Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Until 1991, South African law divided the population into four major racial categories: blacks (African), whites, coloreds, and Asians. Although this law has been abolished, many South Africans still view themselves and each other according to these categories. These categories are also retained for the purposes of affirmative action . Africans comprise about 78% of the population and are divided into a number of different ethnic groups. Whites comprise about 10% of the population. They are primarily descendants of Dutch, French, English, and German settlers who began arriving at the Cape in the late 17th century. Coloreds are mixed-race people primarily descending from the earliest settlers and the indigenous peoples. They comprise about 9% of the total population. Most Asians descend from Indian workers brought to South Africa in the mid-19th century to work on the sugar estates in Natal. The rest are descendents of Indian traders who moved to South Africa. They constitute about 3% of the population and are concentrated in the KwaZulu-Natal Province. Education is in a state of flux. Under the apartheid system schools were segregated, and the quantity and quality of education varied significantly across racial groups. Although the laws governing this segregation have been abolished, the long and arduous process of restructuring the country's educational system is just beginning. The challenge is to create a single nondiscriminatory, nonracial system that offers the same standards of education to all people.

Extractions: 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).

Extractions: SITUATION REPORT: THE SAN: SOUTHERN AFRICA'S FORGOTTEN PEOPLE (Booker, Christopher. Sunday Telegraph; 24/02/2002 :P14) . To make things worse on 18 February 2002, it was reported that the Botswana officials had turned off essential water supplies to the San. According to the government, this became necessary because government sanctioned cattle ranching has lowered the water table, depriving the San of natural water. The government, in its defence, claims that the relocation of the San from the CKGR is essential for them to have access to sustainable state services such as health care and formal education. This is because the government insists that it cannot currently afford to provide water and other services to the San communities in the reserve even though it costs only US$3 per person per week. The position taken by the government of Botswana seems even more baffling if one considers the fact that it turned down an offer by the European Union (EU) to cover the cost of keeping the San in the CKGR. This offer was to form part of CKGR Management Plan that was signed by the Botswana government and the EU in 1996. One of the key provisions of this agreement was that the water supply to the San would not be turned of. It was on the basis of this assurance that the EU agreed to continue its long-standing support to conservation and management of wildlife resources in Botswana. The most important provision of this agreement (relating to the provision of services to San communities) would be rendered meaningless if through the cutting off of services these communities ceased to exist. As a result, the continued funding of this project by the EU stands in the balance.

Extractions: Royalty.nu World Royalty Africa > Botswana > Botswana News Books About Botswana Search The Republic of Botswana is located in southern Africa. A landlocked country, it is surrounded by Namibia, South Africa , Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The name Botswana means "Land of the Tswana," referring to the Tswana people, who make up more than three-quarters of Botswana's population of around 1.5 million. Botswana's official language is English, but its national language spoken by most people in Botswana is the Tswana language, Setswana. Botswana's government includes an advisory House of Chiefs with 15 members, eight of whom are the paramount chiefs of Botswana's eight officially recognized Tswana tribes. Four so-called sub-chiefs are elected to the House of Chiefs, and the House's remaining three members are chosen by the other 12 chiefs. The San people (also called Bushmen) and the Khoi people have lived in Botswana for thousands of years, although they are now minorities. Over the centuries, other people migrated to the area and powerful chiefdoms arose. In the early 19th century, the aggressive expansion of the Zulu nation (in today's South Africa) under legendary leader Shaka Zulu, along with the encroachment of Europeans, led to widespread migration and warfare in southern Africa. This period of upheaval is known as the Mfecane or Difaqane, meaning "the crushing." During the Mfecane, the Tswana peoples were forced to abandon their settlements in southern Botswana. They took refuge in the Kalahari Desert. Eventually they were able to leave the desert and re-establish their kingdoms. Starting in the 1840s, however, they faced another threat in the form of the Boers (South Africans of Dutch descent), who repeatedly attacked the Tswanas, trying to take over their territory.

With its looming sand dunes, barren mountains, stark coastline, and diverse wildlife gathered around the country's few permanent sources of water, Namibia's wilds can be explored with remarkable ease, due to the country's comparatively well-developed infrastructure. The overriding physical characteristic of the country is the vast Namib Naukluft desert. This is Africa's largest conserved wilderness, encompassing dunes, plains, canyons and mountains. Although seemingly desolate, the desert is rich in wildlife: hundreds of endemic species of birds and mammals gather around the rare waters. The country is best visited during the dry winter, which runs from May to October. Temperatures vary wildly throughout the country. The coast is generally from 15 - 25 C throughout the year, although fog makes mornings and evenings quite chilly. The north of the country, where
