Magole Harry Oppenheimer Okavango Research Centre June 2009 TDA Botswana Public Health OKAVANGO RIVER BASIN TRANS-BOUNDARY DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENT (TDA): BOTSWANA COMPONENT Partial Report KEY PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUES IN THE OKAVANGO BASIN, BOTSWANA Coordinated by Dr L. Magole Harry Oppenheimer Okavango Research Centre (HOORC), University of Botswana Report prepared by Professor M.J. Chimbari Contract: June 2009 2 TDA Botswana Public Health EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report addresses key health issues in the Okavango Delta and its riparian areas as part of the Botswana component of the Okavango River Basin Trans-boundary Diagnostic Assessment (TDA). The analysis identified potential health risks and hazards, initially screened them and analysed those considered to be important on the basis of the initial screening. The analysis used a combination of TDA and Health Impact Assessment (HIA) methodologies. In the initial screening schistosomiasis, malaria, trypanosomiasis, filariasis, cholera, diarrheal diseases, chemical poisoning, malnutrition and injuries were identified as potential health hazards. Of these potential hazards only schistosomiasis and malaria were subjected to detailed analysis as their risk in the context of TDA and their associations with water were classified as very high. Previous publications indicated that transmission was once very high in Ngami district particularly in Maun but was controlled to a point where its public health importance became insignificant in 1993. Since then no other studies were conducted and notification of the disease became so relaxed resulting in possible underreporting of cases. However, snail surveys conducted as late as 2009 show that the intermediate host snails for both Schistosomiasis haematobium and Schistosomiasis mansoni are present within the Delta and the Boro and Thamalakane rivers.

This thesis deploys Homi Bhabha’s perspective of postcolonial literary theory as a critical procedure to examine particular instances of fiction, as well as reportage on Botswana. Its unifying interest is to pinpoint the shifting nature or reality of Botswana and, by extension, of African identities. To that end, I use Bhabha’s concept of liminality to inform the work of writers such as Unity Dow, Alexander McCall Smith, and instances of reportage (by Rupert Isaacson and Caitlin Davies), from the 1990s to date. The aims of the thesis are, among other things, to establish the extent to which Homi Bhabha’s appropriation of the term liminality (which derives from Victor Turner’s notion of limen for inbetweenness), and its application in the postcolonial context inflects the reading of the above works whose main motifs include the following: a contestation of any views which privilege one culture above another, challenging a jingoistic rootedness in one culture, and promoting an awareness of the existence of several, interlocking or even clashing realities which finally produce multiple meanings, values and identities.
