  • SANDF Control of the Northern and Eastern Border Areas of South Africa Ettienne Hennop, Arms Management Programme, Institute for Security Studies
    SANDF Control of the Northern and Eastern Border Areas of South Africa Ettienne Hennop, Arms Management Programme, Institute for Security Studies Occasional Paper No 52 - August 2001 INTRODUCTION Borderline control and security were historically the responsibility of the South African Police (SAP) until the withdrawal of the counterinsurgency units at the end of 1990. The Army has maintained a presence on the borders in significant numbers since the 1970s. In the Interim Constitution of 1993, borderline functions were again allocated to the South African Police Service (SAPS). However, with the sharp rise in crime in the country and the subsequent extra burden this placed on the police, the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) was placed in service by the president to assist and support the SAPS with crime prevention, including assistance in borderline security. As a result, the SANDF had a strong presence with 28 infantry companies and five aircraft deployed on the international borders of South Africa at the time.1 An agreement was signed on 10 June 1998 between the SANDF and the SAPS that designated the responsibility for borderline protection to the SANDF. In terms of this agreement, as contained in a cabinet memorandum, the SANDF has formally been requested to patrol the borders of South Africa. This is to ensure that the integrity of borders is maintained by preventing the unfettered movement of people and goods across the South African borderline between border posts. The role of the SANDF has been defined technically as one of support to the SAPS and other departments to combat crime as requested.2 In practice, however, the SANDF patrols without the direct support of the other departments.

  • A Farm Survey of Small-Scale Sugarcane Growers in Nkomazi, Mpumalanga Province, South Africa
    Global A farm survey of Development small-scale Institute sugarcane growers in Nkomazi, Working Paper Series Mpumalanga 2017-018 province, South December 2017 Africa 1 Philip Woodhouse 1 Professor of Environment and Development, Global Development Institute, The University of Manchester, United Kingdom. Email: [email protected] Paul James2 2 Global Development Institute, The University of Manchester, United Kingdom. ISBN: 978-1-909336-41-4 Cite this paper as: Woodhouse, Phil and James, Paul (2017). A farm survey of small-scale sugarcane growers in Nkomazi, Mpumalanga province, South Africa. GDI Working Paper 2017- 018. Manchester: The University of Manchester. www.gdi.manchester.ac.uk This paper is part of a research project “Farm scale and viability: an assessment of black economic empowerment in sugar production in Mpumalanga Province, South Africa”, funded by the UK government ESRC-DFID Joint Programme on Poverty Alleviation. Grant no. ES/1034242/1 Abstract Against a context of declining sugar output in South Africa as a whole, the sugar industry in the Nkomazi Municipality of Mpumalanga Province has increased its share of the South African market. It has achieved this despite the transfer of at least 25 per cent of land growing sugarcane into black community ownership through South Africa’s land reform programme. The industry now claims that the majority of land used for sugar cane in Nkomazi is owned by the beneficiaries of land reform. This paper describes a survey of small-scale sugar-cane growers. It presents quantitative data that shows, on the one hand, a process of land concentration and ‘accumulation from below’, visible in the emergence of medium-scale growers, and, on the other hand, a move by the sugar milling company to take more direct control of sugarcane growing through rental agreements with small-scale land-owners.

    A Smallgrower’s Challenge to ‘Emerge’ Exploring the diversity of evapotranspiration, biomass, yield production and crop water productivity of sugar cane in the Lower Komati sub-catchment, South Africa M.Sc. Thesis by G.M. ten Napel March 2009 Irrigation and Water Engineering Group A Smallgrower’s Challenge to ‘Emerge’ Exploring the diversity of evapotranspiration, biomass, yield production and crop water productivity of sugar cane in the Lower Komati sub-catchment, South Africa Master thesis Irrigation and Water Engineering submitted in partial fulfillment of the degree of Master of Science in International Land and Water Management at Wageningen University, the Netherlands G.M. ten Napel March 2009 Supervisors: Dr. Ir. Flip Wester Dr. Ir. Richard Soppe Dr. Ir. Gerardo van Halsema Irrigation and Water Engineering Group WaterWatch Centre for Water and Climate Remote Sensing Services Wageningen University Wageningen The Netherlands The Netherlands http://www.iwe.wur.nl http://www.waterwatch.nl ABSTRACT The Inkomati catchment is one of 19 Water Management Areas (WMAs) in South Africa bordering Mozambique and Swaziland. Within the Inkomati WMA, the Lower Komati sub- catchment is an area of intensive sugarcane farming. Historically, the area was reserved for large scale ‘white’ commercial farming, but since Apartheid came to an end in 1994, the South African government is aiming to redress the racial and gender inequities of the past. In 1994, the Nkomazi Irrigation Expansion Programme (NIEP) was started with the objective to promote economic development for the ‘black’ people in the area. 9,800ha of previously under utilized land was transformed into 1500 irrigated sugarcane farming ventures.
