- 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: One explanation for the increasing prevalence of stunting in South Africa over the past 15 years while other development indicators have improved is that Big Food retail chains have been contributing to a low quality diet across the country, particularly in poor urban households. We thus use nationally representative longitudinal data (2008–2014) to trace 6 years of stunting’s evolution among South African children, adolescents, and young adults aged 0–19, with particular attention to how the prevalence of under-nutrition differs between urban and rural areas and how the drivers of poor nutrition vary spatially. The results of our random-effects logistic regressions on the nutritional impact of household agricultural production suggest that, conditional on household income, subsistence farming is associated with a lower probability of stunting. Even more important, although under-nutrition retains a strong spatial component, once observable differences in living standards are controlled for, the higher tendency for children in deep rural households to suffer from (severe) stunting reverses.
