Citizens will be traveling to different voting stations and volumes of traffic will be high on the road, requiring visibility of law enforcement agencies, and further requiring cooperation on all road users. “Our call for action to all citizens of the Province is for them to go to their respective voting stations as early as possible on election day to avoid long queues and over-crowding. We also urge our people to be tolerant of others whose political affiliation may differ from theirs, urged the North West MEC for Com- munity Safety and Transport Management, Dr Mpho Motlhabane. Welcoming the Election Operational Plan from the Provincial South African Police Service Commissioner, the MEC has unreservedly condemn any act of violence, vandalism and criminality committed under the guise of service delivery concerns and those of who would want to boycott elections. “In the 25th year of freedom South Africa has made remarkable progress in the transition from apartheid to democracy. This transition has been peaceful despite the country's history of violent conflict and dis- possession.

Armecin Johannah Motswatswe Surika Rabe Vamsidhar Reddy TS Kamal Vatta Bayan Yesperova This report is the product of team work with equal contribution from the authors whose names are listed in alphabetical order International Centre for development North West Department of oriented Research in Agriculture Agriculture, Conservation and (ICRA) Environment (NWDACE), Eastern PO Box 88, 6700 AB Wageningen Region, Private Bag X82070 The Netherlands Steen Street 37, Rustenburg South Africa ABSTRACT The Mankwe and Madikwe Districts have serious problems regarding the conservation of natural resources. These areas are characterised by severe infrastructural deficiencies such as lack of irrigation equipment, roads, drinking, handling facilities for livestock, and fencing. Communal practices in time resulted in the reduction of genetic diversity of fauna and flora, which in turn created pressure on resources. The area is progressively drier from east to west with an annual rainfall of less than 600mm per annum. The study followed the Agriculture Research for Development (ARD) procedure developed by ICRA to achieve the objectives set for the field study. The village households were classified into six different household types on the basis of their sources of income and the nature of agricultural enterprises. Primary data were collected from 50 households spread over different household types.
