Musokotwane Environment Resource Centre for Southern Africa I M E R C S A Factsheet 9: Indigenous Knowledge Systems Factsheet No#9: Indigenous Knowledge Systems The traditional history of southern African societies is manifested in the hills, mountains, valleys, burial grounds and in specific sacred and historical sites. Quite often outsiders do not recognise the importance of such sites and superimpose different values on the local people. It is believed that people's contact with nature has never been direct, it has always been mediated through knowledge structures. Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) refers to a body of knowledge and beliefs built by a group of people, and handed down generations through oral tradition, about the relationship between living beings and their environment. It includes a system of organisation, a set of empirical observations about the local environment, and a system of self-management that governs resource use. Most IKS are oral-based and often revealed through stories and legends. It is therefore, difficult to transmit ideas and concepts to those who do not share the language, tradition and cultural experience. Hence when a language is threatened or diminished in importance, there is a direct impact on the ability to express knowledge acquired through generations of experience.

Global Perspectives on Human Language: The South African Context Language Systems in South Africa and Their Parallels to the Linguistic Struggle of Blacks in the U.S. Additional Links Tracy Conner Updated 9-19-2004 South Africa is a country where the fierce hold of apartheid is a decade removed and economic success is still sharply divided among color lines. Nevertheless, some of the most progressive policies dealing with language have been constructed. Under the National Language Policy Framework (NLPF) organized in 2003, higher salience was placed on languages other than those of previous European colonizers. Although the expanded policy ideally should have evened the racial playing field, it has actually continued racial and economic stratification through the subtleties of language. Before 2003, the language policy in South Africa allowed only for two official languages, Afrikaans and English, meaning these were the only languages of instruction. Today English is considered to be the language of upward mobility, and Afrikaans is the language of instruction in many schools, while the mother tongues of much of the population are the indigenous languages of Southern Africa. Before legislation expanding the official languages was passed, the masses who had been labeled inferior during apartheid were now "free" to speak an "inferior" language under that system. The NLPF passed this new policy to equalize languages within society. However, one must keep in mind that "[i]t is not language per se, but its power to function as a 'proxy' for wider social issues which fans the flames over public disputes over language," (Johnson, 599). For this reason, the linguistic differences that led to hardship in this country in some ways parallel similar language issues in the Black community of the US. By comparing and contrasting these language issues, it may be possible to realize a common goal, and continue to move forward address existing linguistic inequalities.

General Essay on the Religions of Sub-Saharan Africa Religion in Sub-Saharan Africa has changed and evolved over the last two to three thousand years in many different ways. While the traditions depicted in this chart provide examples of those that exist today, and that were affected by the expansion of European colonialism in the 19th century, peoples living in the vast area south of the Sahara desert had already sustained rich systems of belief and practice long before the arrival of Christianity and colonialism, and certainly in some cases befroe the Muslim expansion from the Arabian peninsula. Islam entered Sub-Saharan Africa in the eighth century, and within six hundred years of the prophet's death had penetrated from the Sahara to the Sudanic belt, and from the Atlantic to the Red Sea, making its presence felt among the indigenous peoples who inhabited this expanse. Other transplanted religions have had virtually no impact upon Sub-Saharan traditions. With the exception of Judaism, these did not make any permanent incursion into the region until the 19th or 20th centuries. The chart suggests three wide areas of religious beliefs and practices: (I) Indigenous African religions; (II) World Religions (Baha'i, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Sikhism and Zorastrianism); (III) New Religious Traditions (African Independent Churches).

Botswana and Nationalism For today, you have read several short chapters on Botswana. This should give you some background on the country and give us some idea about how to discuss the issue here. Notice Botswana is atypical of African countries for several reasons: The national language, setswana, is the language of the eight major tribes; for the most part (with the Kalanga exception discussed below) language has not provided a point of serious contention. Additionally, English is the language of middle school and secondary education. The eight major tribes all had been separate polities before colonial rule; they had a history, however, of a common lineage and minimal conflict before that time. The tribes initially sought some advantages in colonial rule, were allowed to maintain certain forms of indigenous government, and for the most part, were able to avoid many of the worst aspects of colonial rule. The discovery of diamonds after independence allowed for economic development of the country and autonomy from the worst aspects of neocolonialism. Botswana has maintained a multiparty democracy with open and free elections and respect for a wide variety of civil liberties, although it is not perfect in these respects.

Anyone who travels over the vast expanse of South Africa is immediately struck by the great variations in its landscape and the differing contexts and conditions under which Black rural people live... By the 1860s, subjugation of African people in the immediate vicinity of the Cape had been achieved... II. The Roots of Segregation: 1860 to 1910 By the 1860s, subjugation of African people in the immediate vicinity of the Cape had been achieved. Other than a small, enfranchised minority who owned land, the majority of Africans living here had been proletarianised and were reduced to the status of labour. This labour was kept subservient through legislation and force, or the threat of such. peasants living on small, marginal pieces of land could maintain an independent existence. In the words of the Civil Commissioner for Bedford: (Bundy, C. (1988). The Rise and Fall of South African Peasantry (2nd Ed), Cape Town: David Phillip, p.56.) As was to happen later in the interior, the impact of the colonial economy soon gave rise to increasing social stratification amongst the Black peasantry as those who were able to take advantage of the new opportunities and technologies participated actively in the colonial cash economy. Evidence suggests that they were so successful that they outstripped the productive capacity of most of the Boer farmers. In the words of Mr Hemming: (Bundy, C. (1988). The Rise and Fall of South African Peasantry (2nd Ed), Cape Town: David Phillip, p.65.)

SOUTH AFRICA: The Transition Continues by Wayne D. Toombs Overview The Republic of South Africa, a nation slightly less than twice the size of the state of Texas (1,219,912 square kilometers, is located at the southern tip of the continent of Africa. South Africa has nearly 4,900 kilometers of international boundaries that separate it from Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland and Zimbabwe, while completely surrounding Lesotho. In addition, the 2,881-kilometer coastline, which borders the Atlantic Ocean on the west and the Indian Ocean on the south and east, is fairly regular and has few natural harbors. The country is divided into nine provinces; Eastern Cape, Free State, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, North-West, Northern Cape, Northern Province, Western Cape. The capital city is Pretoria, Cape Town is the legislative center and Bloemfontein the judicial center. South Africa’s population is 43,586,097 (census was taken in October 1996). The population’s racial make-up is 75.2% black, 13.6% white, 8.6% Colored and 2.6% Indian. South Africans represent a rich array of ethnic backgrounds but the idea of ethnicity became highly explosive during the apartheid era, when the government used it for political and racial purposes. Government officials imposed fairly rigid ethnic or tribal categories on a fluid social reality, giving each black African tribal label, or identity, within a single racial classification. Apartheid doctrines taught that each black population would eventually achieve maturity as a nation, just as the Afrikaner (white) people, in their view, had done.

Having bought up 19 farms he has created a game reserve of over 50,000 hectares (50km top to bottom and 20km across). Situated in the Little Karoo region along Route 62, the reserve spans a vast range of mountains, plains and includes not only a hugely diverse range of flora and fauna but rock formations and ancient tribal rock art over 3500 years old. The name of the reserve is taken from the indigenous "San" people who roamed the area for thousands of years and "Bona" meaning vision. If you are on a quick mission to see the big five and tick off boxes in your I spy wild animals book, this may not be your reserve. If however you are interested in learning how the indigenous people and bush rangers used the plants for everything from a cure to stomach ache to a toothbrush, or in seeing a huge range of birds and wildlife this could be the one for you. Rangers take you in open-topped land rovers for early morning or sunset drives, where the spectacular scenery and colours fantastically invigorate all the senses. There are over 160 species of bird including five breeding pairs of majestic Black Eagles and many raptors. The lake enclosed by a damn provides home to three hippotomas and you'll find herds of elephant, two prides of lions, rhinos and cheetahs as well as a variety of bok, zebra and kudu.

This is the facilitation of a paradigm shift by the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) in enhancing its service as a public broadcaster. Let me also use this opportunity to welcome you to the Northern Cape, and formally congratulate you as new board members and the SABC Management. We applaude you for holding this forum, to seek public opinions on the SABC. We believe that forums like these are inextricably linked to the enforcement of democracy. They stand out as a catalyst of nation building that is underpinned by democratic ethos. Therefore, as members of the board, you deserve a pat on the back for using this forum as an instrument that would enhance national dialogue. We certainly believe that in soliciting the views of the general public, your ultimate goal of enabling all citizens to participate in the democratic political system would be achieved. Therefore concerns raised here and in other forums should meaningfully enhance your obligation towards the public.

Advertisements Your Ad Here Your Ad Here Your Ad Here Your Ad Here Advertisements It's the middle of the month, and nearly all of the residents of New Xade, a dusty resettlement camp on the edge of Botswana's Central Kalahari Game Reserve, are lining up in the muggy heat. Today is food-aid day, and sacks of cornmeal are being tossed from a government truck parked near a mound of dirty cabbage. A wizened woman shuffles forward, leading her blind husband behind her by a thin stick. In the reserve she might have foraged for wild sweet potatoes, but here she has no choice but to wait for their rations the edible plants she knows don't grow here. Nor is there any game to hunt, which perhaps explains why a scrum of men sits sullenly in the shade out front of a bar, building a pile of empty Castle Lager cans. The 1,500 residents of New Xade represent many of the remaining Bushmen of the Central Kalahari. In 2002, in a move that Botswana's government trumpeted as bringing the Bushmen into the modern age and that international observers decried as a grab for diamonds, these villagers were rounded up from their ancestral homes and relocated stick huts and all into three camps like this one. The relative isolation that had kept them safe from the AIDS pandemic is now only a memory. "Here we are burying people week by week or daily,” says Roy Sesana, head of the advocacy group First People of the Kalahari (FPK). "We can't call that development.”
