THE STATUS OF FORESTRY STATISTICS IN SWAZILAND by Mr. Cliff S. DLAMINI P O Box 162 Mbabane - Swaziland 1. INTRODUCTION and can be divided into four broad ecological zones, parallel to each other from north to south. There are Highveld, Lowveld and Lubombo. The population is 960,000 according to the 1995 census. Generally, Swazi economy developed alongside and fashioned after South Africa. Owing to history and proximity the imports and exports manifest 80% and 60% interactions respectively, (SACU and Common Monetary Area). Commercial forestry accounts for diversity of produce that earns foreign revenue for Swaziland. The major forestry products are: unbleached kraft-pulp, sawn timber, furniture from pine (Pinus patula, Pinus elliotti, Pinus taeda and Pinus kesiya), mining timber for South Africa's mines (eucalyptus grandis and eucalyptus saligna), poles for fencing, construction and transmission lines, and sawn wood for furniture making. A small market South African for bark from black wattle has existed for a long time. A home market is situated at Matsapha Industrial Site to allow production, packing and export of tannin directly from Swaziland to Europe. Wattle is the main tree of rural communities which provides firewood, fencing and building material, bark (cash crop) and charcoal. Consequently, black wattle helps reducing the rate of deforestation of indigenous species. Indigenous forests are intermediate between grassland and bush cover. The trees are mostly less than 10 meters in height and with diameters of 10-15 centimetres. This is clearly an indication of savannah vegetation commonly found in lower, drier parts of the Middle and Lowveld. Degradation and deforestation of indigenous forests is occurring at serious but largely unmeasured rate. Exploitation of these forests is mainly for fuel wood, woodcarving and furniture by local people.

Thematic Workshops, Conferences, and Congresses National Workshops Discipline-Focused Workshops Regional and International Thematic Conferences OSSREA Congress One of the approaches followed by OSSREA to realize its aim of promoting dialogue and interaction between social scientists, on the one hand, and between the scholars, development practitioners, and policy-makers, on the other hand, is the creation of public forums for the discussion and dissemination of research findings that are pertinent to development. Such forums have taken the form of national workshops, discipline-focused workshops, regional and international thematic conferences and the OSSREA Congress. These workshops and conferences have resulted in important publications. National Workshops Initially, OSSREA had been organizing the National Workshops in collaboration with institutions in member countries. After the formation of the National Chapters, however, each one began to select a topic that is timely and relevant for that country and organised a national workshop in which members of its constituency and other experts in the field can presented papers and participated in the deliberations. This tradition has continued to-date although the timing of the workshops is irregular. So far the following National Workshops have been organised in various member countries: The Indigenization of the Zimbabwe Economy: Problems and Prospects. (18-19 August 1994)

I am happy to be back here in Swaziland, that part of Africa, that has for many years been home to many of us who were forced into exile. My condolences to the Royal family, for the loss of Inkosikati Gogo Zimba who passed away recently. We, who King Sobhuza II fondly referred to as the "children of Tambo" are greatly honoured to be amongst you, the Swazi people, who in our hour of need received us as your own and by so doing gave concrete expression to our common belief that we are indeed of one people. It is also a time full of emotions as we remember those who died so that South Africa should be free. In keeping with this belief, the ANC in its NEC statement of 15 July 1982 stated profoundly that:

There is a two-chamber legislature, the Libandla, consisting of a 65-member house of assembly (55 popularly elected and 10 appointed by the monarch) and a 30-member senate (20 appointed by the sovereign and 10 elected by the assembly). Candidates for the 55 elected assembly seats are nominated, at regional level, by traditional local councils (Tinkhundla). The powers of the Libandla are more advisory than legislative.

In essence this system was designed to prevent the modernists and reformers gaining even the smallest foothold in the political arena. Despite the apparent reintroduction of constitutional institutions, Swaziland was now an absolute monarchy, in which unauthorized public meetings were prohibited and preventive detention was used to deter opponents. King Sobhuza's own presence and personal skills might have kept this unusual political system working, but as he was now 80 years of age, provision had to be made for the succession, never an easy process in Swazi history. Before matters could be finalized, Sobhuza died suddenly, in August 1982. As so often in Swazi history, the death of the King ushered in a time of troubles, for the succession goes almost invariably to one of the late King's youngest sons. The Queen Mother, Dzeliwe, now assumed control as Queen Regent, pending the coming of age of the Crown Prince, whose identity was still a closely guarded secret (Sobhuza was survived by some 110 children, of whom 40 were sons). Dzeliwe soon found herself embroiled in a power struggle with some of the senior princes in the royal council, who feared that she might encourage reforms that could threaten their privileged position. In August 1983 the princes struck, deposing the Queen Regent, and replacing her with Queen Ntombi, the mother of the Crown Prince. This dramatic development caused a severe rift within the royal family, and led to unprecedented public protest, which abated only in September with the return of the Crown Prince from school in England.

Preface Mathews Phosa, premier of Mpumalanga province Published in Monograph No 22, Buy or Barter, March 1998 Conventional weapons systems, so decisive in conflicts where military is pitched against military, have little real effect in maintaining the security of civilian populations during and after wars. The majority of casualties, of abuses of authority and of indiscriminate killings are caused by the availability and use of small arms. Since small arms and light weapons, which include landmines, machine guns, grenades, pistols and rocket launchers, are standard issue during violent conflict and are not normally controlled during post-conflict processes, the potential of these weapons for illegal use - and abuse - is substantial. Because conflict resolution processes depend on socio-economic development, effective democracy and security (as seen in a credible law and order structure), these remedies require time and stability for their successful implementation. If there is indiscriminate access to the tools of violence (i.e., weapons), stability will be harder to maintain and development in time of peace will not take place. Seldom, if ever, have all weapons been collected at the end of an armed struggle. Physical security, primacy and economic necessity generate the force that propels the trade in small arms;

Brief history of the name of the Province, Mpumalanga The Mpumalanga Provincial Legislature established a multi-party ad-hoc committee in June 1995 to solicit public opinion on the change of the name of the province, Eastern Transvaal, which was associated with the former apartheid province, Transvaal and a history of colonial conquest. The ad-hoc committee placed advertisements in the media, both print and radio calling for submissions from members of the public. The ad-hoc committee developed five principles around which the preferred new name could be decided viz.: It must not be interpreted wrongly It should not be a combination of two names, e.g. (1) Eastern- (2) Transvaal or (1) Northern (2) Transvaal It should not exclude any part of the province It should not offend anyone or group It should enhance the image of the province From fifty-two submissions, the committee narrowed down to a shortlist of four names based on the above-mentioned principles. The five names were: Mpumalanga Simunye Bohlabelo Eastern Province Members of the Legislature were then requested to solicit public opinion within their constituencies on the short list, which were also published in newspapers in the province. The committee also started radio talk shows and phone-in programmes.

Print this page Annual Report Harare Regional delegation (Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, Swaziland, Zambia, Zimbabwe) Introduction In 1994 a number of positive changes came to southern Africa, affecting practically all the countries covered by the regional delegation. Democratic elections in Mozambique and South Africa were complemented by those in Malawi, where a new government was voted in, putting an end to 30 years of autocratic rule. The 1.5 million Mozambican refugees in the region had almost all returned home by the end of 1994, lifting a major burden from Malawi, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. In Namibia and Botswana the governments in place were returned in general elections. Only in Lesotho did the situation deteriorate, but the crisis was settled by the end of the year. The principal activities of the regional delegation in 1994 included the continuation of detention-related activities in Malawi; the promotion of international humanitarian law, particularly in Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia and Zambia; coordinating and supporting tracing work carried out by National Red Cross Societies; and helping to strengthen the capacity of National Societies in regard to emergency preparedness, information, dissemination and the development of their internal telecommunications systems. From 1 January 1995 the Harare delegation will also cover Mozambique, while Lesotho and Swaziland will be covered by the regional delegation in Pretoria.
