No full textTo understand the present, it is necessary to understand the past. Unfortunately, we often also deal with foul news and the distortion of the past. No wonder George Orwell warned that, “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” Therefore, planners must check their facts, as incorrect information can send the future in a wrong direction.Publisher's versio

Determining the rotational strength of Lateral Malleolus Locking Plate versus Fibula Intramedullary nail in Supination External Rotation type IV injuries: cadaveric study
No full textIntroduction: Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with anatomical reduction of
displaced ankle fractures have been the standard of care since the 1960, but are associated
with increased risk of complication, especially wound dehiscence and infections. Studies
showed that minimal invasive ankle fracture fixation with a fibula intramedullary nail can reduce
these complications with good clinical results after fracture fixation. Biomechanical evidence of
its strength compared with locking plates and screws, is currently limited.
Aims: We examined the biomechanical properties of a distal fibular locking plate with the fibula
intramedullary nail for fixation of ankle fractures induced in cadaveric models. Methods: 14
cadavers (28 limbs) were used and supination external rotation (SER) IV injury was surgically
created. Right limbs was allocated to the locking plate group and left limbs to the intramedullary
fibula nail group. Biomechanical testing was performed simulating an external rotation force.
Results: There was no statistical difference between the mean force needed for loss of
anatomical reduction in the locking plate group and fibula nail group. There was, however, a
statistical difference between the mean forces for total implant failure between the locking plate
group and fibula nail group.
Conclusion: This cadaver study supports previous biomechanical research findings of
comparable stability between the two surgical techniques when looking at the force needed to
cause loss of anatomical reduction. The locking plates, was however superior to the fibula nail with regards to the amount of force needed to cause implant failure. From a biomechanical
perspective, this showed that the fibula nail is be a viable option when treating unstable fibula
fractures

To unite or not to unite? a case study of Presbyterianism in South Africa, 1897-1923
No full textAs from 1891, attempts to bring all Presbyterians of Scottish and Scottish mission descent in South Africa together into one church faced insuperable barriers. Their histories and traditions, as well as their demographic and ethnic composition were all issues, despite their similarities. The Presbyterian Church of South Africa was formed in 1897, and the Bantu Presbyterian Church of South Africa in 1923. Discussions on various forms of relationship started in 1891 and continued in the years following the formation of the Bantu Presbyterian Church in South Africa. This article investigates the issues at stake in the attempts to establish one Presbyterian denomination from the disparate Scottish ecclesiastical bodies, using primary and secondary sources and focusing mainly on the issue of racism.Publisher's versio
The lack of accountability and transparency in local government in South Africa
No full textThis study focused on the challenges faced by Local Government in South Africa with specific reference to the “The lack of accountability and transparency in local government in South Africa”. Qualitative research methodology was used because it covers issues in great depth and detail and allows for the ability to interact with research subjects. The functioning of local governments in South Africa as engines of national development has been plagued with problems and imbalance related to the poor ethics, corruption, and maladministration of the local government machinery itself. The consequences are widespread corruption and distortions of government priorities; both of which undermine the ability of local governments to improve broad-based economic growth and social well-being of its residents or citizens.
THE FINDINGS OF THE STUDY ARE:
With regards to the importance of developmental local government the findings revealed that developmental local government was important in that it had ensured effective service delivery by ensuring accountability and transparency.
With regards to the challenges facing developmental local government the study findings revealed that there were indeed challenges with regards to transparency and accountability. These challenges ranged from a lack of understanding of the way local government operates and political differences amongst political parties.South African Local Government Association (SALGA
