Towards an integrated solid waste management strategy for the Robben Island Museum
No full textBibliography: leaves 104-109.This study assesses the process of solid waste management, from generation to disposal, on Robben Island. The major objectives of this research were the following: * To assess the quantity and the type of solid waste generated on Robben Island; * To investigate the areas where waste is generated; * To assess current waste management practices that are undertaken on Robben Island; and * To assess the level of understanding, the attitudes and the behaviour of people working and residing on Robben Island with regards to waste management issues. As a popular tourist destination site, the researcher took into consideration during the investigation that, waste quantities generated on Robben Island might vary from season to season depending on the number of tourists visiting the island per season

Robben Island penguin pressure model: a decision support tool for an ecosystems approach to fisheries management
No full textIncludes bibliographical references.The African penguin (Spheniscus demersus) population in southern Africa has declined from approximately 575 000 adults at the start of the 20th century to 180 000 adults in the early 1990s. The population is still declining, leading to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature upgrading the status of African penguins to Endangered on the Red List of Threatened Species. This dissertation uses a systems dynamics approach to produce a model incorporating all important pressures. The model is stochastic and spatially explicit, and uses expert opinion where data are not available. The model has been produced and revised with the help of the Penguin Modelling Group, based at the University of Cape Town. The modelling process culminated in a workshop where participants experimented with the model themselves. The model in this dissertation is only applicable to the penguin population on Robben Island and, as such, conclusions drawn cannot necessarily be applied to other penguin colonies
Robben Island
No full textOn “Robben Island”: letters home from political prisoners on Robben Island to family in mainland South Africa were usually heavily censored and sometimes “lost”. The place Robben Island connected for me with the collection’s idea of “letters home” because of its peculiar exilic status vis‐à‐vis the country: geographically within and yet outside; a place of incarceration for so‐called social pariahs, of suffering for potential political messiahs. The stories of Robben Island were anathema to a minority; an emerging national theme to a majority. This story emerges out of such associations. It reflects, too, on the commodification of history—of ideas of struggle, freedom and even home—that goes along with the formation of a transnational tourist industry. Robben Island is already South Africa’s most popular tourist site. In years to come very few will remember that its apparently anonymous prison walls were once scored across with its inmates’ writing: their slogans, expletives, favourite quotations, mottoes, drawings
