This book seeks to explore and examine the application and use of indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) in the management of drought through a case study of Msinga village communities in the northern parts of KwaZuluNatal Province, paying specific attention to droughts that have been recorded and that prevail in the area. Governments policy aimed at mitigating and the effect of drought on communities and its effectiveness is examined as well. The question is whether government policy measures supplement rural communities drought management strategies. The findings demonstrated that droughts are endemic in the study area and that droughtmanagement strategies are as intrinsic to local livelihood systems as are seasonaladjustment strategies. The findings also indicated that communities in Msinga have knowledge of drought management. However, this knowledge contributes very little to the management of drought. The findings also demonstrated that there is poor capacity in government to deal with disasters and this has serious repercussions for poor rural communities in Msinga..
