The present geological period has more species than any other, yet the current rate of extinction of species is greater now than at any time in the past. Ecosystems and communities are being degraded and destroyed, and species are being driven to extinction. The species that persist are losing genetic variation as the number of individuals in populations shrinks, unique populations and subspecies are destroyed, and remaining populations become increasingly isolated from one another. The cause of this loss of biological diversity at all levels is the range of human activity that alters and destroys natural habitats to suit human needs.” (Primack, 2002). CapeNature launched its State of Biodiversity Programme (SoBP) to assess and monitor the state of biodiversity in the Western Cape in 1999. This programme delivered its first report in 2002 and these reports are updated every five years. The current report (2007) reports on the changes to the state of vertebrate biodiversity and land under conservation usage.

    1 Rural Governance in Post-1994 South Africa

    Rural governance in post-1994 South Africa: Has the question of citizenship for rural inhabitants been settled 10 years in South Africa’s democracy? Lungisile Ntsebeza Associate Professor Department of Sociology University of Cape Town South Africa [email protected] ABSTRACT Against the background of rural local governance that was dominated by apartheid created authoritarian Tribal Authorities, the post-1994 South African state has committed itself to the establishment of an accountable, democratic and effective form of governance throughout the country, including rural areas falling under the jurisdiction of traditional authorities (chiefs of various ranks). However, I argue that the promulgation of the Traditional Leadership and Governance Framework Act and the Communal Land Rights Bill (CLRB) runs the risk of compromising this project. The Framework Act establishes traditional councils which are dominated by unelected traditional authorities and their appointees, while the CLRB gives these structures unprecedented powers over land administration and allocation. This raises, I argue, serious questions about the meaning of democracy and citizenship in post-1994, in particular for rural people. Rural citizens do not seem to enjoy the same rights as their urban counterparts who elect their leaders. 1 Introduction The post-1994 South African state has committed itself to the establishment of a democratic, representative and accountable form of governance throughout the country.1 This is by far a most challenging task especially
