For more than two decades, 21st March has been canonised and celebrated among South Africans as Human Rights Day. Earmarked by the newly democratic and inclusive South Africa, it commemorates the Sharpeville and Langa massacres. As history recorded, on the 21st March 1960, residents of Sharpeville and subsequently, Langa embarked on a peaceful anti-pass campaign led by the African National Congress (ANC) breakaway party, the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania (PAC). The pass (also known as dompas) was one of the most despised symbols of apartheid; a system declared internationally as a crime against humanity. In the post-apartheid era, it is expectedthat all South Africans enjoy and celebrate the full extent of their human rights. However, it appears that the envisaged rights are not equally enjoyed by all. This is because widening inequalities in the health-care system, in schooling, and in the lucrative sporting arena have not been amicably and irrevocably resolved. Furthermore, it is still the norm that the most vulnerable of South Africans, especially rural Africans, find it difficult, and sometimes, impossible to access adequate and even essential healthcare services. Central to the possible questions to emerge from this discourse are the following(i) What is the current state of South Africa’s health system at the turn of 23 years of its majority rule? (ii) Why is the South African health system still unable to sufficiently deliver the socioeconomic health rights of most South African people? It is against this background that this article uses a critical discourse analysis approach in its broadest form to provide a nuanced Afrocentric assessment of South Africa’s human rights record in the health sector since the year 1994. Data for this article is generated through the review of the cauldron of published and unpublished academic, official and popular literature.

Full textAbstract:
After the victory of the National Party (NP) in the 1948 elections and the establishment of the apartheid regime in South Africa, politics and culture were subordinated to one main goal – the preservation and protection of Afrikaners as an ethnic minority. Since 1954, the government headed by Prime Minister D. F. Malan had begun implementing measures restricting freedom of speech and creating “literary police”. In 1956 the Commission of Inquiry into “Undesirable Publications” headed by Geoffrey Cronje was created. In his works, Cronje justified the concept of the Afrikaners’ existence as a separate nation, with its own language, culture, and mores. Cronje considered the protection of “blood purity” and prohibition of mixing, both physically and culturally, with “non-whites” as the highest value for Afrikaners. The proposals of the “Cronje Commission” were met with hostility not only by political opponents but also by Afrikaner intellectuals One of Cronje's most ardent opponents was the famous poet N.P. Van Wyk Louw. Yet, the creation of a full-fledged censorship system began with the coming into power of the government headed by Prime Minister H. Verwoerd, who took a course to tighten racial laws and control over publications. 1960 became the turning point in the relationship between the government and the South African intelligentsia. After the shooting of the peaceful demonstrations in Sharpeville and Langa, the NP declared a state of emergency, banned the activity of the Communist Party and the African National Congress (ANC), and apartheid opponents turned to a military struggle. The political struggle against censorship became more difficult during the armed stand-off between the apartheid loyalists and the NP deposition supporters. The transition to the military struggle was an important force for the radicalization of the intellectuals and the appearance of the “literary protest” and “black voices”. The time for negotiations and searching for compromises was over.

The first term of the Constitutional Court began in February 1995. The Court is made up of 11 judges, five of whom, namely Mr Arthur Chaskalson (President), Mr Justice Goldstone, Mr Justice Laurie Ackermann, Mr Justice Ishmail Mohamed, and Mr Justice Tholakele Madlain, were appointed by the President of the Republic in consultation with the Cabinet and the Chief Justice. The remaining six members were appointed by the President of the Republic after consultation with the President of the Court and the Cabinet and following the making of recommendations by the Judicial Service Commission (JSC). In so doing, the JSC was required to take into account “the need to constitute a court which is independent, competent and representative in respect of race and gender”. After a series of public hearings, the JSC submitted a list often names for consideration from the 24 candidates who were short-listed. The following six were appointed: Mr Justice John Didcott, Mr Justice Johann Kriegler, Mr Pius Langa, Prof. Yvonne Mokgoro, Prof. Catherine O'Regan and Prof. Albie Sachs. The Constitutional Court Complementary Act, 1995, provides that eight of the 11 judges must hear each case, so that only one case can be heard by the court at any one time.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn many accounts, the Sharpeville emergency of 1960 was a key ‘turning point’ for modern South African history. It persuaded the liberation movements that there was no point in civil rights-style activism and served as the catalyst for the formation of the African National Congress's armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe. From the South African government's perspective, the events at Sharpeville made it imperative to crush black resistance so that whites could defend themselves against communist-inspired revolutionary agitation. African and Afrikaner nationalist accounts are thus mutually invested in the idea that, after Sharpeville, there was no alternative. This article challenges such assumptions. By bringing together new research on African and Afrikaner nationalism during this period, and placing them in the same frame of analysis, it draws attention to important political dynamics and possibilities that have for too long been overlooked.

Full textAbstract:
Since it was first adopted in the 1980s, the Community-based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) approach has played a significant role in environmental management. This paper argues that for the CBNRM approach to be relevant, functional, and sustainable, it has to be based on existing local institutional (authority) structures, which may have to be adapted, and it may even require new institutions to be created to comply with the requirements of sustainable nature conservation. The main aim of this paper is to propose a CBNRM model based on existing local community (authority) structures and to investigate its usefulness in an African setting. The Langa Ndebele chiefdom in the Limpopo Province of South Africa serves as a case study because it displays all the features necessary to explore the possible application of the proposed CBNRM model. Data was gathered by means of field research which involved detailed interviews and discussions with functionaries of the relevant institutions at grassroots level. Specific recommendations relating to the use of the model are made.

Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2005.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Reliable and valid methods of studying needs of communities are an essential tool
in the development of those communities. This study looks at different ways in
which community needs could be assessed and uses two of those methods in
assessing needs of the Langa community. The findings are that for a successful
needs assessment, the key is, to identify a method or a combination of methods
appropriate to the issues and to one's goals and resources, and implementing it
well. Queeney (1995) states that one must always choose a technique that will
give accurate results of the community being studied, and resources used should
be cost-effective.
Langa was chosen as a case study because of its diverse socia-economic
structure. The type of housing that one occupies is indicative of the socioeconomic
background of that person. The housing types found in Langa are
shacks, hostels, public houses and private houses.
The methods used in the Langa area for this study were the key informant
approach and the survey approach. The key informant approach was used with
community leaders in Langa while a survey was conducted with sampled dwelling
units in the area. The reason for using the two methods was to get a more
comprehensive picture of community needs in the area.
Key informant approach
Representatives of 10 of the 15 community organisations operating in the Langa
area were interviewed. Priority needs for the community differed according to the
organisation that key informants represented.
Survey approach
The total number of people interviewed using the survey approach was 425. Of the
total number respondents living shacks, approximately 40% were in full time
employment. In public housing, it was approximately 47% of the respondents. The
private houses had by far the highest number of respondents in full time
employment (73%) followed by hostels at 59%. The high number for private
housing was not surprising considering that the occupants were mostly
government employees.
People in shacks did not have access to basic services. However, their first priority
was housing. This was the same as the priority in the overcrowded migrant labour
hostels. In public housing the priority need was jobs. Private housing dwellers
mentioned housing for shack dwellers as their first priority. The close proximity of
shack dwellers to private housing made private housing private housing dwellers
aware of the conditions under which people in shacks live.
Recommendations
Most of the community organisation in the Langa area existed because of a need
that was identified by the community. The priority needs cited by representatives of
the various organisations were needed by the Langa community. In the survey
approach housing and jobs were the main priorities. Priority needs raised by key
informants as well as survey respondents need to be addressed urgently to ensure
the development of the Langa community.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Betroubare en geldige tegnieke vir die bestudering van die behoeftes van
gemeenskappe vorm In essensiële deel van die ontwikkeling van gemeenskappe.
Hierdie studie ondersoek die verskillende wyses waarop gemeenskap behoeftes
gemeet kan word en gebruik twee van hierdie metodes om behoeftes van die
Langa gemeenskap te bepaal. Die bevindinge toon dat die belangrikste
komponent vir In suksesvolle behoefte opname, die identififsering van In metode of
kombinasie van metodes geskik vir die situasie is, as ook die suksesvolle
implementering daarvan. Queeney (1995) stel dat die navorser altyd In tegniek
moet kies wat akkurate bevindinge sal voortbring en ook koste-effektief is.
Langa is gekies as In gevallestudie vanweë die diverse sosio-ekonomiese
struktuur. Die tipe behuising van In okkupant is In indikator van die sosioekonomiese
agtergrond van die individu. Die behuising tipes in Langa is tydelike
wonings, hostelle, losieshuise as ook privaat wonings.
Die metodes wat in Langa gebruik is vir hierdie studie is die sleutel informant
metode as ook In opname. Die sleutel informant metode is gebruik met die
gemeenskapsleiers terwyl In opname uitgevoer is in geselekteerde areas van
Langa. In Kombinasie van metodes is gebruik om In meer omvattende beskrywing
van die gemeenskapsbehoeftes in die omgewing te verskaf.
Sleutel informant tegniek
Daar is onderhoude gevoer met 10 verteenwoordigers van die 15
gemeenskapsorganisasies in Langa. Die prioritisering van behoeftes het gewissel
afhangende van die organsisasie.
Opname
Daar is onderhoude gevoer met 425 persone tydens die opname. Naastenby 40%
van die respondente woonagtig in tydelike behuising, het In voltydse betrekking.
Vir respondente woonagtig in losieshuise was dit naastenby 47% van die
respondente. Respondente in privaat wonings toon die hoogste persentasie
respondente met 'n voltydse betrekking (73%) gevolg deur die hostel inwoners
teen 59%. Die hoë persentasie vir privaat wonings is nie verbasend aangesien die
inwoners meestal regerings amptenare is.
Die inwoners van tydelike behuising het nie toegang tot basiese dienste nie. Hulle
eerste prioriteit is dus behuising. Behuising is ook 'n prioriteit vir die inwoners van
die oorbevolkte hostelle. In die publieke woning sector was die prioriteit behoefte
werksgeleenthede. Die respondente in hierdie sector het ook aangetoon dat
behuising vir die inwoners van tydelike behuising 'n prioriteit vir hulle is. Die
nabyheid van die tydelike behusing het die inwoners van privaat wonings meer
bewus gemaak van hulle omstandighede.
Aanbevelings
Die grootste gedeelte van die gemeenskapsorganisasie in Langa het ontwikkel uit
'n behoefte wat die gemeenskap geïdentifiseer is. Die bevindinge van die opname
het getoon dat behuising en werksgeleenthede die hoofprioriteite is. Die
belangrikste behoeftes wat in hierdie studie geïdentifiseer word moet dringend
aangespreek word.

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2015<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Literature on public participation generally assumes the existence of a causal relationship
between community participation in urban development programs and the satisfaction of
beneficiaries of such programs with the outcomes of these development programs. In this
study, the role played by public participation in fashioning perceptions of satisfaction or
dissatisfaction of beneficiaries is investigated in the cases of two hostel redevelopment
programs.
The role of public participation is investigated by means of the Spectrum of Participation
model of the International Association of Public Participation, a model which propagates a
set of principles to be fulfilled before it may be said that beneficiaries have thoroughly
participated in a program. Satisfaction or dissatisfaction of the beneficiaries is tested by
means of the Hirschmann model of Voice, Exit and Loyalty, a model which hypothesizes that
potential beneficiaries in a program - in order to express satisfaction or dissatisfaction with
the process - may remain loyal to the program, may voice their dissatisfaction, or (as a last
resort) may exit the program.
After an analysis of the concept of public participation, this concept is applied-via interviews
with samples of stakeholders and potential beneficiaries-to two different communities of
interest: members of the Welcome Zenzile Housing Cooperative in Langa and the Ilinge
LabaHlali Housing Cooperative in Nyanga, townships situated not very far from the Cape
Town CBD, and occupied mostly by African communities. These two housing cooperatives
participated in the national Hostel Redevelopment Program, an initiative propagated by the
national Department of Human Settlements. Since these cooperatives participated in
different ways during identifiable phases of the program, public participation by potential
beneficiaries was researched within each phase.
A comparison of research findings in the two programs points to a positive relationship
between public participation and beneficiary satisfaction. Though other factors also play a
role, such satisfaction could be observed in the Nyanga community where levels of
participation by beneficiaries were extremely high. With the Welcome Zenzile beneficiaries,
the same could not be said, inter alia, since most of the decisions associated with beneficiary
interests were made by the City of Cape Town. In essence this second program was
implemented by the City of Cape Town for and on behalf of the beneficiaries.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In die algemeen veronderstel die literatuur oor openbare deelname dat daar ‘n
kousaleverband bestaan tussen gemeenskapsdeelname aan stedelike
ontwikkelingsprogramme en die tevredenheid van die begunstigdes van sodanige
programme met die uitkomstes daarvan. In hierdie studie word twee
hostelherontwikkelingsprogramme gebruik om die rol te ondersoek wat openbare deelname
speel in die vorming van persepsies oor begunstigdes se tevredenheid of ontevredenheid.
Die rol van openbare deelname word ondersoek aan die hand van die Internasionale
Vereniging vir Openbare Deelname se Spektrum van Deelname-model, ‘n model wat ‘n stel
beginsels voorhou waaraan voldoen moet word voordat daar gesê kan word dat
begunstigdes doeltreffend aan ‘n program deelgeneem het. Die tevredenheid of
ontevredenheid van die begunstigdes word getoets volgens die Hirschmann-model van
―Voice, Exit and Loyalty‖, ‘n model wat veronderstel dat moontlike begunstigdes van ‘n
program – ten einde hulle tevredenheid of ontevredenheid met die proses te kan uitspreek –
aan die program lojaal kan bly, hulle ontevredenheid daarmee kan betuig, of (as ‘n laaste
uitweg) die program kan verlaat.
Nadat daar ‘n ontleding van die konsep openbare deelname gedoen is, word die konsep
toegepas – via onderhoude en steekproewe met belanghebbendes en potensiële
begunstigdes – in twee verskillende belangegemeenskappe: die Welcome Zenzilebehuisingskoöperatief
in Langa en die Ilinge LabaHlali-behuisingskoöperatief in Nyanga,
twee townships wat nie ver van die Kaapstadse Sentrale Sakegebied geleë is nie en
hoofsaaklik deur swart gemeenskappe bewoon word. Hierdie twee behuisingskoöperatiewe
het aan die nasionale Hostelherontwikkelingsprogram, ‘n inisiatief wat deur die nasionale
Departement van Menslike Vestiging geloods is, deelgeneem. Aangesien hierdie
koöperatiewe op verskillende wyses tydens identifiseerbare fases van die program
deelgeneem het, is openbare deelname deur potensiële begunstigdes in elke fase nagevors.
‘n Vergelyking van navorsingsbevindinge ten opsigte van die twee programme dui op ‘n
positiewe verband tussen openbare deelname en begunstigdetevredenheid. Ofskoon ander
faktore ook ‘n rol speel, kon sodanige tevredenheid in die Nyanga-gemeenskap waargeneem
word, waar vlakke van deelname deur begunstigdes buitengewoon hoog was. Dieselfde kan
egter nie van die Welcome Zenzile-begunstigdes gesê word nie, onder andere omdat die
meeste van die besluite wat met begunstigdebelange te make het, deur die Stad Kaapstad
geneem is. Op die keper beskou het die Stad Kaapstad hierdie tweede program vir en
namens die begunstigdes geïmplementeer.

Thesis (MS en S)--Stellenbosch University, 2002.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The provision of low-cost housing constitutes one of South Africa's biggest challenges. As a
result, high density residential development, amid an ever increasing urban population in
South Africa, is seen as the answer to address the housing problems by the authorities. The
concept of densification presupposes, upon its implementation, the advantages of promoting
an integrated urban system, more economical use of land, a better quality of life for the
recipients, containing urban sprawl and the protection of the agricultural and natural
resources.
However, the application of the concept of high density development in low-cost housing has
been criticised for failing to fulfil its main objectives which are intended to better the lives of
the people. The hypothesis is that the concept of densification may impact negatively on the
quality of family living. As a result, the main objective of this study is to seek statistical data
which is related to quality of family living and to uncover the views and experiences of
household members.
To achieve this objective, a questionnaire, interviews and literature-based research method
was adopted in this study. In addition, built housing models complemented the questionnaire.
Since part of the government's high density development strategy is to expand the existing
townships, the Langa township in the Western Province was chosen to conduct the study.
The findings of this study revealed that the application of the concept of high density
development in Langa has resulted in situations of overcrowding and noise, a lack of privacy,
smaller housing structures and erven, a lack of space for children to play and adults to
socialise and regular clashes between the residents and the authorities regarding these issues.
Therefore, the hypothesis that although densification may have resulted in more housing units
being built whilst at the same time impacting negatively on the quality of family living has
been proven to be true by this study. However, this study has revealed the fact that although
there is nothing inherently wrong with the concept of densification, the problem lies with the
manner in which the concept is applied in South Africa.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die voorsiening van laekostebehuising vorm deel van Suid-Afrika se grootste uitdagings. Die
resultaat is dat die ontwikkeling van woongebiede met hoë digthede deur die owerhede
gesien word as een van die oplossings vir behuisingsprobleme van 'n steeds snelgroeiende
stedelike bevolking. Met die toepassing van die konsep van verdigting word daar veronderstel
dat die voordele van 'n geintegreerde stedelike stelsel, die ekonomiese gebruik van grond,
beter lewensgehalte vir burgers, die beperking van stedelike uitgestrektheid en die beskerming
van landbou- en natuurlike hulpbronne, verwesenlik sal word.
Die toepassing van die konsep van verdigting in laekostebehuising word egter gekritiseer
omdat dit tekortskiet in die primere doelwit wat daarop gemik is om die lewensgehalte van
burgers te bevorder. Die hipotese is dat die konsep van verdigting gesinslewe en daarby die
lewenskwaliteit van persone negatief kan beinvloed. Die doel van die studie is dus om
statistiese data wat verband hou met die gehalte van gesinslewe , in te win ten einde
sienswyses en ervarings van gesinne in laekoste woonbuurte te verwoord.
Om hierdie doelwit te bereik, is 'n vraelys, onderhoude en 'n literatuurgebaseerde
navorsingsmetode gevolg. Bykomende behuisingsmodelle het die vraelys gekomplementeer.
Aangesien die regering se verdigtingstrategie vir ontwikkeling ten doel het om bestaande
townships uit te brei, is Langa in die Wes-Kaap gekies as studiegebied.
Die bevindinge van die studie toon aan dat die implementering van die konsep van die
ontwikkeling van hoë digte, laekostebehuising oorbevolking en geraas, 'n gebrek aan
privaatheid, kleiner huisstrukture en erwe, 'n gebrek aan speelplek vir kinders en onvoldoende
plek vir volwassenes om te sosialiseer, teweeg gebring het - die toestande het tot gereelde
botsings tussen die inwoners en owerhede gelei.
Die studie bewys dus die hipotese dat hoewel verdigting tot die bou van meer
behuisingseenhede gelei het, dit ook 'n negatiewe impak op die gehalte van gesinslewe
meegebring het. Die studie bewys dat hoewel daar niks inherent met die konsep van
verdigting verkeerd is nie, die probleem Iê in die manier waarop die konsep binne Suid-Afrika
toegepas word.

Bibliography: pages 198-213.<br>This study focuses on the social and political history of Africans in Langa Township from 1927 to 1948. Langa conveniently and justifiably serves as a good case study of the urban African experience because it is the area in Greater Cape Town, during this period, where there was the largest concentration of a relatively organised, stabilised and permanent African working class community. It is also the oldest township with the deepest roots and longest evolution in Cape Town. Langa also makes an interesting area of study because the politics surrounding its evolution as an urban African segregated residential township presents it not only as an arena of social conflict between the ruler and the ruled, but also stands out as a veritable testimony of the African struggle to become an integral part of the city. The thesis traces what, initially, began as an "externalised" struggle by Africans against the forced removals from the city and Ndabeni Location to Langa and attempts to establish the continuities of this struggle within the township - i.e."internalised" struggle. African popular struggles in Langa predominantly centred around such issues as rents, railway fares, living conditions, restrictions on beer brewing and trading activities, the demand for direct municipal representation and the freedom of movement. The study explores the nature of the relationship that subsisted between the Langa residents and the Cape Town City Council and the internal social and political relations in the Langa community, paying particular attention to conflicting tendencies and the forms of resolution implemented. The thesis aims to highlight the fact that protest and resistance were the only weapons that empowered the Langa residents to fight against unilateral unpopular decisions by the local authority or central government. Flowing from these findings is an attempt to discover how the lived experiences of the Langa people, their frustrations, disillusionment, crises of expectations, translated into political consciousness and how these help us to explain the people's role in nationalist politics. Alternatively, this will help us to explain how political parties, the African National Congress (ANC), the Communist Party of South Africa (CPS A), and the National Liberation League (NLL) exploited the crises in civic matters to enhance or strengthen their support bases and with what results.

This paper seeks to explore a number of issues in relation to tourism, particularly cultural tours, in Cape Town from the apartheid era to the new political dispensation in South Africa. Cultural tourism is not merely about commerial activities. It is an ideological framing of history of people, nature, and culture, a framing that has power to reshape culture and nature for its own needs. In the South African context, this can be seen from the early decades of the twentieth century, but for the purposes of this study it will focus from the 1950s onwards to the present political period.

at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2013<br>The study, which deals with Assessing Contributions of Tourism Development to Poverty Alleviation Programmes in Langa, Western Cape Province, was conducted against the background that Langa Township has all that it takes to be considered as a well developed tourist destination. Despite the great potential of tourism economic clusters in Langa Township, which covers its rich historical contribution in the history making of new the South Africa, cultural tourism and township tourism, the township faces a challenge of unemployment whilst there are few community members that perceive tourism as an escape industry that would create job opportunities for them, and hence contribute to a better life.
Conversely, this study locates the tourism industry as key in efforts to uplift the poor standard of living that the Langa township community faces. In South Africa, generally, the tourism industry is recognised as one of the key economic sectors that has great potential to contribute towards eradicating community-based poverty challenges.
The central focus of the study involves the viability of tourism business segments in Langa Township, community participation, community understanding and awareness of the tourism industry in the area, as well as basic infrastructure to support tourism industry.
The study employed both quantitative and qualitative methodology. The quantitative survey was administered by using Likert Scale questionnaires, which were distributed to community members who have stayed in Langa for more than five years. The quantitative survey was distributed to the Langa Local Economic Development Forum, tour operators based in Langa, and those who make use of Langa as a visiting destination, and community leaders.
The main findings of the study revealed that there are few tour operators who conduct business based in Langa township, whilst those tourism establishments that exist are not widely marketed and properly planned to both lead and benefit from the potential of tourism economic segments in order to keep these operators highly viable and sustainable. Community understanding and awareness of the tourism industry in the area is at a fair level of understanding and awareness, but with little in-depth knowledge on how these communities can use it for the improvement of their living conditions. However, basic
infrastructure to support the tourism industry in Langa is not at a high standard to attract tourist use. For example, the indoor sport centres, playing fields, and cultural yards are of a poor quality. This situation makes it difficult to currently position the tourism industry in Langa township, and drive it as a leading economic sector for poverty alleviation. Nonetheless, the study presents recommendation on how best to improve the current exploration on the tourism industry in Langa township for a positive impact on programmes towards poverty alleviation.

Bibliography: p. 104-111.<br>This study focuses on the Langa Enrichment Programme an educational support programme for black students studying under the Department of Education and Training in the Cape Peninsula. The study aimed to determine students' reasons for attending the programme, their perceptions of its strengths and weaknesses and their recommendations for improvements. Student expectations of the programme and reasons for the high dropout rate especially amongst Standard Nine and female students were explored. To contextualise the study and to give further insights into student views a brief summary of the apartheid education crisis is given. Educational support programmes are reviewed as is liberalism's response to the crisis in education and the history and culture of the South African Institute of Race Relations. The methodology used was two-fold: self-administered questionnaires to 126 Standard 10 Mathematics students and a series of focus group interviews with small groups of students. The findings may be summed up as follows. Students were generally positive towards the teachers, teaching methods and administration of the programme. They requested that teachers should teach and complete the syllabus, emphasizing exam questions, revision and scientific experiments, and explore alternative small group teaching with critical discussions. Students also requested a comprehensive career guidance programme, bursary information and increased financial assistance. Students expressed a reluctance to pay fees and this, coupled with increasing requests for financial and educational supp01t, raises the issue of welfarism on the programme. Reasons for the high dropout rate amongst Standard Nines included that they write an internal examination. Social pressures from boyfriends and peer groups and regarding clothes were given as reasons for female students dropping out of the programme. The students appear to determine the direction of the school in that as a result of their demands the programme has changed from an enrichment programme to a compensatory one. Recommendations in the concluding chapter of this study are that the Enrichment Programme should draw up clearer policy guidelines in conjunction with staff and students; liaison with DET secondary schools, tertiary institutions and other enrichment programmes should be improved; career guidance programmes linked to bursary information should be implemented; bursaries and other incentives should be linked to attendance and academic performance on the programme; a full time co-ordinator should be employed.

Bibliography: pages 233-237.<br>The rapid industrialization which transformed South African Society after the discovery of minerals, had a profound impact on the lives of most South Africans. The process of urbanization escalated during and after the Second World War because of better wages and job opportunities in the urban areas. South African urbanization was characterized by the brutal manner in which the state dealt with the Black people. The White middle and working classes' fear of being engulfed by this Black tide led to the multi-pronged strategies which were devised to contain and co-opt the Africans, hence the creation of townships like Langa. This study looks at how the journey from the rural areas to the cities became part of the 'making of Black working class'. Material conditions in the cities were characterized by social squalor and overcrowding. Ghetto-like conditions created ethnic identities and working class culture, consciousness and community struggles came to reflect capitalist domination in the twentieth century township of Langa. Many residents in the township indulged in leisure pursuits such as dance and music which had their origins in the rural areas and this indicated an important cultural resource which they adhered to so as to cope with the alienating and corrosive compound and hostel life. Some of the residents found pleasure in leisure pursuits whose roots and ethos could be traced to the Victorian period such as cricket, soccer and rugby. All these leisure pursuits however, came largely to be influenced by the realities of township life and the general national and economic exploitation. The working class in Langa was not a homogeneous block as there were intense struggles between the migrants and immigrants over township space and resources. Therefore festivals and sporting activities played an important part in the cultural history of Langa township's effort to create "communities". The last part of the study looked at how the conditions in the city led to the realization by the dominated classes that the solution towards the alleviation of the conditions that they were confronted with was through the formation of structures which aimed at overthrowing institutions of oppression, such as the pass laws.

Full textAbstract:
Declining youth political participation among democracies has been a major issue and a widely researched debate in recent years. Most research has targeted youth in democracies in general but has failed to acknowledge the youth living in poverty such as those living in South African townships. This thesis was a case study investigation in the Langa township in Cape Town. It aimed to understand the perceptions and opinions of youth in the township regarding political participation. It aimed to understand why the trend is showing that political participation is declining and to further understand how these young people choose to participate as well as how they best believe they can make a difference. This study included interviews with ten youth respondents from Langa. Due to the small number of respondents, the conclusions drawn from this study should not be applied to the entire youth population in townships, nor the entire youth population in Langa. More research is needed in this field with larger sample groups to make more general conclusions representative of the entire population. From this thesis, a conclusion can be drawn that the pedagogical political participation model can explain youth political participation to a certain degree. However, there are additional reasons outside of the framework that helps explain political participation. It was found that youth in Langa lack confidence in their government due to the lack of development and major issues that the township is faced with. This refers to issues such as housing, electricity, water, employment, and education. This lack of confidence leads them to withdraw from formal participation methods such as voting. Due to these pressing issues, the respondents find that more change can occur through informal methods of participation such as protesting. Therefore, this study concludes that youth in the Langa township prefer informal methods of participation with the main focus on protests. This is because it is the best option to voice their opinions, create awareness, grab the politician’s attention and create change

Full textAbstract:
In Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association v. Union of India [(2016) 5 SCC 1], a five-judge bench of the Supreme Court struck down the 99th Amendment to the Constitution and the National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC) Act, 2014, which replaced the existing collegium system with the NJAC, a new bipartisan model for appointing judges. This edited volume uses the judgment in the NJAC Case as a springboard to address the politics, doctrine, and developments pertaining to judicial appointments in India. It critically examines fundamental constitutional concepts such as rule of law, separation of powers, basic structure, and judicial independence which formed the basis of the judgment. It provides a rich and detailed history of post-Independence appointment of judges to locate the NJAC Case in its proper constitutional context. It also analyses reforms to judicial appointments in key South Asian and common law jurisdictions to understand what appointments in India might look like in the future. The volume has 21 essays across three parts—Part I provides an analysis of judicial appointments in India from the time prior to Independence to the present day, Part II analyses constitutional principles and their application in the NJAC Case, and Part III is a comparative enquiry into appointments processes in the United Kingdom, South Africa, Canada, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Nepal.

Increased labour demands in Europe following the Second World War led to a migration of workers from the Indian subcontinent to many parts of Europe. A further wave of migration occurred in the 1960s and 1970s because of political turmoil in East Africa. More recently, technological progress and the need for skilled labour has resulted in migration to different parts of the world, including the USA and Canada. The term ‘South Asian’ broadly refers to people of Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi origin, but those from Sri Lanka and Nepal are commonly also included. Although there is considerable heterogeneity between these subgroups, they share many sociocultural factors.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 4 provides a history and analysis of development trajectories in the global clothing industry. Trade liberalization (specifically the end of import quotas from January 2005) and the rise of global value chains have changed the nature of the global economy since Lewis’s time. We use UNIDO data on remuneration, output, and employment to identify post-2004 national development trajectories showing that upgrading trajectories can be pro-labour (a rising wage share of value-added) or pro-capital (a rising profit share). Pro-labour trajectories can deliver rising average wages and employment (e.g. India and China) or higher average wages for fewer workers (e.g. Sri Lanka). Pro-capital trajectories can also deliver higher average wages and employment growth (e.g. Vietnam) or rising wages for fewer workers (e.g. South Africa). Downgrading trajectories are typically associated with falling average wages but can be associated with rising average wages (as in Turkey). The desirability of a particular development trajectory depends on the economic context, especially labour market conditions.

The Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) is a regional forum that focuses on bringing together representatives of government, business, and academia, for promotion purposes. It depends on the principles of open regionalism for strengthening trade facilitation and investment, promotion, and social development of the region. Social, cultural, political, geographical, and economic linkages exist between 22 member nations. The main objective of this chapter is analyzing India's trade potential with IORA member nations. The main outcome of this chapter is that India should concentrate on ammonium dihydrogen orthophosphate for Australia, gold and semi-manufactured for Singapore, mineral or chemical fertilizers for Thailand, tankers for Malaysia, warp knit fabrics of synthetic fibers for Indonesia, ammonium dihydrogen orthophosphate for South Africa, palm oil and fractions for Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Mozambique, Tanzania, the United Republic of Yemen, crude palm oil for Kenya, bigeye tunas, frozen for Mauritius, and carded yarn of fine animal hair for Madagascar.

Full textAbstract:
If one looks at destination guide books from as late as the 1990s, very few would have had much to say about watching marine wildlife, except perhaps a few sentences about scuba-diving and the opportunity it gave the tourist to see interesting and beautiful fish as an added bonus for participating in this leisure activity. Otherwise, the tourist may have been recommended to visit a certain place because of the opportunities to fish for huge specimens that could be displayed as trophies and photographed to impress the folks back home. Yet, a few years later, marine wildlife-watching has become a major selling point for many coastal destinations around the world, from Australia to California, Sri Lanka to Alaska, South Africa to Scotland. Interestingly, it is also an activity, out of all of the ways in which tourism and the marine environment interacts, that has attracted perhaps the most attention by tourism researchers. In this chapter we will look at how and why this change occurred together with a look at the impacts of the rise of marine wildlife-watching in its many forms. However, first we need to be clear what we are talking about by looking at several typologies of marine wildlife-watching.

Full textAbstract:
With recently accelerated support for the development of microbicides to prevent HIV transmission and the urgency of the global AIDS epidemic, it is important to begin to identify strategies for introducing a microbicide once it is proven safe and effective and is approved for use. This report presents results from a qualitative study that explored a range of issues likely to influence microbicide introduction—positively or negatively—at three levels: community, health service, and policy. The study, which identified critical issues to be addressed in building support for microbicides and facilitating a smooth introduction, was conducted between September 2002 and September 2003 in Langa, a peri-urban site in the Western Cape Province of South Africa, and at national and provincial levels. Through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, this study explored and identified issues that could facilitate or undermine access to and use of microbicides. Respondents included community members, health care providers and managers, provincial- and national-level government officials, and representatives from national and provincial nongovernmental organizations and health professional bodies that influence policy.
