It is bounded to the northwest by largely undeformed Palaeoproterozoic basement lithologies of the Bangweulu block and is truncated to the northeast by Mesoproterozoic and Neoproterozoic transcurrent shear zones within reactivated parts of the Palaeoproterozoic Ubendian belt. To the southeast and south, Irumide lithologies were reworked within the Neoproterozoic Lufilian and Zambezi belts, and to the east by the East African Orogen. The lithological units identified and dated as part of this study in the Irumide belt include: (1) limited Neoarchaean rocks emplaced at 2.73 Ga and representing the oldest rocks in the Bangweulu block; (2) ca. 2.05-1.85 Ga volcano-plutonic complexes and gneisses representing the most important components in the Bangweulu block; (3) an extensive quartzite-metapelite succession with minor carbonate forming the Mporokoso, Kanona and Manshya River groups, and deposited at ca. 1.8 Ga; (4) granitoids emplaced between 1.65-1.55 Ga; (5) deposition of the Kasama Formation between 1.43 and 1.05 Ga (second-cycle reworking of the Mporokoso Group); (6) voluminous syn- to post-kinematic Irumide granitoids emplaced between 1.05-0.95 Ga. In addition, a minor suite of 1.36-1.33 Ga anorogenic plutons (nepheline syenite and biotite granite) have been identified in the far northeastern Irumide belt, but were not included in this study.

Extractions: Chairperson Members of the Board Ladies and Gentlemen Let me take this opportunity to thank the DBSA for inviting us to attend the launch of their annual report and to say a few words. We have been asked to say a few words about the role of infrastructure in the development process of our country and region of Southern Africa. The centrality of infrastructure, both physical and social, in development cannot be emphasised. Therefore any development process must entail a commitment to investment in infrastructure. Infrastructure forms the backbone, the base upon which most of our programmes can flourish. Infrastructure, in all its forms, is a catalyst for development. Well-planned and managed infrastructure can enhantion costs. It enables established businesses to expand their production levels, while encouraging small businesses to enter the market. It also promotes trade and supports economic concentration. Our government is committed to promoting the development of the country and the region as a whole. We take the view that development is about people. In South Africa, our government is investing in infrastructure to eliminate service backlogs in under-serviced areas, especially the black townships and rural areas, in order to meet our people's basic needs.

Extractions: WETLANDS, the worlds' "biological shopping basket", have been recognized as a powerful catalyst for creating cultural bondages and solidarity. Professor Tadao Ando of the University of Tokyo, says politicians and governments must recognize "water and cultural diversity", as a key instrument to human development and as a cradle of civilisation. "The close relationship between water and the people is being lost in the present era of economic rationality", said Prof during the 3rd World Water Forum in Kyoto-Japan. Wetlands are said to be the source of life and are biological supermarkets for shopping of fish, and agricultural products for human beings. A report by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), Kafue Partners for Wetlands Project in Zambia, indicate that wetlands are also a source of culture. The report says, in this amazingly diverse society, more than 70 cultures agree on at least this one important issue-water represents nourishment, not only for the body but the spirit as well. The WWF-Kafue Partners for wetlands has taken the cultural aspects of water seriously. This is through its Integrated Water Resources Management Programme launched in 2001. WWF Partners for Wetlands Project Manager, Nyambe Nalumino agrees that water plays an

I am posting this to the DistList with the thought that it may come to the attention of some agency or institution whose mission might encompass support for situations like the one described below. http://www.ifla.org/ April 14, 2000 Prof. J. Desmond Clark, emeritus professor of paleoarchaeology at the University of California, Berkeley, and one of the preeminent paleoarchaeologist and Africanists in the world, has just shown me a copy of a March 29, 2000 article from the Daily Telegraph (London) entitled: "Last Record of African Explorers Faces Ruin." The article was written by Ishbel Matheson in Livingstone, Zambia. It reads in part: "A priceless collection of books and documents, detailing the earliest days of European exploration in Africa, is under threat of destruction. The Livingstone Museum in southern Zambia has hundreds of valuable books, written by the first missionaries, adventurers and prospectors in central Africa. But the building's leaking ceiling collapsed in recent heavy rains, and many publications were damaged beyond repair. Others need expensive conservation work to save them. Piles of ancient, sodden volumes, with subjects as diverse as elephant-hunting and native practices, have been left to dry in the tropical heat. Early newspapers, with vivid descriptions of life in what was then British-ruled Northern Rhodesia, can scarcely be opened, for fear of tearing fragile, brittle pages.

Extractions: Sources: The Library of Congress Country Studies; CIA World Factbook Back to South Africa National Security The international fear of nuclear proliferation made South Africa the focus of intense concern during the 1980s. Although Pretoria initially would not confirm it was developing, or possessed, nuclear weapons, it had large natural deposits of uranium, as well as uranium enrichment facilities and the necessary technological infrastructure. In addition, until the late 1980s South Africa had the deeply entrenched fear of its adversaries and the insecurity about its borders that were important incentives in other nations' nuclear programs. After 1981 South Africa was able to produce annually about fifty kilograms of highly enriched uranium, enough to make two or three twenty-kiloton nuclear bombs each year. With the cooperation of Israelanother technologically advanced, militarily powerful, nuclear-capable nation surrounded by hostile neighborsSouth Africa developed at least six nuclear warheads, which it later acknowledged, along with a variety of missiles and other conventional weapons. In 1987 President Botha announced that South Africa was considering signing the 1968 Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) and would begin discussions with other countries toward that end. In September 1990, Pretoria agreed to sign the NPT, but only "in the context of an equal commitment by other states in the Southern African region." After intensive diplomatic efforts, especially by the United States and the Soviet Union, Tanzania and Zambia agreed to sign the treaty. South Africa signed the NPT in July 1991, and an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards agreement in September of that year. In addition, the government banned any further development, manufacture, marketing, import, or export of nuclear weapons or explosives, as required by the NPT. The IAEA declared it had completed its inspection in late 1994 and that South Africa's nuclear weapons facilities had been dismantled.

Extractions: History Zambia's history goes back to the debut of Homo sapiens : evidence of human habitation going back 100,000 years has been found at Kabwe, north of Lusaka. Beginning around 1000 AD, Swahili-Arab slave-traders gradually penetrated the region from their city-states on the eastern coast of Africa. Between the 14th and 16th centuries a Bantu-speaking group known as the Maravi migrated from present-day Congo (Za¯re) and established kingdoms in eastern and southeastern Zambia. In the 18th century, Portuguese explorers following the routes of Swahili-Arab slavers from the coast into the interior became the first known European visitors. After the Zulu nation to the south began scattering its neighbors, victims of the Difaqane (forced migration) began arriving in Zambia in the early 19th century. Squeezed out of Zimbabwe, the Makalolo people moved into southern Zambia, pushing the Tonga out of the way and grabbing Lozi territory on the upper Zambezi River. The celebrated British explorer David Livingstone travelled up the Zambezi in the 1850s, searching for a route into the interior of Southern Africa, hoping to introduce Christianity and European civilisation to combat the horrors of the slave trade. Livingstone's efforts attracted missionaries, who in turn brought hunters and prospectors in their wake. In the 1890s much of Zambia came under the control of the British South Africa Company (BSAC), which sought to prevent further Portuguese expansion in the area.

Extractions: Background and History BACKGROUND ON CHICHEWA AND RELATED LANGUAGES Chichewa is a language of the Bantu language family, spoken in parts of East, Central, and Southern Africa. It is spoken in Malawi where, from 1968 until recently, it has served as the national language. It is also spoken in Mozambique, especially in the provinces of Tete and Niassa, in Zambia (especially in the Eastern Province), as well as in Zimbabwe where, according to some estimates, it ranks as the third most widely used local language, after Shona and Ndebele. The countries of Malawi, Zambia, and Mozambique constitute the central location of Chichewa. Because of the national language policy adopted by the Malawi government, which promoted Chichewa through active educational programs, media usage and, other research activities carried out under the auspices of the Chichewa Board, out of a population of around 9 million, upwards of 65% have functional literacy or active command of this language. In Mozambique , the language goes by the name of Chinyanja, and it is native to 3.3% of a population numbering approximately 11.5 million . In Tete province it is spoken by 41.7% of a population of 777,426 and, it is the first language of 7.2% of the population of Niassa province, whose population totals 506,974 (see Firmino, 1995).
