Overally, 70% of the South African poor live in Rural Areas (Government of South Africa 2000); where the most primary school completion is on average more than 20% lower, nearly twice as many children suffer from malnutrition, and maternal mortality rates are twice as high when compared with other countries. Some 5% of rural households report no cash income whatsoever. Despite being rural dwellers, more than one million African households have no access to demarcated arable land. While up to 12 % in South Africa depend on state pensions as their only source of cash income. As much as 26% of rural households entirely depend on remittances from urban centers for their cash income. Severe job losses in several industries are likely to have worsened the situation of late. Superimposed on this is the growing impact of HIV/AIDS on rural livelihoods. It is I guess an unfortunate reality that in a country like South Africa in which 20% of the population is HIV positive, 25.6% are unemployed, the sustainability of rural livelihoods is still not considered a priority issue as is meant to be by some stakeholders.]]>
