The research and conservation of Giant Sable antelope in the Malange Province and eco-tourism development
The Kissama Foundation proposes to do a further field survey of about two weeks in the Cangandala National Park during August of 2003. This survey will involve para-motors and/or microlight aircraft. The purpose of these surveys would be to establish the distribution range and numbers of Giant Sable in the region. It is further proposed to base a full-time graduate researcher from the University of Pretoria in the study area to work together with a graduate student from the Agostinho Neto University. A proposal to this effect has already been forwarded to Dr Serodio at the Agostinho Neto University. Although outside funding will be made available for the above projects, some logistical support will be sourced in Angola. There are also proposals to start with an eco-tourism lodge in the Malange Province. Below is a report by Dr BJ Mincher, published in the United States of America in November of 2002 concerning the above project. Wide and positive reports concerning conservation by the Kissama Foundation and in particular the Giant Sable antelope has appeared internationally in a number of newspapers, radio broadcasts and television news. This, as well as Operation Noah’s Ark, is creating wide and positive publicity for the Republic of Angola and will certainly lead to the international community viewing this country positively in terms of foreign investment and tourism.

1787 British settlers bought land from tribal leaders and used it as a haven for freed African slaves. The settlers intermarried but held themselves aloof, monopolized power and discriminated against the original population.

(HN, 6/28/99) 1839 The slave ship Amistad mutinied. 53 African slaves were captured in what is now Sierra Leone and were being carried on a Spanish ship to Cuba. 43 surviving slaves killed the captain and ordered the crew back to Africa but the ship sailed north and ran aground on Long Island. A legal battle ensued in New London, Conn., that went to the Supreme court where former Pres. John Quincy Adams argued for their freedom and won. An 1855 novella by Herman Melville, "Benito Cereno" looked at the rebellion through the eyes of an American interloper. Barbara Chase-Ribaud later wrote "Echo of Lions," a novel based on the Amistad. In 1996 Steven Spielberg announced plans to direct a film based on the incident titled "Amistad." The film was to be released in 1997. A 1997 opera production, "Amistad," by Anthony Davis premiered in Chicago.

New Architectural Association of Kenya boss vows to inject vigour into association Taking architecture as a new style of life Tanzania's Anthony Almeida Architect Limited, is not only the oldest such practice in Tanzania but offers a whole spectrum of corporate architectural designs as related by Construction Review's Emmanuel Onyango. The construction industry is a field that keeps on changing with every passing day. Every change brings along the demand for a corresponding adjustment brought about by the increasingly large and more complex building projects required to be completed in the shortest time possible. Anthony Almeida Architects Limited, the oldest in the history of the architectural work in Tanzania, was established in early 1950s with the objective of promoting the art of architecture in the country.

"Collective Unconscious" or "Meta Unconscious" The intent of this essay is to attempt to explain the appearance of Eastern or Hindu words, such as Krishna and Shiva, in the speech reversals of African, Afro American, and Australian Aboriginal people. I will explore Carl Jung's theory of the collective unconscious as a possible explanation and then put forward another model based on an application of the concepts of oral tradition and oral diffusion. This alternative model I have termed the "Meta Unconscious."
Hindu words regularly appear in the Reverse Speech of African, Afro American and Australian Aboriginal people. Occasionally this appearance has a religious purpose, but in most cases they are used in a unique and non - religious manner. Oddly these words are identified with the people themselves, in that Krishna and Shiva are used as substitute words for Aboriginal or African or black. They operate then as synonyms for the names of the peoples already mentioned. For this reason I termed these reversals, "Identity Metaphors."

    —Luis Palés Matos During the second decade of the twentieth century, a bold new sound was heard in the Caribbean, in Cuba and Puerto Rico. It was a new kind of poetry. It was a musical poetry, a poema-son. It borrowed the beat of the drums from the bomba in Puerto Rico and the son in Cuba. The poets used poetic devices such as onomotopoeia, repetition, rhythm, and rhyme to create a forceful, evocative, and at times playful language. They wrote in the language of the poeple, of the street; (1) they used African words; (2) they used musical, invented words. (3) The result was a lush sound, plaintive yet joyful. The poetry was sensual, rhythmic, and percussive. As you listened, you could hear the Yoruba drums or tambores

    IT is said that BUNZI the South wind brought NSACI and XIMBUKA with him. While both these are the names of BAKICI BANKONDI, or "household gods," they are also the words used for thunder and lightning. NSACI (or NZACI), Antonio Lavadeiro told me some years ago, on one occasion sent his 24 dogs and they killed one of his companions and burnt a palm tree ( Folklore of the Fjort , page 72.) At the time I wondered why there should have been 24 dogs, but now I feel assured that these dogs simply represented the 24 parts or pairs of intermediate nerves, which the natives attribute to the trunk of his body. There is no longer any doubt in my mind that this constantly recurring 6 by 4 is part of the system of native philosophy. Thus they believe there are three pairs of nerves and a fourth as the cause, six sets of four pairs as that which goes between, and one and three pairs as the effect. Which counting the joining fourth of the causative set and the joining one of the effective set as one pair would make up the 31 pairs of nerves in the human body, according to the native. Putting all this on one side for the moment let me tell you what I know of their omens, which are so nearly connected with their nervous system.

    Monuments as symbols of remembrance
    and peace in the process of reconciliation
    by Lazarus Kgalema Research paper written for the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation, October 1999. Lazarus Kgalema is a former Researcher at the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation.
    Introduction
    Methodology
    This report relies mainly on information from interviews conducted with stake holders and community leaders involved in constructing monuments. Fifteen interviews were conducted between October 1998 and May 1999. The leaders interviewed during the research were leaders of local political parties who participated in the committees of the monuments, and non-political community leaders who also took part in the processes. Members of local government were also interviewed to survey how they contributed in the projects. Due to resource constraints, the research focused on urban townships in the Gauteng Province. Despite not being national the variations within these townships alone provided for a range of case studies of different types of monuments and different community contexts. The Thokoza monument was evaluated in greater depth than the other projects, as it was unique in its scope, the level of community participation and it encapsulated key dynamics.

    AFRICA
    AFRICA , the name of a continent representing the largest of the three great southward projections from the main mass of the earth's surface. It includes within its remarkably regular outline an area, according to the most recent computations, of 11,262,000 sq. m., excluding the islands.1 Separated from Europe by the Mediterranean Sea, it is joined to Asia at its N.E. extremity by the Isthmus of Suez, 80 m. wide. From the most northerly point, Ras ben Sakka, a little west of Cape Blanc, in 37 21' N., to the most southerly point, Cape Agulhas, 34 51' 15" S., is a distance approximately of 5000 m.; from Cape Verde, 17 33' 22" W., the westernmost point, to Ras Hafun, 51 27' 52" E., the most easterly projection, is a distance (also approximately) of 4600 m. The length of coast-line is 16,100 m. and the absence of deep indentations of the shore is shown by the fact that Europe, which covers only 3,760,000 sq. m., has a coast-line of 19,800 m. I. PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY The main structural lines of the continent show both the east-to-west direction characteristic, at least in the eastern hemisphere, of the more northern parts of the world, and the north-to-south direction seen in the southern peninsulas. Africa is thus composed of two segments at right angles, the northern running from east to west, the southern from north to south, the subordinate lines corresponding in the main to these two directions.
