The application of administrative law in community schemes in South Africa
No full textThis study examines the shortcomings in the Community Schemes Ombud Services Act's implementation in South Africa to eradicating lawlessness. This revolutionary legislation aims to close the wealth gap between South Africans, particularly that racially categorised as black and white. Given the history of apartheid, it was inevitable that the transformation agenda of the new democracy would prioritize protecting senior citizens' human rights, addressing racial inequality and discrimination in public services, and taking steps to ensure that the rights of the elderly are respected and upheld. This legislation, an initiative of the democratic South Africa, was impacted by a comparative study that led to the creation of a hybrid system that includes regulatory functions under the Ombud's control and a dispute resolution mechanism. However, the system's implementation has had several flaws.
This study employed a qualitative research design which included an examination of literature, particularly case law and recent developments in the development of the said legislation. Results include a thorough understanding of the administration and governance of schemes prior to the CSOS Act's promulgation, research conducted, new legislation and policy context post-CSOS, lessons learned about the implementation of ombud services in other nations, and the legal phenomenon of a ‘community scheme within a community scheme’, including its operational framework and legal basis, as well as regulatory decisions that adhere to administrative law. This study makes a contribution to literature that pertain to the less disadvantaged (black people) in especially rural communities in implementation of this law.LL.M. (Law)College of La
Understanding small business growth in South Africa using an integrated framework
Get PDFIn South Africa, many small businesses need help to grow. In developed countries, small
businesses do not have growth hurdles, mainly due to the understanding of the importance of
growing small businesses. Unlike in developed countries, in South Africa, the growth of small
businesses from an integrated public and private sector context need to be better understood. The
reviewed literature showed that existing frameworks, especially with regards to the finance gap
and resource theories, are generally sector-specific or not directly applicable to emerging
countries. In this research, we postulate a simple yet practical integrated framework for
understanding the growth of South African small businesses. A novel mixed methodology was
employed to understand the intricacies underlying small business growth holistically. A nonprobability
cross-sectional small business sample covering the economically important provinces
in South Africa, together with thematic analyses, was used to gauge the state of small businesses
qualitatively. A secondary bank database was quantitatively analysed to provide insight into the
nature and type of relationships between small businesses and financial institutions. The results
revealed that, in theory, product markets and human capital are the fundamental keys to
understanding small business growth in the integrated framework. Knowledge of how best to
access product markets from a small business perspective and an optimal product-market support
system from the institutional perspective are found to be the main contributors to business survival.
The understanding of human capital through the integrated funding framework is heuristically
argued to enable funders to choose businesses with a higher likelihood of releasing innovative
products and improve the likelihood of the business contributing more to the market returns. The
research showed that understanding small business growth through the integrated framework
provides a cornerstone on which private and public entities can interact to improve small business
growth. In order to strengthen the integrated framework, the research can be extended more
longitudinally over several economic business cycles, and the joint correlation of the framework
keys on business growth can be studiedD.B.L.Business Managemen
A dynamic exploration of the offenders convicted of violent crimes serving long-term sentences in the Windhoek correctional facility, maximum security unit
Get PDFViolent crime is a significant concern in Namibia, affecting various aspects of society. Addressing this issue remains a priority for all stakeholders. Understanding the identity and motives of perpetrators remains crucial. This in-depth qualitative study investigated these issues by exploring the perpetrators’ perceptions of their experiences and relationships and how these shaped their behaviour, personalities, and identities. The perspectives of their significant others and their Case Management Officer were also explored, and their case files were reviewed.
A small sample of ten offenders serving long-term sentences at the Windhoek Correctional Facility was selected through purposive sampling. The bioecological model was utilised as a theoretical framework for this study. The aim was to clearly describe offenders' identities to enhance understanding of individuals who commit violent crimes in Namibia. Ethical clearance from the University of South Africa and permission from the Ministry of Safety and Security were obtained. Informed consent was obtained from the participants before embarking on the study. Ethical standards were prioritised to safeguard the confidentiality of participants, and strict adherence to conduct rules was maintained throughout visits to the correctional facility.
A semi-structured interview guide, adapted from the South African Sex Offender Questionnaire (SAPDSOQ), exploring the participants’ past and present experiences, relationships, attitudes, values, and perceptions, was utilised during the semi-structured questionnaires. Thematic analysis was conducted using ATLAS.ti: 8, a specialised software for qualitative data analysis. Six themes were extracted, covering personality, character, relationships, lifestyle, health, socioeconomic and criminal profile. The final six identity types identified are Emotionally Dysregulated, Misogynistic, Criminal, Victim Identity, Substance-abusing, and Low Socioeconomic Identity. The findings indicate the significance of the participants’ history, the impact of poverty, fatherlessness, and the lack of insight regarding mental health and alcohol abuse. The need for community and early intervention in addressing criminality was highlighted.
Clinical psychology is underrepresented in Namibia, particularly in the criminal justice sector, and minimal research has been conducted. Thus, this study adds to the body of knowledge. The insights generated benefit the Safety and Security, Health and Social Services, and Justice ministries. It also helps professionals like social workers and psychologists working with offendersD.

Grade 9 Natural Science teachers' experiences of curriculum implementation in selected secondary schools in Ekurhuleni
No full textAbstract in English with SeSotho and Zulu translationsTeachers’ teaching experiences form an integral part of actual teaching and learning. These experiences allow teachers to develop effective strategies for enhancing learners’ development throughout the learning process. This qualitative case study explored the teaching experiences of six purposively selected teachers at identified schools in the Ekurhuleni District. The study, which was guided by Schoenfeld’s theory of teacher decision-making, adopted the interpretivist perspective. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and observation, before being transcribed and thereafter arranged into codes and themes using thematic data analysis. The findings revealed that the participating teachers faced challenges which included curriculum overload and difficulties with planning lessons. The participants acknowledged the support received at the school level and from subject advisors but specified that it was minimal. They also advocated for support from the district, as that would enhance their knowledge of teaching and learning the subject of Natural Sciences in particular. Another challenge that some participants reportedly faced was a lack of practical work, since many laboratory spaces are being used as classrooms. The majority of the participating teachers posited that the time allocated for them to teach was insufficient to cover the syllabus, therefore they felt despondent and tended to teach procedurally, bring in a hurry to finish the content. It is recommended that the Department of Basic Education (DBE) ensure that teachers are trained in the relevant content knowledge for their qualifications. The involvement of subject advisors, school management and parents must be prioritized, as these parties all play a significant role in supporting teachers. This study further recommends that the training workshops offered by the DBE focus on improving the guidance given to teachers. In conclusion, teachers who teach Natural Sciences should practice reflective teaching when making decisions, to enable them to explore more effective strategies for use in the teaching of their subject.Boiphihlelo ba ho ruta ba matitjhere bo etsa karolo ya bohlokwa ya ho ruta le ho ithuta ha nnete.

The role of the media on the development of Black Consciousness, identity and social change: a study of the 1976 and 2015-2016 student uprisings in South Africa
No full textText in EnglishThis study explores the role of media on the development of consciousness in student activists of the 1976 and 2015-2016 student movements in South Africa. It explores how media exposure influenced their consciousness, identity development, and social awareness. This study reveals that both, the 1976 student uprising and 2015-2016 Rhodes and Fees Must Fall movements, embraced the principles of Black Consciousness. It examines the influence of the Black Consciousness ideology on increasing awareness among students regarding the resistance against power structures and the questioning of South Africa's educational system. It employed two data collection techniques namely, content analysis of media texts and semi-structured interviews with student activists to understand their experiences. The study found that media is a dynamic and inclusive concept, incorporating various forms of communication such as spoken language, visual arts, literary works and musical lyrics. It was the impact of Black Consciousness and the commitment to its ideals that motivated both student groups to actively question and resist the methods and approaches used in their respective education systems. According to this study's findings, the media plays a significant role in protest movements by fostering political consciousness and shaping the concept of identity in media users. This study recommends further research on Black theology in South Africa, music as a protest medium, and the outcomes of the Fallism movement, particularly in relation to tertiary institutions and the role of the media in communicating these outcomes and holding the state accountable as a fourth estate of the realm.M.A. (Communication Science)Communication Scienc
The nexus of taxation and economic growth, income inequality and poverty : a macro and micro econometric approach for Zambia
No full textSub-Saharan Africa faces a significant challenge in mobilising tax revenue to finance essential state functions, as many economies in the region fall below the minimum desirable tax-to-GDP ratio of 15%. Despite Zambia's relatively higher tax-to-GDP ratio compared to that of other regions, poverty and income inequality levels remain stubbornly high. This research study addresses this issue by examining the relationships between taxation, economic growth, poverty, and income inequality in Zambia. The study's objectives include investigating the short-term and long-term connections between taxation and economic growth, exploring the direction of causality, and analysing the influence of direct and indirect taxes on poverty and income inequality. Additionally, the study aims to construct a tax revenue forecasting model for Zambia and offer policy recommendations. To achieve these objectives, the researcher employed a combination of macroeconometric and microsimulation models, including vector error-correction models (VECMs), autoregressive distributed lag models (ARDLs), bunching techniques, and MicroZAMOD.
This study makes several significant contributions to the literature by utilising a combination of macroeconometric and microsimulation models, incorporating mining sector revenues in the analysis, and providing revenue projections for Zambia. In addition, the study computes poverty and inequality multipliers for every additional 1 billion Kwacha in tax revenue. To unearth the effect of taxation and its redistributive effect on poverty and inequality, this study uses the MicroZAMOD. Furthermore, the study uses the Personal Income Tax (PIT) elasticities from bunching techniques to convert the MicroZAMOD from a static model to a dynamic model.
The results reveal that there is evidence of bunching around the first bracket in the PIT. Key findings underscore PIT as a potent instrument for reducing inequality, while the value added tax (VAT) emerges as a significant revenue generator but is inefficient at reducing poverty. Excise taxes and the turnover tax (TOT) have marginal effects on poverty and inequality metrics. Notably, VAT is associated with a 0.45 percentage point increase in the national poverty rate for every billion Kwacha raised, while a 1 billion Kwacha of PIT revenue is associated with an average reduction of 0.68 percentage points in the Gini coefficient.
Granger causality analysis suggests that PIT, the corporate income tax (CIT), VAT, changes in the copper price, and mining tax revenue have causal relationships with gross domestic product.
(GDP), indicating that lagged values of these variables enhance the model's ability to predict GDP. Additionally, impulse response function and variance decomposition analysis reveal the impact of shocks in these variables on GDP, with VAT notably contributing to GDP growth over time, while negative shocks in mining tax revenue consistently result in GDP decline. In the short run, corporate income tax and personal income tax negatively impact GDP growth, while value-added tax (VAT) and trade openness have positive effects. Conversely, mining tax revenue and government consumption show no significant short-term impact on GDP growth. Long-term analysis reveals that VAT, mining tax revenue, trade openness, and the exchange rate positively influence GDP growth, whereas personal income tax and oil price changes exhibit negative impacts
This will be the first study to use these two approaches to model policy impacts in a developing country. Furthermore, this study offers essential insights for policymakers in Zambia and other developing countries by emphasising the importance of balanced taxation policies and targeted investments in key sectors for sustainable development and poverty reduction through the recommendation of empirical policy reform scenarios.D.

Precise measurements of W- and Z-boson transverse momentum spectra with the ATLAS detector using pp collisions at s = 5.02 TeV and 13 TeV
No full textAbstract This paper describes measurements of the transverse momentum spectra of W and Z bosons produced in proton–proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of s = 5.02 TeV and s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Measurements are performed in the electron and muon channels, W → ℓ ν and Z → ℓ ℓ ( ℓ = e or μ ), and for W events further separated by charge. The data were collected in 2017 and 2018, in dedicated runs with reduced instantaneous luminosity, and correspond to 255 and 338 pb - 1 at s = 5.02 TeV and 13 TeV, respectively. These conditions optimise the reconstruction of the W-boson transverse momentum. The distributions observed in the electron and muon channels are unfolded, combined, and compared to QCD calculations based on parton shower Monte Carlo event generators and analytical resummation. The description of the transverse momentum distributions by Monte Carlo event generators is imperfect and shows significant differences largely common to W - , W + and Z production. The agreement is better at s = 5.02 TeV, especially for predictions that were tuned to Z production data at s = 7 TeV. Higher-order, resummed predictions based on DYTurbo generally match the data best across the spectra. Distribution ratios are also presented and test the understanding of differences between the production processes
Employee communication satisfaction of performance management at a South African University: a qualitative and quantitative analysis
Get PDFEmployee communication satisfaction with performance management is examined in the study at a selected open distance and e-learning (ODeL) university. In general, performance management involves managing employee efforts based on measured performance outcomes. Whereas different models of managing performance exist, this study looked at the formulation of performance management policy, implementation, and staff members’ satisfaction. For any organisation to achieve an effective employee performance management system, it must be perceived by employees to be applied consistently in different stages. These stages may include planning, monitoring, and evaluation. Secondly, the goals of individuals, as depicted in employee performance management, should be linked to organisational strategic goals. The objective of the study is to explore and investigate the communication of the performance management policy during its formulation and implementation process in the selected university. Furthermore, it examines the employees’ perceptions and attitudes on the implementation process of performance management policies in the selected university, and lastly, recommends measures that could be taken to enhance the effective use of communication in performance management.
Notwithstanding its considerable contribution to the life of an organisation, it has not been spared criticism and is a major source of frustration for employees and managers alike. Within the higher education sector, more communication, tighter control, and contracting flexibility between lecturing and administrative staff are some elements associated with employee satisfaction with the performance management system. Little research has examined the development and application of performance management in higher education institutions. This study attempts to close that paucity of research.
Communication satisfaction was used as a theoretical framework to guide the study because of its ability to link organisational objectives, team, and individual performance. The study used mixed-method research, and managers, administrative workers, and the human resources department provided data via self-administered online questionnaires and interviews. The mixed-research method aimed to acquire more data and a comprehensive understanding of the problem of the study and improve evaluation by ensuring that the strengths of each element balance the limitations of one type of data against another. To collect qualitative data the researcher conducted interviews by using open-ended questions to allow a discussion and engagement with the interviewees to express their feelings and share their knowledge and understanding of the research problem. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) is the computer software package that was used to collect quantitative data. This software package provides an efficient and organised way to manage large and complex data sets and perform advanced statistical analysis.
Collected data was analysed using thematic analysis and descriptive statistics. This study revealed a lack of regular communication between management and staff, and in instances where communication occurs, it is mainly top-down and negatively affects performance. Staff members are not exposed to the PM (performance management) policy development process but are expected to commit to its implementation.
The study revealed that employees are not involved in the formulation process of performance management policy, which poses a challenge as they should implement it. Participants indicated that supervisors/managers do not explain the PM implementation process. They should discuss the PM template when it is time for contracting. Furthermore, managers/supervisors do not communicate and explain the PM implementation process; the focus is on completing and contracting on the performance management template. The study recommends that there should be more awareness of performance management policy. Staff should participate in the formulation process of the PM policy. There is a lack of communication between managers and subordinates, especially about the PM formulation and implementation process.
The study adds value to an ongoing discourse about performance management and communication's role in performance management. Operationally, university managers and staff members should devise creative means to lower tensions associated with performance management. This study was conducted in an OdeL university; future studies should focus on residential universities, universities of technology, and TVETs to draw more on the complexities prevalent in those training institutions.M.A. (Communication Science)Communication Scienc
Exploring resilience as a component of academic success among selected grade 10 and 11 learners in Thabo Mofutsanyane District, Eastern Free State
No full textThere is global concern about the poor academic performance of learners, specifically learners from disadvantaged backgrounds such as those found in the Thabo Mofutsanyane District. However, there are some learners in the Thabo Mofutsanyane District, who are performing well academically, despite the disadvantages they face. Therefore, an investigation was necessary to establish why certain learners succeed academically, despite the adverse conditions. The researcher utilised a case study design to explore this phenomenon and collected data through individual and focus group interviews as well as academic reports. Thematic content analysis was used to analyse the data obtained from learners, teachers, and parents/guardians. Two schools, with twenty participants from each school, were chosen, using a purposive sample technique. In this study, the researcher found several factors that enabled learners from disadvantaged backgrounds to be academically resilient and, thereby, academically successful. These include, for example, positive intrapersonal characteristics such as self-efficacy beliefs, confidence, self-dialogue, fear of failing, and the ability to use the deprived conditions as intrinsic motivation for self-improvement and personal growth. Other social factors are their family members, teachers, principals, the school governing body (SGB), the DBE District Office and the Department of Education. Findings further indicated that, besides the resources provided by the community centres, neighbours and friends, the use of digital technology also enabled academic resilience. There is a need for further studies to explore how private tutoring, proxy teachers and a belief in supernatural powers can enhance academic resilience and, thereby, academic success. More research is also needed to determine how the Department of Education, the DBE District Offices, SGBs and school principals’ use of electronic devices and financial resources can promote academic resilience and the academic success of learners. Lastly, another avenue for further studies is on the role played by cultural rituals and the community, as well as intelligence as a biological aspect in the learners' psychological, social and environmental readiness, and on how this could promote academic resilience and academic success.Ho na le ngongoreho ya lefatshe ka ho se sebetse hantle ha baithuti dithutong, haholoholo baithuti ba tswang malapeng a hlokang menyetla jwaloka a fumanehang Seterekeng sa Thabo Mofutsanyane.

The investigation on the impact of societal structure on violation of the rights of women and children in Limpopo : church and African tradition perspective
No full textAfrican traditions have a significant impact on the societal structures, the Churches, and schools. The secular government also contributed to the increase of gender-based violence since the corrective measures were insufficient to curb the challenges. The purpose of this study is to create an awareness among the Churches, traditional lead-ers, and other structures who are concerned about the welfare of women and children, clearly indicating that violence is neither God’s purpose of creation nor the purpose of the African tradition. Furthermore, the researcher intended to provoke the faith com-munities to re-look and re-examine their teachings of the Bible with a new perspective that will promote the rights of women and children. By means of interviews and ques-tionnaires, the researcher examined human experiences provided by the participants and added these to a literature review.M. Th.
