Is Roadside Grass Suitable for Use As Livestock Forage in Botswana?
Vol. 5(10), pp. 265-268, November, 2013 DOI: 10.5897/JECE2013.0297 Journal of Environmental Chemistry and ISSN 2141-226X ©2013 Academic Journals Ecotoxicology http://www.academicjournals.org/JECE Full Length Research Paper Is roadside grass suitable for use as livestock forage in Botswana? Samuel Mosweu1* and Moagi Letshwenyo2 1Department of Geography and Environmental Science, University of Fort Hare, Alice, South Africa. 2Department of Biological Science, University of Botswana, Gaborone, Botswana. Accepted 6 November, 2013 The aim of this research was to assess the suitability of roadside grass for use as livestock feed to combat lack of forage resources in Botswana. Fifty grass samples were collected along the roadside in the A1 Highway corridor running between the Ramatlabama and Ramokgwebana border gates (629 Km), and analysed for Ni, Cu, Pb, Zn and Cd. The maximum content levels detected in grass samples for Ni, Cu, Pb, Zn and Cd were 0.432, 0.187, 0.180, 0.154 and 0.03 mg/kg respectively. Assessment of the results against international maximum allowable limits of undesirable substances in animal feed showed that the content levels of heavy metal contaminants in grass resources found along the roadsides in the A1 Highway corridor in Botswana were far below maximum allowable limits. Therefore, this study supported the use of roadside grass for production of forage to combat scarcity of livestock feed in the country. However, the study recommended the establishment of an environmental management and monitoring approach to facilitate continued monitoring of the quality of forage produced from roadside grass and ensure protection of human and animal health. -

Open Educational Resources (OER) for Open Schooling The Commonwealth of Learning (COL) Open Schools Initiative launched an Open Educational Resources (OER) Project to provide materials under the Creative Commons license agreement to support independent study in 17 specially selected secondary school subjects. Funded by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation its aim is to broaden access to secondary education through the development of high quality Open Distance Learning (ODL) or self‐study materials. These specially selected OER subjects include: 1. Commerce 11 2. Coordinated Science 10 (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) 3. English 12 4. English Second Language 10 5. Entrepreneurship 10 6. Food & Nutrition 7. Geography 10 8. Geography 12 9. Human Social Biology 12 10. Life Science 10 11. Life Skills 12. Mathematics 11 13. Mathematics 12 14. Physical Science 10 15. Physical Science 12 16. Principles of Business 17. Spanish Open Educational Resources are free to use and increase accessibility to education. These materials are accessible for use in six countries: Botswana, India, Lesotho, Namibia, Seychelles and Trinidad & Tobago. Other interested parties are invited to use the materials, but some contextual adaptation might be needed to maximise their benefits in different countries. The OER for Open Schooling Teachers’ Guide has been developed to guide teachers/instructors on how to use the Open Educational Resources (OER) in five of these courses. 1. English 2. Entrepreneurship 3. Geography 4. Life Science 5. Physical Science The aim of this teachers’ guide is to help all teachers/instructors make best use of the OER materials. This guide is generic, but focuses on Namibian examples. -

The scientific names of the families, genera, and species are arranged alphabetically. Vernacular names are also arranged alphabetically, starting with Setswana and followed by English. Setswana names are separated by a semi-colon from English names. A glossary at the end of the book defines botanical terms used in the text. Species that are listed in the Red Data List for Botswana are indicated by an ® preceding the name. The letters N, SW, and SE indicate the distribution of the species within Botswana according to the Flora zambesiaca geographical regions. Flora zambesiaca regions used in the checklist.

BULAWAYO RAILWAY, from the LATE 1800S to 1960S A
UNDERDEVELOPMENT IN EASTERN BECHUANALAND: THE DYNAMIC ROLE OF THE MAFIKENG – BULAWAYO RAILWAY, FROM THE LATE 1800s to 1960s A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada © Bafumiki Mocheregwa, 2016 History M.A. Graduate Program May 2016 ABSTRACT Underdevelopment in Eastern Bechuanaland: The Dynamic Role of the Mafikeng – Bulawayo Railway, From the Late 1800s to 1960s. Bafumiki Mocheregwa This thesis offers a comprehensive look at the changing roles of a colonial built railway in what is now eastern Botswana. It was built for the extraction of mineral wealth and migration of cheap African labour in Southern Africa but it later assumed a different role of shaping the modern Botswana state. The thesis deals with several other issues related to the railway in Bechuanaland including land alienation, the colonial disregard of the chiefs’ authority, racial discrimination and the economic underdevelopment of Bechuanaland. Since there were no other significant colonial developments at the time of independence, this thesis argues that the railway was the only important feature of the British colonisation of Bechuanaland. From early on, the railway attracted different cultures, identities and religions. It was also instrumental in the introduction of an indigenous capitalist class into Bechuanaland. Keywords: Bechuanaland, colonisation, railway development, racial discrimination, underdevelopment, society, capitalism and capitalist class, labour migration, Botswana, trade, Rhodesia, the Rand. ii PREFACE On September 30th, 1966, Bechuanaland was declared an independent country. The discussion to make that move had begun a few years prior. -
