Thesis (LLD)--University of Stellenbosch, 2002.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The central issue which is considered in this thesis is the meaning of the constitutional guarantees of religious rights and freedoms in South Africa. In other words, it is concerned with the functions of the state, through its laws or conduct, in respect of religion and with its relationship towards the institutional church or religious community. It is argued that religious freedom is, in fact, a bundle of rights and freedoms. The "essential rights and freedoms of religion" which constitute this "bundle" are identifie

The South African Council of Churches (SACC) played an extremely crucial role during the struggle against apartheid. The role of the SACC was first and foremost to provide a voice for the voiceless.

As a result of its fight against the inequalities that existed in South Africa, its work adopted a political character. In the aftermath of post-apartheid South Africa, the SACC was left with the task of redefining its role within South African society and civil society, speci

Abstract:
Apparent losses form an important component of the International Water Association's water balance. While apparent losses look like real losses to a municipality, this is not actually the case. The main components of apparent losses are water meter under-registration and unauthorised consumption. Water utilities in South Africa and internationally are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of good meter management practices based on the vast amount of literature published and work done by municipalities in recent years. Water meters are known to increasingly under-register as they age a

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references.<br>Rainfall is a natural occurring phenomenon, and is usually a welcome event, nourishing the earth and with it the fauna and flora. When the runoff is high, flooding occurs, leading to damage to the environment, property and even to loss of life. Flooding is becoming more common. The reasons for this are complex, and include social expansion, urbanization and may also result from global warming. These flooding events have significant implications to the engineering profession and the affected communities. The estimation of peak design floods is necessary f

Includes abstract.<br>Includes bibliographical references.<br>The aim of this research was to develop an understanding of and measure the potential for sustainability in a South African urban water context. This was achieved through the use of a systems approach to develop and evaluate a composite index – the Sustainability Index for Integrated Urban Water Management (SIUWM) – based on a vision of what sustainable urban water management means to decision makers at selected local authorities around the country. The vision was expanded into a sustainability framework to identify suitable key ind

Thesis (MScEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2011.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Hybrid concrete construction (HCC) is a construction technique that makes use of both in-situ and pre-fabricated concrete products by making optimum use of the advantages of both these methods in the same project. Although the advantages of this building method is well recognised throughout the world and a feasibility study illustrated that HCC is a suitable building method in South Africa, it remains under-utilised in the country. HCC encourages early involvement from the project team and provides clients with the best v
