VL - 115 IS - 460 U2 - w48 U3 - Abstract available N2 - The presence of a low-power 30 kW nuclear reactor at the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) in Kwabenya, a suburb of Ghana's capital city Accra, has exacerbated longstanding disputes over access to land there. The reactor complex has a five km radius of empty land as a buffer zone, but neighbouring residents have reclaimed what they perceive to be fallow land. An estimated 30 percent of the 2,000 acres of GAEC land has been lost to squatters and resale by families from Kwabenya, Haatso, and other nearby towns. This article traces the history of land disputes at Kwabenya from the earliest court records in the early twentieth century, through the expropriation of GAEC lands in the 1960s under President Kwame Nkrumah, to recent tensions after Ghana imported the reactor in 1994. A historical analysis of Atomic Lands in Ghana shows how competing interpretations of an exclusion zone may compromise nuclear security in African countries. The analysis is based on testimonies from court records, media reports, and extensive oral history interviews with residents, physicists, and entrepreneurs in Kwabenya. Their stories indicate that the Commission increasingly uses the potential of radiation on their properties to outmanoeuvre family claims to land. As Ghana and other African countries expect to expand their nuclear capabilities, a history of property disputes near one of the first nuclear programmes on the continent demonstrates the challenge of managing atomic lands.

VL - 115 IS - 460 U2 - w48 U3 - Abstract available N2 - In 2015 Saudi Arabia and Sudan signed four agreements that committed the Saudi kingdom to funding three big dam projects in Sudan, as well as the cultivation and irrigation of more than a million acres near already-constructed dams on Sudanese territory. These financial promises are a "quid pro quo" for the participation of the Sudanese Armed Forces since March 2015 in the war waged in Yemen by the Saudis. This briefing historicizes the renewed prioritization of dam building, situating it in a changing global political economy and the evolving strategic outlook of multiple African governments. Drawing on this context, the briefing then explores the particular motives of Sudan's Al-Ingaz regime for its dam activities, and demonstrates how its renewed investments have been enabled by the turbulent geopolitics of the Red Sea and the recently forged Saudi-Sudanese alliance to counter perceived Iranian expansionism in Yemen.

This integrated development and conservation project was developed and implemented by Vogelbescherming Nederland and BirdLife International between 2011-2015. The initiative aimed to improve living conditions in the Sahel for birds and people, by working with the local population to conserve and restore the natural environment and enhance livelihoods through a more sustainable use of natural resources. The author analyses the socio-cultural, socio-economic and institutional aspects of the project in Burkina Faso, predominantly including two of Burkina Fasos three LCGs (Local Conservation Groups), namely the Sourou LCG and the Higa LCG. For comparison purposes, and to place the Living on the Edge project in a broader context, similar interventions were also studied. In addition, the local population and the development actors active in the two LCG areas were included in the study, as well as development actors with similar activities in other areas in the country. Furthermore, ecological aspects, including changes in land use and land cover, and their (potential) impact on A-P migrant birds are also discussed. It connects this with integrated conservation and development concepts. The main objectives of this study are to uncover the local values of birds, the environment and conservation for rural people in the Sahel, and to increase insights into interventions that aim to achieve integrated (migrant bird) conservation and sustainable development objectives in this area.

VL - 115 IS - 460 U2 - w48 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Is ANC hegemony in South Africa stable or in decline? The 2014 election provided support for both interpretations, as the ANC registered its fifth consecutive victory but with a declining share of the vote, especially in urban areas. In what ways and among which groups is the ANC maintaining its hegemony? This study draws on an exit survey of 3,782 voters in sixteen communities in and around Gauteng Province, with a particular focus on impoverished and protest-affected urban townships. The results show that while the ANC continues to derive power from its role as the party of national liberation, pluralistic party competition is deepening. This competition centres on the quality of governance and material provision such as houses and social grants, and is refracted through divisions based on age, gender, race, and ethnicity. Evidence also suggests that protests in communities and workplaces are translating into support for opposition parties such as the EFF, implying a broader challenge to ANC hegemony. Notes, ref., sum.

VL - 75 IS - 3 U2 - w48 U3 - Abstract available N2 - In this article, the author draws on an ethnographic study focused on the experiences of internally displaced people living with HIV/AIDS in northern Uganda between 2006 and 2013; in particular, he explores the ways in which they have navigated the effects of conflict, displacement, and post-conflict return movements. Here, the author argues that disease, more than simply a vulnerability or a social identity, became a way of dwelling with displacement and in the post-displacement landscape. He argues here that a dwelling perspective, derived and adapted from the work of Tim Ingold, provides a lens into understanding the intertwined embodied, social and environmental concerns of people living with HIV in the post-conflict situation. Sustaining life with HIV requires securing food and medication, ensuring networks of care, but also orientation in a changing material and social landscape; without these the disease could be terminal even with access to treatment. This is a particular concern for HIV-positive women who are often denied access to land. In making these arguments the author seeks to move beyond a dominant public health perspective on HIV and post-conflict return - focused on 'vulnerability' and health services - and show that disease becomes integral to social and territorial relations. The perspective of disease as dwelling also aims to advance anthropological perspectives on HIV by focusing on the ways in which sustaining life with HIV/AIDS involves an embodied encounter with a wider landscape, itself formed through natural and political forces.

VL - 9 IS - 4 U2 - w48 U3 - Abstract available N2 - The involvement of the European Union in DR Congo from 2003-2006 raised the possibility that collaboration between the United Nations and regional organizations was taking a new turn in maintaining international peace and security. From the outset it seemed as if the relationship between the United Nations and the European Union was being enhanced as the two organizations set up a framework of cooperation in the joint declarations of 2003 and 2007. However, the argument in this article is that although organizations like the United Nations and European Union are dependent on each other's resources, organizational and member state interests and capability parity (whereby two organizations have similar functional areas like police reforms or peacekeeping) create a constrained environment due to overlap and crowded operational space that negatively affects cooperation and resource sharing.

VL - 75 IS - 3 U2 - w48 U3 - Abstract available N2 - The Pan-African movement and the contribution of the Egyptian state and society to this movement have witnessed a significant change over the last five decades. The article traces the transformations in the meaning of Pan-Africanism from liberation from discrimination and colonialism to liberation from authoritarianism and a struggle for democracy and human rights. It argues that the position of the Egyptian state has changed from a progressive force that supported the Pan-African ideals of anti-imperialism and the struggle for independence to a conservative force that defends traditional concepts of sovereignty and expresses little enthusiasm for the African Union's new governance instruments. It explores the short lived potential that the January 25 revolution presented for restoring the role of the Egyptian state and revitalising the role of its civil society at the heart of the Pan-African struggle for political and economic rights. The memoirs of Egyptian leaders and officials and the reports and statements of AU organs as well as the Egyptian ministry of foreign affairs are analysed in this article to uncover the Egyptian government's position and the comparative stance of the continental organisation. Primary and secondary sources are examined to provide an assessment of the role of non-state actors in Egypt in the Pan-African movement. Bibliogr., notes, ref., sum.

VL - 115 IS - 460 U2 - w48 U3 - Abstract available N2 - While scholars have studied various aspects of election campaigns, they have not examined their effects on political knowledge in Africa. Since many problems are blamed on information scarcity, campaign-related learning could affect democratic development positively. This article focuses on the case of Uganda, using unique panel data from the 2010-11 campaign. The author finds that knowledge on office holders, candidates, and institutions increased significantly over the campaign. Importantly, these increases were not concentrated amongst the previously privileged, but also occurred amongst often-disadvantaged groups, such as women, the poor, the less-educated, and rural dwellers. In fact, the campaign seems to have diminished, although not eliminated, pre-existing knowledge gaps between advantaged and disadvantaged populations. It does not appear that Ugandans learned because the campaign made them more excited about politics, but rather because they were exposed to political communications, door-to-door canvassing, and increasingly politicized media content. Finally, knowledge increases are significantly correlated with increased criticism of institutions, but not with increased support for democracy or participation. While we cannot generalize to the rest of the continent, given that interest in a non-competitive campaign like Uganda's might be relatively limited, we might expect similar or larger learning effects in more-democratic settings.

VL - 43 IS - 148 U2 - w48 U3 - Abstract available N2 - One of the most neglected aspects of the national question discourse in Nigeria is on the role of land as a site and source of conflicts, especially given the increasing demand for its redistribution and reform in the periods before and after the implementation of the structural adjustment programme. This study discusses land as a crucial aspect of the national question discourse in Nigeria. It examines the question of how colonialism through its policies and programmes as well as the administrative structures and political systems put in place by the colonial state introduced new complications and dimensions to the land question, mainly through the creation and development of contradictions in colonial and postcolonial Nigeria. Drawing on data generated from focus group discussions and oral interviews carried out across the locations with pronounced incidences of land-based conflicts in the six states across South-Western Nigeria, it examines the impact of economic considerations in the ethnically motivated conflicts in Nigeria over land from 1999 to 2015. It establishes the contradictions and injustices characterising the articulation of the citizenship question vis-…-vis various ethnic majorities and minorities as well as historically dominant minorities, especially indigenes and settlers in Nigerian history and politics; and how these generate violent ethnic protests, struggles and other divisive consequences. Tapping into ethnicity, migration and other issues underlying intergroup polarisation, it discusses the conflicts between Hausa-Fulani pastoralists and indigenous Yoruba farmers in South-Western Nigeria as an illustration of the contradictions underpinning citizenship and the prevailing frameworks of land ownership in Africa.

VL - 115 U2 - w48 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This research note argues that quantitative survey data on Africa, welcomed by most researchers in public health, economics, and political science, can make an important contribution to the work of historians and anthropologists, especially if it is open to critical analysis. The research note describes the 2012-13 "Knowing Each Other" survey on religion among the Yoruba of south-west Nigeria, which provides strong evidence for a slow shift from Islam to Christianity in the area since 1963, and reflects on the methods and challenges of carrying out the survey and the resulting biases within it. In doing so, the research note draws out lessons on how to use surveys for historical and anthropological research. It also shows how using surveys contributes to understanding the complex and unexplored dynamics of Muslim-Christian relations in Nigeria from the perspectives of locality, age, and gender.

VL - 9 IS - 4 U2 - w48 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Despite the growing importance of the concept human security, security studies in Africa remain largely focused on the threat of direct violence and the role of state actors. This article broadens the security agenda by focusing on food security and discusses how women in rural Rwanda experience and view food security. In making individual women the referent of security, the article exposes the gap between national level reforms, which aim to and have been deemed successful to combat poverty and increase food production, and the experiences of women who report a decline in food availability and increased problems in accessing food in the wake of reforms and who often struggle against hunger in a disadvantaged position within their households and local power structures. Building on 51 interviews with women in western Rwanda conducted in 2013 and 2014, the article illustrates how the human security perspective with a sensitivity to gender relations and positions is important for gaining a fuller picture of the security of individuals.

The authors present evidence suggesting that this decline is not being driven by lower submission rates from Africa but rather by low and declining acceptance rates. They also find that Africa-based scholars, but not women, are systematically cited less than others. They then analyse article titles and find preliminary evidence suggesting that Africa-based authors are more likely to write on a small number of countries and less likely to generalize. Authors based outside Africa seem more likely to generalize to the continent and are more likely to write on economics or conflict. These patterns have implications for the diversity of the discipline and the state of our knowledge about Africa. Notes, ref., sum.

Consequently, any source that contributes to our knowledge beyond the level of primary languages should be appreciated and exploited. This article utilises Round 4 of the Afrobarometer Survey that collects information on ethnicity, home, and additional languages in 20 sub-Saharan African countries. The study has three main contributions. First, it overviews and compares some widely used sources that contain linguistic data and investigates why they show such a diverse picture on language use patterns. Second, it applies the ICP which, according to the author's knowledge, is the first linguistic measure that takes multilingualism into account. Third, it shows how a simple graphic representation of the ICP can be used to visualise the most important dimensions of a country's linguistic situation including the order of languages according to their size, the presence of monolingual speakers, and the relation between vernaculars and the former colonisers' languages. The study findings are expected to be of interest to scholars engaged in language policy and planning and language-related development issues. Bibliogr., notes, ref., sum.

Data was collected from randomly selected articles from South African English-language print media. The author's main argument is that the South African print media provided coverage of the strike that privileged mining interests and generally ignored the concerns and voices of the miners. Using a combination of decolonial and neo-Marxist critical political economy of the media theoretical approaches, the author suggests the media in South Africa operates in a global 'colonial matrix of power' that (re)produce dominant discourses and ideologies that favour elite interests. The article concludes with some remarks on the need for media in South Africa to adopt a different ethical and normative framework that gives voice to silenced and marginalised voices.

It argues that the marriage market became part of the broader circuit of predation by different armed groups. Inter-ethnic marriages varied between different ethnic groups and served different goals.

VL - 43 IS - 148 U2 - w48 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Over the past decade, African agriculture sectors have been the object of numerous initiatives advancing a 'new' Green Revolution for the continent. The low productivity of African smallholders is attributed to the low use of modern, improved agricultural inputs. In short, African countries are expected to catch up with the Green Revolution in other parts of the world. This paper is a contribution to the debate on the new African Green Revolution. The authors analyse the Rwandan Crop Intensification Programme (CIP) as a case study of the application of the African Green Revolution model. The paper is based on research at the macro, meso and micro levels. The authors argue that the CIP fails to draw lessons from previous Green Revolution experiences in terms of its effects on social differentiation, on ecological sustainability, and on knowledge exchange and creation.

VL - 75 IS - 3 U2 - w48 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Since the new democracy, journalists in South Africa have been faced with a particularly subjecting call from the ruling party, the African National Congress: a call to be loyal, conflating this in the process with the liberation project of the past. This article examines how black journalists reacted to this call, and what sort of 'turns' they made in the aftermath of a luncheon organised by the Forum for Black Journalists in 2008, from which their fellow white colleagues were excluded. By examining the journalists' discourse and the demise of the FBJ, this article concludes that race is not the master signifier in journalism and through journalism. In some instances, there were erratic signs of passionate attachments to signifiers that oppress, for instance, apartheid and colonial norms. The method is conceptual and theoretical. The article deploys concepts developed by Judith Butler (such as passionate attachments, unhappy consciousness, and resignifications) and Slavoj Zizek's deployment of signifiers (that of master- and floating-signifiers) and applies these to race and journalism in post-apartheid South Africa.

VL - 75 IS - 3 U2 - w48 U3 - Abstract available N2 - In 1873 Joseph Orpen, resident of Nomansland, engaged a San man Qing to guide a combined force of levies and mounted police through the Maloti mountains in present-day Lesotho where they hoped to intercept a group of reluctant Hlubi rebels under chief Langalibalele. Orpen was not only a colonial official but also a keen scholar. In response to his questions Qing commented on some of the rock paintings they saw on their short journey and recounted folklore. A year later Qing's narratives and his comments on rock art were published along with Orpen's account of the journey and 'remarks' by the celebrated linguist and collector of |Xam narrative, Wilhelm Bleek in an article in the Cape Monthly Magazine (CMM). Orpen's piece has enjoyed a seminal position in San studies ever since, especially in the field of rock art. The encounter between Qing and Orpen occurred in a context of colonial violence. Not only was the campaign that was being pursued against Langalibalele and his men unnecessary but the San had been subject to genocidal attacks by both regular and irregular colonial forces for a considerable period of time, and the studies of San rock art and narrative at the time were largely carried out in an intellectual climate that saw the extinction of the San as inevitable. This article will locate the CMM article more firmly in its colonial context by combining a close reading of elements of the CMM article itself with a consideration of a wider body of writing that relates to Orpen's piece.

Whereas South Africa has been widely referenced as a regional hegemonic power capable of using its soft power influence to deepen its global status, there are contradictions to Pretoria's increasing soft power claim. In this article the authors undertake a discursive analysis of some of these soft power limitations. The main argument raised is that despite the optimism, South Africa's capacity to translate soft power into influence has been largely undercut by several factors, including its recurring xenophobic incidences and leadership inconsistencies toward Africa. The authors conclude by asserting that South Africa can indeed continue to punch above its weight if it begins to address the ambivalence that confronts the expression of its soft power resources.

VL - 115 IS - 460 U2 - w48 U3 - Abstract available N2 - During the early years of the United Nations Human Rights Council, formed in 2006, the African Group obstructed efforts to scrutinize and improve human rights in specific countries, notably in the cases of Darfur and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. However, in recent years the African Group has become willing to address country-specific human rights violations, particularly in C“te d'Ivoire, Libya, and Eritrea. This article documents the African Group's shift and asks why it occurred. Against the backdrop of debates about whether the liberal international order can survive a decline in American dominance, the study of the African Group's shift grants us insight into the elements that underpin liberal internationalism. Three explanations for the African Group's shift are considered: an improvement in the domestic human rights profile of African Group members, changes to the internal dynamics of the African Group, and the influence of the United States. The article concludes that American power was decisive, a finding that raises doubt about whether the liberal international order will survive a decline in American power. Notes, ref., sum.

VL - 115 IS - 460 U2 - w48 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Asset indices are ubiquitous in the debate about well-being in African countries, not least because of the paucity of traditional household income and expenditure data. Indeed, asset data have fuelled the creation of a new, more optimistic picture of well-being in Africa, where both income and the middle class are growing fast. This is the first review of the use of asset indices for African countries. Readers are guided through key debates over the use of asset data, including the use of assets to measure trends over time as well as socio-economic status and class. The authors argue that the theoretical and empirical advantages of the asset index over traditional welfare measures are clear, but that caution is needed. Most asset indices show significant improvements in private wealth and social welfare in African countries due to increases in the number of household assets and improvements in health and education. However, the authors argue that simplistic conclusions in the economics literature about the growth of income or of a "middle class" using asset indices are poorly founded. Notes, ref., sum.

VL - 21 IS - 1 U2 - w48 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This article analyses the Nigerian Supreme Court pronouncements in two cases: Mojekwu v. Iwuchukwu and Ukeje v. Ukeje. The Supreme Court in these two cases expressed conflicting views on the inheritance rights of women under Igbo customary law. In the latter case, it declared the lgbo customary law and practice, which disinherits women, as unconstitutional. But in the former, the court on the same issue held that customary law and practice is not repugnant to natural justice, equity and good conscience. Juxtaposing the two pronouncements, this article examines whether the pronouncement in the Ukeje case could be interpreted to mean that the Supreme Court has overruled its own decision in the Mojekwu case, in favour of women rights, or has only introduced some complementary principles in its judicial role in the protection of women's rights in Nigeria. The article argues that this issue notwithstanding, the pronouncement in Ukeje's case has cleared the way for the protection and implementation of women's rights, and should be sustained as such.

A binomial logistic model was fitted to a dataset of 472 customers. The findings identify that the loan officer, personal guarantors, age of customer, type of residence, type of collateral and assessment are key predictors of default. A test of the full model against a baseline model was statistically significant, indicating that the predictors, as a set, reliably distinguish defaulters and non-defaulters. The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) that measures the sensitivity and specificity of the model was significant. Using a hold out sample, the model is able to classify defaulters and non-defaulters with at least 80% accuracy. The model could serve as a tool to manage and improve loan application decisions and ultimately improve enterprise profitability of microfinance institutions. Bibliogr., sum.

Quantile regressions are employed to examine the relationships between exchange rates, consumer prices, treasury bill rate and money supply, and commodity prices such as gold, cocoa, and crude oil, on one hand, and returns on the Ghana stock market on the other hand from January 1992 to June 2015. The results generally show dependence of the equity market returns on all economic variables in the period before oil production in Ghana. However, variations exist in the post oil production period. The results further demonstrate how equity investors in Ghana can take advantage of gold as a safe-haven to diversify most downside risk in turbulent periods of the market.

VL - 3 IS - 45-66 : graf. U2 - w48 U3 - Abstract available N2 - It has become an undisputable fact in economics and finance that conventional exchange rate determination models cannot outperform the Random Walk Model (RWM) in out-of-sample forecasting. The authors evaluate the empirical veracity of this well-known fact in the West African Monetary Zone (WAMZ). They compare the out-of-sample forecast accuracy of the random walk hypothesis vis-a-vis the autoregressive integrated moving average (arima) model, Generalised Auto-Regressive Conditional Heteroskedastic (GARCH) based models, and Vector Auto-Regressive (VAR) model. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) is used as the measure of forecast accuracy. They find evidence to refute the body of economic literature that supports the view that forecasts from the RWM are unbeatable. They show that if a non-linear RWM is estimated, and the RMSE is used as the measure of forecast performance, the VAR model, the arima model, and the GARCH (-m) model generally outperform the RWM. However, when the assumption of linearity is sustained, the RWM convincingly outperforms all other models. They show that the type of model to use to achieve forecast accuracy depends on the time horizon, and the country for which the forecast is to be made. Bibliogr., sum.

The results provide evidence of a positive impact of dollarization on the volatility of nominal bilateral GHS/USD exchange rates. This suggests that as the demand for U.S. dollars becomes more extensive, the cedi/dollar exchange rate becomes more volatile and unstable. The asymmetry parameter implies that a positive shock in the underlying error term has the same effect as a negative shock of the same magnitude on the volatility function of the bilateral exchange rates. Addressing the increasing dollarization of the Ghanaian economy would be an appropriate policy to stabilise the cedi. Bibliogr., ref., sum.

VL - 21 IS - 1 U2 - w48 U3 - Abstract available N2 - As a branch of public international law, human rights law has historically been state-centric, with governments and public authorities traditionally understood as its exclusive subjects. However, in recent decades, there has been a development in human rights law towards the possible relaxation or extension of this norm to include also certain non-state actors (NSA). NSAs include non-governmental organizations (NGOs), paramilitary groups, terrorists, national liberation movements, intergovernmental organizations and private actors generally, including business entities. Taking the latter, and particularly the case of multinational corporations (MNCs), as its focus, this article will first present evidence of the increasing application to MNCs of human rights law norms and standards. From this basis, it will then argue that while this trend entails a degree of reconceptualization, it is still incomplete, which means that MNCs as non-state actors are not yet fully accountable to human rights standards. In conclusion, it argues that expectations that MNCs should or will be held accountable by identical mechanisms and to an identical standard as state actors are probably misplaced. The article uses the example of Shell in Nigeria to clarify its arguments. Notes, ref., sum.

VL - 3 IS - 4-27 : graf. U2 - w48 U3 - Abstract available N2 - The authors evaluate the impacts of the general African Growth and Opportunities Act (AGOA) and its provision on firm-level employment and productivity. Based on the Stolper-Samuelson theory, the authors hypothesize that AGOA would positively affect firm employment and productivity. Results show that while AGOA and its provision's impacts on employment are weak, they exert a positive impact on firm productivity. This productivity growth is due to a reallocation of economic activities from less productive to more productive firms. As sub-Saharan African countries consider new trade agreements, such as Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs), the paper recommends a review of important factors, such as customs efficiency, business licensing and permit delays, and regulation burden, as they will influence the extent to which firms can benefit from these agreements.

VL - 21 IS - 1 U2 - w48 U3 - Abstract available N2 - The misconception among the general public that women should not participate in politics is widespread, also in Nigeria. Politics is said to be the science of governance. It deals with distribution of resources and wealth in a given society. Those who decide how wealth and other resources are distributed among the masses enjoy a certain prestige, authority and power. For unjustifiable reasons, people believe that men have special skills that politics require while women are often excluded from politics and public life in general because of a myopic notion that they lack skills to participate in politics. Politics is said to be too rough a game for women. The thrust of this article is to review women's participation in politics in Nigeria in the pre-colonial and post-colonial eras. The article also examines the position of women in Islam, the role of women in politics from an Islamic perspective and factors affecting women's participation in politics in Nigeria. The article finally recommends some measures on how to ensure effective Muslim women's participation in Nigerian politics. Notes, ref., sum.

There is no well articulated legal protection against same sex marriage discrimination in Nigeria. Most Nigerians believe that homosexuality is a way of life that society should not accept, a position that has been widely criticized by human and civil rights organizations as well as the United Nations. This article examines same sex marriage in the Nigerian context from a human rights point of view. The article sets apart arguments for the recognition of same-sex relationships in Nigeria, then looks at anti-discriminatory protection in the country, and finally considers Nigeria's obligations under international law and human rights treaties, to which Nigeria is a signatory.

VL - 21 IS - 1 U2 - w48 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Different groups of people worldwide have great attachments to their customs and traditions. Section 21 of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) provides that the state shall preserve and promote those cultures which enhance human dignity and are consistent with the directive principles. While this section accords recognition to cultures and appears to protect the rights of each and every Nigerian to pursue cultural practices, there is need for a review of some of the practices that are inconsistent with the provisions of the constitution and other human rights principles as enshrined in the regional and international human rights instruments. The article examines how some traditional and cultural practices preserved in the name of custom pose critical and pervasive risks to the reproductive rights of women. It argues that the patriarchal nature of Nigerian society and the lack of empowerment and emotional dependence of women on men has negative consequences on the physical, psychological and mental health of women and reinforces their inferior status. It offers suggestions on how to bring an end to these practices. Notes, ref., sum.

U2 - w48 N2 - South Africa generates most of its energy requirements from coal, and is now the leading carbon emitter in Africa, and has one of the highest rates of emissions of all nations in the world. In an attempt to decrease its CO2 emissions, South Africa continues to research and develop alternative forms of energy, expand on the development of nuclear and has began to explore potentially vast shale gas reserves. In this mix, geothermal has not been considered to date as an alternative energy source. This omission appears to stem largely from the popular belief that South Africa is tectonically too stable. In this study, we investigated low-enthalpy geothermal energy from one of a number of anomalously elevated heat flow regions in South Africa. Here, we consider a 75-MW enhanced geothermal systems plant in the Limpopo Province, sustainable over a 30-year period. All parameters were inculcated within a levelised cost of electricity model that calculates the single unit cost of electricity and tests its viability and potential impact toward South Africas future energy security and CO2 reduction. The cost of electricity produced is estimated at 14 USc/KWh, almost double that of coal-generated energy. However, a USD25/MWh renewable energy tax incentive has the potential of making enhanced geothermal systems comparable with other renewable energy sources.
