- Description: This paper reports on an extended research project undertaken during the last two years. Mr R.J. Fincham, the project leader and author of the paper, published a Working Paper during 1981 which presented preliminary results of survey data collected in the Albany Magisterial District of the Eastern Cape. Subsequently, the scope of the project was broadened to include the whole Dias Divisional Council area of jurisdiction, and research methods were refined as a result of the first survey. The project was undertaken under the auspices of the Institute of Social and Economic Research of Rhodes University. Close cooperation with the Port Elizabeth Regional Office of the Department of Health was maintained throughout, and the involvement of the Regional Director, Dr J.D. Krynauw, as well as nurses on his staff, were available. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: Fifteen species of the labrid fish genus Halichoeres occur in the western Indian Ocean (west of the southern tip of India): hortulanus (centiquadrus of many authors), scapularis, (ziczac is a synonym), marginatus (lamarii, ianthinus and virescens are synonyms), dussumieri (nigrescens of many authors; javanicus, dubius and dianthus are synonyms), pardaleocephalus (first western Indian Ocean record), hoevenii (vrolikii is a synonym), nebulosus (previously confused with margaritaceus which does not occur in the Indian Ocean), zeylonicus (bimaculatus of most authors is a synonym), lapillus, and six new species (stigmaticus, pelicieri, cosmetus, iridis, trispilus, and leucoxanthus). H. stigmaticus from the Persian Gulf is distinctive in having 28 lateral-line scales, 6 or 7 suborbital pores, and a U-shaped black mark on side above pectoral fin tips in males; H. pelicieri from Mauritius is a close relative of H. zeylonicus, differing chiefly in the colour of males (pelicieri with a broad blackish zone in dorsal fin and no large black spot on upper side); H. cosmetus, wide-ranging in the western Indian Ocean and a close relative of H. ornatissimus of the Pacific and Cocos-Keeling Islands, is alternately striped with bluish gray to green and salmon pink or yellow; H. iridis, also a species of the western Indian Ocean, has a dark brown body except for a red band along the back and an orange-yellow head with green bands; H. trispilus, known only from Mauritius and the Maldives, is pale pink with a diagonal row of three dark brown spots on upper caudal base and usually three black dots on back; H. leucoxanthus, known only from the Maldives, southwest Thailand and Java, is yellow dorsally and abruptly white on ventral half of body with a dark spot behind the eye, a black spot on upper caudal base, and three others in the dorsal fin. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

- Description: While the Bantu Affairs Administration Board Act was passed by Parliament in 1971, it was not until July 1973 that responsibility for the execution of state policy towards blacks resident in urban areas was removed from the Eastern Cape municipalities and vested in the newly created Cape Midlands Administration Board. The Board's boundaries were announced in December 1972 after the recommendations of the Bantu Affairs Administration Boards Implementation Advisory Committee and were to consist of the magisterial districts of Port Elizabeth, Uitenhage, Kirkwood, Somerset East, Cradock, Bedford, Adelaide, Fort Beaufort, Stockenstrom, Victoria East, Albany, Bathurst, and Alexandria. The head office was based in Port Elizabeth. These boundaries remained unaltered until the amalgamation of the three administration boards in the greater Eastern Cape, Border and Karoo areas in 1979. Although the administration boards were to be primarily concerned with the administration of urban areas, they were also given responsibility for the administration of other aspects of policy towards blacks living in rural areas. Thus the Cape Midlands Administration Board estimated in 1973 that 327 601 persons were resident in the 20 urban areas within its jurisdiction while 163 312 blacks lived in the rural non-prescribed areas. This was a total of 490 913 persons. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: This paper reports on an investigation of the effects of the policy of Coloured Labour Preference in a rural area of the Western Cape. This policy, which has been analysed more fully elsewhere1, aims to restrict the number of black employees in the Western Cape, the region within which the policy is applied, by granting Coloureds preferential access to urban and rural labour markets. The Langkloof is a valley in which modern mechanised agricultural techniques are employed to specialise in the production of deciduous fruit, apples in particular. Farms are owned by whites, and the majority of farm workers are (classified) Coloured. A substantial number of black farm workers are also employed. The Kloof is served by two good roads and a narrow gauge railway linking the villages of the Kloof to Port Elizabeth. The Langkloof, moreover, is situated close to the boundary of the Western Cape, and therefore close to the line demarcating the region within which the policy of Coloured Labour Preference is applied. The investigation, which was executed in late 1980, included a number of visits to the Langkloof, interviews with officials of the Departments of Agriculture and Manpower, and of the Eastern Cape Administration Board, as well as a survey of white farmers' attitudes and practices. This survey was designed to elicit information relevant to the rural labour situation in the Langkloof, and to identify differences in attitudes and practices with regard to Coloured and black farmworkers. The focus of the survey was on the eastern half of the valley, commonly known as the Middel- and Onder-Langkloof. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: Communities which have been characterised by migrancy for a long period of time, such as the Xhosa and the Italians considered in this paper, develop sets 6f terms which describe migrants. The Xhosa have varied criteria for their categories, e.g. amajoyini - those on contract to mainly the mining and construction industries; abafuduga - those who deliberately sell up and go elsewhere; amagoduka - those who intend to return home; imfiki - impoverished migrants from white owned farms. Italians tend to view the crossing of international boundaries as the essence of migration and classify their migrants by the state in which they work e.g. Inglesi, Americani, rather than by the more complex terminology of the Xhosa. Some terms are simply descriptions, others are categories with wider connotations, into which people place others and themselves. As far as possible we shall use the peoples' own categories, which define their relationships to "home", the region to which they migrate and to migrancy as a way of life, as these have important implications for what happens at home. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: The territory known as Ciskei - an independent national state - and its de facto residents, known as Ciskeians, are the administrative, organisational and financial responsibility of the Ciskei government. As such, this government plans strategies aimed at promoting development for Ciskeians in its territory. Very broadly, 'development' is understood to mean the improvement of the life chances and living conditions of Ciskeians, and of poorer Ciskeians in particular (Ward, 1980). The Ciskei government, by its very nature, thus sees itself as intimately involved in the creation and implementation of a development strategy focussed on its territory. This paper has three interrelated aims. First, a demographic and socio-economic profile of Ciskei will be presented. This will be attempted by using such generally accepted indicators as trends in population, gross national product, unemployment rates, and per capita income. In addition, three types of classification will be introduced to sharpen this profile. Ciskeian resident communities will be grouped together, on the basis of their location and access to productive activities, into (i) urban communities, (ii) rural villages, and (iii) closer settlements. In the second place, cash- -earning workers will be grouped together, on the basis of their places of residence and of work, into (i) Ciskeian workers, (ii) frontier commuters (Riekert, 1979), and (iii) migrants. Finally, a distinction will be drawn between the income accruing to resident Ciskeian households (i) which is earned within Ciskei itself, and (ii) which is earned outside Ciskei. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: A rural development project is currently under way in the Amatola Basin, Ciskei. This paper introduces the project and outlines the socio-economic and agricultural conditions current in the area. An overview of present project activities is included. It then attempts to identify a number of potential and actual human and structural constraints operating on the implementation of the project. Such constraints arise out of the existing agricultural system in the project area, as well as out of the state bureaucratic structures operating in Ciskei, and the agency implementing the project itself. One aim is to identify the units involved in dryland cultivation. This is done by tracing ties of cooperation between cultivating households in one Amatola village. It will be shown, in this village at least, that the household does not form the main unit of cultivation. A second aim of this paper is to show that checks on rural development in general should not be sought solely within the area under consideration, but derive to an important degree from outside sources. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: A rural development project is currently under way in the Amatola Basin, Ciskei. This paper introduces the project and outlines the socio-economic and agricultural conditions current in the area. An overview of present project activities is included. It then attempts to identify a number of potential and actual human and structural constraints operating on the implementation of the project. Such constraints arise out of the existing agricultural system in the project area, as well as out of the state bureaucratic structures operating in Ciskei, and the agency implementing the project itself. One aim is to identify the units involved in dryland cultivation. This is done by tracing ties of cooperation between cultivating households in one Amatola village. It will be shown, in this village at least, that the household does not form the main unit of cultivation. A second aim of this paper is to show that checks on rural development in general should not be sought solely within the area under consideration, but derive to an important degree from outside sources. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: From Conclusion: During her remarkable scientific career, Margaret Smith has progressed from lecturer to technician, artist and taxonomist, and now enters a new phase in retirement as the senior editor of the revision of her husband’s book ‘The Sea Fishes of Southern Africa’. Up until the end of 1981, she had co-authored three books, edited three books and authored or co-authored 35 scientific papers and numerous popular articles. She had produced about two thousand colour and black and white illustrations of the fishes of southern Africa and the Western Indian Ocean. Four fish species have been named for her — Simochromis margaretae from Lake Tanganyika, Pseudocheilinus margaretae from Aldabra Island, Canthigaster smithae and Chlidichthys smithae from Mauritius and Trachurus margaretae from Durban. She has established a network of collaborating ichthyologists which is probably unique and which has resulted in the Ichthyology Institute in Grahamstown becoming a mecca for researchers in the field. Her infectious enthusiasm for fishes has also inspired a generation of anglers, naturalists, students, scholars and, especially, children in South Africa and abroad. We all salute this great lady, an accomplished musician, mother, artist, scientist, patriot, humanitarian, and above all, a humble and generous friend — Margaret Mary Smith.

- Description: This paper reports on a survey into the nutritional levels of young children living in a rural area of central Ciskei. The project was undertaken to advance two independent research initiatives, the one concentrating on nutritional levels of children in the Eastern Cape and Ciskei region, the second focussing on a comprehensive rural development programme in the Amatola Basin. Mr R.J. Fincham, the project leader and author of the paper, has during the last two years published two Working Papers reporting on comparable research projects in the Eastern Cape aimed at assessing health levels of young children. This programme has been undertaken with the close cooperation and help of the South African Department of Health. Sincere appreciation is due to Dr J.D. Krynauw, the Eastern Cape Regional Director, and nurses on his staff who undertook a large part of the fieldwork required by the project. The rural development programme is being executed by the Agricultural and Rural Development Research Institute of the University of Fort Hare in collaboration with residents of the Basin itself. Appreciation is also due to that Institute, to the clinic sisters of the Khomkulu clinic in the Amatola Basin, and to the mothers and other residents of the Basin who cooperated with the research team. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)
