GENERAL 1.1 Introduction The Geologicfll Survey Department remained within the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Water Affairs and continued wi·~h its main funct.ions of gathering, assessing, and disseminating all data related to the rocks, mineral deposits and groundwater resources of Botswana. The departmental organisation remained as in previous years and consists of the Directorate, three operational divisions of Field Geology, Hydrogeology and Geophysics, plus an administrative division. Support to these divisions was provided by the Chemistry and Industrial Minerals laboratorLes, Drawing Office, Library and Records and Drilling sections. The staffing position within the professional and technical cadres remained "reasonably satisfactory, though the Geophysics and Hydrogeology Divisions were understaffed, mainly because of the recruitment freeze imposed following the water restrictions introduced in the Gaborone-Lobatse area. The posts of Senior Chemist and Technical Records Officer were both filled in 1984. A long serving local officer, Mr. R.J. Malejane, retired from the Civil Service after working for more than 20 year's at the Survey. Mr. D. Buckley, Hydrogeologist, returned to the UK on completion of his tour, having served in the Survey for three years, while Dr. Chr. Neumann-f((,dlin, Senior Hydrogeologist, returned to BGI!, Hannover, after serving for 5 1/2 years with the Geological Survey Dl?parCrnent. 1 Mr. C. Black, Deputy Director, left the Survey in early 1984, when his post was localised by the appointment of Mr. M. Sek,"ale. Thus 1984 saw the completion of the localisation process initiated in late 1983 with the appointmen: of IVJr. M.P. Modisi as Assistant Director. On the 1st of January, 1984, Mr. T.P. Machacha and IVJr. M. Sekvvale were appointed Director and Deputy Director respectively, while Dr. G.C. Clark, former Director, \Vas appointed adviser to the new incumbents for a period of six months. Dr. Clark finally left the Survey in July, 1984, after serving with the Department for a period of nine years. A satisfactory work programme was completed by the Field Geology division. Final reports of surveys conducted in the previous year were completed. Field ~llapping of the poorly exposed parts of Southern Botswana, (ODS 2421+D and 2525C,D) was completed. Mapping of the Foley quarter degree sheet (ODS 2127C) was completed and the accompanying map and bulletin were to be compiled in 1985. Field mapping of the Letlhakeng Sheet (ODS 2425A), was started this year while preparations for mapping the Kanye Sheet (OD:,) 21+25C) were underway. The division also continued with its strong exploration activity in the field of industrial minerals and a limited amount of work in base metal and coal exploration. The Mineral Resource Report No. 7, on the potential for quick lime production, was published during the year. 2 A close overview of the explorat.Lort work undertaken by the private exploration companies was maintained, where the mal n thrust continued to be directed toward,; the '.leuI'ch for diamondiferous kimberlites and detailed evaluation of the known coalfields. This year also saw a lot of interest being shown in base metals and platinum group metals in the Molopo Farms Complex. Both the Hydrogeology and Geophysics divisions continued to be heavily involved in groundwater exploration and development projects. However their work was slowed down by the recruitment freeze imposed during the year because of the water restrictions. The two divisions continued to do work in response to the country wide drought conditions and to the serious water supply shortage in the Gaborone-Lobatse area. The Department, in conjunction with the Department of Water Affairs, continued the search for water in parts of eastern Botswana. All groundwater explorat.ion and development projects introduced in the work programme in 1984 under the drought and the Gaboroile-Lobatse water supply crisis were completed during the year. Work on the production of the 1:500 000 hydrogeological reconnaissance map sheets was continued during 1985. Map Sheet No. 11 was compiled and completed, while the compilation of map sheet No. 8 was started. This m~pping programme was a joint research project with the 'Department of Geology at the University of Botswana. The Geophysics division conti nued to ,mppo[' t Cl reBearch project by the University of Michigan, USA, whereby heat flow measurements were obtained from deep boreholes drilled at several localities throughout Botswana. The final measure­ ments were made in July, 1984. In the support section the Drawing Office completed the second edition of the geological map of Botswana, which was finally published in early 1984. The Chemistry Laboratory was for the first time fully staffed, with four pro1fessional chemists. In late 1984, however, most the technical staff had left the Survey for overseas courses. The drilling unit continued to be staffed by two expatriate drillers. One bilateral technical aid project funded by the UK as part of the GS-17 project over the Molopo Farms area was completed in 1984 and the project leader, Dr. David Gould, left Botswana in September. The two new aid projects initiated by CIDA in 1983 continued to run smoothly in 1984. ThesE' ... are the driller training project which started in May, 1983 and is due to end .in May, 1986, and the CIDA funded prq,gramme to localise the geophysics unit. DUTing this year three more students were sent to Canada for training as geophysicists and electronic engineers. Two other students were also sent to Canada to train as geological technicians. The German government started another technical aid project as a continuation of the GS-17 programme. The project is for mineral exploration over the Vumba Schist belt, North­ east District. The project started in September, 1984 and is 4 due for completion in August, 1986. The UK government carried out a feasibility study on the possibility of undertaking a mineral exploration/mapping project on the Ghanzi-Chobe foldbelt. Their conclusions were positive, so that if funding is available this project is expected to take off in late 1986/early 1987. 5 5. HYDROGEOLOGY DIVISION 5.1 Introduction The year 1984 saw the completion of all groundwater exploration and development projects which had been introduced in the work programme in 1984, under the drought and water shortage crisis in Gaborone and Lobatse. As the year progressed the division was increasingly affected by the recruitment freeze imposed by government early in 1984, following the introduction of water supply restrictions for Gaborone and Lobatse. Posts falling vac8nt during the year could not be filled in time to maintain continuity in the divisional work. After May, 1984 no new projects were accepted. The shortage of experienced hydrogeologists hampered the training progr~mme for local hydrogeologists and severely reduced the capacity of the division as consultants for Government and public. As hydrogeologists left and projects were completed all remaining resources were concentrated on the training of local hydrogeologists as well as technical assistants. The ground­ water monitoring programme, largely operated by technical assistants, was expanded and further efforts concentrated on the up-grading of the borehole records archives. Mr. Marobela and Mr. Selaolo, both BSc graduates in geology, joined the division in January as Assistant Hydro­ geologists. They received training in hydrogeology. Mr. J. Sethono joined the division in July, 1984 as a trainee 17 Technical Assistant. 5.2 Groundwater Exploration and Development Projects Letlhakeng Groundwater Study The first phase of this study, which had been commenced in June, 1983 was completed in August, 1984. The objective was to investigate the hydrogeolbkyof the Karoo succession in ., . the area between Molepolole and Letlhakeng and to assess its groundwater potential for possible regional water supply. An underlying objective had been to investigate the possible . , existence of a groundwater resource of the magnitude similar to the one developed in the Jwaneng wellfield. The conclusions derived from the first phase of the study can be summarised as follows: The area between Molepolole and Letlhakeng is underlain by geological formations unfavourable for large ground\vater storage. The exceptionally favourable aquifer characteristic~ of Jwaneng probably exist in a delta with sands developed on the margin of the Karoo basin. Geophysical investigation techniques and data interpretation methods applied with this first approach did not produce the information expected. In a follow-up, the search for delta sediments along the Karoo basin margin will be continued. A largely geological approach will be taken. Simultaneously geophysical investigation techniques and data interpretation methods are to be reviewed with the aim of developing techniques suitable for the detectim of lineaments under Kalahari cover and the tracing 18 of basement structure under Kalahari!Karoo over-burden. Experimental geophysical investigations in the Letlhakeng area and the Jwaneng wellfield were

  • 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.

The focus has shifted towards a more open-ended perspective where the local context and poverty alleviation are in focus. As a result, the new key concepts in the discourse are livelihoods and urban-rural linkages. The academic interest is focused on the question: how are African households surviving given their increasing difficult economic circumstances? In the African context, Botswana is a special case.

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.

  • Ethnoarchaeology of Pottery: Style and Technology Boundaries in Southeast Botswana
    UNIVERSITY OF THE WITWATERSRAND, SCHOOL OF GEOGRAPHY, ARCHAEOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Ethnoarchaeology of Pottery: Style and Technology Boundaries in Southeast Botswana ______________________________________________________________________________ Phenyo Churchill Thebe A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own unaided work for submission for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of the Witwatersrand. The degree is by publication and my publications, submitted paper and contribution in co-authored papers are detailed in the text. The thesis has not been submitted before for any degree or examination at any other University. Phenyo Churchill Thebe Date 22 March 2017 i Abstract The notion that ceramic styles mark ethnic and linguistic groups is problematic. The notion perceives cultures as geographically discrete with distinct material and cultural traits. Research in the 1960s has demonstrated that social boundaries are a product of interaction and not isolation. Ethnoarchaeological research in the 1970s and 1980s adopted information exchange and social interaction models to understand stylistic boundaries. These studies show that material culture style does not always mark ethnic or linguistic boundaries and may not be prominent if there is no competition for resources. Depending on a number of factors, style variations in material culture may mark the style of an individual, a community of practice or social identity. Other factors are also relevant; the matter is complex. To investigate this complexity, an ethnoarchaeological study was launched to study the products of 41 contemporary potters affiliated with different social, political and linguistic groups in south-eastern Botswana.
