The implications of demographic and economic change for the African maritime arena
An Einsteinian thought experiment in trying to know the future proves there is a social science uncertainty principle: ‘we cannot know the future but we must guess it'. The best guesstimates are that the African population will more than double by 2050; the number of significant African oil and gas producing states will double by 2050; while African oil and gas production will double by 2035 and then perhaps double again by 2050. Historical cases…

Sabotage, Strikes and Nationalisation of the VFTPC, 1939–45
During the Second World War two entirely different groups attacked the operations of the VFTPC, one group by sabotage and the other by organising a strike of the company's black workers. Immediately after the war a third group called a strike among black gold-miners. In a sense the VFTPC was 'only the power-station of a big mine having many shafts',1 and any strike in the gold-mines would directly affect the fortunes of the VFTPC. All three group…

Who benefits by the Kunene hydro-electric schemes
To understand the purpose of the Kunene hydro‐electic schemes in Angola one must examine the pattern of land settlement in Namibia established during the Herero‐German war of 1904–1908. At that time the White groups settled on the rich central pastoral land and also controlled the coast line. However the White south has three missing commodities which must be imported from the north: water, electricity, and labour. Thus it is the White groups who…
