The political economy of water - ownership and control This session will deal with the changing histories of water as a private or common good. In what way has water been seen as a commodity standing outside "normal" economic theories? Papers will also be presented examining how regional and national control of water resources have been embedded into patterns of economic and political control within and across national boundaries, and has stirred up territorial disputes. The session will also deal with institutional frameworks for solving the disputes over fresh water in different regional settings.

In the new urban culture during the fifties in the copper mining towns of Katanga province in southern Congo and on the Copperbelt in northern Zambia, the guitar became an important status symbol. The Katanga guitar style came from the rich likembe tradition of the Luba peoples, whereas on the Zambian Copperbelt the guitar songs are very diverse - being either traditionally based or heavily influenced by the mainly American music, popular in the fifties, played by the radio station specifically set up for African broadcasts.

ANGOLA - Endgame or Stalemate?
Occasional Paper No 30 - April 1998
INTRODUCTION
Late on 1 April, Antonio Dembo, the deputy president of the (UNITA), arrived in Luanda with three other senior officials of the party to reopen the UNITA office closed and largely destroyed during the fighting of 1992. UNITA spokesperson, Isaias Samakuva, said that Dembo had come to launch UNITA officially as a political party in the capital. The delegation would also " make every effort to create the conditions for Dr Savimbi to come to Luanda as soon as possible ." The delegation was met at the airport by Alioune Blondin Beye, the United Nations special envoy to Angola, and the ambassadors of the three powers that have helped to implement the Lusaka Protocol of 1994: the United States, Portugal and Russia. UNITA also announced that its radio station, 'Voice of the Black Cockerel' (Vorgan), would stop broadcasting that evening, in accordance with the latest agreements on the implementation of the peace timetable.
This timetable also made provision for UNITA's leadership, including Savimbi, to move to Luanda from the headquarters at Bailundo and Andulo and for the government to extend its control over those centres. A presidential spokesperson, however, seemed to concede that there would be some delay in achieving this, pending UNITA's preparations on the ground. He indicated that the government did not want a situation to arise in which the use of force became necessary.

CCAP - HARARE SYNOD
Wonder Kanyangira
It is a historic fact that the CCAP's identification as a Chewa church, has had some serious repercussions. Few indigenous people were found in the church. Our identity was based on national grounds. Our young people were told to keep this identity or suffer castigation by the church. I am happy to report that this may have changed because our serving ministers were all born in Zimbabwe and identify themselves as local people. But despite what appears to be a solution, many locals (especially the Shona and Ndebele) still resist coming to the CCAP Church. I believe this is caused by: 1) our continued use of the Chewa language in the church, and 2) a history of associating CCAP as a Chewa church. Ethnically, the Malawians are isolated and treated as though they cannot contribute to any national affair. This is sad as the Malawians constitute the second largest group in the country. We have tried to solve this isolation by bringing other languages to the church, indeed a positive move. Racial divisions have not been a problem of the CCAP church though in other churches it is indeed serious. I believe that racial divisions outside the church cannot be solved if the church has such divisions inside.

Institute of Economic and Social Research, University of Zambia Language Name: Bemba. Autonym: iciBemba. Alternate spellings: ciBemba, ChiBemba, ichiBemba. Location: Principally spoken in Zambia, in the Northern, Copperbelt, and Luapula Provinces; also spoken in southern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and southern Tanzania. Family: Bemba is a Central Bantu language. The Bantu language family is a branch of the Benue-Congo family, which is a branch of the Niger-Congo family, which is a branch of Niger-Kordofanian. Related Languages: Most closely related to the Bantu languages Kaonde (in Zambia and DRC), Luba (in DRC), Nsenga and Tonga (in Zambia), and Nyanja/Chewa (in Zambia and Malawi). Dialects: Principal dialects are: Aushi, Bemba, Bisa, Chishinga, Kunda, Lala, Lamba, Luunda, Ng'umbo, Swaka, Tabwa, and Unga. Each of these dialects is distinguished by its association with a distinct ethnic group, culture, and territory of the same name. Each dialect exhibits minor differences of pronunciation and phonology, and very minor differences in morphology and vocabulary. Because Bemba is such a widely used

State and local community in Central Western Zambia in the early 1970s The district was virtually inaccessible for modern means of transport until, in the 1930s, the Mankoya-Mumbwa all-weather road was built, then reducing the effective distanced to Lusaka (the new colonial capital) to only two or three days or driving. Meanwhile, as an indication of more comprehensive changes, this travelling time has been reduced to scarcely so many hours. Since the early 1970s, an excellent tar road has connected the district capital, also called Kaoma, with Mongu (Western Province’s provincial capital), and with the national capital. In 1973, a proud sign at the Kaoma exit read: ‘Kaoma District — Granary of Western Province’. And it was true that in terms of cash-crop output the district compared favourably with the other parts of this province, one of the more stagnant provinces in Zambia. This relative agricultural success was largely due to the efforts of peasant and ‘middle’ farmers belonging to the newcomer ethnic groups; the Nkoya had, until then, shown less initiative in the way of modern agricultural production. In Nkoya villages away from the tar road, the modern state at the time appeared to be rather absent from the surface of rural life. State initiatives in the field of agricultural extension work were viewed with suspicion by the villagers, and met with hardly any positive response. UNIP

Lunda-Chokwe
The Chokwe, until the latter half of the nineteenth century a small group of hunters and traders living near the headwaters of the Cuango and Cassai rivers, were at the southern periphery of the Lunda Empire and paid tribute to its head. In the latter half of the nineteenth century, the Chokwe became increasingly involved in trading and raiding, and they expanded in all directions, but chiefly to the north, in part absorbing the Ruund and other peoples. In the late nineteenth century, the Chokwe went so far as to invade the capital of the much-weakened empire in Katanga. As a consequence of this Chokwe activity, a mixed population emerged in parts of Zaire as well as in Angola, although there were virtually homogenous communities in both countries consisting of Chokwe, Ruund, or Southern Lunda. The intermingling of Lunda (Ruund and Southern Lunda) and Chokwe, in which other smaller groups were presumably also caught up, continued until about 1920. It was only after that time that the mixture acquired the hyphenated label and its members began to think of themselves (in some contexts) as one people. The languages spoken by the various elements of the so-called Lunda-Chokwe were more closely related to each other than to other Bantu languages in the Zairian-Angolan savanna but were by no means mutually intelligible. The three major tongues (Ruund, Lunda, and Chokwe) had long been distinct from each other, although some borrowing of words, particularly of Ruund political titles by the others, had occurred.

SEPT 24, 25, 2001
by Jim Kirkwood and John Van Mossel Introduction: Canada and Angola are both former colonies, Angola of the Portuguese; Canada of the French and British. By contrast, there are not many Angolans in Canada; immigration is difficult especially for refugees. A number of journalists have fled here as refugees. Many have done well here as students and workers. Hon. George Chikoti is an example. The Angolan expatriate community, being small, and often politically divided, makes popular support among Canadians harder to mobilize. 1. DIPLOMATIC RELATIONSHIPS: Canada, like Portugal, is a member of NATO. During the independence struggles in Africa after the Second World War, Canada supported Portugal and the other colonial powers until "5 minutes to midnight" of the hand-over to African government. Indeed with Portugal, even after midnight! Just 2 weeks ago in the Toronto Globe and Mail Column `News from 25 years ago today’ this item appeared: "In September 1976, "Canada signed an agreement with Portugal allowing Canadian troops in West Germany to train Portuguese units" Sept 12, 2001. Canada recognised the new state of Angola in 1977. Responsibility for Angola was lodged with the Embassy in Nigeria, until the mid-80's, when responsibility was shifted to the Canadian High Commission in Harare, where it still resides.

The Former Kingdoms The western bantou are at the origin of more Ancient kingdoms in Democratic Republic of Congo, the most known is the Kongo kingdom (15th century) and the other one is probably the Kuba kingdom (17th century). The oriental bantou began with the kingdoms Luba (16th century) and Lunda (17th century). The Kongo, Lunda, Luba, and Kuba state systems shared certain common features, I.The Kongo kingdom The Kongo Kingdom was the first state on the west coast of Central Africa to come into contact with Europeans. Portuguese sailors under Diogo Cao landed at the mouth of the Congo River in 1482 . Cao traveled from Portugal to Kongo and back several times during the 1480s, bringing missionaries to the Kongo court and taking Kongo nobles to Portugal in 1485. In the 1490s, the king of Kongo asked Portugal for missionaries and technical assistance in exchange for ivory and other desirable items, such as slaves and copperwares a relationship, ultimately detrimental to the Kongo, which continued for centuries. Competition over the slave trade had repercussions far beyond the boundaries of Kongo society. Slave-trading activities created powerful vested interests among both Africans and foreigners; the Portuguese and later the Dutch, French, British, and Arabs.

The Study of the African Sona Geometry as an Example of Ethnomathematical Research
1. Author's publications on Sona Geometry and Ethnomathematics
The following paper presents an introduction to the German language edition of the book "Sona Geometry: Reflections on the Sand Drawing Tradition of Peoples of Africa South of the Equator". The original edition was in three volumes in Portuguese (Universidade Pedagógica, Maputo, 1993/4): Volume 1 : Analysis and reconstruction;
Volume 2 : Mathematical and educational exploration;
Volume 3 : Comparative analysis. The first volume has already been published in English (Universidade Pedagógica, Maputo, 1994). The three volumes have been published in French in 1995 under the title "Une Tradition Géométrique en Afrique - Les Dessins sur le Sable" (Éditions L'Harmattan, Paris / Montreal, 594 pp.). The German language edition "Ethnomathematik dargestellt am Beispiel der Sona Geometrie" (Spektrum Verlag, Berlin / Heidelberg / Oxford, 1997, 436 pp., ISBN: 3-8274-0201-8) contains the three volumes in one book and was enlarged by an introduction on ethnomathematics as a field of research. It has a preface by Harald Scheid and Erhard Scholz (Bergische Universität, Wuppertal). An earlier book, in German, by the author on ethnomathematics was published in 1990 under the title "Ethnogeometrie. Kulturanthropologische Beiträge zur Genese und Didaktik der Geometrie" (Verlag Franzbecker, Bad Salzdetfurth /Hildesheim, 360 pp., ISBN 3-88120-189-0). It contains a preface by Peter Damerow (Max Planck Institut für Bildesforschung, Berlin), and is reviewed by Bernhard Andelfinger in 'Zentralblatt für Didaktik der Mathematik' (ZDM, Karlsruhe, 94/1, 22-24). Related to the educational use of the sona sand drawing tradition, the author also published the following books:
