Home About Artists Knowledge ... Ijaba Films 15 Nov 2001 Morocco Morocco is the tantalising lower lip on the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea, a Muslim land so rich in mystique it seems to hover like a magic carpet somewhere between myth and reality. Tangier, Casablanca, Marrakesh...just the names of these cities and towns should stir a hint of spice in the nostrils of the most geographically challenged. Many Moroccan destinations have been mythologised, and for good reason, but the more jaded traveller may well moan about the extinction of the 'real' Morocco. Still others will extol the country's unique living history, its shimmering light, its art. The truth lies somewhere in between. Morocco is the ideal starting point for the traveller to Africa. An easy hop from Europe, it can be a friendly, hectic and stimulating place to get around in. Open-air markets throughout the country are piled high with rugs, woodwork, and jewellery. The country's prime produce (if you don't count the hashish) is leather - said to be the softest in the world. Full country name: Kingdom of Morocco Area: 447,000 sq km

Ross ABSTRACT African theologies that relate Christian faith to traditional culture have not really influenced the life of African churches. This is because these theologies have often ignored the concrete circumstances of the believing communities. The history of Chris tian communities in Africa could be used as a source for doing theology. The author uses four 'moments of truth' in the life of the Blantyre Synod of the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP), to show how the ecclesiology of this Malawian church developed through its response to these crises. The crises are 1) the imposition of colonial rule in the 1890s; 2) the Chilembwe Rising of 1915; 3) the formation of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland in the 1950s; and 4) the breaking of the Banda dictatorship in the 1990s. This offers African theologians much promising material for 'drinking from their own wells' in theological construction. INTRODUCTION Doing theology in Africa has been, for the last generation, predominantly a matter of relating Christian faith and traditional culture. The premise has been that African Christian identity will be secured only when the faith is interpreted in terms of traditional cultural categories. The task to which academic theo logians have applied themselves has been, accordingly, to show how the message of Jesus Christ has resonance within the categories of a traditional African worldview. A formidable body of scholarship has been built up as theologians in different parts of the continent have sought to fulfil this task.

Information about Malawi After 30 years of an oppressive one man one party rule of the Malawi Congress Party under the leadership of President Hastings Kamuzu Banda, Malawi ushered into power, after multi-party parliamentary and presidential elections a new government of Bakili Muluzi of the United Democratic Party (UDF) on May 17, 1994. The autocratic president, ruled Malawi as a personal fiefdom, and its people experienced dreadful human rights abuses ranging from "detention without trial, disappearances, torture in custody, judicial interference, punitive confiscation of property, sexual and work-related exploitation of women, dismissal from work and complete controls of freedom of expression and religion." The human rights abuses of the Banda regime touched every family, village, area, district and region of the country. The multi-party elections of May 1994 were fought on the basis of bringing power to the people, good governance, an end to, and accountability for past human rights abuses and corruption. The political transformation has seen big improvement in many areas of government. The country has seen

The Martial Spirit: Nyasaland (Malawi) Soldiers in British Service during Peace, 1895-1939 by Risto Marjomaa, University of Helsinki The aim of this article is to look at the changing military identity and social status of the Yao people who became the main source of recruits for the British colonial army in Nyasaland (modern Malawi) between 1895–1939. Although the chosen timeframe includes a global war, the First World War (1914–18), the war itself shall only be dealt in passing while the focus is in peacetime military organisation before and after this cataclysmic event. The experiences of the thousands of Malawians recruited to fight in the Great War have been intentionally left aside. From the point of view of motivation, status, identity and the soldier’s life in general there is a world of difference between an individual who is recruited to fight in a war and one who seeks peace time employment to maintain himself and his family. Although the subject of this paper is the peacetime colonial army, this does not mean it would not have seen occasional fighting against Africans resisting colonial rule. However, while this fighting was undoubtedly quite as real war as was the First World War to those who participated in it, it did not affect the general framework in which the soldiers operated. Nyasaland colonial troops formed a small community of a few hundred soldiers and their families who regarded barrack life as a part of their normal every day existence. On the other hand, those who took part in the World War, sometimes the same individuals, did not see themselves as living an ordinary life, but were mostly longing for the day the war would end and they could all go home. The framework of this paper is the peacetime colonial army as a place of employment.

An Investigation of Land Adjudication Procedures to Increase Tenure Security by Incorporating Local Customary Land Rights Samual J Rovicene Dambiane Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Land Surveying in the Department of Surveying and Mapping. University of Natal. Durban. March 1999 Table of Contents Abstract Preface Acknowledgements 1 INTRODUCTION ... REFERENCES Abstract There is a common perception and belief in the handling of a cadastre that the integration of both legal and local customary land rights in one national-centralised system will increase tenure security; that local customary land rights are secured under the legislation without connecting their ethnocentric and cultural behaviour rooted from inheritance form that is common in all African customary societies. These assumptions are questioned. This thesis shows that a non recognition of local customary land rights and the mechanisms that govern such rights may increase tenure insecurity; that a non integration of such mechanisms into regulatory framework may hamper the implementation of the legislation. It moves on to show, that in order to protect and bring land under more stable conditions, there is a need to set up a local level management services. This approach will facilitate land delivery and security of tenure of land held under local customary rights including other group approaches. To defend this thesis, both colonial and post-independence land tenure and policies and the regulatory frameworks are examined. This approach enables the thesis to assess to what extent land tenure transformations and policies have affected local customary forms of tenure in Mozambique. Having assessed that, a classical customary land tenure system is reviewed in order to actually draw a final conclusion of the current tenure situation in the country. In order to make an assessment of the conclusions from the findings, a case-study on the ground in Impaputo township in Namaacha district within the Maputo province was conducted.

Topography Economy History People Before 1498, when the first Portuguese arrived in what would later become Mozambique, coastal East Africa was occupied by Arabs who lived in the so-called Zenj (black) city-states. The Arabs were soon displaced, and for the next century Portugal dominated parts of the region, until Portugal’s economy weakened to the point that it could retain only some of the coastal cities. The Portuguese explored the interior of Mozambique in the 16th century, encountering many agricultural Bantu-speaking peoples but finding little wealth. By the 17th century, the Portuguese slave trade had destroyed the Mutapu Empire, the most powerful Bantu state in the area. It was not until 1975 that the people of Mozambique gained independence from the Portuguese. The country has ten major ethnic groups, including the Makua-Lomwe, Tsonga, Malawi, Shona, and Yao. The dominant ethnic group in the north is the Makua-Lomwe, who make up about 47 per cent of the total population; the Tsonga (23 per cent of the population) predominate in the south. Most of the country’s inhabitants are concentrated in coastal areas along the Zambezi , and on the Angonia Plateau.

Site Map Features August / September 2002 Southern African Drought Crisis The BDP Water and Sanitiation Cluster International Discourse on the Nile Incorporating Founder : Len Abrams Water Policy International Search Help Introduction The purpose of this article is to examine the relationship between animism and water. Animism can be defined as either "the belief that natural objects, natural phenomena and the universe itself possess souls, or the belief that natural objects have souls that may exist apart from their material bodies ." Viewed in such terms, animistic religions accord water a supernatural life force. The manner in which it visualises this life force is dependent upon the specific beliefs of the people in relation to the environment that they inhabit. The range of examples for this article is not limited to one continent, but as is the case with animism, will take into account relevant beliefs from different geographical locations. Animistic religion may lead to the belief in specific water spirits, or the water itself may even be imbued with supernatural qualities, qualities which prove to be enduring despite supercedence by Islamic or Christian religion. In some cases, the influences of animism may lead to attempts to make rain, usually through the use of "medicines" to either create rain clouds or act as a supplication to a supreme being with the power to grant the needed rain.
