation with the poverty and desperation experienced during a field trip to Ethiopia.2 While investigating the Ethiopian Orthodox tradition as part of a university project on the moral and spiritual roots for an African Renaissance, we did not expect such wide-scale poverty and human need in a country that is noteworthy for its contribution to global culture. Of the 80% population of the planet marginalized by the global economy, the people of Ethiopia count among those who are the worst off.3 The plight of its circa 60 million people with more than 80 different ethnic groups is highlighted by the following: 440 000 new cases of HIV infection (with the virulent heterosexual C-strain) were estimated for 1999;4 vast sections of the predominantly rural population are without access to basic medical care; seasonal famine regularly affects large sections of the population (4 million Ethio- pians are dependent on foreign aid for food);5 half of the children under five are estimated to be malnourished.6 outside the major towns and cities the transport infrastructure is in serious disrepair.

  • African Newspapers: the British Library Collection from Culture to History to Geopolitics
    African Newspapers: The British Library Collection From culture to history to geopolitics Quick Facts A unique database of 19th-century African newspapers offering all-new coverage Created in partnership with the British Library and its world-renowned curators An invaluable historical record for students and scholars in dozens of academic disciplines Overview African Newspapers: The British Library Collection features 64 newspapers from across the African continent, all published before 1900. Originally archived by the British Library—the national library of the United Kingdom and one of the largest and most respected libraries in the world—these rare historical documents are now available for the first time in a fully searchable online collection. From culture to history to geopolitics, the pages of these newspapers offer fresh research opportunities for students and scholars interested in topics related to Africa. An unmatched chronicle of African history Because Africa produced comparatively few newspapers in the 19th century, each page in this collection is significant, offering invaluable insight into the people, issues and events that shaped the continent. Through eyewitness reporting, editorials, letters, advertisements. obituaries and military reports, the newspapers in this one-of-a-kind collection chronicle African history and daily life as never before. Students and researchers will find news and analysis covering the European exploration of Africa, colonial exploitation, economics, Atlantic trade, the mapping of the continent, early moves towards self-governance, the growth of South Africa and much more. Created in partnership with the British Library The British Library’s incomparable collection of African newspapers is the result of the close and often controversial relationships between Great Britain and African nations during the period of colonial rule.

  • Conflict Prevention in the Greater Horn of Africa
    UNITED STATES INSTITUTE OF PEACE Simulation on Conflict Prevention in the Greater Horn of Africa This simulation, while focused around the Ethiopia-Eritrea border conflict, is not an attempt to resolve that conflict: the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) already has a peace plan on the table to which the two parties in conflict have essentially agreed. Rather, participants are asked, in their roles as representatives of OAU member states, to devise a blueprint for preventing the Ethiopian-Eritrean conflict from spreading into neighboring countries and consuming the region in even greater violence. The conflict, a great concern particularly for Somalia and Sudan where civil wars have raged for years, has thrown regional alliances into confusion and is increasingly putting pressure on humanitarian NGOs and other regional parties to contain the conflict. The wars in the Horn of Africa have caused untold death and misery over the past few decades. Simulation participants are asked as well to deal with the many refugees and internally displaced persons in the Horn of Africa, a humanitarian crisis that strains the economies – and the political relations - of the countries in the region. In their roles as OAU representatives, participants in this intricate simulation witness first-hand the tremendous challenge of trying to obtain consensus among multiple actors with often competing agendas on the tools of conflict prevention.

  • COVID-19 Laboratory Testing Sites
    Care | Dignity | Participation | Truth | Compassion COVID-19 Laboratory testing sites Risk assessment, screening and laboratory testing for COVID-19 The information below should give invididuals a clear understanding of the process for risk assessment, screening and laboratory testing of patients, visitors, staff, doctors and other healthcare providers at Netcare facilities: • Risk assessment, screening and laboratory testing of ill individuals Persons who are ill are allowed access to the Netcare facility via the emergency department for risk assessment and screening. Thereafter the person will be clinically assessed by a doctor and laboratory testing for COVID-19 will subsequently be done if indicated. • Laboratory testing of persons sent by external doctors for COVID-19 laboratory testing at a Netcare Group facility Individuals who have been sent to a Netcare Group facility for COVID-19 laboratory testing by a doctor who is not practising at the Netcare Group facility will not be allowed access to the laboratories inside the Netcare facility, unless the person requires medical assistance. This brochure which contains a list of Ampath, Lancet and Pathcare laboratories will be made available to individuals not needing medical assistance, to guide them as to where they can have the testing done. In the case of the person needing medical assistance, they will be directed to the emergency department. No person with COVID-19 risk will be allowed into a Netcare facility for laboratory testing without having consulted a doctor first. • Risk assessment and screening of all persons wanting to enter a Netcare Group facility Visitors, staff, external service providers, doctors and other healthcare providers are being risk assessed at established points outside of Netcare Group hospitals, primary care centres and mental health facilities, prior to them entering the facility.

  • Colin Noel, MD Universitas Academic Hospital Bloemfontein, South Africa
    Colin Noel, MD Universitas Academic Hospital Bloemfontein, South Africa In the stunning surroundings of Stellenbosch, on the 17th of January 2020, Spier would once again host the 11th Annual Gastro Foundation Fellows weekend. The much anticipated weekend far exceeded the expectations of every Fellow who attended. One thing about the Cape and Stellenbosch region is that when it wants to show off its beauty, it is almost impossible to top. The Gastroenterology Foundation of South Africa could not have got it better in any way, and it was an incredible privilege to attend the weekend. The weekend started with fellows in gastroenterology making their way down to Cape Town International Airport, not only from all over South Africa but also from our neighbouring northern countries. The logistics around fight cancellations and last minute rescheduling (largely due to the crisis at our national carrier airline) were all met with smiles and a level of organisation that can only come from a very dedicated team. On landing, we were promptly met by our transport shuttle and taken off to the beautiful Spier Hotel and Conference Centre. After a quick cup of coffee and breakfast snacks we gathered in the conference centre and were welcomed by a passionate Prof. Chris Kassianides, the chairman and founding member of the Gastroenterology Foundation of Sub-Saharan Africa. It was clear from the outset how passionate his team is and how privileged we were to be there. The introduction of the academic speakers, guest speakers and the program as a whole vividly reaffirmed this notion. The morning talks covered a number of broad topics relevant to all disciplines of gastroenterology.

  • The Classification of the Vegetation of Korannaberg Eastern Orange Free
    S.Afr.J.Bot., 1992, 58(3): 165 - 172 165 The classification of the vegetation of Korannaberg, eastern Orange Free State, South Africa. I. Afromontane fynbos communities P.J. du Preez National Museum, P.O. Box 266, Bloemfontein, 9300 Republic of South Africa Present address: Nature and Environmental Conservation Directorate, O.F.S. Provincial Administration, P.O. Box 517, Bloemfontein, 9300 Republic of South Africa Received 24 May 1991; accepted 16 March 1992 The Afromontane fynbos communities of Korannaberg were classified using TWINSPAN numerical analysis and refined by the Braun-Blanquet technique. The Passerina montana - Cymbopogon dieterlenii fynbos was divided into two communities, of which one was divided into two sub-communities. Descriptions of the plant communities include diagnostic species and the habitat features such as geology, altitude, aspect, slope and soil factors such as soil type, depth and rockiness of the soil surface. Die Afromontaanse fynbosgemeenskappe van Korannaberg is geklassifiseer deur middel van die TWINSPAN numeriese analise en verfyn met die Braun-Blanquet tegniek. Die Passerina montana - Cymbopogon dieter­ lenii fynbos is in twee gemeenskappe verdeel, waarvan een in twee subgemeenskappe verdeel is. Die gemeenskapsbeskrywings behels differensierende spesies en die habitateienskappe soos geologie, hoogte bo seevlak, aspek, helling en grondeienskappe soos grondsoort, diepte en klipperigheid van die grond­ oppervlak. Keywords: Afromontane fynbos communities, Braun-Blanquet techniques, eastern Orange Free State, vegetation-site relations. Introduction which the landowners have pooled some of their resources The term fynbos has been used widely in botanical for the purpose of conserving the wildlife on their combined literature. There is general consensus among botanists that properties (Earle & Basson 1990).
