The study addresses the issues related to climate change, energy production (traditional biomass and fossil fuels) as well as the potential of exploring renewable energy sources. The area of focus is the SADC region; this paper evaluates the implementation of the SADC Energy Access Strategy and Action Plan. It is an energy policy that was widely accepted and ratified by SADC member states in March 2010. The study is narrowed down to focus on the implementation of this policy in three SADC countries with different levels of energy consumption. These countries are South Africa with 80% of national energy consumption, Lesotho with 18% of national energy consumption and Mauritius which has 99.9% of national energy consumption. This study argues that the SADC Energy Access Strategy and Action Plan has implications for peace, security and development in the region. This is evident in climate change being an issue of emergency, more emphasis has been put on the use of renewable energy as opposed to fossil fuels and traditional biomass, which affects the climate and contributes to global warming. Renewable energy reduces carbon dioxide emissions and global warming.SADC leaders had to come up with ways to adapt to climate change and its effects; this gave birth to the SADC Energy Access Strategy and Action Plan in March 2010. The Action Plan came in as a solution to the energy crisis and as a strategy to realign the SADC energy sector to that of the world. The study further argues that Africa, and in particular SADC region has abundant renewable energy resources (solar energy, wind energy, hydro energy.etc), much of which are still untapped, yet have the capacity to supply the region with renewable energy for decades. The findings of the study confirm that SADC Energy Access Strategy and Action Plan indeed has implications for Peace, Security and Development in the region. The lack of proper planning, commitment and funds, as well as investments into the energy sector hinder the development of the regional energy sector and energy access projects. The SADC region has the potential to meet the energy demands and to venture into the use of renewable energy. / Thesis (M.Soc.Sc.(International Relations) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2013

Having constructed a plantation economy in the Yazoo Mississippi Delta, white Delta planters struggled to retain control of African-American labor after the start of the Civil War. In their effort, the planters manipulated the Freedmen's Bureau; passed the Black Code; sought out foreign labor; and condoned extralegal intimidation. The Civil War disrupted the plantation economy of the Yazoo Delta, prompting the planters to pursue innovative means to preserve the status quo. To achieve this end, they fought with the Confederate government for control of the militia, attempting to stabilize an economy rocked by military incursions, deserters, and outbreaks of lawlessness. Emancipation, the ultimate disruption to the plantation, precipitated a struggle between these former masters and African-Americans seeking to find the meaning of their freedom. The United States government also attempted to restructure the plantation economy of the Delta after the Civil War, but planters often manipulated federal authority to their advantage. Charged with protecting the interests of the freedmen, the Freedmen's Bureau, for example, frequently accommodated the labor needs of Delta planters, even transporting labor to the plantations when necessary. Similarly, Union military commanders frequently supported the planters in their attempt to control black labor. Delta planters, however, wished themselves entirely free of outside governance. Thus, in 1865, they helped formulate the Black Code, seeking to limit the labor options of the freedmen. When Congress negated this code, the planters sought foreign laborers to force African-Americans into economic desperation. Under congressional patronage, moderate Republicans, led by Delta planter James L. Alcorn, attempted to build a party led by white men and supported by African-American votes. When this moderate "Alcorn Republican" system failed in 1873, the planters aligned themselves with the "straight out" Democratic party, rather than support the pro-black Republicans led by Adelbert Ames. Using a system of fraud and brute violence, the white planters ultimately seized power from the Republican party in 1875. This "Mississippi Plan" allowed the planters to remove labor from politics, free the state from authority inimical to their interests, and ensure continuation of the plantation economy.
