Full textAbstract:
The aim of this paper was to quantify the external costs of mining and transporting coal to the Kusile coal-fired power station in eMalahleni. Monetary values were estimated for a number of impacts including its contribution to climate change, human health effects of classic air pollutants, mortality and morbidity, impacts of water pollution and water consumption. The results of the study disclosed that coal mining and transportation will inflict costs to both the environment and humans of between R6 538 million and R12 690 million per annum, or between 20.24 c/kWh and 39.3 c/kWh sent out. The external effect of water consumption (opportunity costs of water) constitutes over 90% of the total cost, followed by global warming damage costs and ecosystem services lost due to coal mining. The estimated externality cost is approximately between 50% and 100% of the current average electricity price.

Full textAbstract:
Long term growth and sustainability of cooperatives has become the focus of many countries worldwide. Cooperatives have been seen as the platform for uplifting disadvantaged communities while improving standards of the poor in countries such as Canada, Kenya, Ghana and Nigeria (Department of Trade and Industry, 2012). In South Africa, cooperatives are seen as playing a role in poverty eradication, equal distribution of wealth, employment creation, food security and as a contributor to the economic activity. The South African government have implemented policies aimed at improving the performance and sustainability of agriculture cooperatives in South Africa. Despite all the efforts cooperatives still face sustainability challenges. Therefore the purpose of this research was to investigate the sustainability challenges that prevent the permanent establishment of cooperatives and to understand the dynamics and nature of failure associated with agricultural cooperatives .A case study methodology was used to examine a single case in-depth and to understand the factors affecting agricultural cooperatives. The main challenges identified in the study include; poor communication, limited access to markets, access to finance, a lack of good governance and a lack of managerial skills. The study recommended capacity building as the first point of reference in order to deal with challenges such as communication, access to markets and a lack of managerial skills. A lack of good governance is regarded as an attitude problem which requires setting ethical standards and rules accompanied by a penalty to the member if they are found to be breaking the rules. Access to finances is regarded as a skills and competence phenomenon which requires people to develop planning and financial literacy skills, which will enable them to formulate business plans and use them as a control tool for managing the cooperative. The business plan is also regarded as an asset or security document which acts as a proof that the cooperative is well planned, organised and sustainable. The research concludes with suggesting areas for future study to investigate the impact of informal education practices on skills development in the success of cooperatives.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The lack of jobs in South Africa and eMalahleni has caused many young people to seek their own
job opportunities in the form of setting up their own business. Despite this, many young business
people fail in their ventures due to low capital. In response to this, organisations such as the
National Youth Development Agency have created support structures to support young business
owners in their local area.
The purpose of this study is to explore the extent to which the structures and programmes to
support youth development – as far as entrepreneurship is concerned – help to cultivate the
creation of businesses among the black youth in eMalahleni. Thirty participants who are young
entrepreneurs (under 35 years) participated in interviews that helped to elucidate qualitative
information about the support structures. They were asked how the support structures had helped
them if they participated, or the reasons why they chose not to use the support structure. They
were also asked to identify potential bottlenecks or issues with the support structures that may be
preventing them from being fully accessible.
The results showed that a lack of trust in the support structures, particularly those created by the
National Youth Development Agency, was a major reason for non-participation or choice not to
use. Additionally, many felt that the hierarchy and unwelcoming atmosphere of the support
structures prevented young people from applying. Other reasons given were the fact that the
support structures may not always be geographically accessible and the fact that staff members
were not fully trained to be as helpful as possible. There are several ways in which these support
structures could be improved that are detailed in this research document. The most important
recommendation relates to ensuring that the red tape is removed to make the support structures
more helpful to a larger number of young black entrepreneurs. Creating a more local atmosphere
may also help the support structures to reach their full potential.

Full textAbstract:
A detailed mathematical modelling framework for the risk of airborne infectious disease transmission
in indoor spaces was developed. This modelling framework enables the mathematical analysis of
experiments conducted at the Airborne Infections Research (AIR) facility of eMalahleni, South Africa.
A model was built using this framework to explore possible causes of why an experiment at the AIR
facility, from 31 August 2015 to 4 December 2015, did not produce expected results. In this experiment
the efficacy of upper room germicidal ultraviolet (GUV) irradiation as an environmental control was
tested. However, the experiment did not produce the expected outcome of having fewer infections in
the test animal room than in the control room. The simulation results indicate that dynamic effects,
caused by switching the GUV lights, power outages, or introduction of new patients, did not result in
the unexpected outcomes. However, a sensitivity analysis highlights that significant uncertainty exists
with risk of transmission predictions based on current measurement practices, due to the reliance on
large viable literature ranges for parameters.
This work builds on the commonly used Wells-Riley equation for the circumstance of the research
facility by including additional mechanisms and dynamics. The model framework is given modularly, to assist in the manipulation of the model for different research questions that are wished to be explored
using such a facility. The developed mathematical model is found useful in improving understanding of
the risk of infection of airborne infectious diseases in indoor spaces, and in the theoretical exploration
of the experiment. Especially the dynamics of the model helped to investigate whether the switching
rate of the upper room GUV lights was adequately slow so that one room did indeed get more infectious
particles than another.<br>Dissertation (MEng)--University of Pretoria, 2020.<br>Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering<br>MEng<br>Unrestricted

Full textAbstract:
A high number of skilled engineers continue to leave the Emalahleni Local Municipality subject to a skills shortage leading to poor public service delivery in the municipality. The exodus of engineers from the municipality to the surrounding mining and steel mill industries raises a serious concern for the municipality since it cannot fully satisfy its constitutional mandate of public service delivery to the local households. It is the conviction of this study that municipalities need to develop strong and sustainable administrative capacity to retain scarce and critical skills. This is because administrative capacity has a direct impact on the skills capacity of municipal institutions. This study explores the retention strategies for engineering interns pertinent to the Emalahleni Local Municipality. This is done with the intention of determining the role of Human Resource Management (HRM) in attracting and retaining critical skills using internship programmes. Using the analysis of documents as a means of data gathering, the study presents three case studies of internship programmes from two distinct government institutions. The case studies reveals that these two government institutions have a similar policy approach to internship programmes, but there is a variance in the practical administration of the programmes. The study concludes that it is the practical administration of internship programmes and policies that determine the weaknesses and strengths of the programmes in as far as the retention of scarce skills is concerned.<br>Dissertation (MAdmin)--University of Pretoria, 2014.<br>tm2015<br>School of Public Management and Administration (SPMA)<br>MAdmin<br>Unrestricted

Mngomezulu, Kesetseng Maria. "The lived experiences of nurses in specialized areas during strike actions at a tertiary hospital in Emalahleni district in Mpumalanga." Diss., University of Pretoria, 2019. http://hdl.handle.net/2263/72640.
Full textAbstract:
Strike actions have been a common phenomenon in health care settings for a very long time. Nurses have been participating in those strike actions since they are members of labour unions even though there are serious concerns regarding nurses’ participation. These concerns, among others, include the nobility of the profession, ethical considerations and the nurses’ pledge of service. These concerns pose challenges to nurses, especially in specialized areas, because the nurses working in those areas, render nursing care to the most vulnerable patients.
AIM: The aim of this study is to explore the lived experiences of nurses in specialized areas regarding their participation in strike actions.
METHODOLOGY: A qualitative research design using an interpretative phenomenology approach was followed in a tertiary hospital in Emalahleni, Nkangala district in Mpumalanga Province. Collection of data was done by in-depth interviews, with a purposively selected sample of nurses in specialized areas. Sample size was 10 participants. Data analysis was done using Colaizzi’s (1978) data analysis framework from the in-depth interviews conducted on the lived experiences of the study participants during strike actions.
FINDINGS: The findings of the study provided an understanding of the strike action as an endorsed activity within the international and national labour laws. Four themes namely, Ethical and moral effects of strike actions, living with fear, “Amagundwane”, “we will deal with you”; and Strike actions as an economic weapon emerged from the analysis and were guided by critical theory. from this study contribute to the body of knowledge in labor unions regarding the importance and value of specialized nursing care. The findings will be published in journals, and shared with the management of the specific hospital, study participants and labour unions.
CONCLUSION: Strike actions are still a common phenomenon and nurses will always participate in them because they are also members of labour unions, but the was a need to explore how they experience strike actions. The study concluded that most of the study participants were not willing to participate in strike actions, but were compelled by circumstances to do so, as they were identified in the four themes.<br>Dissertation (MCur)--University of Pretoria, 2019.<br>Nursing Science<br>MCur<br>Unrestricted

Full textAbstract:
The study was about the impact of income generating projects on poverty alleviation and was conducted on Ibuyambo Secondary Cooperative Ltd at Emalahleni Local Municipality within Chris Hani District Municipality in the Eastern Cape. Ibuyambo Secondary Cooperative Ltd consisted of seven primary cooperatives from which data was collected from 18 respondents through questionnaires. To complement that, interviews were conducted with six key informants from government departments and other development stakeholders in the same area. The study was conducted in August 2013. The study covered a literature review on poverty as one variable, with focus on its definition; theoretical perspectives of poverty; poverty in development thought; global statistics on poverty; historical background of poverty in South Africa; structural adjustment programmes as a major cause of poverty; and causes of poverty in sub-Saharan Africa. A literature review of income generation as another variable was also undertaken, with emphasis on definitions; the experience of income generation projects/activities (IGPs/IGAs); key factors for the successful implementation and management of projects; income generation projects and sustainable livelihoods; income generation and poverty alleviation programmes in South Africa; as well as a case study of projects under IRDP in India. The results of the study indicated that Ibuyambo Secondary Cooperative Ltd was generating income. However due to poor governance, mismanagement of funds and theft it was running at a loss and was struggling to finance its working capital and other member benefits. As such it was not making a meaningful impact on alleviating poverty on its members. The study also gave recommendations on the findings.

Full textAbstract:
Magister Scientiae - MSc (Biotechnology)<br>The treatment of mine water at the eMalahleni Water Reclamation Plant (EWRP) results in the
production of large volumes of brine. Different brine management methods have been applied
to dispose the brine but the evaporation pond method is regarded as the cheaper, most effective
and less laborious method for brine disposal. Brine wastewater is pumped into the pond where
it evaporates resulting in the mixture of salts. The rate at which evaporation occurs is influenced
by many factors such as temperature, salinity, humidity and wind. Due to high salinities in
brine the EWRP is currently experiencing a challenge with low evaporation rate. Here, a
comparative study was done to determine the efficiency of using a chemical and a biological
approach to enhance the evaporation rate of reject brine. The chemical approach involved the
addition of various concentrations of methylene blue dye (100 to 300 ppm with 50 ppm
increments) to 1L volumes of brine, and measuring the evaporation rate. On the other hand, the
biological approach involved the isolation of pigmented halophilic bacteria from eMalahleni
brine and Cerebos salt samples. Isolated bacterial strains were characterised based on their
morphology, biochemical and salt tolerance characteristics. Furthermore, the strains were
identified using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Among the isolated halophilic bacterial
strains, EP-3, an Arthobacter agilis isolated from the eMalahleni brine produced a darker
pigment compared to the other strains. Therefore, EP-3 was evaluated for its effect on the
evaporation of brine using a culture inoculum or the addition pigment extracted from an EP-3
culture. The addition of MB above 100 ppm overcame the effect of salt precipitation and
resulted in higher evaporation (41%) rate. Addition of pigmented bacteria or bacterial extracted
pigment to the brine respectively resulted in 18% and 24% increase in the evaporation rate.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was to investigate the alignment of human resources with the strategic plan at Emalahleni Local Municipality in Chris Hani District Municipality, Eastern Cape. The alignment of the human resources plan with the strategic plan is the requirement for inclusive integrated planning legislated in local government acts. The research in this area does not investigate the alignment of the human resources plan with the strategic plan especially in Eastern Cape local government. Integrated planning which is inclusive of human resource development and performance management is a legal requirement legislated in the Local Government Municipal Systems Act no. 32 of 2000. From the literature review it was evident that it is essential for organisations to have a clear vision and measurable specific attainable time-bound objectives which could transpire into measurable performance standards. For achievement of the strategic objectives human resource planning of the organisation has to be informed by the objectives of the organisation so that there can be a relationship between the employees and the business in which they are employed. The literature raised the importance of the involvement of the human resource manager and employees in general in the development of human resource strategy and strategy planning in the organisation and the performance of the organisation. A combination of the qualitative and quantitative approaches was used to achieve the objectives of evaluation research used as the research design in the study. A document study, interviews, and questionnaires were used to investigate the alignment studied. The participants were employees ranging from managers to lowest-level employees. The main patterns that emerged from collected data were the lack of clear strategic objectives, lack of alignment of the strategic plan and human resources, the lack of human resource strategy and development, and performance management systems. Emalahleni Local Municipality was then advised to review and reconceptualise its strategy plan to contain objectives which were clear, specific and measurable, and strategic objectives to include a human resource strategy for human resource alignment with the strategic plan. Such alignment could lead to integrated planning which could be measured to evaluate failure or success in the achievement of the strategic objectives.

Full textAbstract:
This study analyses the effectiveness of community participation in service delivery. The area of study, the Chris Ham District Municipality (CHDM), is a Water Services Authority, responsible for ensuring access to water services (water and sanitation) by all communities within its jurisdiction. There are eight local municipalities within the CHDM. The objective of this study is to determine whether systems are in place in local government to promote participation by communities in service delivery projects and whether these systems are being utilised efficiently by the role-players concerned. The role-players in this research are people who are involved in community development programmes of the municipality (municipal staff in the relevant departments of the municipalities under study, the social facilitators, civil society organisations, ward committees, ward councillors, traditional authorities as well as the representatives of communities (Project Steering Committees) who are beneficiaries of the projects under study). The projects that are under study were selected from a readily available list of CHDM capital projects that appear in the 2003/2004 financial year funding plan and are running. The findings of the study at both levels (local and district) show that the municipal environment is not conducive to promoting community participation. This is linked to factors such as the structural arrangements, whereby the offices relevant for promoting community participation are not fully occupied, which provided evidence that community participation is not prioritised. There is lack of coordination of programmes within the local government spheres as well within departments of the DM and strategies for community participation have been found to be non-effective. At project level lack of community participation is linked to the utilisation of ward committees as the only mechanism for community participation regardless of its un-equal and party biased representation. This study therefore concludes that although the systems to promote community participation are in place, they are not effective.

Full textAbstract:
On first impression, it would seem that globalisation is producing an increasingly homogenous trans-border world, whereby, as a result of key changes including the impact of technological improvements, foreign travel, the spread of westernised cultural identities, market capitalism, and liberal democracy, the point has been reached where it is now becoming difficult to tell different localities apart. In this process, it is often forgotten what role individual places assume in the creation of this globalised world and that not all will benefit from globalisation. In many respects, locally specific activities, including urban renewal, place promotion, and infrastructural developments pursued within a selection of the planet's most strategically connected cities are now the primary catalysts of, and the influence behind, globalisation. Likewise, community-businesses, rural micro-industries, and alternative livelihoods are some of the key mechanisms that under-privileged localities in developing countries are employing to either respond to the marginalization imposed by globalisation, or to simply ensure survival. The emergence of localisation theory has therefore acknowledged and exemplified the importance of the locality in the context of the global economy as either a key node within it or a point within which people must engage in coping strategies, often as a result of the negative impacts of globalisation. In recent years, varying styles of locality-based development have become central to enhancing both the pro-growth global competitiveness of a number of South African localities, as well as for initiating pro-poor interventions in several of the country's smaller towns and rural areas. In the City of Cape Town, millions of Rands have been invested by the municipality and the private sector in urban regeneration strategies,which have led to an economic rebirth in the city centre and have generated numerous jobs in the tertiary and construction sectors that have helped to enhance the city's global stature. In Ndlambe Municipality, two community-businesses, which have received national funding and have strong municipal support, employ fifty people between them and have demonstrated the advantages of participatory action in propoor local development, within the context of the open market. In Emalahleni Municipality, attempts at locality-based development have been instigated directly by the local poor themselves and have been organised by members of the community in the face of non-existent local government support, which have resulted in the creation of several hundred income-earning opportunities for area residents. In summary, these three cases illustrate a range of approaches to locality-based development cunently undertaken in South Africa by different localities possessing widely differing resources, skills, and degrees of global connectivity in order to initiate growth and enhance standards of living. From a theoretical perspective this study provides a South African slant on global theories and processes and further indicates the role that a series of localities in the South are playing in a changing global system.<br>KMBT_363<br>Adobe Acrobat 9.54 Paper Capture Plug-in
