Abstract:

Proverbs are part of people’s language, and the oral culture in particular. According to different definitions seen within the academic discourse, proverbs are sayings or expressions that teach some manners that are acceptable within a society. Proverbs teach these manners by guiding, rebuking, warning and admonishing the unwanted behaviours. Setswana proverbs are still used and enjoyed by some of the native Batswana, but it is evident from the rate of usage that they are no longer used frequently and efficiently as one would expect. It seems however, that elders who participate in kgotla sitt

Abstract:

In ‘Freedom of expression and traditional communities: who can speak and when?’ the author juxtaposes the constitutional right to freedom of expression with respect for customary law against the backdrop of the Constitutional Court’s vjudgment in Pilane v Pilane 2013 4 BCLR 431 (CC). In his article the author argues that the Constitutional Court should have developed the customary law around the Kgotha kgothe (general traditional meeting) custom which is pivotal to the exercise of the right to freedom of expression, association, and assembly within traditional communities

Abstract:

Although formal channels of communication exist for conveying early warning scientific weather messages, it is widely believed that small-scale farmers continue to utilize traditional practices in obtaining weather information. This study identifies and assesses the factors which influence the uptake of scientific early warning weather information by small farmers in the Okavango Delta, Botswana. A descriptive-analytical design was used to study 90 farmers in Kareng and Bodibeng communities situated within the delta basin. A multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select the sample from an

Abstract:

In packed low-moisture foods such as crackers, oxidation is generally the main cause of quality depletion during storage. It is commonly believed, but scarcely investigated, that product shelf life depends on the oxidative status of the lipid ingredients. In this study, the influence of oxidation degree of the ingredient sunflower oil on cracker oxidative stability and hence shelf life was investigated. To this aim, oil with increasing peroxide values (PVs) (5, 11, and 25 mEqO2/kgoil) was used to prepare crackers. Just after production, crackers presented similar peroxide and rancid odor inten

Abstract:

When the origin and the development of the Sepedi literature is looked into, it emerged that the main effort was made by the missionaries. The Berlin Lutheran Church will never be forgotten for the contribution they made. They were the first people to convert Sepedi to a written language and laid ground for creative writings that followed. Before the year 1935, the literature books that were there were religious books written by missionaries. By so saying, 1935 was the year in which modern literature started. Most creative books appeared after that year. The main question now is, after 1935,

Abstract:

The provision of consular services is an obligation of every government to its citizens who are living abroad. In providing such services, efforts must be made to ensure that they are accessible to all citizens, wherever they may be. Under the current economic climate, maintaining an extensive network of embassies and consulates around the world is an expensive venture. It is against this background that governments must be innovative in providing services by ensuring that private and third sector organizations are involved, in order to complement their work of ensuring that consular services

The aim of this investigation is to examine and discuss the growth and development of the Sepedi drama. With the aim in mind, both written (stage) dramas and radio dramas that were broadcast and appeared in book form at a later stage were taken into account. Traditional rituals that are regarded as dramas by some researchers also received attention. A comparison of these various works shows (a) how the way of life and cultural views of the Bapedi have changed due to adaptation to changing circumstances, (b) how the authorship of the authors has developed and (c) which tendencies are present in

Abstract:

The available sources on the dependency action in South Africa do not mention the presence or absence of traditional values. This study was prompted by a simple curiosity to discover the traditional legal values of the dependency action for loss of support. Accordingly, the study critically examines the action of dependants for loss of support and other related losses in South Africa, Botswana and Lesotho from an African perspective. It then compares this to its application in Australia, a country that is known for its recognition and inclusion of indigenous Australian customary law. The study

Abstract:

The chapter illustrates the application of Ubuntu to governance through a democratic system called “Kgotla.” The chapter places and defines Ubuntu as a unique African philosophy and worldview. The author explains how it is utilized in the Kgotla system of Botswana. The chapter describes how the African way of life embodied in Ubuntu at the Kgotla is based on collectiveness or communalism, cooperation, and joint resolution of conflicts and restorative justice among the villagers. The chapter reports that Kgotla system has now been incorporated as a business model in industry using the traditional knowledge of Ubuntu.

Abstract:

The temperature is approaching +38°C, and the highway between Botswana’s capital Gaborone and Francistown stretches out ahead in a straight line, heading north-east. It is the peak of the hot season, and here on the verge of the Kalahari Desert a dusty yellowish hue should colour the landscape, but instead rains have made everything a vibrant green. We stop and see hundreds of identical butterflies assembled in a small mud pool, and back on the well-paved and smooth road we are constantly vigilant to avoid the occasional cow, goat, or donkey feasting on the green grass beside the highway. At the big coal mine and power station in Palapye we turn left from the main road, and after another hour we pass a big modern shopping centre and then, without really noticing, we have entered Serowe, considered by some to be the largest traditional village in Africa—a settlement with a population of 90,000 or so spread out in mostly one- or two-storey houses in a very distinctive un-city-like manner. We see signs directing us to the museum, that we don’t find, and the kgotla, that we do. This large, very tidy, open space, surrounded by majestic trees and a wall at hip-height, is still the meeting place of the Bamangwato tribal councils (the word kgotla means ‘court’ in Setswana), but today it is completely deserted. But let’s now move back to 23 June 1949, when the situation was very different. Serowe, then the largest urban centre in the British Bechuanaland Protectorate, had just seen a massive invasion of South African and British journalists, in addition to the hundreds of tribesmen gathered in the kgotla. It was not as hot, as it was winter, but at that time this really was a remote place. There was not a metre of paved road in the Protectorate, the country was poor and austere, and the British preferred to conduct their fairly relaxed administration from the more comfortable Mafeking in the Union of South Africa.

Abstract:

This chapter discusses how Ubuntu is manifested through democracy within the Tswana traditional society. It contends that democracy in the Tswana traditional society was not a new concept. From time immemorial, Batswana have practiced a unique form of democracy that was based on the Tswana cultures. This hybrid form of democracy though different from liberal democracy as understood today has served the Batswana over the years. The kgotla as a community forum continues to be the focal point for exemplifying the relationship between democracy and Ubuntu. It further suggests that the way democracy is taught in schools should be aligned to how it is practiced in the society.

Abstract:

This chapter interrogates the concept of Ubuntu as understood within both the African and Botswana contexts. It has been argued that Ubuntu is also a philosophical thought system and is valued for its instrumental contribution to judgement and decision making. Issues surrounding the concept of Ubuntu are discussed along with how youths in Botswana are affected by the modernization paradigm, globalization, and its accompanying agents. Some of the tenets of Ubuntu are discussed with reference to the kgotla, religiosity, and culture and how these have over time been used to inculcate Ubuntu among the youths in Botswana. Challenges faced by the youth in practicing Ubuntu are discussed in order to underscore some of the deficiencies observed within the Botswana society and their impact among the youth. To further show the significance of Ubuntu among the youth, a number of strategies are suggested on how to infuse Ubuntu into the school curriculum.
