▼ Depuis les années 1990, le Mozambique connaît des changements sociopolitiques importants qui se prétendent démocratiques. Ces changements ont constitué un bouleversement de l’environnement du fonctionnement de la police. Depuis lors, la police est objet des réformes dont le but de rendre son organisation et fonctionnement compatibles aux exigences du maintien de l’ordre dans ce nouveau contexte sociopolitique. Toutefois, ces réformes n’ont pas changé profondément les pratiques policières. En effet, la police continue violente malgré les réformes démocratiques qu’elle a bénéficié. Inscrit dans la sociologie d’État et de la Police, cette étude cherche à expliquer ce paradoxe. Elle soutient que la continuité des pratiques policières violentes n’est pas étranger à l’État démocratique en construction au Mozambique. Elle traduit les limites de celui-ci et la conjoncture sociopolitique que le pays traverse depuis la transition démocratique, caractérisée par l’essor de la violence sociale et politique. Le contrôle de cette violence, en plus de freiner les réformes démocratiques de la police, légitime la violence policière comme mécanisme de contrôle social et d’affirmation d’État.
From the year of 1990, Mozambique suffered profound changes which are called as being democratic. These changes constituted a change in the operating environment of the police. Since then, the police have come to be the object of reforms whose goal is to make this organization and operation compatible with the requirements of maintaining order in new socio-political context. However, these reforms did not change profoundly the police practices. Enrolled in the sociology of the State and the Police, the present study seeks to explain this paradox. He argues that the persistence of violent police practices is not contrary to democratic State under construction in Mozambique. It translates the limits of this and socio-political situation that the country has been experiencing since the democratic transition, characterized by the increase of social and political violence. The control of this violence, in addition to brake the democratic reforms of the police, justifies the repression and police violence as a mechanism of social control and of the affirmation of the State.

▼ M.Sc.
The ca. 800 km2 Tete Complex of NW Mozambique is located at the eastern end of the 830 ±30 Ma Zambezi Belt, near the transition zone into the Neoproterozoic Mozambique Belt. The Complex is located just south of the Sanangoe Shear Zone where Mesozoic and Late Palaeozoic cover rocks obscure much of the region. Country rocks immediately in contact with the Tete Complex include amphibolitic gneiss, graphite-bearing marble, calcsilicate gneiss, muscovite and biotite schist and quartzite of the Chidue Group. The Tete Complex may have been intrusive into the Chidue Group, although there is evidence inferring tectonic emplacement. Those few contact exposures that exist are equivocal. Some of the rocks within the Tete Complex have been affected by metamorphism up to amphibolite grade, although large proportions of the rocks retain pristine magmatic mineralogy and texture. The Tete Complex contains mafic, ultramafic and anorthositic rocks, dolerite dykes and minor Fe-Ti oxide-rich rocks that occur as rubble. Pyroxenite occurs as thin (<1-2 m), cumulate layers within gabbroic rocks. Most exposed anorthositic rocks occur in the Nyangoma area in the eastern part of the Tete Complex. The anorthosites and leucotroctolites are massive, coarse grained (2-3 cm), and contain plagioclase (An47-An57) megacrysts up to 10 cm in length, interstitial olivine (Fo59-Fobs) and orthopyroxene (En59- En75, mean A1203 = 1.84 wt.%) rimmed by clinopyroxene (mean = Wo 46En38Fs i6), pyrite and Fe-Ti oxides. Secondary biotite, iddingsite, epidote and green spinet are present. The stable coexistence of olivine and plagioclase limits the depth of emplacement to <7-8 kbar, or <20- 25 km; a relatively shallow level of emplacement is favored by the generally fine grain size of the gabbroic and doleritic rocks. Compositions of coexisting plagioclase and mafic silicates (orthopyroxene and olivine) are similar to those of massif-type anorthosites. Previously unmapped meta-anorthosite occurs along the western and northern margin (within the Sanangoe Shear Zone) of the Tete Complex and has been metamorphosed to amphibolite grade. The rock contains plagioclase (An38-An39), with the more Ab-rich compositions related to the formation of garnet (mean = A1m67GrotsPYI6Sp2). Metamorphic orthopyroxene (Enso-En53), clinopyroxene (mean = Wo37En38Fs25), mizzonitic scapolite (Me63), amphibole, biotite and apatite are present. High Cl contents in amphibole, scapolite and biotite (e.g., up to 4.7 wt. % in amphibole), suggest that a Cl-rich metamorphic fluid infiltrated the western margin of the Tete Complex. Olivine melagabbro from the north-central part of the Tete Complex contains plagioclase (An70-An26), olivine (Fo82-Fos4) and clinopyroxene (mean = WanEn1Fs0.2, mean A1203 = 2.56 wt. %), with primitive compositions compared to those in Nyangoma anorthositic rocks and pyroxenites. Pyroxenites are modally dominated by clinopyroxene (mean = Wo46-48En36-39Fsi3-18) with accessory interstitial plagioclases (Ano-An45) and discrete and exsolved orthopyroxenes (En 56-En75).…

▼ The wealth of information available on the Internet holds the potential to aid development in Africa. In order to be effective, such information needs to be contextualised to respond to local needs and practices. The combination of old and new media can support uptake and improve acceptance of new technologies in developing countries. The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the perceived usefulness of agricultural information sought on-line and broadcast via community radio in the two Community Multimedia Centres (CMCs) of Namaacha and Murrombene, in rural Mozambique. The data was generated from focus group discussion, individual interview, document analysis, and observation involving farmers and radio presenters. The study has shown that on-line agricultural information responds to the needs of the farmers because it contributes to eliminate pests and help farmers to make decisions about their activities. The study has also shown that there is a communication gap between farmers, extension workers, and volunteer reporters working at the community radios of the two CMCs. Volunteers have no agricultural knowledge. The problem this creates manifests itself primarily when they try to translate on-line agricultural information from Portuguese into local languages. Farmers have difficulties expressing their problems. Extension workers are not available to act as experts and mediators between volunteers and farmers. A collaborative website focusing on locally relevant content was suggested as a possible improvement.

▼ This study addressed a gap in knowledge about the outcomes of in-kind agricultural microcredit projects on the welfare of the poor and ultra-poor smallholders. This research focused on an in-kind agricultural micro-credit project in Marrambajane village (Ch6kwe district, in southern
Mozambique). Within the framework of the project, beneficiaries were given in-kind credit (seeds, fertilizer) to grow cash crops (tomatoes, onion, cabbage). To participate in the project farmers joined an Association which was part of a larger Union of Associations. The study measured the changes in material wellbeing of beneficiaries and development of social capital as a result of participation in the project. Material wellbeing was measured through income gene~ation and acquisition of assets through participation in the project. In addition, the sustainability of the intervention was also assessed. The study made use of a case study design adopting both quantitative and qualitative methods. Multiple data collection tools were used to collect data. Participatory methods were used to develop a wellbeing ranking of beneficiary households. A questionnaire was administered with beneficiaries (farmers) as the primary unit of analysis; this was used primarily to measure acquisition of assets and levels of trust in Association and Union. Data on amount of income generated and credit owed was compiled from the project archives. Observation was used to assess condition ofinfrastructure and equipment. The microfinance triangle model was used to evaluate whether the project had achieved poverty outreach, improved the welfare of participants and was financially sustainable. Findings showed that the project led to slight increase of income and household asset value. This increase of income and growth of household asset value was exclusively observed during the period of project implementation (2001-2004), and one year after the end of sponsorship (2005). While participating in the project, households ranked as 'rich' and 'middle' received 1.2 times more credit and 1.6 times more income was generated compared with 'poor' and 'poorest' households. While there is no evidence of a difference in average median number of items bought in each of the wellbeing categories, the monetary value of the items acquired appeared to correlate with household wellbeing categories. The project was successful in building social capital through formation and legalisation of Associations integrated into one fanners Union, the Union of Association Uamechinga. However, high levels of trust between the beneficiaries and project technicians and between the beneficiaries and the Union management team were not achieved. The project collapsed in late 2005. Based on my analysis I argue this occurred because of multiple factors. Firstly, the emphasis on farming tomatoes, a high return but unpredictable cash crop, was problematic. A more effective project design would include production of tomatoes in combination with more reliable crops such as rice and beans. Secondly, the…

▼ Post-colonial states in Africa continue to pursue nation-building and socio-economic development. This process is taking place with the sustained support of global agencies in terms of development cooperation, assistance and aid. Insofar as an endogenous development path which speaks to national priorities can be formulated and implemented by post-colonial states, their relationship with these agencies raises serious questions about such a path if the relationship entails dependence and indeed subordination of post-colonial states. This raises important questions about state autonomy under post-colonial conditions and the possibility of autonomy being compromised. In this light, the thesis examines European Union budget support to Mozambique and, in particular, the relationship between EU budget support and Mozambique state autonomy in pursuing national development. This is particularly pertinent given the massive dependence of the Mozambican state on foreign funding (notably EU funding) with specific regard to the national budget. Despite the broad claims existing in the prevailing literature that nation-state autonomy is seriously undermined in and through the international development system, the thesis argues against reductionist arguments that simply posit post-colonial states as mere instruments of global forces. This system, including European Union budget support, does indeed set the conditions of existence for post-colonial states such as Mozambique. But autonomy is necessarily relative and is subject to different forms and degrees. Ultimately, it is through empirical investigation that the specific form and degree of autonomy can be pinpointed and understood. The thesis contributes to this endeavour and suggests that the relationship between European budget support and Mozambican state autonomy is more complex and tension-riddled than the prevailing literature would seem to suggest.

▼ The study undertaken was an attempt to provide information on the effect that oceanographic features common in the Mozambique Channel have on primary production. Oligotrophic conditions dominated the Mozambique Channel at the time of sampling and the introduction of nutrients into the euphotic zone by upwelling processes were identified as cyclonic eddies. Differences in physico-chemical variables between surface and F-max across all sites proved to be stronger than the physico-chemical variables between 4 grouped oceanographic features. This was revealed by stronger variations in phytoplankton community structure and chlorophyll a concentration between surface and F-max compared to oceanographic features sampled. One of the hypotheses presented for the study was that diatoms would dominate phytoplankton communities within a cyclonic eddy. This was not the case as the coccolithophorid, Emiliania huxleyi Lohmann (Hay and Mohler 1967) dominated F-max and surface water in the cyclonic eddies and most other sites. Phytoplankton community structure did not differ significantly between the oceanographic features sampled which contradicted another one of hypotheses presented in the study. Chlorophyll a concentration in surface water of the cyclonic eddies was significantly higher than in surface waters within the anti-cyclonic eddy. F-max was not significantly different in phytoplankton biomass between these two system types. The cyclonic eddies and anti-cyclone had similar phytoplankton diversity which did not verify the hypothesis that there would be less phytoplankton species diversity within cyclonic eddies compared to the anti-cyclonic eddy. Phytoplankton community structure differed between F-max (depth at which maximum chlorophyll a is found) and the surface. This phytoplankton community difference was linked to differences in physico-chemical variables between the two depths. The diatoms Thalassionema nitzschioides, Pseudo-nitzschia sp.A, Pseudo-nitzschia sp.B, Thalassiosira sp.C, Thalassiosira sp.E, Bacteriastrum furcatum, Guinardia cylindrus, Nitzschia closterium, Hemiaulus hauckii, and Nitzschia braarudii revealed the only discernible ecological similarity amongst phytoplankton species across all sites and depths. This is important as it revealed that these species were regularly found occupying similar depths and potentially similar physico-chemical ranges in the water column which suggest these diatom species responded to a dominant source of variation. Distribution patterns of species and of ecologically defined groups support the hypothesis that diatom species and assemblages are good indicators of the changing character of an upwelling system. These statements lead to the assumption that the diatom grouping found in this study indicates areas of upwelling where water temperatures are reduced and nutrients are more readily available. One must keep in mind that ordination techniques are only descriptive and no significance is tested. The coccolithophorid D. anthos and the dinoflagellate Phalacroma spp. were…

▼ Nederland ging in 1973 over tot het geven van ontwikkelingshulp aan de bevrijdingsbeweging Frelimo, de latere regeringspartij van
Mozambique. Na de onafhankelijkheid van
Mozambique in 1975 richtte Frelimo
Mozambique in als een communistische staat. Ondanks dat het Nederlandse buitenlands beleid er via het NAVO-bondgenootschap op gericht was een anticommunistische houding aan te nemen, steunde de Nederlandse regering deze jonge communistische staat met tientallen miljoenen guldens per jaar. Minister J.P. Pronk was op dat moment minister voor Ontwikkelingssamenwerking en hij was verantwoordelijk voor de ontwikkelingsrelatie. Belangrijke oorzaak voor de hulp is de invloed van de solidariteitsbeweging, het Angola-Comité. Deze beweging onderhield warme banden met de top van Frelimo, maar ook binnen regeringspartij PvdA hadden ze veel contacten. Deze beweging schilderde de situatie in
Mozambique veel te rooskleurig af en deed het communisme af als een "wetenschappelijk socialisme". De beeldvorming die zij schetsten, bepaalde mede het regeringsstandpunt inzake
Mozambique en is volgens dit onderzoek één van de redenen waarom de Nederlandse regering nauwelijks aandacht schonk aan structurele mensenrechtenschendingen in
Mozambique. De communistische eenpartijstaat duldde immers geen politieke tegenstand.

Revitalization of the Baixa de Maputo (Mozambique) through dense informal housing:.

▼ The heart of the Baixa de Maputo, the place where the city originated from and which now is both the historical centre and part of the Maputo CBD, is under threat of 1.) further deterioration (socially and physically); 2.) losing its identity to the rapid growth of large scale real estate development and 3.) the quickly expanding number of cars in Maputo.
To treat these three issues simultaneously, I propose small scale “acupunctural” interventions aimed specifically at imposing functions on currently vacant sites in the heart of the Baixa. In due time, this will turn the tide of the general deterioration, which is partly due to vacant plots being inhabited by homeless, causing a dirty and generally unsafe environment. Introducing a function of “informal living” on one of the vacant plots offers a solution to both the vacancy of the plot and the dirty environment. Moreover, the large scale property development on the edges of the heart of the Baixa will force only more semi-homeless away from their makeshift homes and onto the streets. Not offering these people a suitable alternative will only further deteriorate the streetscape of the Baixa. By introducing these small scale interventions the character of the heart of the Baixa can be maintained, protecting it from further large scale property development. Encouraging people to live in the Baixa can eventually help limit the number of people having to travel into and away from the Baixa daily.
The design can be summarized as followed: to provide a structure for ‘urban informal living’, adapting the informal settlement typology into a dense urban context.
Based on four ‘pillars’ (uitgangspunten):
1.) an alternative for living on the streets or far outside the Baixa, offering a place to sleep, work and recreate and thus have people ‘living’ in the Baixa;
2.) to be sustainable and self-sufficient (water and waste), to limit costs and react to the currently unstable water and sewage system;
3.) the growing building typology, typical for the informal settlements on the outskirts of the centre of the city, and allowing inhabitants to start off with a very small home, and building on to it as their wealth and family increases;
4.) to be flexible in use over time, to easily adapt to a new function if first function is not successful.

▼ In
Mozambique, rural poverty is visible in the statistics and in real life. According to UNDP (2005), the index of Mozambique’s human development ranked 172 out of 177 countries and was far below the averages of the sub-Saharan Africa and Least Developed Countries, despite considerable improvement in the indicator over the previous five years. It had been determined that 54% of the population lived below the poverty level of 1/day surviving on as little as US0.40 per day in 2003 (UNDP, 2005). The population distribution in
Mozambique remained predominantly rural; with 64% of the 21.4 million people living in the countryside. The development prospects of rural areas remained a key concern (UNDP, 2005).
Development was also a key problem for me. For this study it was decided to select a specific problem, the role of the traditional leaders in development, and a special case, a traditional chief - João Mapanguelana Mondlane, nominated in 1949. Between 1960 and 1974 Mapanguelana inaugurated a settlement scheme and a cooperative in the Aldeia das Laranjeiras north of Mandlakazi in Gaza province. I selected this case because several approaches assume that the nature of the relationship between key local development actors and communities has an impact on the development conditions observed at any point in time of the rural areas.
From this case study, I can conclude that the involvement of the local leaders with legitimacy and credibility in the community and modern social and administrative networks was the key point that made it possible for the Aldeia das Laranjeiras to be different from her neighbouring villages.
During the colonial period the government in
Mozambique recognized the significance of traditional leadership as a way to reach the people and make their rule effective and legitimate, specifically in the rural areas. After independence, the new Frelimo government banned traditional leadership and accused it of having collaborated with colonialists and of practicing exploitative actions. In 2000, the Mozambican government reversed the earlier approach, particularly in line with policies that aim at carrying out developmental projects in the districts, and established legal procedures for the nomination of community representatives. The review of the literature and the findings suggest that
Mozambique followed the new trends of incorporating the traditional leadership in the rural local governance as a way to reach rural economic development.
The aim of this study is to assist policy makers in developing countries especially in Africa, and more specifically in
Mozambique, in focusing on the problem of involving the local leaders in the struggle to reduce poverty in the rural areas where most of the population is located.

▼ This study considered aspects of the vegetation of the coastal zone of southern Mozambique, an area with a rich biodiversity. The vegetation and flora were assessed in their current state including the associated anthropogenic pressures. The environmental conditions that determined the distribution of the vegetation were evaluated. A hierarchical classification, description and ecological interpretation of the vegetation and flora of the coastal zone in southern Mozambique are presented. Analysis was based on 242 sample quadrats that were distributed in a stratified manner throughout the study area. The vegetation could be grouped into six distinct types of vegetation: Dune Forest, Coastal Forest, Coastal Grassland, Coastal Miombo, Coastal Savanna and Coastal Woodland. Species diversity was high for the all the vegetation types, particularly in the woody elements. A total of 673 species in 410 genera was recorded. They represented 104 families with Fabaceae and Rubiaceae being the most common. Of these, 6.6% were endemic or near-endemic to the coastal zone of southern Mozambique with Coastal Forest being the habitat with the greatest endemism. All soils from different vegetation types had poor agricultural potential. Soil properties were the strongest defining environmental feature separating the vegetation types: e.g. pH was high in Dune Forest compared to the others. Results from Maxent modelling suggest that the distribution of endemic species is influenced by a combination of climatic and non-climatic variables. Soil type, temperature annual range and precipitation of the driest month were the most important predictor variables. Overlaying the potential distributions of the seven selected species indicated two areas of abundance of endemic species – these should be given attention for conservation. Endemic species are not well protected in southern Mozambique – their sampled and potential habitats are largely outside protected areas. Hence, additional reserves should be created to improve their protection. Most endemic and near-endemics species were found in the south, from Ponta de Ouro (Matutuine, south of Maputo Province) to Manhica district (north of the Maputo Province) forming part of the Maputaland Centre of Endemism. A second concentration of endemism was found in the Inhambane Province, specifically the Inhassoro and Vilanculos districts. This is proposed to be an Important Plants Area (IPA). Because most endemics and near-endemics are found in the Coastal Forest, their main threat is harvesting for charcoal production, although none of the endemic species are specifically targeted for charcoal production. In Inhambane they are also threatened by the tourism industry, agriculture and settlements. The impact of the habitat destruction on endemic species is expected to cause severe declines in the near future. The tourism industry and harvesting of trees for charcoal production and over-frequent fires are the main drivers of vegetation loss in this region. Shifting agriculture, harvesting for firewood and…

▼ In Mozambique, establishment of aquatic weeds has been enhanced through the increased enrichment of water bodies by nutrient runoffs from human and agricultural wastes that lead to an increase in nitrate and phosphate in the water. The aquatic weeds, water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), red water fern ( Azolla microphylla), water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) and salvinia (Salvinia molesta) were found in most watercourses in Mozambique and are becoming aggressive in some watercourses, especially in the Umbeluzi and Incomati rivers. Farmers and people living along the rivers are aware of the negative impact of the water weeds because the large mats of weeds cause loss of shoreline and navigability along the rivers. Other commonly perceived effects of aquatic invasive plants in Mozambique rivers include: reduced navigable surface area; difficulties for fishermen, which reduces income; increased prevalence of insects and insect-borne disease, and decreased aesthetic value. The methods currently used for the control and management of the aquatic weeds are mechanical and manual control. Both methods are costly, time consuming, and only provide a short-term solution to the problem. The study found that the weevils Neochetina eichhorniae and N. bruchi were effective biological control agents in the study area but their impact is too gradual compared to the aggressive proliferation of water hyacinth. The one year lab-experiment clearly demonstrated that the water lettuce weed had a significant impact on the recruitment of macro-invertebrates to the artificial substrates, and water lettuce contributed to the reduction of oxygen in the water and consequent reduction of macro-invertebrate abundance and diversity. The biodiversity recovered at the same time in the pools containing water lettuce controlled by N. affinis and water lettuce controlled by herbicide, but richness and diversity of macro-invertebrates was higher in the water lettuce controlled by N affinis during the first sampling occasion compared to the water lettuce in pools controlled by herbicide, where macro-invertebrates increased only when DO levels recovered after water lettuce mat decay. The number of taxa recorded in this study is an indication of the significance of macro-invertebrates in an aquatic environment. This therefore emphasizes the need for more research efforts into macrophyte and macro-invertebrate associations in the aquatic system to better understand the implications of habitat modification arising from human activities. It will also enable us to be better equipped with a more appropriate ecological understanding for aquatic resources management.

▼ In recognition of the crucial role irrigation plays in stabilizing agriculture production in the
face of erratic rainfall that often affects
Mozambique, the Government has, since national
independence in 1975, implemented several policies regarding irrigation development. Yet,
the country is still struggling to expand the area equipped for food crop irrigation. In
particular, the formulation and implementation of irrigation policies has faced constraints in
the expansion and effective use of irrigated land to ensure increased food production. Despite
this, there has not been a systematic effort to consistently document and identify constraints
and enablers of irrigation policies and development in to support evidence-based policy
dialogue and interventions. This study intends to fill this gap. It does this through an
analytical historical trajectory of the irrigation subsector, paying particular attention to critical
factors affecting the effectiveness of irrigation policies in contributing to the expansion and
effective use of irrigated land to enhance agriculture’s contribution to food production and
food security in
Mozambique. A qualitative approach is employed in which a review of the
existing literature and official documents, along with secondary data collection, is augmented
with interviews of key informants and expert opinions.
The analysis posits that the ability of irrigation policies to effectively contribute to an
expansion and improvement of irrigated production can be enhanced through addressing
issues of policy weaknesses, limited investment resources to expand irrigated land,
inadequate public institutional support to the irrigation subsector, especially at field level,
limited involvement of the private sector in irrigation, weak farmers’ organizations (FOs) and
water users associations (WUAs) on irrigated land as well as weak information and
knowledge generation and sharing among relevant stakeholders. These issues are particularly
pertinent in light of the anticipated implementation of the 2010 Irrigation Strategy. The role,
cooperation and partnerships among Government, private sector, FOs/WUAs and
development partners need to be taken into account in the formulation and implementation of
public irrigation policies. Overall, it is important to note that the success of irrigation depends
critically on other agriculture sector-wide policies, suggesting that it is important to have a
comprehensive agricultural development policy in place.

▼ Marine and coastal ecosystems face widespread degradation largely because market failure hides the economic value of the goods and services provided by them. Marine protected areas (MPAs) can serve as a structure that ensures the continuing function of marine and coastal ecosystem goods and services. Yet, to be effective and sustainable, MPAs must be able to prove their economic worth and generate revenue. User-fees are a common system used to partially finance multi-use MPAs. This study applies contingent valuation as a method of economic valuation within an MPA in southern
Mozambique. The objectives of this study are to determine the willingness to pay of combined user groups and of individual user groups for use of the Ponta do Ouro Partial Marine Reserve and to investigate the potential for the reserve to increase revenues for conservation through the implementation of a user-fee for marine based activities. The payment card contingent valuation method was employed to determine willingness to pay of dolphin swim tourists, scuba divers and fishermen. Data was collected by face-to-face interviews of 120 respondents within two popular tourist locations in the PPMR. Results show that visitors within the PPMR are mainly South Africans, loyal to the area. Probit and OLS regressions were used to determine the effects of various independent variables on willingness to pay. Results from the Probit model indicate that African
residency, activity and environmental awareness were significant factors that
influenced visitors being WTP more than R20 per person per day as a user fee within the PPMR. The OLS model examined independent variables that influenced visitors being willing to pay as well as the impact of the variables on the amount visitors were willing to pay. The OLS model found income, African residency and environmental awareness to be significant factors influencing visitors being willing to pay. The mean WTP was R43.75 per person per day. Using data supplied by the PPMR, conservative estimated annual revenues based on the implementation of this fee amount would range between R1.46m – R 3.3m.

▼ M.Sc. (Botany)
Global efforts to protect the world’s forests from unsustainable and inequitable exploitation have been undermined in recent years by rampant illegal logging in many timber-producing countries. A prerequisite for efficient control and seizure of illegally harvested forest product is a rapid, accurate and tamper proof method of species identification. DNA barcoding is one such a tool, relatively simple to apply. It is acknowledged to bring about accuracy and efficiency in species identification. In this study a DNA barcode reference library for traded and protected tree species of southern Africa was developed comprising of 81 species and 48 genera. Four primary analyses were conducted to assess the suitability of the core barcodes as a species identification tool using the R package Spider 1.2-0. Lastly, to evaluate this identification tool, query specimens independently sampled at a Mozambican logging concession were identified using DNA barcoding techniques. The nearest neighbour (k-NN) and best close match (BCM) distance based parameter yielded 90% and 85% identification success rate using the core plant barcodes respectively. DNA barcoding identification of query specimens maintained a constant 83% accuracy over the single marker dataset and the combined dataset. This database can serve as a backbone to a control mechanism based on DNA techniques for species identification and also advance the ability of relevant authorities to rapidly identify species of timber at entry and exit points between countries with simple, fast, and accurate DNA techniques.

▼ M.Tech. (Architectural Technology)
This dissertation looks at the problems associated with the mining industry and aims to find an architectural solution that is able to plug-in to the scenario in order to improve the current situation in the social realm and that can promote the empowerment of the communities in which mining occurs. The intention is the creation of a local identity In architecture through construction processes and through leaning from the local inhabitants of the place. The design and development of a jewellery school is envisaged as an appropriate intervention with the capacity to facilitate the strengthening of social ties and networks as well as to create a sense of belonging within the community. Important points of departure include: community involvement In the construction of the building; a focus on ergonomic design and attention to detail. The resulting findings were conducted in Manica, Manica Province, Mozambique,a town which is located 20 km from the Mashipanda Border post bordering Zimbabwe and Mozambique.

▼ One of the greatest problems Mozambique is currently facing is the increased involvement of
sectors in producing large amounts of solid waste on a daily basis. These sectors are involved in
activities that take place in homes, industry, mining, agriculture and commerce. As a result, this
problem needs to be treated efficiently by the Municipality of Maputo. Solid waste produced
each day in Maputo is not only an aesthetic problem but poses a threat to citizens' health and it
damages the environment. With the production of large amounts of waste each day, the
Municipality of Maputo is faced with an ineffective solid waste management system. This
ineffectiveness is due to a number of reasons, which include lack of resources, inadequate or no
staff training, poor management of solid waste by both the municipal and the government,
inappropriate laws to regulate solid waste collection, poor control of such laws in terms of
removal and disposal of the waste, using past colonial methods for dealing with solid waste and
poor community involvement, The problem not only affects the Municipality of Maputo but it
also affects both citizens and the environment. Ineffective solid waste management is linked to poor management, lack of resources, poor staff
training, and unskilled public officials.
The city gets dirtier as the amount of waste increases day by day, due to the fact that citizens
living in rural areas have immigrated to the city looking for work after the civil war, which took
place between 1977 and 1994. Emerging from a severely damaged war-torn economy,
Mozambique is still in the process of reconstituting many of its public institutions. Communities, local government, industry, commerce, civil society, academics and religious
organisations can no longer turn a blind eye to poor solid waste management. Instead, they need
to join to fight against poor management of solid waste.
The current situation demonstrates that too few individuals, non-profit organisations and private
companies are involved in solid waste management activities. Effective solid waste management
can only be effective if it engages all producers of waste and captures the policy strategies,
planning and challenges of sustainable development.

▼ This study is a conceptual analysis of power-sharing. It applies power-sharing in the context of Mozambique. The study is informed on the premise that components of power sharing contribute to the duration of peace. However, findings from empirical investigations show that certain types of power sharing are associated with more durable peace than others, primarily through their positive effects on governance and public service delivery. The specific objectives of the study were to contextualize the concept of military power sharing arrangement; to explore the challenges faced in implementing the military power sharing arrangement in Mozambique; to explore the strategies used to manage the Mozambique peace process; to ascertain the challenges faced by the BDF during the reintegration standardized training of FRELIMO and RENAMO forces; and to propose recommendations for future interventions. In order to achieve these objectives, the study used a purposive sampling technique to assemble participants that provided useful data for the study. The target population was made up of members of the Botswana Defence Force (BDF) who participated in the United Nations Peace Mission in Mozambique dubbed UNOMOZ; and those who conducted the reintegration standardized training of FRELIMO and RENAMO military personnel Thematic analysis of the participants’ responses from the interviews was used to address the objectives of the study. The findings of the study reveal that poorly trained military personnel were a challenge to the implementation of power sharing deal in Mozambique. Also, there was a lack of trust and confidence between constituent parties, and a lack of transitional authority in holding forth power until the power sharing deal was fully implemented. In addition, the study found out that there was the problem of language barrier, and that very little counselling was offered to those who were traumatized by the conflict. Also, there was a kind of unwillingness by civilians to accept former combatants in their midst and a lack of logistics for both the peace keepers and the combatants. Among others, the study recommended that NGOs, civil society organizations, and churches should be more pro-active in engaging the government and not only ensuring that every party involved in the power-sharing deal fulfills its role, but also organizing and carrying out counselling sessions for ex-combatants as part of reintegration process.

This study, entitled "Stakeholders Perceptions about their Educational Contributions of GNP in Mozambique" focused on stakeholders of Nhambita buffer zone in the Province of Sofala. My interest in conducting such an investigation stemmed from the fact that when started this research I was working at the center for sustainable development of natural resources (CDS-RN) in Chimoio. — Manica Province and had Gorongosa National Park (GNP) as our pilot project. I realized that there were different stakeholders involved with the Park as well as the communities around it and not that much was done to improve their quality of life. Therefore, there was a need to conduct an inquiry which could lead to identifying the real reason underpinning the stakeholders not to do much and to afterwards draw some conclusions to modify the methodologies in order to change stakeholders' perceptions. In this regard, I conducted interviews and questionnaires in the community and with some stakeholders at Nhambita community, followed by data analysis of research data representing the stakeholders, community members, GNP and also to empower all participants. Hopefully, an educational programme would result from the consensus among all interested parties in the process with the objective of improving the citizen's life.

▼ Infrastructure is an important foundation for urban sustainability. Infrastructure includes both a system of institutions like banks and hospitals (known as social infrastructure) and a network of physical utilities like water and power grids (known as physical infrastructure). Social infrastructure allows households to access social services while physical infrastructure allows households to access physical resources. A lack of household access to either social or physical infrastructure can make a household vulnerable to poverty. Maputo provides one example of this relationship. The city is characterised by a dualistic split between a formal downtown core and informal peri-urban areas. The households in the formal areas of Maputo tend to have a greater access to both social and physical infrastructure, while households in the informal areas tend to have reduced access to both. In Maputo, a lack of household access to social and physical infrastructure also increases the odds that a household will be food insecure. This means that inconsistent infrastructure access seems to predispose a household to food insecurity.
Using household survey data collected from 2071 households in Maputo, this investigation applied binary logistic regression analysis to predict three measures of household food insecurity: the Household Dietary Diversity Score, the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale, and the Months of Adequate Household Food Provisioning. Two sets of independent variables were used in this analysis: inconsistent household access to physical and social infrastructure (measured by inconsistent access to water, electricity, medical care, and a cash income) and a set of social vulnerability indicators (the sex, education, and employment status of the household head, low household income, household size, dwelling informality, and the chronic illness of a household member).
The results demonstrate that households with inconsistent access to infrastructure have greater odds of being food insecure even while controlling for income level, the presence of chronic illness, household size, dwelling informality, or the gender of the household head. The relationship is also very reliable. Using only household access to water, electricity, medical care, and a cash income, it was possible predict whether a sampled household was food insecure with 75% accuracy (in the sampled population). This relationship has important implications for urban planning and municipal social policy. Households in areas with limited access to infrastructure are more likely to be food insecure even when low income is controlled for. Based on these findings, investment in urban infrastructure access may have a knock-on impact on household food insecurity in Maputo. These findings suggest a preliminary alternative intervention for household food security beyond complex and potentially confounding economic policy intervention.

▼ Development organizations claim that rural water projects deliver a wide variety of benefits - from poverty reduction to women's empowerment. This research explores these claims in the context of a rural water project (RWP) in Nampula,
Mozambique. From August of 2011 to July of 2012, I spent 11 months conducting ethnographic research in five communities where handpumps were installed as part of the RWP. The goal of the research was to describe how the water project unfolds "on the ground" from the perspective of men and women in Nampula and illuminate the social and gender related impacts of the project that are not captured in standard evaluations. In Nampula, water is closely connected to exchange networks, power dynamics, cultural traditions, spiritual practices, and social values. Gender roles are formed in relation to water and negotiated around changes in water access. Women spend most of their day in contact with water in some form, and through water practices women fulfill the societal expectations of a good wife and mother.
The meanings and everyday uses of water were not considered in the design of the RWP, and the handpump technology and community management model were not well suited for the socio-cultural context of Nampula. The plans for the RWP were based on a number of incorrect assumptions about "community" local decision making processes, and men's and women's priorities, resulting in a significant gap between what project planners expected to happen and what actually happened in the communities.
The impacts of the RWP rippled beyond the narrow range of economic benefits expected by the MCC, reconfiguring the meanings associated with water, disrupting social exchange networks, and aggravating social divisions. People who did use the handpump also describe the impacts in very different terms than those used by development organizations. This research contributes to theoretical debates about the relationship between gender, water, and development, and also offers practical suggestions for designing water projects that are more equitable, culturally sensitive, and sustainable.

▼ ENGLISH SUMMARY : Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) involves the illicit purchase, movement and exchange of wildlife specimens as commodities within and across national boundaries. The illicit trade of wildlife is one of the largest threats to the survival of species, including rhinoceros and elephant populations in the wild, and has negative implications on the stability of national economies. Literature states that the limited research at different levels of the illicit chains makes the trade difficult to disrupt. On the one hand, scholars argue that poverty is a driver for involvement in illegal wildlife. On the other hand, some scholars suggest that IWT is driven by growth of wealth in the consumer countries in south-east Asia thus raising the demand for illegal products. This paper aims to understand the socio-economic drivers motivating poor communities, such as Mangalane in
Mozambique, to become involved in IWT. The purpose is to understand the community’s perception to identify some key challenges that research conservation projects have not explicitly addressed. Ultimately, this paper contributes to understanding some intervention gaps from the perspective of the community to address IWT.
The participants were randomly selected but excluded persons under the age of 16 years as they are regarded as minors according to
Mozambique law. The study acknowledged the sensitivity of rhinoceros poaching issues which may challenge the reasoning capacity of minors or threaten their social security. A total of 119 surveys were collected of 480 households (25%) from four out of five villages of the Mangalane community located in
Mozambique near the southeast border of South Africa’s Kruger National Park (KNP). A participatory focus group session followed to assist in explaining some of the findings to ensure that the community participated in the interpretation of data.
The study found that poverty of income has negative implications on wildlife, but mainly wildlife that is necessary for substance consumption, or trade, to supplement household income. The poaching of high value species such as rhino has no immediate use for the community, yet some individuals are involved. Although the community may be collectively defined as poor, poverty levels differ within one community and there are also more affluent individuals within a poor community. These affluent members are more likely to participate in poaching as one must be resourced to participate in poaching. Generally, poor people do not like poachers because they threaten the social security of the community as poachers are also linked to other crimes in the community such as cattle theft and human trafficking. Poor people like wildlife, however, the community’s tolerance of wildlife is very low when the cost of living with it exceeds the benefits received therefrom. The community also expressed a strongly felt need to be granted natural resource use rights. The community is positive towards the protected area and policies, but has a problem with the way policies are…

▼ This dissertation examines forced and migrant labor in central
Mozambique during the late colonial era. Both forced and migrant labor were central to the regional political economy and fundamental institutions through which ordinary Mozambicans engaged with colonial rule. This dissertation focuses upon how they were experienced by ordinary workers, beginning with the 1942 reinstatement of forced labor during the wartime economic boom, and ending with the abolition of forced labor in 1961, shortly before the onset of the Mozambican war of independence. Using over 170 interviews and extensive archival research, it studies the contested movement of individuals to, from, and between different employment across central
Mozambique and southern Africa. Sometimes, this movement was a source of autonomy for individual workers, who used their ability to move across the region to find work best suited to their particular circumstances. Sometimes, this movement was a source of leverage for colonial officials, who directed the movement of workers to magnify their limited capacities of social control.
In examining struggles over labor and mobility, the dissertation explores the broader colonial encounter which they knit together. Examining colonial efforts to control labor mobility reveals the possibilities and limitations of colonial power, from the selective interpretation and utilization of colonial law to the everyday structures of "indirect rule." At the same time, examining how ordinary Mozambicans used mobility within their working lives illuminates a wide array of social dynamics, from changing understandings of gender relations to the affective ties which linked migrants with their distant families. Finally, examining mobility provides a new perspective into the historical relationship between African agency, economic structure and colonial power in postwar southern Africa. Mobility was an essential dimension of how workers navigated the colonial system to their advantage, but it was intermittently controlled by the violent interventions of colonial authorities and permanently circumscribed by the exploitative racism of colonial southern Africa. In examining these fluid dynamics, this dissertation effects a more nuanced account of their variegated roles in making the late colonial history of central
Mozambique.

The KaNyaka barrier island system consists of the vegetated KaNyaka and Portuguese Islands, and various partially exposed sandbars. It is situated in south-easternmost Mozambique where it forms a barrier between Maputo Bay in the west and the Indian Ocean in the east. It forms part of the northern most limit of the Maputaland Group, which consists of Pliocene to Holocene sediments. The island system is an example of a compound barrier island since it comprises a stacked succession of several ancient shoreline marine and aeolian sedimentary rock units and sediments, along with various active sedimentary environments. This thesis describe the general geology of the island system, the petrography of the various rock and sedimentary units and provide information on provenance of sediment based on detrital zircon age populations. It also provides several new 14C age dates of shell fossils and calcified rhizoliths. KaNyaka Island consists of two high north-south trending dune cordons along its eastern and western shores, with a low-lying dune-covered area in between. The Western dune cordon consists of aeolian calcareous quartz arenite of the Ridjene Formation unconformably overlain by calcified aeolian dunes of the Alto Pocuane Formation in turn overlain by the unlithified red dunes of the Barreira Vermelha Formation. The core of the Eastern dune cordon consists of the calcareous quartz arenite of the Cabo Inhaca Formation comprised of stacked calcified aeolian dunes, the marine and tidal deposits of the Ponta Mazondue and Ponta Torres formations form the eastern and south-western flanks of the Eastern dune cordon. The formations are overlain by unlithified red to orange sands of the Changana Formation and partially lithified light grey to yellow sands of the Muamuluago Formation. The area between these two dune cordons is covered by low-lying aeolian dunes of the Alto Chumine Formation, ancient sandbar and beach deposits of the Chunhe Formation and both modern and paleo-intertidal flat deposits. Modern sedimentary environments include high-energy beaches, intertidal flats, sand spits, sandbars and aeolian dunes. The presence of aeolian deposits extending below the present sea-level, and marine deposits up to 3m above it, indicates that the KaNyaka barrier island system records a long history of sea-level change. 14C dating of marine and freshwater shell fossils and a rhizolith collected from several of the formations on the KaNyaka barrier island system assist in defining the history of the island with reference to sea-level fluctuations. Results from two freshwater shell fossils in the aeolian Alto Pocuane and Cabo Inhaca Formations indicate that they were deposited and subsequently calcified 47 000 and 30 000 years ago respectively, at times when the sea-level was 40 - 60 m lower than at present. The red sand of the Barreira Vermelha and Changana formation overlying these calcified dunes are suggested to have formed when climate was drier and sea-level even lower, during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) around…

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Bovine tuberculosis (BTB), caused by bacteria of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex is
reported to cause economic and public health negative impact in countries where it is prevalent.
The control of the disease has been a difficult task worldwide.
The main object of this thesis was to use molecular tools to generate useful information to
contribute to the design of appropriate BTB control measures in
Mozambique. To do so we
considered a deep knowledge of the BTB history in
Mozambique to be essential. The search
was largely based on the reports produced annually by the Veterinary Services and other
available information. We found reports of BTB in
Mozambique as early as 1940. These cases
were mainly identified as a result of post-mortem meat inspection. The higher numbers of cases
reported were from 8 locations, namely Maputo, Magude, Vilanculos, Beira, Chimoio, Tete,
Quelimane and Nampula, and served as a basis to decide the locations to perform prevalence
and molecular epidemiologic studies. Prevalence studies were done in 10 districts selected based on the history of a high number of
BTB case reports (intentionally biased towards locations presumably with higher prevalence),
a high cattle density, but also to represent districts from the south, centre and north of
Mozambique. A representative sample was defined, based on all livestock areas or villages in
Massingir and Govuro Districts or by randomly selecting small-scale and commercial herds in
8 districts, specifically Manhiça, Chibuto, Buzi, Gondola, Mutarara, Mogovolas, Angoche and
Mecanhelas. Results were obtained from 6983 cattle tested using tuberculin testing. Apparent
prevalence varied from 0.98% in Massingir to 39.6% in the Govuro, with prevalence as high
as 71.4% in some livestock areas/herds. The analysis of risk factors showed no noteworthy
difference with respect to the sex of the animal. Younger age had significantly lower odds of
infection compared to the older age class. There was a tendency of cattle from small-scale herds
to have lower prevalence when compared to the commercial herds. From the prevalence studies, 187 tissue and 41 milk samples from BTB reactors were collected.
Additionally 220 tissue samples were obtained from the Central Veterinary Laboratory routine
diagnostic work. Samples were
subject to bacteriological culture and a collection of 170 M.
bovis isolates were obtained. Eight additional isolates were supplied from another study. All
isolates were subjected to molecular typing using spoligotyping, and a sub-sample using
MIRU-VNTR and regions of difference (RD) analysis. Fifteen different spoligotype patterns were identified of which 8 were not previously registered in the Mbovis.org database. The
pattern SB0961 accounted for 61% of the isolates and was found in all areas of the country
investigated. We hypothesize that this was one of the first clones to be introduced in
Mozambique. Twenty-nine isolates had the pattern SB0140, which is specific for the European
1 (Eu1) clonal…

▼ Thesis (MA (Geography and Environmental Studies)) – University of Stellenbosch, 2009.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Tourism development is a complex process which many researchers have attempted to
understand from various social science perspectives. This study adopts a geography approach
to analyse tourism development in the Inhambane Coastal Zone (ICZ) by using the Miossec
(1976) and the Butler (1980) models as basic frameworks for analyses. Although both models
were found to be useful, they require more accurate data than what was generally available for
the ICZ.
Before the country’s independence in 1975, Mozambique was considered one of many
premier tourism destinations in Southern Africa and the tourism sector had played an
important role in the economy of the country. The 16 years period of internal conflict (1976-
1992) resulted in a rapid decline in the performance of the sector. Since the end of the armed
conflict in 1992 and the democratic transition, a slow recovery of the tourism sector in
Mozambique has set in. Tourism facilities for accommodation and leisure activities have
increased considerably over the last ten years, despite the absence of any integrated tourism
planning.
In this study questionnaire surveys of tourist establishment representatives and local residents
as well as focus group discussions and interviews were conducted to acquire primary data to
analyse the evolution of the ICZ as a tourist destination during the period 1992 to 2008. In
addition, secondary sources such as reports, tourism plans, tourism statistics and maps of the
study area were used.
It was found that tourism is developing slowly in the ICZ and the opening up (or
rediscovering) of the zone as a destination remains limited due to the slow development of
infrastructure in general. The tourism nodes are in different stages of their destination life
cycle and the local residents living in the seven communities react differently toward tourism
development. The ICZ has not progressed further than phase two in Miossec’s model. The
Miossec model was found a suitable tool for analysing tourism development in the ICZ but it
remains a challenge to identify both the evolutionary stage of the ICZ as a destination and the
stage of each tourism node. The study also found that local residents in the ICZ expressed
positive views about tourism development but they are still not satisfied with the current
benefits they acquire from the current development status of tourism in the zone.
AFRIKAANS SUMMARY: Baie navorsers het reeds gepoog om die komplekse proses van toerisme-ontwikkeling vanuit

benadering ten einde toerisme-ontwikkeling in die Inhambane Kussone (ICZ) met behulp van
die Miossec (1976) en Butler (1980) modelle as basiese raamwerke te analiseer. Alhoewel
beide modelle as bruikbaar bevind is, benodig hierdie modelle meer akkurate data as wat

▼ The purpose of this study was to ascertain the teachers' views on factors contributing to low reading levels among Mozambican primary school pupils. In Mozambique, in the last two decades, the government has been working hard to increase school access in primary school, reduce and eliminate illiteracy. The government efforts have included building more primary schools, training more teachers and introducing new primary school curriculum. However, while the government has been multiplying efforts to increase school access and reduce illiteracy, there has been an increasing concern by teachers and parents that most primary school pupils have very low reading levels, especially after the implementation of the new curriculum in 2005.Despite these concerns, the causes of low reading levels have not been profoundly analyzed in Mozambique and in cases where there have been attempts to establish them, the researchers concentrated on conducting tests to pupils.Therefore this study was conducted to ascertain the teachers' views on factors contributing to low reading levels among Mozambican primary school pupils.It was a case study conducted in Maputo district of Mozambique. The study was purely qualitative and the data was collected using face to face interviews and focused group discussions. This was to allow the study to collect detailed and in-depth views of teachers on factors contributing to low reading levels, in Mozambique.The sample of this study which consisted of forty grade five primary school teachers from four selected primary schools was drawn randomly using a simple random procedure. Principals and inspectors were also part of the participants.The findings of this study revealed the following as the key factors that contributed to low reading levels among Mozambican primary school pupils: the automatic transitions which allowed pupils to proceed fi-om one grade to another without being subjected to an examination; the three shift system used in suburbs as an attempt to respond to the parents demand for school vacancies; the language policy which establishes Portuguese, a foreign language, as the only medium of instruction and language of initial literacy; the short duration of the teacher training programme for primary school teachers (grade ten qualification plus one year of training); High teacher - pupil ratio.Other factors revealed by the study included: lack of exposure to pre-schools for most children, inadequate libraries, poor school/parents' collaboration and lack of motivation on the part of the pupils.In view of the findings stated above, the following recommendations were made:
a)The Ministry of Education should re-visit the automatic transition policy where pupils proceed fi-om one grade to another without being subjected to an examination.
b) In suburban areas where there is the three shift system, the Ministry of Education should introduce measures that compensate the limited teacher - pupil contact time.
c) There is a need for the government to revisit the language in education policy which…

▼ A major obstacle facing the successful creation of an African aquaculture industry, based upon Oreochromids, is the irregular supply of good quality fish seed. There are several causative biological processes behind its irregular supply. The aim of this research was therefore to determine the basic requirements for the establishment and maintenance of a small breeding facility, for O. mossambicus. The goal was to make a unit that was simple and which could be easily replicated in rural, satellite aquaculture seed stations. The results obtained illustrate that a small reproduction unit can produce large quantities of healthy 90-day fry.
Asynchronous hatching of the eggs and spawning asynchrony in female Oreochromis mossambicus are two elements which negatively affect uniformity in the fry produced. Typical fish seed production uses large ponds partitioned into breeding allotments or a series of breeding pools. While the earthen ponds provide a substrate in which a nest can be excavated, its presence is not required for mating success in the closely related O. niloticus (Linneaus 1758). Female mate choice, as well as apparent fecundity, according to nest size has been clearly recorded in related cichlids but no investigations have been made as to nest size and spawning synchrony in O. mossambicus. The main focus of this investigation was to ascertain whether O. mossambicus would accept artificial nest substitutes in preference to their own constructed ones and secondly, whether different alternatives would elicit different levels of acceptance. The observed results indicate a ready acceptance for artificial nest alternatives, with nest lip height being prioritised by the fish . The implications thereof are discussed in relation to the potential for optimization of breeding arenas for O. mossambicus by the provision of artificial nests whose dimensions satisfy both male and female preferences.
In established communities, Oreochromis mossambicus display various complex and ritualised behaviours during stable and disruptive events. The aim of this research was primarily to produce a glossary of behaviours defining these interactions, particularly with reference to male-male behaviours. Three males and six females were allowed to acclimatise over one month, with various social groupings being established within the first few days. Results from this study illustrated not only a dynamic social structure, signaled via various chemosensory and visual methods, but also supported recent findings in apparent male-male courtship and the underlying
ii
causes. Furthermore, the observed male-male activity of the nestholder malesfirmly corroborate the current practice in aquaculture whereby only one male is allocated per breeding arena.
The use of artificial incubation of Oreochromis spp. eggs has become widespread in high intensity fish seed production. Various types of incubator exist, and their selection is dependent on the specific attributes of the egg to be incubated. Currently available incubators are typically of a funnel…

▼ Maize streak virus (MSV) disease, transmitted by leafhoppers (Cicadulina mbila, Naude), and maize downy mildew (DM) disease caused by Peronosclerospora sorghi (Weston and Uppal) Shaw, are major contributing factors to low maize yields in Africa. These two diseases threaten maize production in
Mozambique, thus the importance of breeding Mozambican maize varieties that carry resistance to these diseases. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) was employed to pyramid MSV and DM disease resistant genes into a single genetic background through simultaneous selection. Firstly, it was essential to determine the genetic diversity of MSV disease resistance in 25 elite maize inbred lines to aid in the selection of suitable lines for the introgression of the msv1 gene; and subsequently, to introduce the msv1 resistance gene cluster from two inbred lines, CM505 and CML509, which were identified as the ideal parental lines for the introgression of MSV disease resistance into a locally adapted Mozambican inbred line LP23 that had DM background resistance. Pyramiding the resistance genes by the use of simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular markers to track the MSV gene cluster was investigated in 118 F3 progeny derived from crosses of CML505 x LP23 and CML509 x LP23. High resolution melt (HRM) analysis using the markers umc2228 and bnlg1811 detected 29 MSV resistant lines. At the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre (CIMMYT) in Zimbabwe, MSV disease expression of the 118 F3 progeny lines was assessed under artificial inoculation conditions with viruliferous leafhoppers and the effect of the MSV disease on plant height was measured. Thirty-seven family lines exhibited MSV and DM (DM incidence ≤50) disease resistance. Individual plants from a total of 41 progeny lines, that exhibited MSV disease severity ratings of 2.5 or less in both locations within each of the F3 family lines, were selected based on the presence of the msv1 gene based on SSR data, or field DM disease resistance, and were then advanced to the F4 generation to be fixed for use to improve maize hybrids in
Mozambique for MSV resistance. Simultaneous trials were run at Chokwe Research Station in
Mozambique for MSV and DM disease assessment, under natural and artificial disease infestation, respectively. Thus the MSV and DM genes were effectively pyramided. Lines with both MSV and DM resistance were advanced to the F4 generation and will be fixed for use to improve maize hybrids in
Mozambique for MSV and DM resistance, which will have positive implications on food security in
Mozambique. This research discusses the results of combined selection with both artificial inoculation and the three selected SSR markers. It was concluded that a conventional maize breeder can successfully use molecular markers to improve selection intensity and maximise genetic gain.

▼ Quality protein maize (QPM) has high nutritional value, but production is threatened by downy mildew (DM) and maize streak virus disease (MSVD) among other constraints. There are few studies of DM and MSVD resistance in QPM cultivars. The objective of this study was to improve resistance to DM and MSVD in three QPM populations. This was realized through ascertaining farmers’ key production constraints and special preferences for cultivars; determining the utility of recurrent selection method for improvement of three QPM populations (SussumaS2, ZM521Q and Pop62SRQ); and determining grain yield potential. The study was conducted in
Mozambique for DM and in Zimbabwe for MSV, during 2003 to 2006. Surveys were conducted in Manica and Angonia districts in
Mozambique to ascertain farmers’ perceptions and preferences for maize varieties, especially QPM. Participatory rural appraisal tools that included semi-structured questionnaires and focus group discussions were used to collect data. Results showed that farmers predominantly grew open pollinated varieties and fewer normal maize hybrids (non-QPM), and grain yield was estimated to be very low (0.2 to 0.6 t ha-1). Results showed that drought and insect pests were the dominant constraints to maize productivity in
Mozambique, while diseases were ranked third. Downy mildew disease and MSVD were considered to be the most important diseases reducing maize productivity. Farmers also showed high preference for high yielding and early maturity cultivars in all areas. Predominantly, farmers were still using their local landraces because of sweet taste, particularly for home consumption and flint grain for storage. Farmers’ access to improved cultivars was limited due to high seed prices on the local market. Research priorities as perceived by the farmers included breeding for resistance to drought, grain weevils and diseases and sweetness. Generally, farmers showed little knowledge of QPM varieties and the importance of this trait, but they observed that the few QPM varieties they knew had some weaknesses such as poor storability and susceptibility to DM and MSVD which required improvement. These results should be considered in breeding new cultivars, both normal and QPM. To improve DM and MSV disease resistance in QPM varieties, S1 recurrent selection was conducted in three QPM populations, Sussuma, ZM521Q and Pop62SRQ at Umbeluzi Research Station in
Mozambique and at CIMMYT-Harare Research Quality protein maize (QPM) has high nutritional value, but production is threatened by downy mildew (DM) and maize streak virus disease (MSVD) among other constraints. There are few studies of DM and MSVD resistance in QPM cultivars. The objective of this study was to improve resistance to DM and MSVD in three QPM populations. This was realized through ascertaining farmers’ key production constraints and special preferences for cultivars; determining the utility of recurrent selection method for improvement of three QPM populations (SussumaS2, ZM521Q and Pop62SRQ); and determining grain yield…
