This paper aims to contribute to the use of theories of diversity in geographical studies. Through the use of the case study of Bilanyoni (a former relocation settlement in KwaZulu-Natal), the paper discusses the way in which such settlements have

Sugarmill artisans constituted a major proportion of Mauritian settlers in Natal and they were subject to unfavourable discriminatio. It is shown how after 1945 their distinctive culture was eroded. This was the consequence of a number of factors
, notably technological change in the sugarmill, and the displacement of the descendants of the artisanal Mauritians from their former refuges in the sugarmilling villages of Natal. (AJC).

The Hazelmere Dam in KwaZulu-Natal was completed in 1975. Since then it has lost more than 25 percent of its original design capacity through siltation. This has occured partly because of high average sediment accumulation rates under normal

Recent drought in southern Africa has renewed concern about natural and possible man-made climatic change. An analysis of dam records in KwaZulu-Natal points to an increase in the frequency of prolonged below normal rainfall and above normal

South Africa's most valuable source of water is the eastern escarpment region of the KwaZulu-Natal Drakensberg and Lesotho highlands. Analysis of rainfall variability trends can thus contribute to a better understanding and management of the area
On the aeolianite-red sands relationship in coastal Natal in Palaeoecology of Africa and the surrounding islands. Volume 15. Southern African Society for Quaternary research. Proceedings.
Observations on the aeolianite-red sand relationships in Natal and Israel are reported and compared. It is suggested that only originally highly calcareous sands (over about 25 % CaCO) were cemented into aeolianite in Natal. At a lower content
