Conditionalities : Five conditions have been agreed upon as necessary to be met by projects requiring support from the SADC Rhino Conservation Programme , namely:
  • Projects must be of a SADC regional nature or importance;
  • Projects must be limited to subspeciesCeratotherium simum simum, Diceros bicornis minor, Diceros bicornis bicornis ;
  • Fundamental rhino management issues such as land use economics, community involvement, etc. must be taken into account;

    A cultural approach to AIDS in Africa

    - As the HIV/AIDS scourge continues to cause havoc within southern Africa , voices are growing for serious consideration of a cultural approach to the prevention and awareness of the infection. UNAIDS, in conjunction with UNESCO, organized an international conference on the cultural approach to HIV/AIDS prevention and care. The conference held in Nairobi, urged the world to approach the disease from a cultural perspective as well as medical. The conference put forward a methodological handbook with guidelines and strategies. A cultural approach to HIV/AIDS entails tackling the problem from a position of values, norms, traditions and other cultural institutions as platforms to discuss and communicate about the virus and the disease. This approach hopes to entrench every action of tradition, beliefs and value systems for ethical and practical reasons. It also mobilizes cultural resources including, knowledge, modes of economic and social organization and creativity and self-confidence. African leaders have called for a full-scale war to fight the AIDS catastrophe. Speaking at the African Development Forum in Addis Abba former Zambian president Kenneth Kaunda said: "Let us strike back declaring war, total war on HIV/AIDS not a national war that only appears in speeches at conferences and meetings but a war that becomes part and parcel of the life of this continent".

Celebrated from 26 December thru 1 January, its origins are in the first harvest celebrations of Africa from which it takes its name. The name Kwanzaa is derived from the phrase "matunda ya kwanza" which means "first fruits" in Swahili, a Pan-African language which is the most widely spoken African language. The first-fruits celebrations are recorded in African history as far back as ancient Egypt and Nubia and appear in ancient and modern times in other classical African civilizations such as Ashantiland and Yorubaland. These celebrations are also found in ancient and modern times among societies as large as empires (the Zulu or kingdoms (Swaziland) or smaller societies and groups like the Matabele, Thonga and Lovedu, all of southeastern Africa. Kwanzaa builds on the five fundamental activities of Continental African "first fruit" celebrations: ingathering; reverence; commemoration; recommitment; and celebration. Kwanzaa, then, is:

    AFRICAN POLITICAL CULTURES AND THE PROBLEMS OF GOVERNMENT
    Elliott P. Skinner INTRODUCTION
    The thesis of this essay is that African countries will continue to be racked by conflicts unless leaders agree about how to govern their multi-faceted nation-states and how to distribute their economic resources equitably. Without a compromise that would ensure "ethnic justice", neither so-called "liberal democracy", nor any other species of government will succeed in Africa. If "liberal democracy" presently has any evolutionary advantages, it will have to adapt to local realities, and its contours will be shaped by indigenous African socio-cultural traditions. These have been changing over time, and now face the challenge of a Post-Cold War world where people are demanding equity. Can anthropologists contribute to the debate about these issues? Recently, while explaining to a group of influential Americans the constitutional problems in his country, an African diplomat remarked with a smile, "Oh, I was told that I must not use the concept 'tribalism' in America, but should use 'ethnicity' instead." What he implied was that whether one called his fellow citizens "tribalists" or "ethnics", they used the same sentiment in competing for power and all that flowed from that. Thus, a concept that had formerly been used to trivialize the complexity of African societies undergoing colonization was proving to be impervious to change by later anthropologists and by Africans themselves (1).

    Swaziland: Liberation without Nationalism?
    Historically there were close links between the ANC and Swazi elites and even workers. The Swazi monarchy took part in the founding of the ANC in 1912, and Queen Regent Labotsibeni provided the capital for the launching of Congress' newspaper, Abantu-Batho. Congress leaders were part of a Swaziland delegation to England. Like the period after the banning of the ANC in South Africa, a political vacuum occurred in the opposition, although worker-nationalist links made may have endured underground. The death of Sobhuza II in 1982, and the gradual inauguration of his successor, Prince Makhosetive, ushered in not only a dynastic power struggle, but a more prominent opposition, including student protests and the distribution of opposition leaflets in rural areas in 1983, inducing a partial boycott of the 1983 election.
