Title A name given to the resource Katutura: A Place Where We Stay: Life in a Post-Apartheid Township in Namibia Description An account of the resource Katutura, located in Namibia’s major urban center and capital, Windhoek, was a township created by apartheid, and administered in the past by the most rigid machinery of the apartheid era. Namibia became a sovereign state in 1990, and Katutura reflects many of the changes that have taken place. No longer part of a rigidly bounded social system, people in Katutura today have the opportunity to enter and leave as their personal circumstances dictate. Influenced in recent years by significant urban migration and the changing political and economic situation in the new South Africa, as well as a myriad of other factors, this diverse community has held special interest for the author who did fieldwork there for several years prior to 1975. Pendleton’s recent visits provide a rich comparison of life in Katutura township during the peak of the apartheid years and in the post-independence period. In his systematic look at urbanization, poverty, stratification, ethnicity, social structure, and social history, he provides a compassionate view of the survivors of the unstable years of apartheid.

Title A name given to the resource Kenya Batallion in Namibia Description An account of the resource Kenya Battalion in Namibia is a debut book of note by a retired Kenya Army officer. The book is ground-breaking because in the highly secretive military service in Kenya, rarely do we hear army officers tell about their exploits in the service. It is an entertaining account that gives us a slice of how life was for the Kenyan Army officers in Namibia between 1989 and 1990. As it does so, it explains the forces at work during the period preceding Namibian freedom in 1990. The analytical narrative is by a disciplined soldier who does not want to be rude to his motherland. It showers glowing praise on such valiant soldiers as Brigadier Daniel Opande and Lieutenant-Colonel Kithinji. But, like all texts, Kenyan Battalion in Namibia can be politically fascinating when read against the grain. Its praise for foreign land is in a way criticism of mother land. Its political statements about Kenya can be found in the fascination it has for Namibia. Kenyan towns are dirty, the text says without saying, as he praises the cleanliness of Namibian town, which a Kenyan "could not help noting" because of "the gaping difference" between foreign towns and Kenyan ones. "Namibian towns were so clean that a person could easily pick an orange from the pavement and eat it without a second thought about germs," the writer says. The potholes in Nairobi are also a subject directly addressed by hyperbolic praise of Namibia. "Roads too were a sight to behold," the amazed writer notes. "They were spacious, accommodating and had no potholes." In describing the language problem the Kenya Army encountered in Namibia with respect to Afrikaans, the text is suggesting that the officers should be trained in different and foreign languages. The book is humorous, and although it is factual, it is imaginatively conceived and written. The ceremonies Kenyans performed to enhance their identity are described in detail. These include the Madaraka Day celebration that were attended by Kenyan traditional dances and pomp. The operation was not a bed of roses. The writer remembers an accident in July 1989 when Kenya lost two officers. The media reports in which a Kenyan officer was said to expend his urges of the groin on a Namibian woman are revisited, and a detailed clarification given. The suspect was said to have a big hole in the ear lobe, and this was associated with the Kenyan cultures which pierce their ear lobes. The text intervenes on the Kenyan officers who had become the butt of Namibian press regarding an above-average appetite for other people's spouses. Kenyan soldiers were also open to attack by sections of Namibians. The text gives the case of a Lieutenant-Colonel Kamau who was stabbed several times in an attack. "Hostility from sections of Namibians (who thought the Kenyan Battalion was partisan) was endemic," the book says. "Accusations and other intimidating mechanisms were the order of the day. For Kenyans, danger was lurking in the veld, in houses and along lonely streets." Spine-chilling tales the brutality of Boar soldiers are retailed with favour when on one occasion a white soldier is killed in combat. Boers, it was said, would hunt down black people, torture them to death in a most bizarre way before giving animals a treat. "Properly cooked, a man's fresh flesh is delicious food for Boer's pigs," a white man is quoted as having remarked. The book explains the reason why our soldiers had to fly to Namibia. The Kenya army was not called to Namibian aid because Namibia did not have enough forces, it says. There was bad blood between the Apartheid South African-trained forces of the colonial government, and the guerilla freedom fighters. Both were military competent, but ideologically incompatible, the book says. Kenya which had "many of the necessary credentials" was called in to help foresee a smooth transition where the two groups would work together in defence of their newly-independent country. The book is angry with political elite who use the army to achieve their selfish ends. In a politically bold statement, the author bashes political leaders who forget other departments to please the army so that, in turn, it can prop them into power. "Generally the forces are maintained as a watchdog to prop unpopular regimes which would otherwise be voted out of office by a most dissatisfied electorate," Mwarania says. "Inevitably the masters of such armies have resulted to playing on the tribal factors in their quest for dominance." The author does not say whether these problems exist in Kenya, but he pulls no punches in criticising "African" political establishment. "Conventionally, most of Africa's defence forces fit as tribal home guards or at best as political party brown shirts employed to secure the interests of their masters," says Mwarania. "They cannot defend the very nation that feeds and sustains them." It is the book's secret anger that makes it an allegory of our system. One wishes Mwarania could write a novel which would allow him more freedom to deploy stylistic strategies with which he would fight the national enemies of Kenya. He has the potential, a fact not lost on University of Nairobi's Prof. Chris Wanjala in a foreword to the 153-page book. "Ben Mwarania is a writer to note," says Prof. Wanjala, Kenya's most authoritative and strictest literary critic who will not praise you for nothing. "It will not be surprising if one day he writes a novel." There are a few editorial lapses, but the text is fairly well edited."

Title A name given to the resource Kernel [Pähkinänsydän] Description An account of the resource "Kernel tells about the San (Bushmen) of the western Okavango region of Namibia in the late 1950s and early 1960s - a period when the education system was being extended to include these earliest indigenous inhabitants of southern Africa. As a young teacher in 1949, the author, Tuulikki Jantunen, had moved to Namibia (then known as South West Africa) from her home country, Finland, to teach in the Okavango mission fields - a stint of work which continued for over thirty years. In Kernel we are introduced to a small San community living according to its own rules of behaviour in the settlement of Mpungu in the Okavango region. These people, formerly hunter-gatherers, now face a new cultural phase. Following the example of their neighbours, they have become sedentary farmers and have sown their first seeds. However, they do not want to abandon their nomadic way of life entirely and cannot bear to remain in their fields for long. They have to get back to the forest now and then. Some also want to go to school and the mission station offers them the opportunity to do so. It is this stage in the history of the San community that the author describes. There is no other written information about the San at the applicable time and place, thus Kernel is a new and valuable source for research into the cultures of Namibia. The book is also a fine read. It provides a personal and expressive description of the life of the community and conveys a humane close-up picture of San culture. Through it also the San will lie able to obtain new knowledge about their own background and cultural heritage. The publication of the book in English by the Namibia Scientific Society is a commendable cultural deed."

Title A name given to the resource Kwanyama Mining and Smelting: Angola 1937 Description An account of the resource The Following is extracted from a webpage at the University of Kent at Canterbury. It provides background on the film clip. "The smelting movie was chosen for this project for a number of reasons. Essentially it is a good example of an ethnographic movie in that it highlights and examines an ongoing process that contains many examples of ritual and these are captured in the film. The position of the smith is a respected one, he is a ritual specialist, able to 'cure' iron-ore and produce the highly prized metal. The technological process of smelting in this particular instance seems to be a variety that is not commonly described. All the other descriptions of furnaces that I have come across mention a chimney for example, and several tuyeres. However ritual is a significant part of the process. That the actual technical process is a skilled and complicated procedure there is no doubt, the ritual may act to disguise the technical process, thus ensuring the privileges Smelting in Africa has a varied and widespread history. Today traditional smelting has all but died out, and the industry was initially affected by the importation of cheap European iron at the turn of the century. That the iron smelting in the film was occurring as late as 1937 is in itself by all accounts unusual. The film is also of interest as it is a piece of work that has been carried out by two of Major Powell-Cotton's daughters, Diana and Antoinette. This fact allows for another perspective on the museum collection. Also women ethnographic film makers in the 1930's were a rare breed. The movie contains several good examples of ritual behaviour. Also I have had access to the field-notes of the people who made the film. What I have tried to achieve by the combination of video and text is not only an insight and explanation of the Ovambo and their smelting tradition, but also some insight into the thinking and construction of the film makers themselves. Neither women were anthropologists and I am sure that this is apparent from looking at the notes in terms of how much more information there could be, as well as some of the descriptive comments. The typed field notes have been reproduced as they were found in the museum archives, including spelling and grammatical errors, in order to give the user a sense of comparison with the film. Things discussed in the field notes are not necessarily recorded in the film." Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Diana Powell-Cotton & A.

Title A name given to the resource Lähetyslääkäri Selma Rainio länsimaisen kulttuurin ja lääketieteen edustajana Ambomaalla vuosina 1908–1938 Description An account of the resource Trans: "Missionary Doctor Selma Rainio: Representative of Western Culture and Medicine in Ovamboland, 1908-1938" - Master's Thesis: University of Eastern Finland - Lähetyslääkäri Selma Rainio länsimaisen kulttuurin ja lääketieteen edustajana Ambomaalla vuosina 1908–1938 Tiedekunta/oppiaine: yhteiskunta- ja aluetieteiden tiedekunta, yleinen historia Sivumäärä: 79 Aika ja paikka: elokuu 2008, Joensuu Pro gradu -tutkielma tarkastelee Suomen Lähetysseuran lähetyslääkäri Selma Rainiota länsimaisen kulttuurin ja lääketieteen edustajana Ambomaan lähetyskentällä vuosina 1908–1938. Tarkoituksena on selvittää, miten kulttuurien kohtaaminen näkyi Rainion työssä. Tutkielma käsittelee Rainion suhdetta paikalliseen väestöön ja kulttuuriin, uskonnon ja sairaanhoidon suhdetta lähetyslääkinnässä sekä länsimaisen ja traditionaalisen sairaanhoidon suhdetta. Lähdeaineisto kattaa sekä painamattomia että painettuja lähteitä. Selma Rainion kokoelman kirjeet tarjoavat tietoa hänen työstään ja elämästään Ambomaalla. Lähettien kokousten pöytäkirjoista käyvät ilmi ajankohtaiset ja tärkeät asiat, joista lähetit kävivät keskustelua. Vuosikertomukset puolestaan antavat tietoa Rainion tekemästä sairaanhoitotyöstä. Näiden lisäksi lähteenä käytetään Suomen Lähetysseuran julkaisemaa teosta, jonka Rainio kirjoitti kahden sairaanhoitajan kanssa. Teos käsittelee lääkärilähetystä Ambomaalla. Selma Rainio asennoitui kaksijakoisesti ambokulttuuriin. Hän näki paikallisessa kulttuurissa paljon positiivisia piirteitä ja halusi säilyttää sen, mutta piti kuitenkin ambokulttuuria alempiarvoisena kuin länsimaista kulttuuria esimerkiksi uskomalla, että kehityksen ja opetuksen avulla amboista voi tulla samanarvoisia länsimaalaisten rinnalla. Samanlainen kaksijakoisuus ilmeni myös sairaanhoidon osalta: Rainio kunnioitti ambojen perinteistä parantamistapaa ja piti sitä taitavana, mutta katsoi heidän olevan tietämättömiä ja valistuksen tarpeessa. Uskonnollisuus ilmeni selvästi Rainion työssä, sillä hän piti ensisijaisena tehtävänään potilaiden käännyttämistä. Lähetyslääkinnän ja paikallisen parantamisen välillä esiintyi kilpailua, mikä ilmeni siten, että suuri osa lähetysaseman sairaalan potilaista oli kristittyjä, vaikka enemmistö Ambomaan väestöstä oli ei-kristittyjä.

Title A name given to the resource Land Cover Change in the Okavango River Basin - Historical changes during the Angolan civil war, contributing causes and effects on water quality Description An account of the resource Masters thesis in Water Resources and Livelihood Security - "The Okavango river flows from southern Angola, through the Kavango region of Namibia and into the Okavango Delta in Botswana. The recent peace in Angola hopefully marks the end of the intense suffering that the peoples of the river basin have endured, and the beginning of sustainable decision-making in the area. Informed decision-making however requires knowledge; and there is a need for, and a lack of knowledge regarding basin-wide land cover (LC) changes, and their causes, during the Angolan civil war in the basin. Furthermore, there is a need for, and a lack of knowledge on how expanding large-scale agriculture and urban growth along the Angola-Namibia border affects the water quality of the river. The aim of this study was therefore to develop a remote sensing method applicable to the basin (with scant ground-truth data availability) to carry out a systematic historic study of LC changes during the Angolan civil war, to apply the method to the basin, to relate these changes to major societal trends in the region, and to analyse potential impacts of expanding large-scale agriculture and urban growth on the water quality of the river along the Angola-Namibia border. A range of remote sensing methods to study historic LC changes in the basin were tried and evaluated against reference data collected during a field visit in Namibia in October 2005. Eventually, two methods were selected and applied to pre-processed Landsat MSS and ETM+ satellite image mosaics of 1973 and 2001 respectively: 1. a combined unsupervised classification and pattern-recognition change detection method providing quantified and geographically distributed binary LC class change trajectory information and, 2. an NDVI (Normalised Difference Vegetation Index) change detection method providing quantified and geographically distributed continuous information on degrees of change in vegetation vigour. In addition, available documents and people initiated in the basin conditions were consulted in the pursuit of discerning major societal trends that the basin had undergone during the Angolan civil war. Finally, concentrations of nutrients (total phosphorous & total nitrogen), bacteria (faecal coliforms & faecal streptococci), conductivity, total dissolved solids, dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature and Secchi depth were sampled at 11 locations upstream and downstream of large-scale agricultural facilities and an urban area during the aforementioned field visit. The nature, extent and geographical distribution of LC changes in the study area during the Angolan civil war were determined. The study area (150 922 km2) was the Angolan and Namibian parts of the basin. The results indicate that the vegetation vigour is dynamic and has decreased overall in the area, perhaps connected with precipitation differences between the years. However while the vigour decreased in the northwest, it increased in the northeast, and on more local scales the pattern was often more complex. With respect to migration out of Angola into Namibia, the LC changes followed expectations of more intense use in Namibia close to the border (0-5 km), but not at some distance (10-20 km), particularly east of Rundu. With respect to urbanisation, expectations of increased human impact locally were observed in e.g. Rundu, Menongue and Cuito Cuanavale. Road deterioration was also observed with Angolan urbanisation but some infrastructures appeared less damaged by the war. Some villages (e.g. Savitangaiala de Môma) seem to have been abandoned during the war so that the vegetation could regenerate, which was expected. But other villages (e.g. Techipeio) have not undergone the same vegetation regeneration suggesting they were not abandoned. The areal extent of large-scale agriculture increased 59% (26 km2) during the war, perhaps as a consequence of population growth. But the expansion was not nearly at par with the population growth of the Kavango region (320%), suggesting that a smaller proportion of the population relied on the large-scale agriculture for their subsistence in 2001 compared with 1973. No significant impacts were found from the large-scale agriculture and urbanisation on the water quality during the dry season of 2005. Total phosphorous concentrations (with range: 0.067-0.095 mg l-1) did vary significantly between locations (p=0.013) but locations upstream and downstream of large-scale agricultural facilities were not significantly different (p=0.5444). Neither did faecal coliforms (range: 23-63 counts per 100ml) nor faecal streptococci (range: 8-33 counts per 100ml) vary significantly between locations (p=0.332 and p=0.354 respectively). Thus the impact of Rundu and the extensive livestock farming along the border were not significant at this time. The Cuito river on the other hand significantly decreased both the conductivity (range: 27.2-49.7 μS cm-1, p<0.0001) and the total dissolved solid concentration (range: 12.7-23.4 mg l-1, p<0.0001) of the mainstream of the Okavango during the dry season. Land cover changes during the Angolan civil war, contributing causes and effects on water quality were studied in this research effort. Many of the obtained results can be used directly or with further application as a knowledge base for sustainable decision-making and management in the basin. Wisely used by institutions charged with that objective, the information can contribute to sustainable development and the ending of suffering and poverty for the benefit of the peoples of the Okavango and beyond."

Title A name given to the resource LANDFORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE MIDDLE COURSE OF THE KUISEB RIVER IN THE NAMIB DESERT, NAMIBIA Description An account of the resource The hyperarid to arid Namib Desert extends along the west coast of southern Africa. The Kuiseb River is one of the major ephemeral rivers originating in the interior highland, and crosses the Namib Desert. Fluvial terraces are well developed along the middle reaches of the Kuiseb River near Gobabeb, and are classified into four surfaces: upper (H), middle 1 (M1), middle 2 (M2), and lower (L). Layers of calcrete are founded on the M1 and M2 surfaces, and gypcrete layers are founded on the H surface. Dead tree matter, buried by dune sand on the L surface, dates to 300±60 years BP and 550±50 years BP. The calcareous crusts on the M1 surface date to 5, 300±60 years BP and 6, 450±50 years BP, and those of the M2 surface date to 22, 070±260 years BP. The presence of calcrete suggests that the ground water level was higher when the M1 and M2 surfaces were formed than it is at the present time. Tree size distribution on the L surface demonstrates that the L surface was also formed during a relatively wet period. It may be concluded, therefore, that these fluvial terraces record the humid periods of ca 22 ka, 5–6.5 ka, and 300–600 years BP in the catchment area of the Kuiseb River. The presence of a water-soluble gypsum crust on the H surface suggests that the paleohydrologic environment of these terrace-forming periods probably involved increased rainfall in the interior highland east of the desert.

Title A name given to the resource Late Pleistocene Sedimentary Environment of the "Homeb Silts" Deposits, along the Middle Kuiseb River in the Namib Desert, Namibia Description An account of the resource In the Namib, the tectonic and geographic setting of the area means that there are no large lake basins, and relict aeolian deposits appear to be quite rare. This has posed severe problems for reconstructing palaeoclimates in this region. In addition, there are significant problems with developing a well-dated chronology of events, as well as in the interpretation of the dated evidence for hydrologic and climatic changes. The Late Pleistocene "Homeb Silts" have been interpreted in previous studies as follows: (1) dunedamed lake sediments indicating an arid environment; (2) river end-point deposits indicating arid conditions; (3) flood plain sediments of an aggrading river indicating a semi-arid environment and (4) river flood slack water sediments indicating a wet environment and intense precipitation events in the headwaters. In this present study, sedimentary facies of the "Homeb Silts" were re-described and interpretation of the sedimentary environment changes that resulted in their deposition re-assessed. The conclusions are as follows: (1) The "Homeb Silts" were deposited during ca. 26 to 19 k yrs BP (ca. 25 to 19 k cal yrs BP) as indicated by eleven AMS 14C measurements; (2) Almost all of the "Homeb Silts" were deposited under wet conditions by fluvial floods, except during the early depositional phase; (3) The "Homeb Silts" have recorded some detailed environmental changes during ca. 26 to 19 k yrs BP (ca. 25 to 19 k cal yrs BP); and, (4) Depositional events caused by similar climatic events in recent years have occurred, like heavy rains and flood events in the headwaters.

Title A name given to the resource Nordic Documentation on the Liberation Struggle in Southern Africa (NAI) Description An account of the resource <blockquote> <p>In 2003 the Nordic Africa Institute initiated a project to identify archives in the Nordic countries, that cover documentation on anti-apartheid resistance and the liberation struggle in Southern Africa, mainly South Africa and Namibia, during 1960-1990. (Other countries are covered, see the information box in the right hand column.) Around this time, a large number of organisations in the Nordic countries e.g. government bodies, youth and church organisations, political parties and solidarity groups participated in the struggle. As a result, vast bilateral cooperation emerged and many well documented conferences and meetings were held in the Nordic countries and in Africa. Several visits to refugee camps in Africa and encounters with different leaders were also documented on videos, tapes and in pictures. Another result was this website that works as an reference source. It was launched on 24 April 2007.

Title A name given to the resource Liberation Movements as Governments: Democratic Authoritarianism in Former Settler Colonies of Southern Africa Description An account of the resource "The hybrid mix of authoritarianism and democracy disguised as specific form of “nationalism and national projects” (Ndlovu-Gathseni/Ndhlovu 2013) has been normalised in the postcolonial settings. In particular Zimbabwe, Namibia and South Africa, had relatively well-developed infrastructure and economies and relatively well educated populations; they emerged or consolidated at a time when the world order had decidedly become (at least formally) democratic. The notion of “good governance” was coined as the guiding principle issued by the hegemonic Western world (Abrahamsen 2000). None of these liberation movements as governments have been seriously threatened by a coup d’état. These countries were better placed than most other African states in their transition to democracies that were claiming to apply political equality in actual practice. Why have they failed to make this transformation more credible and convincing?"

Title A name given to the resource Livelihoods after Land Reform: Namibia Country Report (pt. 1) Description An account of the resource In 1990, Namibia emerged from colonial rule with a skewed distribution of agricultural land and high levels of poverty. The new government led by SWAPO Party initiated a process to address the land question within the first few months of Independence. A National Conference on Land Reform and the Land Question in 1991 was the foundation on which the Namibian government developed its land reform programme. The Ministry of Lands, Resettlement and Rehabilitation started in 1990 to acquire freehold farmland for subdivision and allocation to previously disadvantaged Namibians. This component of redistributive land reform was complemented by the Affirmative Action Loan Scheme (AALS) established in 1992. The AALS provided subsidised loans to previously disadvantaged Namibians to acquire large-scale commercial farms under freehold title. The primary objectives of land reform in Namibia were to address injustices which largescale land dispossession had brought about, and to reduce poverty and inequality. However, little empirical work has been done to assess the impact of land redistribution on poverty levels and the livelihoods of beneficiaries. The most comprehensive survey on the impact of land redistribution was conducted by the Permanent Technical Team on Land Reform (PTT) in 2003/04. The primary objective of this survey on “livelihoods after land reform” is to add to the existing body of knowledge on land redistribution. Through case studies in Hardap and Omaheke Regions, the survey explored the extent to which land redistribution is reducing poverty and meeting livelihood improvement objectives.
