Extractions: University of Transkei, Umtata, South Africa Abstract This article is a critical assessment of an aspect of the apartheid political economy in the former homelands. Two arguments are advanced. First, the poverty of the informal sector was a result of lack of capital investments in towns in Transkei during the apartheid era. Furthermore, the smallness of the informal sector and the dominance of the female population in the sector is a consequence of migration of productive male labour force into the developed enclaves of South Africa. Secondly, it is argued that the nature of urbanization mirrors the economic development of the towns. With the transition to democracy, the socio-economic underdevelopment may be reversed or at least transformed. Introduction The purpose of this paper is to examine the nature and relationship of urbanization and informal parallel trading in the Transkei, former Xhosa homeland of South Africa. This relationship is measured firstly in the context of the flow and destinations of rural-urban migration in South Africa. Secondly, we shall examine the limited wage employment options in the urban centres as catalysts of the expansion of parallel or pavement trading in the towns in Transkei. Lastly, we shall investigate the socio-economic and political forces that parallel traders contend with in towns in Transkei.

Extractions: Thulamela David Bunn (University of the Western Cape) and Mark Auslander (Wesleyan University) Thulamela is an extraordinarily important site, not just because of the inherent historical interest of the reconstructed ruins themselves, but also because they epitomize an entirely new approach to heritage resources on state-owned land. With the extensive community consultation that took place in the course of the reconstruction, and the unique negotiations around the reburial of human skeletal remains found at the site, this project is justifiably celebrated as heralding a new era of open-air museum management. It is, moreover, as film crews and tour groups are discovering, just the sort of positive historical example of indigenous greatness that could be used to stimulate a "Renaissance" of regional African pride. But another equally important point to note is that here, more than anywhere else perhaps, an inherently contradictory set of propositions come together. Over the past three years of visiting Thulamela, we have noticed significant changes in the way the story of the site is told. Not unexpectedly, it has been the focus of a resurgence of Venda nationalism which claims trans-border alliances with ancestral Zimbabwe. Inevitably, this leads to overstatements about the purity of Venda origins and the impurity of other claims. For the South African state, this magnificent, rebuilt Iron Age site is also a useful symbol of "Rainbow" origins, of what Pallo Jordan referred to as the inclusive instincts of the "great family of human beings". However, these statements about historical affinities stand in sharp contrast to current state paranoia about illegal Southern African immigration. This plays itself out daily in strict border policing and bewildered refugees in the Luvuvhu bush below the ruins.

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.

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.

Extractions: Dept. of Human Genetics and Developmental Biology, University of Pretoria In South Africa the practice of medical genetics began in the 1950s. Prior to 1990, clinical genetic services were largely limited to the major cities, centered in academic medical genetic departments, with the consequences that the majority of patients seen were drawn from the urban middle and upper, mainly Caucasian, higher socio-economic population. In 1985, only 18% percent of the total 4,583 patients seen in genetic clinics throughout the country, were black South Africans, despite the fact that 74% percent of the countrys then estimated 33.6 million people were black. Thus at the beginning of the final decade of the 20th century only limited information was available about GD and BD in the black South African populations(9). In 1990, a study was initiated to evaluate the potential burden of congenital anomalies in a rural South African area. This programme was commenced as part of an effort to derive epidemiological data on GD and BD in the rural populations in the Northern Province of South Africa, and to assess the need for and provide a PHC/Community clinical genetic service. This was a collaborative effort between the Department Medical Sciences, University of the North (UNIN), the Department of Human Genetics, University of Pretoria (UP), and the Genetic Services Sub-directorate (GSS), National Department of Health, and genetic trained nursing staff at numerous selected rural hospitals of The Department of Health and Welfare, Northern Province(7).
