Extractions: Whilst tourism can improve local living standards, uncontrolled development can destabilise whole communities. Negative impacts can range from increased tension as a result of unequal benefits to crime, prostitution, begging, alcohol and drug abuse. Tourism operators should be sensitive to potential impacts, such as loss of privacy, prevention of access to culturally significant places, invasion of sacred sites or the demeaning of cultural ceremonies, which can result from tourism. By setting up genuine cooperative structures with staff and local people and involving them in planning and decision making, trust and mutual cooperation can be built. Providing support with education and health care and contributing to social infrastructure also promotes goodwill and helps to improve local quality of life, ultimately leading to mutual benefits.

Extractions: Population: This former Portuguese colony is home to over twenty million people and to the largest unreached group in Africa possibly the world! It has the largest concentration of unreached peoples in Africa south of the equator. It is also considered to be one of the poorest countries on the globe. Mozambique was a Portuguese colony for more than four hundred years before attaining independence in 1975. During those years the colonial government recognized only the Catholic Church resulting in persecution of those calling themselves "Protestant". With independence came the establishment of communism so the persecution extended to all recognized as Christians. Although the Marxist ideology of the government continued until the early 1990's, beginning in 1982, missionaries, who had been expelled at independence, were allowed to re-enter. The government recognized the need for the support of everyone possible, including the evangelical churches. Despite the fact that missionary work in the country was non-existent between 1975 and 1982, the evangelical church grew quite rapidly among the Lomwe living in Zambezi Province.

Extractions: A combined version of Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika and The Call of South Africa Die Stem van Suid-Afrika ). The Die Stem was written by CJ Langenhoven in May 1918. The music was composed by the Reverend ML de Villiers in 1921. Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika was composed in 1897 by Enoch Sontonga. The words of the first stanza were originally written in isiXhosa as a hymn. Seven additional stanzas in isiXhosa were later added by the poet Samuel Mqhayi. Contained within the shield are some of the earliest representations of humanity in the world. Those depicted were our first inhabitants, the Khoisan people. These figures are derived from images on the Linton Stone, a world-famous example of South African rock art. The motto of the Coat of Arms, written in the Khoisan language of the /Xam people, means diverse people unite or people who are different join together. National Arts Council (NAC) The main task of the NAC is to advise the Minister on arts policies for the country, in addition to distributing funds to artists and arts organisations and for bursaries. Requests for funding far exceed the available resources. However, of the R75 million received so far, only 15% (or R11,25 million) has been spent on administration, while 85% (or R63,75 million) has been disbursed as grants, over a period of four years. Given the limited funds at the NAC's disposal, it has become imperative that the organisation concentrates on projects of national significance. It encourages provincial and local arts and culture councils to provide more funding at that level.

Extractions: The origin of the indigenous livestock of South Africa According to the archeologists, South Africa was occupied solely by San hunter-gatherers before the time of Christ. These people survived by hunting game species rather than keeping domesticated livestock. The origin of the domesticated animals is thought to in the Middle East about 9 000 years ago. Sheep and goats were probably the first animals to be domesticated followed by cattle and pigs and, lastly, horses. There is evidence of further centres of domestication in the Indus valley and perhaps in the north of Africa in the Sahara region which had a considerably wetter climate at that time. Although most of the evidence of early domesticated breeds has been found by archeologists, there are early records of domesticated livestock in Egyptian paintings and carvings in temples. There is also mention of domesticated sheep in Genesis. Later rock paintings are to be found in many regions of Africa - a particularly rich inheritance can be seen in South Africa. A goat depicted on an Egyptian tomb South African rock painting of cattle A last phase of introduction began in the 16th to 17th century when European settlers brought their farm animals into the country. Many of these breeds, which included breeds of horses, donkeys and pigs, have adapted to their new environment.
Extractions: SITE MAP WILDLIFE NEWS WildNet Africa News Archive Living monument honours Shangaan culture. (22 February, 1999) The Shangaan people, famous for their wildlife tracking skills in the Kruger National Park , will be officially honoured on 24 February 1999 when a living monument to their culture is opened near Hazyview in Mpumalanga. The R3-million Shangana Cultural Village will be opened by four local Shangaan chiefs and their praise-singers, while a sangoma will bless it in a more private ceremony by slaughtering an ox. "In a world where traditional cultures are continually under threat, and in a country where the notion of an African Renaissance is given such prominence, this project is viewed with high expectations by both cultural and tourism observers," said marketing director of this venture, James Delaney. Delaney and his two partners bought 50 hectares of indigenous bush with the help of the Industrial Development Corporation to create a village in which a traditional family could live, and give tourists an authentic experience of Shangaan customs. "We want to provide an authentic experience where day visitors will be able to visit the family and learn about the Shangaan lifestyle," explained Delaney. The village will also provide a platform for over 100 entertainers from the surrounding area to dance, sing and tell traditional tales at evening festivals, while local arts and crafts will be on sale at a village market. "There's little to do in the Hazyview area at night and local tour operators have indicated that traditional theatre should go very down well," said Delaney. The village was born out of a dream of Delaney, and his partners, Canny Hlatshwayo, himself a Shangaan, and Robert More, to introduce international tourists visiting the Kruger National Park to the culture of communities living along its borders.

Or are you just dying to know how to get cool sunglasses like Peter Bechtel's? You sent us your questions and we did our best to get them answered for you and posted them below. Q: What effect does the Zimbabwe conflict concerning their wildlife poaching due to lawlessness have on Mozambique's poaching problem? Does the turmoil cross a porous border and spill into Mozambique? Also were the wild dog populations there decimated by the civil war and if not what is their status? Jim in Manassas, Va. Since the lawlessness in Zimbabwe is limited mainly to farm land, ranches and the Zambezi Valley, I do not think it has spilled over into Mozambique in a significant way if at all. As for the second part, wild dogs receive total legal protection in Mozambique. However, the outlook is not hopeful. Published reports indicate that there was a rapid decline in wild dog numbers after 1975, due to unregulated sport hunting, persecution by cattle farmers, and degradation of habitat. There are no records of disease. Wild dogs cross the border from Kruger National Park, South Africa in the south, and are also common in southern Tanzania to the north so, should conditions improve, Mozambique might be ideally placed for recolonization. The planned cross-border park envisaged joining Kruger to Mozambique will be of great benefit to wild dogs.

Extractions: ECO UPDATE The agreement to give back some of South Africa's most valuable conservation estate to people from which it was taken in the apartheid era comes at a time when the National Parks Board is confronted by a critical set of policy challenges and changes. Mavuso Msimang, Chief Executive of the Board, says the pioneering land reform agreement with the Makuleke people was devised by a special committee that has been set up inside the Board to deal with a rash of land claims in national parks. Next on the list of this committee's priorities is a plan to find a fair solution to evictions of San clans from the Kalahari Gemsbok Park in the 1950s and 1960s. "Land claims from communities who were removed from our parks will be regarded as an issue of equity and justice. We do not want to be in a situation in which we 'win' against rural communities. At the same time we have to safeguard the interests of conservation," says Msimang. "The agreement (with the Makulekes) recognises that we can only do this if we help to bring economic stability on the other side of the fence. Without this, conservation will not be sustainable. The great advantage of the agreement is that it allows both objectives to be achieved at the same time."

Extractions: The Manyeleti Game Reserve, situated in the Northern Province, between the Sabi-Sand and Timbavati private game reserves, consists of approximately 23000 Hectares. Manyeleti was proclaimed as a game reserve in 1966 and has since then been utilized as such. First as game reserve for the exclusive use of the Black People of South Africa but since the advent of the present Government it has been opened to all the peoples of South Africa. The land comprising Manyeleti was been occupied by the MNISI PEOPLE since the middle of the 19th Century. In fact they can trace their ancestral linage back to Chief Mabane who moved into this area in the 1820's. The current traditional leader of the Mnisi People is Hosi Phendulane Phillip Mnisi who succeeded to the chieftainship in 1975. When white settlers and mining companies originally moved into this area it was already occupied by the Shangaan Nation of which the Mnisi People form an integral part . The white settlers without consulting with the local community registered so-called "Grondbriewe" with the Zuid Afrikaanse Republiek under President Paul Kruger. The Black Indigenous Communities were never aware of what was happening . White man came, measured a huge tract of land and duly claimed it as his property. These so-called landowners were in fact absentee landowners and no one really knew who they were. They would occasionally visit this land not to farm but to hunt. By the time the indigenous peoples realized what went on it was too late. By this time racially based Laws had been passed in terms of which Blacks were prohibited from acquiring title or leasehold rights in land , even in instances of willing buyer and seller.
