  • 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.

  • Geological Survey Department
    ( s MINISTRY OF COMMERCE, INDUSTRY AND WATER AFFAIRS ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY DEPARTMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 ST DECEMBER 1968 • I GENERAL (a) Introduction The Geological Survey Department in the Republic of Botswana is a "non-integrated" element of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Water Affairs. Its headquarters are at Lobatse in southeastern Botswana, 4-7 miles south of the Botswana Government administrative headquarters at Gaborone. The fundamental aim of the Geological Survey is the assessment of the mineral resources and underground water supply resources of Botswana with the intention of stimulating the realisation of their economic poten~al. A necessary preliminary to the attainment of these objectives is a study of the rocks and the geological structure over the whole of the country. Regional geological mapping and the publication of maps and reports describing the geology of Botswana is thus the main, prime function of the Geological Survey Department. Mineral survey work is carried out and this includes field geological and geophysical survey of mineral occurrences supplemented by laboratory work; prospecting for new mineral deposits; render­ ing assistance to prospecting organisations and operating mines; and wherever possible fur­ thering interest in Botswana's mineral potential. A third major task of the Geological Survey is the development of underground water supplies and general hydrogeological survey. In underground water development work the Geological Survey carries out the siting of water boreholes after geological and geophysical investigations and then controls drilling of the selected sites to the stage where productive boreholes can be passed to another Department within the Ministry, which is responsible for equipping boreholes and for the maintenance of Government pumping units.

In this stats brief, the reference point of the population projections was the 2011 Population and Housing Census, in which the total population by age and sex is available. Population projections give a picture of what the future size and structure of the population by sex and age might look like. It is based on knowledge of the past trends, and, for the future, on assumptions made for three components of population change being fertility, mortality and migration. The projections are derived from mathematical formulas that use current populations and rates of growth to estimate future populations. The population projections presented is for Cities, Towns and Villages excluding associated localities for the year 2020. Generally, population projections are more accurate for large populations than for small populations and are more accurate for the near future than the distant future.

  • The Land Question and Colonial Legacy in North-Eastern Botswana
    [Article] 129 The Land Question and Colonial Legacy in North-Eastern Botswana Boga Thura MANATSHA Graduate Student Graduate School for International Development and Cooperation Hiroshima University 1-5-1 Kagamiyama, Higashi-Hiroshima, 739-8529 Japan E-mail: [email protected] Keshav Lall MAHARJAN Professor Graduate School for International Development and Cooperation Hiroshima University 1-5-1 Kagamiyama, Higashi-Hiroshima, 739-8529 Japan E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The land question in north-eastern Botswana has been, over a century now, a controversial political issue in the country. The article argues that this region faces an inevitable land crisis; which can be politically volatile, if not addressed urgently, but cautiously. It also contends that the concessions signed by European concessionaires in the 1880s, which legitimized colonial land alienation and expropriation, were, and stilI are, 'dubious' if not, 'fraudulent'. Proclamation No.2 of 1911, issued by the British colonial administration, still constraints the implementation of a sound land reform. Villagers and opposition politicians regard the government's approach to the land question as lukewarm, and its treatment of Tati Company and absentee landlords, in particular, tenderly. A neo-liberal approach to the land question is, however, pervasive in southern Africa. The article concludes that a radical land reform in North East, which takes into cognizance, historical injustices, and aims at correcting them, is a must and overdue. 1. Introduction Even in the twenty-first century, the land question remains, like in the past century, a serious threat to the democratization process and political stability of southern Africa, in particular, and sub-Saharan Africa, in general (Lahiff, 2005; Lee and Colvard, 2003; Moyo, 2004a).
