- Description: Today, the west bank of the Buffalo River is a well-established industrial area. At the centre of this industrial complex is the Mercedes Benz South Africa production plant. Yet, over 40 years ago on the production site of this world reknowned motor manufacturer there was a small urban location which housed approximately 7000 African and Coloured residents. The village was known as Nongqongqo. According to Tankard (1990) it was the “original village and first official location of East London” and served primarily as a source of labour for workshops, transport and packing concerns in the East London harbour. The village, which was also known as the West Bank Location, was a stable and peaceful community that accommodated an ethnically mixed community of Xhosa, Fingoes (Mfengu), Pondos, Zulus, Sothos and so-called Coloured people. In 1965, the tranquillity of everyday life in this seaside village came to a rude and abrupt end when government bulldozers and trucks moved in to demolish the village. The inhabitants were forcibly resettled on the east bank of the Buffalo River and in the fledgling township of Mdantsane in the Ciskei. The removals were undertaken in accordance with the terms of the Bantu Administration Act No. 25 of 1945, Population Registration Act of 1950 and Group Areas Act of 1952 (cf. Booysen, 1995). The aim of this report is to investigate the social and historical circumstances that surrounded the destruction of this once vibrant seaside village. This report forms part of a process through which approximately 1400 original residents of Nongqongqo are seeking restitution for losses they incurred during this removal in terms of the Restitution of Land Rights Act of 1994. This report seeks to contribute to this process by contextualising the Nongqongqo removal within an historical understanding of the management of black urbanization in East London and by investigating the specific social, economic and political circumstances that led to the deproclamation of this location. However, in order to understand the impact of the removals, the article also attempts to reconstruct from oral and documentary sources a profile of the West Bank community in the years preceding the removal. Although the historical material on West Bank is sketchy, we have managed to assemble data that allows us to build up a fairly comprehensive socio-economic profile and residential arrangements in this community in 1955. This exercise in historical reconstruction, we believe, is essential for a meaningful assessment of the significance of the removals for those involved. In the final part of the article we begin to assess and aggregate the emotional, social and economic costs of the removals for the people of Nongqongqo. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

Conservation biology and management of the Twee River redfin, Barbus erubescens (Pisces : Cyprinide)

- Description: Agricultural practices and increasing levels of pollution, water abstraction and numbers of predatory exotic fishes gave rise to mounting concern for the survival of the already endangered Twee River redfin, Barbus erubescens. Numbers were believed to be dwindling and an urgent re-assessment of the species' conservation status and major threats was called for. Distribution and estimated numbers of B. erubescens were detennined from a census conducted in the Twee River catclunent, and baseline knowledge of age and growth, reproduction, diet and habitat preferences was gained from biological work on collected specimens. Such understanding was necessary to formullate management ideas. Although an estimated 40% reduction in area of occupancy has occurred in the middle reaches of the Twee River system, the known distribution of B. erubescens was extended into the upper Suurvlei River. Despite fragmentation, surviving redfin populations remained healthy and total population size was estimated at 8400 individuals, 4100 of which were considered mature. Adults preferred pools with water exceeding 1 m in depth and tended to be associated with sandy or boulder substrates. Due to low numbers no such study was conducted on juveniles, although observations indicated a preference for the upper 50 cm of the water column, in or around marginal vegetation. Barbus erubescens spawn in summer and follow an asynchronous, iteroparous pattern. Males and females reach a maximum age of six years, maturing after two years at calculated SL of 45 mm in males and 42 mm in females. The diet was dominated by simulid and ephemeropteran larvae. Although the combined pressures of pesticide and fertiliser use, predation and competition from exotic species have undoubtedly had a negative impact on B. erubescens, the species has maintained viable populations. With continued expansion of these threats the focus of conservation attention may change but, at present, it is most likely agricultural water use, amounting to 7.43 x 10⁶ m³y⁻¹, 15% of the entire catchment production, which poses the greatest immediate threat to the survival of the species. Based on a deteriorating habitat and restricted area of occupancy, B. erubescens was rated Critically Endangered, and it is recommended that a conservation management plan be implemented in the Twee River catchment. The focus of such action should be on genetic preservation, with immediate projects including gamete cryopreservation and captive breeding and rearing programmes. Catchment management, including education and rehabilitation programmes, must be the long-term aim of conservation, to ensure the survival of B. erubescens.

The role of indigenous knowledge in/for environmental education: the case of a Nguni story in the Schools Water Action Project

- Description: In March 1997 an indigenous knowledge story was included by the Schools Water Action Project (SWAP)partners in a resource pack for Water Week educational activities. This research developed as the result of an interaction between myself and some of the schools while we investigated water quality within Howick in the KwaZulu Natal Midlands. An interest in understanding the role of indigenous knowledge in/for environmental education developed. Some of the teachers and students involved in the water audit were requested to share their views on the role of indigenous knowledge in/for environmental education. From here the study broadened to also include interviews with elderly community members and environmental educators involved in materials development processes. This post-positivistic case study documents the views of a small sample of interviewees using the SWAP story entitled Sweet Water as a spring board towards a better understanding of indigenous knowledge within the school context, with a particular aim to inform educational materials development processes. The study displayed that a link which exists between indigenous knowledge and environmental education needs to be brought to the fore. This is likely to happen with the blurring of boundaries between home and school as learning contexts, a process which student interviewees emphasised, along with the need for respecting values that award respect to the environment. Elderly community members were of the view that they have a role to play in addressing educational problems such as interpersonal and intercultural respect. However, the study also raised several issues around the complexities surrounding indigenous knowledge processes, including its appropriation, commodification and reification.

An investigation into the anxiolytic properties of melatonin in humans

- Description: The purpose of this project was to investigate the role of melatonin in the pathophysiology of anxiety in humans. The literature study confirmed the intimate relationship between serotonin and melatonin. Melatonin is not only able to act as an agonist (in physiological concentrations) and an antagonist (at higher concentrations) on serotonin receptors but via control of brain pyridoxal kinase activity might have an effect on GABA, serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine synthesis. A clinical trial to investigate melatonin's effect on anxiety in humans was conducted as a pilot study. Thirty patients complaining of anxiety participated in a liN of 1" double blind placebo controlled trial. During the experiment each subject was thus exposed to melatonin and a placebo for a week at a time on two occasions. During the first phase of the experiment, (Pair '1) patients showed a statistically significant reduction in their anxiety levels during the first period (P1P1), which was not the case during the second period (P1P2). The improvement however continued during the second phase of the experiment (Pair 2) so that there was also a statistically significant improvement during P 2 P 2 (Period 2 / Pair 2) when placebo was administered. It could not conclusively be shown that melatonin was responsible for the improvement in the patients' anxiety. The explanation for these results suggests thelt the improvement was due to a: 1) placebo effect throughout, 2) psychotherapeutic effect due to contact with a clinician, 3) melatonin induced phase shift in the patient's endogenous melatonin response curve, 4) combination of all 3 options. This pilot study lays the groundwork for a much more exhaustive study in which the melatonin of the patients is determined before melatonin is administered, the role of the clinician is clarified and the most appropriate time for melatonin administration is sought .
