Abstract:
Despite the growing body of literature focusing on men and masculinity/ies, there is limited material that adequately explores the everyday experiences and specificities of being and living as a man in diverse social and cultural contexts. Furthermore, inadequate consideration is given to the unique ways in which men redefine, renegotiate and reconstruct their masculinities and multiple identities over time, or the challenges/limitations that they may experience during this process. More importantly, there is a lack of critical attention given to men’s agentic roles in supporting a vision for

Abstract:
This thesis explores “private property ownership” in Alexandra Township, South Africa. Adopting the term mmastandi1 as an analytical tool I highlight that there are other ways of understanding private property. I argue that though closely linked to the mode of appropriating property, the term denotes more than just a name signifying “possessing a property”. Instead it invokes understanding of owning a stand, a piece of land which was developed through building a home. Additionally, at the core of the concept of mmastandi is the fact that the relationships to a stand were defined by a myriad of

M.Cur.<br>The overall aim of the study is to explore and describe the factors that influence the accessibility of PHC services in Alexandra Township. Most of the time the public clinics in Alexandra rely on part-time nursing personnel to render health services. Sometimes there are so few nurses on duty that they cannot manage to perform all the services required in the clinic and the community. There are long queues of patients and they are often turned away because they cannot be attended to. Statistics (Clinic Statistics, Jan 2000-Dec 2000) show that about 100 000 people out of the total pop

ABSTRACT South Africa faces increasing levels of disaster risk. The country and citizens are exposed to a wide range of weather hazards, including drought, cyclones and severe storms that can trigger widespread hardship and devastation. The country’s extensive coastline and proximity to shipping routes present further numerous marine and coastal threats. Despite ongoing progress to extend essential services to poor urban and rural communities, large numbers of people live in conditions of chronic disaster vulnerability.

Accommodation shortage in Alexandra Township, South Africa, has resulted in the establishment of informal settlements on any open land including Jukskei River banks. The closely built dwellings among several other factors have made refuse removal difficult and sanitation facilities inadequate, hence waste including human excreta is discharged on open lands or into the Jukskei. These wastes affect the water quality of the Jukskei River. This study, therefore, determined the changes in water quality as the Jukskei River flowed past Alexandra.
