An Investigation into employee engagement and its impact on organisational performance: an employee’s perspective
Get PDFThe purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of employee engagement at
the Construction Education and Training Authority (CETA). The study will be guided
by the following research questions: What is the impact of employee engagement on
the organization’s performance? Which factors are affecting employee engagement
levels? What recommendations can be offered to improve employee engagement at
public sector organisations? A questionnaire comprising closed-ended questions and
responses rated on a 5-point Likert scale, was administered to respondents through
the ‘drop and pick’ method; with a descriptive approach used to analyse data collected
with the measurement instrument, to allow conclusions to be drawn. Data coding was
followed by data presentation via tables and figures. Quantitative data collected were
analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software and
presented through percentages, means, standard deviations and frequencies.
The public entity referred to as CETA has been burdened by operational and people
issues. Overall, the organisation is essentially locked in underperformance. It is
suggested the situation could improve should employee engagement levels be
enhanced. The survey was administered to 50 CETA employees. The central
argument in the research is that employee engagement is critical in determining
employee, and organisational performance.
Findings reveal low employee engagement levels that, consequently, result in belowstandard performance by the majority employees. The fundamental point of the
research is that employee engagement is crucial in determining employee and
organisational performance. The findings indicate low employee engagement levels
at the CETA, which results in low performance levels among the majority employees.
Although attempts have been made to improve the work environment and employee
motivation, recent interventions have been insufficient
The perceptions of nursing students regarding the innovative teaching and learning strategies used in biological and natural sciences courses at a nursing college
Get PDFBiological Nursing Sciences (BNS) is one of the fundamental subjects taught in the first
year and second year of study in Nursing Education and training. Most students are
struggling with the subject therefore, lecturers use different teaching and learning
strategies to try and improve students’ performance in the subject. The students were
involved in Multiple Intelligence Approaches, Flipped classrooms, Jigsaw puzzles, and
online teaching and learning methods. The purpose of the study was to explore the
perceptions of the third- and fourth-year nursing students’ regarding innovative teaching
and learning strategies in the Biological and Natural Sciences course. The study was
conducted at a Nursing College in Gauteng. The researcher used a non-experimental
quantitative descriptive research design. The non-probability convenience sampling
strategy was used to select the participants who met the inclusion criteria.
Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire, consisting of closed-ended
questions. The software programme, Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS)
version 25 was used for data analysis. The findings revealed that the preferred method
of teaching and learning were the jigsaw group discussion and multiple intelligence
approach. However, Zoom as an e-learning teaching platform was found not to be a
preferred strategy for teaching and learning. The findings also revealed that innovative
teaching strategies motivate students to study and seek more information.M.A. (Health Studies)Health Studie
Developmental trends in Setswana literature
No full textA Marxist literary theory is used in this study. The aim of this study is to evaluate some Setswana novels using a developmental approach. The time frame of this study will extend from the time the missionaries came to South Africa until 1994. Karl Marx's background has been discussed. The following Marxist models are explained, i.e. reflection model, production model, genetic model, negative knowledge model and language centred models. An explanation of some Marxist concepts, e.g. ideology, dialectic, base, superstructure, reification and alienation have been given (Chapter 1 ). Three Marxist models are used, namely reflection, production and genetic. These models are used in the discussion of Mokwena. Rammone wa Kgalagadi and Motimedi. The study hi ghlights how missionaries manipulated Setswana literary creativity in an attempt to promote Christianity and how some Setswana authors resisted the attempt to make Setswana literature instruments for Christianising people (Chapter 2).
The development of the follow tng novels. Sephaphatt Matlhoko Matlhoko and Masego are discussed Three Marxtst models are utili sed 1n the evaluation of these novels namely reflection, productio n and genet1c although the Government also harness ed Setsw ana literary creativity in an attempt t o promote their ideology, some Setswana authors nevertheless res1sted these attempts by the government (Chapter 3 ) . Explanation of the findings of the aim of the study is given. Mokwena pnmarily addresses 1ts Christtan readers (Batswana) Rammone wa Kgalagadi highlights the trad1t1onal world and westerntsed Christian world. Motimedi focuses on hardships expenenced by Blacks. though Christianity also plays a role when the ma1n character 1s converted Sephaphati f ocuses on the Christ1an world and the w esternised world. Matlhoko Matlhoko highlights the implementation of th e segregation acts in South A fnca before 1994. Masego focuses on the impact of the oppressive laws of South Afnca pnor to 1994 The conclus1on illustrates how Setswana authors were influenced by th e1r traditional. cultural, relig ious and soc1o-econom1c background in writing the novels that I have evaluated (Chapter 4).M.A. (African Languages)African Language
An evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of South Africa’s corporate rescue regime as a potential benchmark for Uganda
No full textThis thesis evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of the legal framework on
corporate rescue in South Africa and Uganda. Although corporate rescue was initially not one of the
objectives of insolvency law, it has now become the focus of modern insolvency law. South Africa
became the first country to recognise the need to create a legal framework for rehabilitating
financially distressed companies when it incorporated judicial management in the Companies Act of
1926. Judicial management was, however, not successful as a corporate rescue procedure. The South
African policy makers however continued to explore ways through which financially distressed but
viable companies could be saved from collapsing. This culminated into the introduction of business
rescue in Chapter 6 of the Companies Act
71 of 2008.
The study presents a detailed analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the South African
business rescue framework. It posits that unlike the Ugandan system, the South Africa legal regime
reflects the principles of a modern and effective corporate rescue system.
Whereas the government of Uganda attempted to embrace corporate rescue through the introduction of administration in the Insolvency Act 2011, the law is devoid of the internationally recognised features of a modern and effective business rescue framework. Administration has remained a white elephant in Uganda’s insolvency system, with liquidation continuing to be the predominant procedure used by both creditors and financially distressed companies. It is recommended that Uganda’s policy makers should benchmark the South African system to reform Uganda’s corporate rescue framework.
This thesis is based on the law as at 31st of May 2022, found in the sources available in South Africa and Uganda.LL. D. (Mercantile Law)Mercantile La
The relationship between cash flow and share prices of general mining firms listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange
No full textAbstracts in English, Afrikaans and ZuluThe purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between cashflows and the share prices of the 12 general mining firms listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) from 2015 to 2020. Empirical data were collected from the Iress (SA) database and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 was used to analyse the cashflows and share prices of the mining firms. The study applied an in-depth regression analysis using the pooled OLS model, fixed and random effects models, and the FGLS model and found only the latter model to fit the data favourably. The Agency Theory, the Free Cash Flow (FCF) Hypothesis, and the Financial Leverage Theory provided a basis for the study’s theoretical framework.
Based on the study findings, the nature of the relationship between cashflows and share prices is dependent on the cashflow type. The study highlighted that cashflows from investment and financing activities had a statistically significant relationship with the share prices at a 1% significance level. However, the study findings showed a statistically insignificant association between cashflows from operating activities and the share price of the 12 general mining companies listed on the JSE between 2015 and 2020.
Based on the study findings, one of the major recommendations is that general mining firms should prioritise cashflows from investing and financing activities since these types of cashflows have a significant impact on their share prices.Die doel van hierdie navorsing was om die verhouding tussen die kontantvloei en die aandeelpryse van die 12 algemene mynboumaatskappye wat van 2015 tot 2020 op die Johannesburgse Effektebeurs (JSE) genoteer was, te ondersoek. Empiriese data is ingesamel van die Iress-databasis (SA), en die Statistiese Pakket vir die Sosiale Wetenskappe (SPSS) se weergawe 25 is gebruik om die kontantvloei en aandeelpryse van die mynboumaatskappye te ontleed. Die studie het ’n omvattende regressie-ontleding gedoen, asook die gepoelde OLS-model, vaste en ewekansige effektemodelle, en die FGLS-model gebruik, en het bevind dat slegs die laasgenoemde model goed by die data pas. Die agentskapteorie, die Vrye Kontantvloeihipotese (FCF-hipotese) en die Finansiële Hefboomwerkingsteorie het as grondslag vir die studie se teoretiese raamwerk gedien.
Aldus die studie se bevindings is die aard van die verhouding tussen die kontantvloei en die aandeelpryse afhanklik van die tipe kontantvloei. Die studie het daarop gewys dat die kontantvloei van beleggings- en finansieringsaktiwiteite ’n statisties-beduidenheidsverhouding met die aandeelpryse teen ’n 1% beduidendheidsvlak het. Die bevindings van die studie het egter ook ’n statisties beduidende verbintenis tussen die kontantvloei van bedryfsaktiwiteite en die aandeelpryse van 12 algemene mynboumaatskappye wat tussen 2015 en 2020 op die JSE genoteer was, aangetoon.
Een van die belangrikste aanbevelings, gebaseer op die studie se bevindings, is dat algemene mynboumaatskappye kontantvloei van beleggings- en finansieringsaktiwiteite moet prioritiseer omdat hierdie tipe kontantvloei ’n betekenisvolle invloed op hulle aandeelpryse het.Inhloso yalolu cwaningo bekuwukuphenya ubudlelwano phakathi kokugeleza kwemali kanye namanani ezabelo ezinkampani ezijwayelekile zezimayini eziyi-12 ezisohlwini lweJohannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) kusukela ngo-2015 kuya -2020. Imininingwane ethenjelwe kokuhlangenwe nakho yaqoqwa oqoqweni oluhleliwe olugcinwe ohlelweni lwekhompyutha lwe-Iress kanye nenguqulo 25 yokuqoqiwe kwesofthiwe okutshenziselwa ukuhlaziya imininingwane yezibalo (SPSS) yasetshenziswa ukuze kuhlaziywe ukugeleza kwemali kanye namanani ezabelo zezinkampani ezimayini. Ucwaningo lusebenzise ukuhlaziya okujulile kokuhlehla kusetshenziswa isifanekiso esihlanganisiwe se-OLS, izifanekiso zemiphumela engaguquki nengahleliwe, kanye nesifanekiso se-FGLS futhi lwathola isifanekiso sakamuva kuphela ukuze silingane imininingwane ngokufanele. Isimiso sokuxazulula izinkinga ebudlelwaneni phakathi kwabaphathi bebhizinisi namanxusa abo, uMbono weNkomba yaMandla eZimali enkampani, kanye noMbono woMzamo waMasu wokuBoleka Imali ukuze utshale ezimpahleni kunikeze isisekelo sohlaka lombono wocwaningo.
Ngokusekelwe emiphumeleni yocwaningo, imvelo yobudlelwano phakathi kokugeleza kwemali nezintengo zezabelo incike ohlotsheni lokugeleza kwemali. Ucwaningo lwagqamisa ukuthi ukugeleza kwemali okuvela emisebenzini yokutshalwa kwezimali neyokuxhasa ngezimali kunobudlelwano obubalulekile ngokwezibalo namanani ezabelo ezingeni lokubaluleka elingu-1%. Nokho, okutholwe ocwaningweni kubonise ukuhlobana okungabalulekile ngokwezibalo phakathi kokugeleza kwemali okuvela emisebenzini yokusebenza kanye nenani lezabelo lezinkampani ezijwayelekile zezimayini eziyi-12 ezisohlwini lwe-JSE phakathi kuka-2015 no-2020.
Ngokusekelwe kulokho okutholwe ocwaningweni, esinye seziphakamiso eziyinhloko ukuthi izinkampani zezimayini jikelele kufanele zibeke phambili ukugeleza kwemali okuvela emisebenzini yokutshala izimali kanye neyokuxhasa ngezimali njengoba lezi zinhlobo zokugeleza kwemali zinomthelela omkhulu emananini azo ezabelo.M.

Investigating how stigma AIDS the spread of HIV infections among young women in Johannesburg and possible interventions to ameliorate the problem
Get PDFThis was a qualitative case study exploring and describing the role that stigma plays
in the spread of HIV among young women between the ages of 18 and 24.
The study locale was Johannesburg, South Africa. The social ecology model and radical
feminism were adopted as the conceptual framework for the study. Data were
collected through interviews with thirteen young women. This study intended to
explore and describe HIV-related stigma, as experienced by young women living with
HIV. The major findings of the study were that (a) all the participants were familiar with
the notion of stigma and held the view that it made many young women vulnerable to
infection; (b) stigma kept many people living with HIV (PLHIV) from accessing
prevention and destigmatisation intervention programmes, as well as healthcare
facilities and services; (c) there were currently very few HIV reduction and
destigmatisation intervention programmes in their communities; (d) intervention
programmes could be strengthened by involving PLHIV in the planning and execution
of such programmes, as well as utilising HIV positive experts and (e) extant stigma
prevention and destigmatisation programmes could be strengthened at family, clinics,
hospitals and community levels. It is concluded that the study has made an important
contribution towards closing the literature gap in the paucity of studies on the personal
lived experiences of PLHIV.In hierdie kwalitatiewe gevallestudie is die rol van stigma in die verspreiding van MIV
onder jong vroue tussen die ouderdom van 18 en 24 ondersoek en beskryf. Die studie
is in Johannesburg, Suid-Afrika onderneem. Die maatskaplike-ekologiemodel en
radikale feminisme het die konseptuele raamwerk daarvan gevorm. Data is ingesamel
deur onderhoude met dertien jong vroue te voer. Die oogmerk van die studie was om
die stigma van MIV wat kleef aan jong vroue wat met MIV leef, te verken. Die volgende
bevindings is gemaak: (a) al die deelnemers was vertroud met die idee van stigma.
Hulle was van mening dat dit tallose jong vroue vir infeksie kwesbaar maak; (b) die
stigma ontneem talle mense wat leef met MIV (MLMIV) van toegang tot nie alleen
voorkomings- en destigmatiseringsprogramme nie, maar ook van gesondheidsorg en
-dienste; (c) tans word weinig MIV-verminderings- en destigmatiseringsprogramme in
hulle gemeenskappe aangebied; (d) intervensieprogramme kan verbeter word deur
MLMIV by die beplanning en uitvoering daarvan te betrek; en (e) bestaande
stigmavoorkomings- en destigmatiseringsprogramme behoort in families, klinieke,
hospitale en gemeenskappe verskerp te word. Die slotsom is dat hierdie studie die
leemte aan literatuur oor die persoonlike, deurleefde ervarings van MLMIV aanvulOna e ne e le mokgwa wa ho etsa patlsisio moo ho ithutwang ka ketsahalo e boima

Moontlike faktore wat vrouens daarvan weerhou om prinsipale van dorpskole in die Kaapse Wynlanddistrik te word
Get PDFHoofstuk 1 het begin met ʼn agtergrondskets van die studie (par. 2). Die situasie in Kring 10 van die Kaapse Wynland-distrik is aangedui. Van die 54 skole in die Kring is 21 (39%) dorpskole. Slegs drie van die 21 dorpskole (14%) het vroulike prinsipale. Van die 33 plaasskole, het 23 (42%) van hulle vroulike prinsipale.
Na aanleiding van bogenoemde situasie is die probleemstelling van die studie (par.
3) gestel en as navorsingsvraag soos volg geformuleer: Wat is die moontlike faktore wat vrouens daarvan weerhou om prinsipale van dorpskole in die Kaapse Wynland Distrik, Kring 10, te word? Die navorsingsvraag is in die volgende subvrae verdeel:
• Hoekom verskil die situasie so beduidend met betrekking tot die aantal vroulike prinsipale in dorpskole met die van plaasskole in die betrokke distrik?
• Watter faktore dra by tot die beduidende verskil in getalle van vroulike en manlike prinsipale in dorpskole in Kring 10?
• Hoe kan hierdie faktore geëlimineer word om die getal vroulike prinsipale in dorpskole in die distrik te vermeerder?
Die populasie en steekproefmonster van die ondersoek is in par. 3.6 duidelik uiteengesit. Die steekproefmonster is deur maksimum-variasie steekproefneming gedoen. Die navorsingsmetode is as kwalitatief geïdentifiseer (par. 5.1). Daar was ʼn bespreking oor die doelstellings en doelwitte van die studie (par. 4). Die dataversamelingstegniek was diepgaande ongestruktureerde onderhoude (par. 5.3). Daarna was daar ʼn bespreking oor die data-analise en aanbiedingsprosedures (par. 5.4). Laastens is die betroubaarheid (par. 6), die etiese oorwegings (par. 7) en die beperkinge van die studie (par. 8) bespreek.
Hoofstuk 2 het die teoretiese en literatuurstudie agtergrond van die studie ondersoek. Daar is gekyk na die unieke aard en wese van die vrou (par. 2). Die vrou in die onderwys se historiese perspektief (par. 3) is bespreek. Daar is gevind dat daar sekere beperkinge en probleme vir vrouens in die onderwys is (par. 4). Die verskillende leierskaprolle in die onderwys is bespreek (par. 5). Daar is ook verwys na vroulike leierskap (par. 6) en vrouens in leierskapposisies (par. 7). Daar is bewys gelewer van die tekort aan vroulike leiers internasionaal (par. 8), asook plaaslik (par. 9). Laastens was daar ʼn bespreking oor die moontlike redes vir die stand van sake (par. 10).
In Hoofstuk 3 is daar weer gekyk na die navorsingsmetodologie wat in die studie gebruik is en die fokus was op die navorsingsvraag en doel van die studie (par.3.2). Die navorsingsontwerp (par. 3.3) en die navorsingsparadigma (par. 3.4) is bespreek. Die navorsingsbenadering (par. 3.5) was ʼn kwalitatiewe benadering na ondersoekende navorsing. Die populasie van die ondersoek is aangedui, waarna die steekproefmonster bepaal is. Die steekproef het bestaan uit ʼn totaal van 12 deelnemers (n=12) wat soos volg saamgestel was: 2 manlike prinsipale en 2 vroulike prinsipale, 2 manlike opvoeders en 2 vroulike opvoeders, asook 2 manlike ouers en 2 vroulike ouers. Die navorsingsinstrumente, naamlik die literatuurstudie (par. 3.7.1) en onderhoude (par. 3.7.3) is bespreek. Die drie oopeindevrae is aangeheg as Aanhangsel B. ʼn Bespreking oor die data-analise (par. 3.8.1) en die data-aanbieding (par. 3.8.2) het gevolg. Daarna is verwys na die betroubaarheid (par. 3.9.1), die geloofwaardigheid (par. 3.9.2) en die afhanklikheid (par. 3.9.3) van die studie. Die etiese deel van die studie (par. 3.10) het bestaan uit die volgende: Die ingeligte toestemming (par. 3.10.1), met die toestemmingsbriewe in Aanhangsels C en D en die anonimiteit en vertroulikheid (par. 3.10.2). Die hoofstuk is afgesluit met die beperkinge en tekortkominge van die studie.
In Hoofstuk 4 is die navorsingsdata voorgelê, geanaliseer en bespreek. Die navorsingsproses (par. 4.2) is gevolg deur gebruik te maak van ongestruktureerde onderhoude. Die drie vrae van die onderhoud was in ooreenstemming met die subvrae van die studie. Onderhoude is gevoer met prinsipale, opvoeders en ouers in die Kaapse Wynland-distrik se Kring 10. Die deelnemers is in twee kategorieë verdeel, naamlik dié van plaasskole en dié van dorpskole in die betrokke kring. Die biografiese data van die deelnemers (par. 4.3) is uiteengesit in tabel 4.1. Ter wille van anonimiteit is kodes aan elkeen van die 12 deelnemers toegeken. In die datavoorlegging en -analise (par. 4.4) is die data wat ingesamel is deur middel van onderhoude verskaf.

Mateano pakeng tsa diqeto tsa kabo ya mokitlane ho ya lebatowa le kgolo ya moruo: phuputso e itshetlehileng hodima bopaki mabapi le Zimbabwe
No full textAbstracts in English, Zulu and SesothoDespite policy measures aimed at improving the performance of commercial banks
and their contribution to economic growth, little progress has been made in reviving
the Zimbabwean economy. The effective function of banking as an essential sector in
Zimbabwe is crucial to the promotion of the economic growth of the country. To
achieve this objective, the study used agriculture, manufacturing, mining, individuals,
finance and other sectors as independent variables using monthly data. The previous
empirical examination of the connection of the relationship is anchored on aggregate
economic growth (proxied GDP), on the assumption that each economic sector
responds similarly to GDP. However, the degree of credit utilisation and productivity
of credit may not homogeneously remain the same across sectors. Therefore, this
study seeks to contribute to the literature by examining the interaction between bank
lending through sectoral credit allocation (SCA) and economic growth. The study
employed the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) to test for stationarity in the time series.
Johansen cointegration, the vector autoregressive model and the vector error
correction model were used to identify the long-run and short-run dynamics among
variables. The Granger causality test was used to determine the causal direction. In
the context of this study, monthly time series data were used to examine the interaction
between sectors of the economy and economic growth in Zimbabwe during the period
2010–2021. The study used secondary data from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe
(RBZ). As a result, ADF has been enhanced.
The Johansen cointegration test, on the other hand, demonstrated a long-run link
between the variables. Credit allocation to the agriculture, industrial, and mining
sectors grew the economy, but credit allocation to individuals, the banking industry, and other sectors did not. The findings imply that policymakers, government, and
financial regulators must promote financial allocation to agriculture, mining and
manufacturing as critical for economic transformation. The banks must ensure that
more credits flow to the mining, manufacturing, and agricultural sectors to promote
growth for all economic sectors. Understanding the relationship between SCA and
economic growth is critical, as it informs authorities to properly allocate resources and
obtain proportionate returns.Naphezu kwezinyathelo zengqubomgomo ezihlose ukuthuthukisa ukusebenza
kwamabhange ebhizinisi kanye negalelo lawo ekukhuleni komnotho, incane
inqubekelaphambili eseyenziwe ekuvuseleleni umnotho weZimbabwe. Ukusebenza
kahle kwamabhange njengomkhakha obalulekile eZimbabwe kubalulekile
ekukhuthazeni ukukhula komnotho wezwe. Ukufeza le nhloso, ucwaningo lusebenzise
ezolimo, ezokukhiqiza, ezezimayini, abantu ngabanye, ezezimali kanye neminye
imikhakha njengokuguquguquka okuzimele kusetshenziswa imininingwane yanyanga
zonke. Ukuhlolwa kwangaphambilini kobuhlakani bokuxhunywa kobudlelwano
kusekelwe ekukhuleni komnotho okuhlanganisiwe (igunya le-GDP lokusebenzela
omunye), kucatshangwa ukuthi umkhakha wezomnotho ngamunye uphendula
ngendlela efanayo kwi-GDP. Kodwa-ke, izinga lokusetshenziswa kwamanani
akweletwayo kanye nokukhiqiza kwesikweletu kungenzeka kungahlali ngokufanayo
kuzo zonke izigaba. Ngakho-ke, lolu cwaningo luhlose ukufaka isandla emibhalweni
ngokuhlola ukusebenzisana phakathi kokubolekwa kwebhange ngokusebenzisa
ukwabiwa kwezezimali ngokwemikhakha (SCA) kanye nokukhula komnotho.
Ucwaningo lusebenzise ukuhlola ukuthi impande yeyunithi ikhona kusampula
yochungechunge lwesikhathi (ADF) ukuze ihlole ukuma ochungechungeni
lwesikhathi. Indlela yokunquma ukuthi uchungechunge lwesikhathi oluthathu noma
ngaphezulu luhlanganisiwe, isilinganiso esisetshenziselwa uchungechunge
lwesikhathi esibandakanya amanani aguquguqukayo amabili noma ngaphezulu,
kanye nesilinganiso esiguquguqukayo esimile ekwehlukeni kwaso kusetshenziswe
ukuhlonza amandla esikhathi eside kanye nesikhathi esifushane phakathi
kokuguquguqukayo. Ukuhlolwa komqondo wezibalo wembangela osuselwe ekubikezelweni
kwasetshenziswa ukuze kutholwe isiqondiso sembangela. Kulolu cwaningo,
imininingwane yochungechunge lwesikhathi lwanyanga zonke yasetshenziswa
ukuhlola ukuxhumana phakathi kwemikhakha yomnotho nokukhula komnotho
eZimbabwe phakathi nesikhathi sika-2010-2021. Lolu cwaningo belusebenzisa
imininingwane yesibili evela ebhanga elikhulu lezwekazi laseZimbabwe (RBZ).
Ngenxa yalokho, i-ADF iye yathuthukiswa.
Ukuhlolwa kokunquma ukuthi uchungechunge lwesikhathi oluthathu noma
ngaphezulu luhlanganisiwe, ngakolunye uhlangothi, kubonise ukuxhumana okuhlala
isikhathi eside phakathi kokuguquguqukayo. Ukwabiwa kwezikweletu emkhakheni
wezolimo, izimboni, kanye nezimayini kwawukhulisa umnotho, kodwa ukwabiwa
kwezikweletu kubantu ngabanye, imboni yamabhange, neminye imikhakha akuzange
kube njalo. Imiphumela isho ukuthi abenzi bezinqubomgomo, uhulumeni, nabalawuli
bezezimali kumele bakhuthaze ukwabiwa kwezimali kwezolimo, ezezimayini
nezokukhiqiza njengento ebalulekile ekuguquleni umnotho.
Amabhange kumele aqinisekise ukuthi izikweletu eziningi ziyangena emkhakheni
wezimayini, wezokukhiqiza kanye nowezolimo ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukukhula kwayo
yonke imikhakha yezomnotho. Ukuqonda ubudlelwano phakathi kwe-SCA nokukhula
komnotho kubalulekile, njengoba kuzisa iziphathimandla ukuthi zabele izinsiza

Nurse facilitators' perception regarding the facilitation of the development of clinical reasoning skills
Get PDFAn important requirement for the professional nurse in South Africa is to formulate an individual
care plan based on the presenting data of a patient. This plan aims to treat the current condition
of a patient, as well as prevent further complications surrounding the condition. To rationalise
the decision made, a professional nurse needs to apply clinical reasoning skills. A student nurse
needs to acquire nursing skills during their training. The nurse facilitator is one of the role
players to facilitate the clinical reasoning skills (CRS) of nurse students. It was, therefore
important, to describe the nurse facilitator’s perception regarding the facilitation of the
development of CRS of nurse students.
The study aims to describe the nurse facilitator’s perceptions, opportunities, experienced during
the facilitation of the development of CRS of students as well as their recommendations for
better support in their task to facilitate CRS of students. Describing these perceptions,
contributed to the formulation of recommendations to support the nurse facilitator in their role, to
develop CRS in nurse students.
A qualitative descriptive research design was utilised, using four open-ended questions
embedded online through an organised file storage system developed by Google. A total of 53
nurse facilitators employed by a private nurse institute in South Africa were positively targeted.
Data collection occurred over three weeks. The results uncovered four themes: Theory and
practice integration; Resources; Student responsiveness and Facilitator competencies and eight
(8) sub-themes namely: Theoretical knowledge; Scientific nurse process; Human resources;
Physical resources; Lack of time for facilitation; Individual experience; Lack of like skills and
Continuous Professional Development.
The findings revealed the nurse facilitators’ accurate interpretation of the concept of CRS. The challenges experienced by the nurse facilitators that hinder the facilitation of the development of
CRS of nurse students concurred with that described by the literature. The facilitators expressed
creativity in the utilisation of opportunities when facilitating the development of CRS of students.
Finally, they described needed support to assist them to facilitate the development of CRS of
students.M.A. (Nursing Science)Health Studie
Stakeholder Challenges Impeding Attainment of Blue Flag Status at Eastern Beach in East London, South Africa
No full textThis research explores the challenges faced by public and private stakeholders at Eastern Beach in East London,
that are preventing attainment of Blue Flag status. Blue Flag beaches are a major tourism drawcard, yet the Eastern
Cape province of South Africa is facing obstacles that impede achievement of this ecolabel. To investigate this,
the paper focuses on Eastern beach. Twenty public and private stakeholders involved in coastal planning and
management in East London participated in individual virtual semi-structured interviews. Through thematic
analysis, key themes were identified. Findings indicate that public control, safety and security as well as
infrastructure are key challenges. Environmental management also requires attention as several negative impacts
prevail. Furthermore, the need for concerted stakeholder coordination in the drive toward Blue Flag status
emerged as a necessity. Considering the potential of Eastern Beach, it would be favourable to East London to
have this beach accredited. It would enhance sustainable tourism development with its positive economic, social
and environmental impacts. The identification of the challenges can assist stakeholders in moving towards this
status. These findings could also apply to managers at other beaches that are aiming to attain, maintain or regain
Blue Flag accreditation.Transport Economics, Logistics and Touris
