Extractions: A Never-Ending Garden (NEG) is a proven method for the families of Africa to produce their own food in spite of the poor economy, unpredictable weather, and the escalating crisis of AIDS. Each family who elects to be a part of the NEG movement joins a community-wide organization that trains them to plant and harvest their gardens and oversees their progress twice a week throughout the year to ensure success. The NEG approach is to increase the number of plants that a family grows each season according to the degree that they are responsible. Each family begins with two mini-gardens the size of a front door and can continue to increase the number of mini-gardens every four months. Within one year, the average family will harvest five mini-gardens every season.

Extractions: Volume XXXIX No.8 2002 We have been on many long flights in our 40 years of international ministry. However, our flight to South Africa from the United States was one of our longest. Our first flight into Atlanta, was short, but our second was non-stop from Atlanta to Cape town, South Africa. It was over 8,000 miles and probably the longest commercial flight in the world. We then flew to Johannesburg where the local brethren met us. It has been a few years since we were last in South Africa. Marge and I first came to South Africa in November of 1965 where we had wonderful ministry through June of 1966. The country has changed much since those days. We believed that God would do great things on this mission and Praise God He did! No people of the world can sing like the Africans. We really knew we were back in Africa when we arrived at our first service and heard the singing. I turned to Brother Fiddler and said, "Now I know we have arrived in Africa!" We were working with Brother and Sister Bronkhorst who have been missionaries for many years.

In addition to 11 official languages and several ethnic groups, the country even has 20,00 Konkani-speaking people A safari to see the Big Five - lion, rhino, buffalo, leopard and elephant - roaming free in their natural habitat is one of South Africa's greatest attractions. There are several such parks in that country, but Mala Mala is reputed to be the top safari in the world. It is an exciting experience in the midst of the dense African bush. Quite accidentally we caught sight of a wild bull - at least a bull-like animal - casually piercing one of its horns in the trunk of a high and apparently dried tree. Water gushed out from the trunk of the tree and the bull quenched its thirst in royal style. The sound of gushing water attracted a variety of thirsty animals and birds who flocked around the tree to have their share of water. Was it a miracle? My driver, a gentleman of Indian origin, told me that the name of the tree was Baobab. It is a most unusual deciduous tree of Africa. The interior of its trunk, which may develop up to 9 metres in diameter, and the lower branches are soft and spongy and can store large quantity of water. They are leafless for most of the year, to reduce water loss. It is a slow growing tree reaching up to 18 metres in height and lives for thousands of years.

Extractions: PEOPLE Namibians are of diverse ethnic origins. The principal groups are the Ovambo, Kavango, Herero/Himba, Damara, mixed race ("colored" and Rehoboth Baster), white (Afrikaner, German, and Portuguese), Nama, Caprivian (Lozi), Bushman, and Tswana. The Ovambo make up about half of Namibia's people. The Ovambo, Kavango, and East Caprivian peoples, who occupy the relatively well-watered and wooded northern part of the country, are settled farmers and herders. Historically, these groups had little contact with the Nama, Damara, and Herero, who roamed the central part of the country vying for control of sparse pastureland. German colonial rule destroyed the warmaking ability of the tribes but did not erase their identities or traditional organization. People from the more populous north have settled throughout the country in recent decades as a result of urbanization, industrialization, and the demand for labor. The modern mining, farming, and industrial sectors of the economy, controlled by the white minority, have affected traditional African society without transforming it. Urban and migratory workers have adopted Western ways, but in rural areas, traditional society remains intact.

Extractions: Facts About South Africa Background: After the British seized the Cape of Good Hope area in 1806, many of the Dutch settlers (the Boers) trekked north to found their own republics. The discovery of diamonds (1867) and gold (1886) spurred wealth and immigration and intensified the subjugation of the native inhabitants. The Boers resisted British encroachments, but were defeated in the Boer War (1899-1902). The resulting Union of South Africa operated under a policy of apartheid - the separate development of the races. The 1990s brought an end to apartheid politically and ushered in black majority rule.

Extractions: EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED South Africa is a magnificent country blessed with extraordinary natural beauty and a rich cultural heritage. Its climate runs from temperate to sub-tropical; its landscapes range from stark desert to spectacular mountain to lush grassland and forest; its peoples can be found in rural subsistence communities or in cities as sophisticated and cosmopolitan as anywhere in the world. Situated at the southern tip of the African continent, South Africa has a land area of 1,3 million square kms (500,000 square miles), five times the size of Great Britain, and greater than California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona combined. This impressive stretch of land runs from the great Limpopo River in the north, all the way down to the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Agulhas on the southernmost coast - a distance of nearly 2 000 kms (1 240 miles). Washed by the bracing Atlantic Ocean on the west and the balmy Indian Ocean on the east, South Africa has 3 600 kms of coastline (2 236 miles), so there is no shortage of stunning beaches for lovers of sunshine and water-sports. Many visitors come to South Africa in search of its abundant wildlife, vigilantly tended in the country's plenteous game reserves and conservation areas. Africa's big cats - lion, leopard and cheetah - still prowl the ranges of their ancestors, together with gigantic elephant, rhinoceros and hippopotamus. The country is also a magnet for bird-watchers, with close to 900 species.

Extractions: The Batswana people at the celebration Botswana has an estimated population of 1.6 million (in 1999), about 60% have Tswana origin. About 75 per cent of the people of Botswana live in the eastern part of the country - in medium to large agricultural or urban settlements. The remaining 25 per cent live in the west of the country in smaller settlements. About 20 per cent of the total population lives in the four major urban areas - Gaborone Francistown Lobatse and Selebi-Phikwe BATSWANA The Tswana people are the largest group in Botswana and traditionally comprise of almost half or more of the country's total population. The three major Tswana groups were the Bakwena (who eventually came to settle on the Molepolole area), the Bangwato (who eventually came to settle the Shoshong/Palapye/ Serowe areas), and the Bangwaketse (who eventually came to settle the Kanye area). The Batswana are essentially agriculturalists with strong pastoral customs. Cattle are of extreme importance, both socially and economically. The number of cattle a man owns defines his wealth, and indicates his status and prestige. In the past, cattle were vital in the propitiation of the ancestors, the transfer of bride price and in other rituals. Today, cattle are still used as payment by a man's family to the family of his prospective wife, to compensate for the loss of one of the family (though this tradition is declining in the urban areas). Cattle also act as security against misfortune, as in times of need they can be sold or exchanged for other goods.

Yemeni Arabs Africaneers People Profile The Afrikaners Religion: Christianity, Secularism Population: 3,155,000 (1996 estimate) Status: 100% Evangelized, 99% Cultural Christians, 50% Evangelical Location: Afrikaners live in the Republic of South Africa. A few are found in farming enterprises in other southern Africa countries. During the colonial period, several hundred farmed in Kenya. Since the end of apartheid and the move to majority rule, South Africans have been active in business or import-export contacts in many African countries. History: In 1652 a small company of employees of the Dutch East India Company were settled on the southern tip of Africa in order to establish a refreshment station for the Company's ships en route to the Far East. From this group of Dutchmen the Afrikaners were to develop. From 1688 to 1700, they were joined by about 200 French Huguenots, Protestant refugees from Catholic France. Despite language and cultural differences, a shared commitment to the Reformed faith enabled these two groups to merge into one, and to this day many Afrikaans-speaking people in South Africa have surnames which can be traced back to the Huguenots. German refugees further swelled their numbers. For more than a hundred years after the first settlement, the Dutch Reformed Church was the only legally permitted and established church on South African soil. In time, groups of settlers moved away from the Cape settlement into the hinterland to develop farms there. The indigenous people of the Cape at that time were the Khoikhoi people, many of whom worked as laborers on the farms of the Dutch-speaking settlers. The Dutch government forbade enslaving indigenous people of southern Africa. They did allow the importation of slaves or indentured servants from the Malay peoples of Indonesia and Malaysia. The first Malay slaves arrived in 1657. Others slaves were imported from West Africa.
