This article reports on a limited survey of South African students. The survey found that students understand the need for community development but would not opt to practise community development if given a choice. Most of the reasons given centre on attitude. The article offers recommendations for curriculum development aimed at...

The paper provides an overview of the socio-economic and political situation in Botswana arguing that in spite of being a liberal democracy, the planning and implementation of...

Since the colonial era, Africa, with South Africa included, has suffered alienation. With strangers imposing their cultures, languages, ideologies et cetera on the continent, Africa became a stranger, ironically on its own territory. As could be expected, this was not Africa's own making: the West, particularly Europe in the case of South Africa, has basically everything to do with this alienation. The colonial enterprise therefore, did much harm to African peoples in terms of identity. As...

Travel is often assumed to be an ideal way of changing how the ``other'' is perceived, but most research on travelers shows only how the traveler is changed. This article is a rare contribution to discussions of what travelers can learn about their destinations. Africa tends to be imagined...

It has been identified that, long-term climatic changes (Pleistocene ice ages) have been caused by periodic changes in the distribution of incoming solar radiation due to the variations in the earth’s orbital geometry, that is the tilt, precision of equinoxes and eccentricity which take place with periodicity ranging from 41 to 9508 thousand years. However, it has been considered that the major potential mechanism of climate change over the next few hundred years will be anthropogenic green...

The enhanced greenhouse gas effect is expected to cause high temperature increase globally (1–3.5 °C) and this will lead to an increase in precipitation in some regions while other regions will experience reduced precipitation (±20%). The impact of expected climate change will affect almost all the sectors of the human endeavor. However, the major purpose of this paper is to evaluate the impact of climate change on hydrology and water resources for Swaziland. The impact of climate change on...

Based on the premise that children in the 21st century face numerous problems that affect their educational, social, psychological, and physical well-being, this article argues that social workers are needed in Botswana schools to help students deal with the psychosocial problems that hinder effective learning. Such problems include truancy and school drop-outs, divorce, H1V/A1DS, poverty, child abuse, substance abuse, low-selfesteem, teenage pregnancy, sexual harassment and lack of support...

The arid winter rainfall area of South Africa is a centre of bee diversity and endemism. Host plant synchrony is hypothesized as one possible mechanism for an elevated rate of speciation in desert bees, where rainfall is considered to initiate for the emergence especially of oligolectic (pollen specialist) bees. In Namaqualand in 2003, a drought year, the absence of early precipitation postponed the main flowering season by five weeks to early/mid September. Despite the lack of rain and...
