The Effect of Rural Inequality
THE EFFECT OF RURAL INEQUALITY ON FERTILITY, MIGRATION, ENVIRONMENT AND THUS AGRICULTURAL SUSTAINABILITY: A CASE STUDY IN THE ARID AND SEMI-ARID AREAS IN THE NORTHERN PROVINCE OF SOUTH AFRICA: FINAL REPORT: 17 April 2002, amended 10 May Johann Kirsten, Juliana Rwelamira, Frances Fraser and Moraka Makhura 1. INTRODUCTION This chapter, which is in essence descriptive, reports the results of the survey of land and asset size, structure and distribution, and of some possibly related demographic and environmental circumstances, in Northern Province (NP) (recently renamed to Limpopo Province), South Africa. First, however, for readers to interpret these results and compare them with the other two country surveys in this study, we must explain the basic social indicators of the country (see Table 1), the unusual forms of inequality, poverty, asset ownership, rural and agricultural activity, and unemployment in South Africa. Table 1: Social indicators for South Africa (1996/97/98) Indicator South Africa Northern Province Population (Census, 1996) 40.58 million 4.93 million Population growth rate 2.08 % 2.31% Urban population as % of total 53.70% 10.95% Infant mortality rate 41 53 Total fertility rate 2.7 3.2 % of population < 15yrs 34.33% 42.75% Life expectancy at birth 63 63 Non-urban economic active population as 32.9% 82.8% percentage of total economic active population Total unemployment rate (See footnote 3 on p3) 33.8% 45.9% Doctors per 10 000 population 2.9 1.5 Hospital beds per 1 000 population 4.0 3.1 Diseases1: % of HIV infected women

The IDP is the blueprint of the Municipality where all plans, programmes and projects are documented including those from Sector departments and private sector. As a norm, on yearly basis we embark on a process to consult communities and stakeholders to make inputs into the direction that the Municipality is taking. However due to the Covid 19 pandemic, we had to rely on digital platforms to communicate with our communities. We also managed to conduct a successful virtual special Council sitting on the 29th May 2020, where we adopted the final 2020/21 IDP and Budget.

Is the Revitalisation of Smallholder Irrigation Schemes (RESIS) Programme in South Africa a Viable Option for Smallholder Irrigation Development?
Is the Revitalisation of Smallholder Irrigation Schemes (RESIS) programme in South Africa a viable option for smallholder irrigation development? Maatla Aaron Maepa1, Godswill Makombe1* and Matshidiso Kanjere1 1University of Limpopo, Turfloop Graduate School of Leadership, PO Box 756, Fauna Park, 0787, South Africa ABSTRACT Smallholder irrigation in South Africa comprises only 3% of the irrigated area. Despite this relatively small area share, Limpopo Province is using the development of smallholder irrigation as a way of developing rural areas and correcting historical imbalances. Unlike the smallholder irrigation developed in most African countries, which focuses mainly on food security through subsistence production, Limpopo Province aims to develop commercial smallholder irrigation. Plots in this model are not fragmented. Initially the farmers are paired with a strategic partner knowledgeable about both the operation of irrigation and the crops grown. After 3 years the strategic partner transfers all ownership to farmers. We use gross margin analysis from one production cycle to assess the financial viability of this model. We conclude that there is potential for the model to be financially viable if farmers can get access to cash flow support in the form of credit which they can pay off at the end of a production cycle. This could be an innovative way of smallholder agricultural water management and of transforming poor subsistence farmers to commercial producers and thereby correcting historical imbalances. Keywords: smallhoder irrigation, financial viability, gross margin, South Africa INTRODUCTION common characteristic is that farmers make independent deci- sions on their small plots, with regards to crops grown, crop Smallholder irrigation involves many forms of water control, management practices and water management.
