 Brian Siegel, "Water Spirits and Mermaids: The Copperbelt Case"
South of the Zambezi River, a number of snake-like river spirits or witchcraft familiars seem to have assumed the modern guise of mermaids.
Simon Kekana (1996) informs me that, these days, "[c]onceptions of mermaids are fairly common in South Africa;" and that the Sotho folktales of the mamolapo or mamogashoa tell how it lures over-confident young men to their dooms by appearing in the guise of a "very beautiful and attractive" mermaid.

But in South Africa, especially during the 1980s, mass funeral gatherings were also political events, and as such represented a significant danger in the collective mind of the apartheid state.
Mainstream white South Africa, of which the Herald stood as a reasonably good representative, was still not prepared to recognize the entire apartheid system as the root cause of the outrage in the townships.
It is clear on the face of it that this was not the sort of judgment that would appease fl South Africa, lacking as it did any decision on the accountability for the death and wounding of the protesters.

 STRATEGIES FOR DRY SEASON FEEDING OF ANIMALS IN CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN AFRICA
In most areas of Africa, these factors and processes culminate in an annual cycle of forage production that peaks during the wet period and is severely limited during the dry period in terms of the nutritional requirements of herbivores.
In South Africa, these areas are characterised by heavy thunderstorms during the wet season (summer) and frost in winter (dry season).
The tropical or moist savannahs (excluding rain forest) are synonymous with the dry plainslands of Africa:- grasslands studded with flat-crowned acacias and carrying a profusion of wild ungulates (Huntly, 1982).

Andrew Murray is a Lecturer in the Department of Sociology, University of Fort Hare, Alice, South Africa Much of the data underlying this paper is drawn from a study that Andrew Murray recently undertook for the Eastern Cape Socio-Economic Consultative Council.
Within South Africa, an examination of the provincial distribution of current funding on bulk infrastructure (which makes up 80% of the bank's 1997/98 disbursements) reveals that more than two thirds of these funds are going to Gauteng.
The problem lies in South Africa's macro-economic and financial policies which ultimately set the conditions of cost-recovery that control DFIs, consequently affecting who they lend to and at what rates.
