Extractions: ONE CHIEF IS ENOUGH!: UNDERSTANDING SAN TRADITIONAL AUTHORITIES IN THE NAMIBIAN CONTEXT Africas Indigenous Peoples: First Peoples or Marginalised Minorities? 24-25 May 2000 Prepared by of The Working Group of Indigenous Minorities in Southern Africa (WIMSA) Already in 1935 many influential people in southern Africa and Britain shared Chief Tshekedi Kkamas sentiment that the San lack leaders. When asked by a member of the South African District Committee of the London Missionary Society whether the Masarwa are politically on the same basis as the servant class of the Bamangwatos, the Chief stated, Yes, that is so and in my experience I have never known of one of their own people who could stand for them or lead them. (London Missionary Society, 1935: 19) Nowadays my San colleagues and I have to listen to government officials and others making statements to this effect: You people have never had leaders. Why do you need leaders today? or, If you want a leader, appoint one chief for all of you, because all of you speak the same Bushman language anyway.

Extractions: Inhabitants of the Republic of Namibia vary from hunter-gatherers, herders and farmers to an urban population consisting of traders, civil servants, industrialists and individuals in a wide diversity of professions, belonging to many different cultural and ethnic groups. The Owambo This is collective name for a group of tribes in northern Namibia and southern part of Angola. In the middle of 16 century these tribes which belonged to Bantu group moved southwards from the great lakes area in the East Africa and settled between Kunene and Okavango rivers.There are eight tribes of this group in northern Namibia at present with a total population of around 700 000 which represents almost half of the population of the country (45%). As agriculturists producing mostly millet and pastoralists, they supplemented their subsistence economy with hunting, fishing and gathering wild foods. Kwanyama and Ndongo are the largest tribes (approx. 36 and 27% respectively) while Kwambi, Ngandjera, Mbalanhu, Kwaluudhi, Eunda and Nkolonkadhi are the smaller tribes. They have own dialects. The Owambo social organization is matrilineal (children belong to the mother's clan) although they are changing it towards patrilineal system. The chief's position and a man's health are inherited by his younger brother or sister's son, and not by his own children, since they belong to the mother's family. The tribe is traditionally headed by a hereditary chief, although more and more councils of senior headmen make the decisions.

Extractions: Hundred of thousands have died from the direct or indirect effects of the war, and there are many thousands of orphans, widows and disabled people. Recent data for employment are scarce, although government figures from 1995 indicates that 63% of people working in Luanda were employed in the informal sector. Angola is ranked 160th out of 174 countries in the UN development Program's Human Development Index in 2000. The huge war-related population upheavals have transformed Angolan society. The first of the these upheavals was in 1960, when hundreds of thousands of Bakongo were uprooted in the north-western provinces, following the harsh colonial response to the UPA rebellion, and took refuge across the border in what is now the DRC (ex-Zaire). Other Bakongo, and Africans in some other parts of the country, were regrouped into fortified villages by the portugueses. During the 1980s, most of the Bakongo

Extractions: COUNTRY STUDIES IN LATE 1988, ANGOLAN SOCIETY still bore the scars inflicted by five centuries of colonial rule and by a fourteen-year-long insurgency that had drained the national treasury and frustrated the government's efforts to implement Marxist-Leninist policies. Complicating the study of contemporary Angolan society was the limited information available to researchers. During the period of turmoil that began in 1975, few Western observers had been allowed access to government-controlled areas. Furthermore, the Angolan press was closely controlled by the government and prone to propagandistic reporting; antigovernment sources were equally slanted. Despite these limitations, certain features of Angolan society could be outlined, if not clearly discerned. In 1988 Angola had an estimated population of 8.2 million, the great majority of whom lived in the western half of the country. Nearly 7 million Angolans lived in government-controlled areas. The remainder, an estimated 1.25 million, resided in rebel-held regions. Most Angolans inhabited rural areas, although there had been a significant trend since the 1970s toward urban growth. By 1988 about a third of the population was living in towns and cities. Most of the urban areas were in the more populous western half of the country.
