Abstract:

For centuries, nontimber forest products have been key aspects of household diets throughout the world. In southern Africa, mopane worms are widely harvested for household consumption and traded for income generation. This study investigated the contribution of mopane worm harvesting to rural livelihoods, and the effects of environmental change on mopane worm harvesting in rural households in order to understand how households attain sustainable livelihoods under different tenure types in rural areas in Limpopo Province, South Africa. Specific objectives were to determine the current significa

Abstract:

Thesis (M.A. (Psychology)) --Universtity of Limpopo, 2013<br>South African nursing environments are defined by extensive workloads, heightened stress levels, long working hours, reduced productivity and lack of support from supervisors. Nurses working with HIV/AIDS patients are further challenged with being exposed to death and dying patients, the stigma attached to the disease and fear of infection. These workplace characteristics lead to experiences of imbalanced work and family responsibilities which lead to W-F and F-W conflicts. The aim of this study was to explore W-F and F-W conflicts a

Abstract:

In 1997 the democratic government of South Africa adopted the White Paper for Social Welfare (Republic of South Africa [RSA], 1997) which committed the country to a developmental approach to social welfare. The implementation of the developmental approach to social services is a shared responsibility of the state, non-governmental organisations and the private sector (Patel, 2015:93). Despite the ongoing studies relating to developmental social welfare service delivery, there is insufficient evidence of the shift made towards a developmental approach by government social workers employed by th

Abstract:

M.Sc.<br>Imbrasia belina is a well-utilised natural resource in southern Africa. This resource can only be utilised sustainably after a thorough study of its ecology, breeding system and its genetic structures are assessed. The implementing of breeding programmes should be evaluated with well-defined management and conservation controls and regulations. The purpose of this study was to establish the amount of genetic variation and gene flow in two wild populations and the staggered generations of I. be/ina, and to determine which developmental stage should be used for further studies.

Full text

Abstract:

Mopane (Colophospermum mopane) trees are browsed upon by two key species, namely mopane caterpillars (Imbrasia belina) and African elephants (Loxodonta africana), which each inflict a different type of damage while feeding, namely defoliation (leaf removal) and pruning (branch and/or stem breakage). Damage type can have a significant influence on plant responses, and these induced changes in morphological and chemical characteristics of regrowth can influence the subsequent feeding behaviour by each species. The objective of this study was therefore partly to investigate the differential effec

Abstract:

The main objective of this study is to examine the potential contribution of households’ involvement in mopane worm activities (harvesting, commercialisation and consumption) to households’ food security in the Mopani District of the Limpopo Province. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire from a stratified sample of 120 households, 60 of which are mopane worm harvesters. The Binary Logit Model was used to determine households’ socio-economic factors affecting participation in mopane worm harvesting. The results revealed that gender of the household head, age of the respondent, ho

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to investigate the evolution and impacts of mopane worm harvesting in central Botswana. Commercialisation of mopane worms has increased over the years and it is allegedly due to an ever-increasing demand both locally and regionally. Harvesters in some areas of southern Africa have employed new harvesting practices that quicken the harvesting process. Based on perceptions of the harvesters, the study assesses how harvesters in central Botswana have responded to the demand and how this response has impacted harvesting outputs. In order to assess motivations for ha

Abstract:

MSc (Zoology)<br>Department of Zoology<br>Mopane worm (Gonimbrasia belina Westwood) is an indigenous edible insect that periodically has population eruptions in Mopane tree (Colosphermum mopane) dominated vegetation. This insect is a valuable source of food and has become an economic commodity for commercial harvesters. Despite its importance, little is known of the population dynamics of mopane worm. Considerable attention has been paid to the nutritional and social dimensions of mopane worm consumption. However, anecdotal evidence suggests there is a decline in the spatial extent of their di
