Abstract:

<strong>Introduction.</strong> Adolescent substance use has a number of adverse consequences for both the individual and society. Anecdotal evidence suggested the existence of a serious substance use problem among learners in Atteridgeville, part of the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality in Gauteng, South Africa. <strong></strong><p><strong>Objectives.</strong> The objectives of the study were to determine the prevalence rates and age of initiation of substance use among learners attending secondary schools in Atteridgeville, and the factors, if any, associated with cannabis use.</p><p><strong>Methods.</strong> This was a cross-sectional study. A cluster sampling technique was employed. Twenty-two of the total of 191 grade 8 - 11 classes in the nine Atteridgeville secondary schools were randomly selected, with all 895 learners in the selected classes being invited to participate. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data. Statistical analysis was conducted using the survey estimation commands in STATA 10.0. <strong></strong></p><p><strong>Results.</strong> The lifetime prevalence rates for the three most commonly used substances were 51.4% (95% confidence interval (CI) 41.5 - 61.5%) for alcohol, 25.2% (95% CI 17.1 - 33.3%) for cigarettes and 13.2% (95% CI 8.3 - 18.2%) for cannabis. Alcohol was also found to have the lowest mean age of initiation at 14.6 years (standard deviation 2.0). Based on CRAFFT screening scores, 30.3% (95% CI 24.5 - 36.1%) of learners met the criteria for possible problem substance use. Following multivariate analysis, the factors found to be significantly associated with lifetime cannabis use were age, gender, lifetime cigarette use, lifetime alcohol use, the number of illicit drug users among the learners’ five closest friends, and an older sibling with a history of illicit drug use.</p><p><strong>Conclusion.</strong> The results of the study suggest that substance use among learners in Atteridgeville is widespread and that a comprehensive intervention strategy is required.</p>

Abstract:

ABSTRACTIn contrast to the tolerant and largely peaceful ‘living politics' of informal settlements, as embodied by the social movement Abahlali baseMjondolo, this article considers a darker side of squatter politics: ‘xenophobic’ mobilization. I show how the historical stratification of citizenship in South Africa remains spatially embedded in longstanding informal settlements, where distinctive repertoires of collective action have been shaped by a (still unfinished) history of struggle for inclusion. Using archival research and interviews conducted in the informal settlements of Atteridgeville, Gauteng, I show how the continuing struggle for equal citizenship draws on shared experiences of mundane hardship and collective labour, giving rise to social distance between established local squatters and politically indifferent foreign newcomers. At times of protest, this polarity is concentrated by and converges with familiar practices of insurgent citizenship, creating a context for mobilization against foreigners. In this sense, ‘xenophobic’ mobilization may be seen to articulate a claim for inclusion by structurally excluded ‘citizens', rather than an exclusionary claim by those who already belong. The article provides a useful counterpoint to readings of ‘xenophobic’ violence that focus on the role of elite discourses, instrumental leaders or crude racial identities in shaping such mobilization.

Abstract:

The increase in the incidence of cancer in South Africa necessitates the expansion of preventative efforts. This study shows that traditional healers in Atteridgeville are consulted by a range of people in their communities, have a basic knowledge of cancer, provide health education to their patients and are willing to participate in cancer preventative strategies. They are therefore ideally suited to augment the services of westernized health care workers. The issue of professionalization is explored and a procedure is suggested whereby the training of traditional healers can be enhanced so as to facilitate their professionalization and their collaboration with other health care workers in the prevention of cancer.

Abstract:

The objectives of the study were to provide quantitative information on the material benefits generated from urban farming in order to assess the contribution of this activity to the food security and nutrition of participating households and to explore the meaning of urban agriculture in the livelihood of participants. The study was conducted in five informal settlements of Atteridgeville, Pretoria and involved a pilot study, a household survey and multiple case studies using participants in the different types of urban farming projects as units of data collection and analysis. More than half of the households in the study area participated in urban farming which consisted of home gardening, group gardening and dryland farming in open urban spaces. Active participation was predominantly by women. The contribution to total household income and food security of the different types of farming found in the study area was generally modest but the livelihood benefits derived from urban farming extended far beyond material gain, reducing social alienation and the disintegration of families associated with urban poverty. Lack of space and limited access to water for irrigation were the main constraints that affected participants in urban farming.

This study examines the understandings of twenty-eight teachers in primary schools in Atteridgeville and Saulsville in South Africa with regard to outcome-based education and how their understanding influences the manner in which they implemented Curriculum 2005 (OBE) policy initiative which the South African government mandated for implementation in 1997. Four major findings emerged from this study. First, the majority of the teachers in the study supported the implementation of Curriculum 2005. Second, teachers had varying levels of understanding of the Curriculum 2005 policy. Third, teachers lacked preparation for implementation because comprehensive staff development opportunities were not available. Fourth, structural problems relative to fiscal resources and a flawed policy development process hindered teachers' understanding and implementation of Curriculum 2005. The findings revealed there is great teacher support for the implementation of Curriculum 2005 (OBE). The teachers believed Curriculum 2005 (OBE) has the potential of changing policy direction in education for the black majority students who received a poor quality of education prior to its implementation. The findings also revealed that teachers' varying levels of understanding of the Curriculum 2005 policy initiative are due to a lack of (a) quality teacher preparation, (b) effective staff development, (c) financial resources, and (d) effective policy development and implementation. These findings partly explain the teachers lack of understanding of Curriculum 2005 (OBE) and their failure to implement it. Two major conclusions were drawn from this study. First, the variations in the levels of support and understanding of Curriculum 2005 (OBE) among primary school teachers in Atteridgeville and Saulsville resulted mainly from a lack of quality teacher preparation before the introduction of Curriculum 2005 (OBE) and effective staff development during the implementation of Curriculum 2005 (OBE).

Abstract:

This study was undertaken to explore the barriers to the sustainability of the spaza shops in Atteridgeville (wards, 51, 62, 63, 68, 71 and 72) and to identify the support strategies necessary to assist these shops to grow into sustainable businesses. The study was motivated by the role and contributions of these stores in creating jobs for the majority of the previously disadvantaged people, particularly in the black township areas of South Africa. The study was exploratory, descriptive and qualitative in nature. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to obtain data from 18 spaza shop owners. The findings from the research indicated the following barriers to be responsible for the failure of the spaza shops: lack of financial support, lack of business management skills, expensive transportation, limited trading space, crime, negative competition among spaza shop owners, and lack of cooperatives among spaza shop owners. The study recommends that spaza shop owners should ensure that they have enough savings before embarking on business and that they should also attend training in business management to equip themselves. Spaza shop owners also need to establish collaborative ventures among themselves to enable them to voice their concerns as a collective, rather than as individuals. Government, in partnership with private sector, should improve the effectiveness of its support strategies, for example by assisting spaza shops in forming cooperatives and facilitating training in business skills. It is also recommended that the government, through the Department of Trade and Industry, should continue to find out better ways to aid these stores financially. It is the researcher’s opinion that if these recommendations are followed, they could lead to the success of these stores.

Abstract:

Thesis (MTech. degree in Education.)--Tshwane University of Technology, 2011.
South Africa emanated from a centralised education system, which was characterised by apartheid laws, policies and principles. These policies and principles allowed little opportunity for community participation during decision making. The community, parents, educators and learners had little say on educational matters affecting them. The hierarchical methods of schools determined the processes, styles and effectiveness of decision-making within those schools. These hierarchies are contrary to the basic human drive to learn, to find work meaningful, and to express creativity, responsibility and competence. The purpose of this study was to deepen and examine the understanding leadership practices that promote shared decision-making in schools.

Abstract:

M.Ed.
This study looks at parental involvement in selected schools in Atteridgeville. A sample of parents and teachers were the source of data pertaining to the issue. The research findings revealed that parents were interested in their children's learning and in the school, but that they lacked confidence in many instances. The theory supporting these findings comes mostly from Townsend (1984) and Sergiovanni (1994). The study was conducted by means of interviews with parents selected from schools in Atteridgeville. The suggestion made from this study is that a parent training programme, based on the programme mentioned by Townsend and Elder (1998) on Pacific Islands, should be introduced in township schools.
