VL - 65 IS - 4 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - In 1982 Dr A.P. Treurnicht was expelled from the National Party for opposing President P.W. Botha's reforms as a threat to Afrikaner supremacy. He subsequently formed the ultra-conservative Conservative Party. Despite the sweeping political changes taking place in South Africa in the 1980s and 1990s he remained adamant that rigid apartheid was the only means to ensure Afrikaner survival. Treurnicht's faith in Verwoerdian policies was not the only reason for his inflexibility. In contrast to his public image as a strong and dynamic leader he was not temperamentally or psychologically equipped to be a party leader as he was overly sensitive to criticism, and craved adulation. His insecurity encouraged indecision and contributed to his inability to adapt to an unravelling apartheid State. In the process he fuelled the bitterness, angst and desperation of ultra-conservatives, creating a climate for right-wing militants to turn to violence. The majority of Afrikaners, however, rejected Treurnicht as an anachronistic figure and a threat to Afrikaner survival, and supported the reforms of Botha and F.W. de Klerk. Notes, ref., sum.

VL - 65 IS - 4 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - D.F. Malan is known as the prime minister who instituted apartheid in 1948. His racial prejudice goes without saying. Yet, Malan's perception of race was relatively fluid and was directly related to his development as a politician and his concern about the poor white problem, particularly his notions of poor white agency. During his early career, Malan regarded the poor whites as makers of their own fate and was concerned that their depravity threatened the racial hierarchy of the day. His views of Africans reflected the paternalism of his time, but were relatively tolerant and supportive of African education. However, by the 1920s, Malan joined in a growing tendency to link poor whiteism to cheap African labour and to plead for segregation. Poor whites were now regarded as victims of circumstance. By the 1930s, Malan, who had since become leader of the National Party, tapped into a widespread fear of miscegenation in the wake of the Carnegie Commission and 1938 Centenary to depict Africans as a direct threat to the survival of the white race. The segregationist measures his party advocated during this time would be reflected in the first apartheid laws to be instituted in 1949 and 1950. Notes, ref., sum.

Both positions defy the old-age adage that war and diplomacy are enduring features of human interaction, and overlook African experiences with liberation diplomacy. This article revisits Eritrean nationalists hydra-like diplomatic dealings with an array of forces in the region and beyond to show their diplomacy of liberation was indispensable to the heated battles (1961-1991), and that, as a result, they received material, political and humanitarian assistance without which their movement would have been hard pressed to succeed. They particularly forged political-military alliances with Ethiopian insurgents to clinch the all-important but elusive international recognition after military victory in Asmara and parallel regime change in Addis Ababa.

It evaluates Ghanaians' state of preparedness to perform competently, especially with regards to technical, professional, management, and supervisory jobs. It examines the extent to which skills needed for the new petroleum sector exist and what is being done by training institutions and programmes to make more nationals ready and able to perform oil and gas jobs. It discusses the roles of an overarching national development vision and plan and an appropriate policy framework to use petroleum resources to generate jobs for indigenous Ghanaians, as one of the most powerful antidotes for the resource curse. By providing a baseline for future studies, it contributes to the crafting of policies and legislation to optimize the use of hydrocarbons in Ghana and the rest of Africa.

VL - 38 IS - 1/2 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - International efforts to control the smoking or consumption of tobacco has led to the adoption of a global treaty on tobacco control in the form of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) in 2005. Using transnationalism and transnational advocacy network theories, this study examines new strategies adopted by the tobacco control network to counter the activities of the tobacco industry network in the African region. The study shows that the tobacco control network is adopting a continental/regional approach whereby common tobacco control ideas/strategies are shared with actors from different countries. The network is creating and funding regional organizations, which are used to promote a common tobacco control campaign. The study concludes that this strategy may help curtail or proscribe the activities of the tobacco industry in the African region and possibly other regions of the developing world. This is because the strategy used by the tobacco companies to spread their products in the developing countries is similar. The regional approach will also ensure that meagre resources can be spread to promote tobacco control in many parts of the developing world. Bibliogr., note, sum. in English and French.

The authors argue that for religious leaders to be actors of social change, a reconceptualization of power and power dynamics and a critical discussion about the consequences and limitations of instrumentalist approaches are needed. These issues are of particular importance in contexts where monological discourses and vertical structures dominate and influence interventions, local responses to them, and religious leaders' legitimacy.

VL - 38 IS - 1/2 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - China's spectacular economic progress has led some security analysts and policymakers in the North and the South to question Beijing's intentions in other parts of the world. This paper examines the extent to which China's engagement with Africa has produced mutual benefits for both and whether Africa is reaping the necessary benefits required for poverty alleviation and economic development. Chinese State-owned enterprises have invested billions of dollars in foreign reserves, construction, and engineering resources assisting African oil-producing exporters. While many in the West have started to question China's extraordinary level of interest in Africa in particular, its economic engagement with perceived repressive regimes African leaders view China's entry as a means of pulling Africa onto the path of globalization. It is thus important that African leaders and policymakers ensure that Chinese trade and investment bring reciprocal and tangible benefits for Africans, and contribute to economic stability and good governance.

The crisis in South Sudan is rooted in two parallel conflicts that have been developing since 2005 and that have now converged, one in the governing party, the Sudan Peoples Liberation Movement (SPLM),and one in the army, the Sudan Peoples Liberation Army (SPLA). Both have their origins in unresolved tensions following the split in the SPLA in the 1990s, and the incomplete reintegration of anti-SPLA forces into the SPLA after 2005. Notes, ref.

VL - 38 IS - 1/2 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Until the late 1990s, employment for unskilled and uneducated able-bodied Sotho men on South African mines was usually available. As a result, the education of male children in most Sotho households was not prioritized. In the 1990s, massive retrenchments took place at the mines, resulting in many Sotho men being retrenched and repatriated. Most of them did not have any formal education and were generally unskilled. Many of the ex-miners believed that they were retrenched to make way for an educated workforce. Back home, they experienced problems getting employment because of their lack of formal education. These experiences, combined with efforts by the government of Lesotho and its development partners to promote education, have led to a change in the attitudes of the former miners towards education. Most of them now have positive attitudes towards education as they perceive it as a more secure and more sustainable means of getting employment and a vehicle for economic and social mobility. Based on qualitative data obtained from former mine workers this paper provides evidence that as a result of new realities, former migrants are developing positive attitudes towards education. The change in attitude towards education can, however, only evolve into a change in the culture of migration if, over time, the benefits of education outweigh those of migration.

VL - 38 IS - 1/2 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Free-market capitalism creates wealth on the one hand, but is disempowering and produces widespread poverty, inequality, and human despair on the other hand; for the masses, it generates economic insecurity. A main reason for this is that free market capitalism operates from an exogenous perspective; it is guided by marginal utility and marginal productivity. What is needed is capitalism that integrates endogenous and exogenous processes. This paper puts forward a wealth generation approach that advances what is termed community entrepreneurship. It draws upon the community entrepreneurship initiative being implemented in the Zowe community development programme located in northern Malawi. This community entrepreneurship process is both exogenous and endogenous in that it focuses on (a) building entrepreneurial knowledge, skills, and capacity in communities and (b) propagating innovative, creative, and responsible behaviour in the way people make a living.

VL - 65 IS - 4 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This article contributes to the growing literature on the global impact of the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902). It shows that the war had an important role to play in shaping identities across national borders. Dutch ethnic identity was built on the nation-State model, but in the Dutch global diaspora, new forms of Dutch identities were built through real and imagined transnational connections. Dutch Americans viewed the Afrikaner struggle for independence against the British as parallel to their own struggles to maintain a Dutch Calvinist identity in the face of Americanization pressures. The war's international impact went beyond politics and economics, and included a significant cultural component, as it contributed to a transnational rejuvenation of ethnic consciousness. Dutch Americans drew on the pro-Boer movement in the Netherlands, and adapted it for their own purposes. Notes, ref., sum.

VL - 11 IS - 3 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - The recent curriculum changes in the South African education system have necessitated the development of large scale in-service training programmes for teachers. For some teacher training providers this has resulted in utilizing the services of tutors or facilitators from the various regions to deliver the programme. This article examines the role of the part-time tutors in one such programme (designed to upgrade and retrain Mathematical Literacy (ML) teachers in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN)). The purpose of this qualitative case study was to elicit the tutors' perceptions of the learning offer in the various modules and their reflections about the ways in which their participation in the programme enhanced their professional development. The sample comprised 10 out of a total of 25 tutors. Data was generated from the tutors' detailed reflections as documented in response to questions in an open form questionnaire. The participants reported on specific areas of growth in their professional development, including a deepening of their mathematics content knowledge and pedagogic content knowledge. They were also able to provide detailed recommendations for improving the learning offer. The article concludes by calling for increased involvement by tutors in the development and implementation of these large scale teacher development programmes. Bibliogr., sum.

Initially, this discussion elucidates the processes by which national performers become "soldiers of culture" as their bodies and characters are trained and retrained with rigorous militaristic precision. Subsequently, it highlights performers' artistry, examining how they tactically circumvent, or dance in between, this disciplinary apparatus, harnessing State institutions for personal ends. While taking advantage of the ensembles' alternative education to develop artistic, social, and entrepreneurial skills, performers are also shown to ironically use these troupes as platforms to reproach their State/employer.

VL - 11 IS - 3 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Are South Africans financially literate, and how can this be measured? Until 2009 there was no South African financial literacy measure and, therefore, the aim was to develop a South African measurement instrument that is scientific, socially acceptable, valid and reliable. To achieve this aim a contextual and conceptual analysis of financial literacy that indicated the importance of financial literacy, the scope and impact of financial literacy education, and uncovered an acceptable financial literacy definition and its constituent concepts, was applied. A rigorous five-step process was then followed in developing a questionnaire that measures financial literacy knowledge, behaviour and attitude. This draft questionnaire was applied at the South African Military Academy (SAMA) to firstly determine and improve its validity and reliability, and secondly to measure the financial literacy levels of school leavers. Experts and users found this measurement instrument to be valid, and internal consistency levels of above .7 registered its reliability. On average the first-year SAMA students achieved scores of 55.55 percent, 69.8 percent, and 77.11 percent for financial literacy knowledge, behaviour and attitude. As a result it is postulated that there is now a scientific and socially relevant, valid and reliable South African financial literacy measurement instrument available. Bibliogr., sum.

VL - 113 IS - 451 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Twenty years after the Rwandan genocide, little is known about the political values of non-elite Hutu. The post-genocide regime has emphasized the problem of ' divisionism' and ' genocide ideology' , suggesting a popular preference for a radical stance on inter-group relations and reconciliation. This argument has been used to defer the question of democracy. This article investigates the attitudes of ordinary Hutu at a rural site, and shows that the respondents staked out a middle ground, emphasizing the shared interests of ordinary Hutu and Tutsi and distancing themselves from the political excesses of both Hutu and Tutsi elites. However, this moderate political space appeared to yield to more radical views when discussing the pressures of transitional justice, when respondents' careful distinction between elite and ordinary people collapsed and a monolithic actor, ' the Tutsi' was imagined in conflict with 'the Hutu'. While this slippage appears to be a coping mechanism in the face of stressful situations rather than an inherent political preference, the article concludes that politically convenient assumptions and maladroit public policy risk contributing to the very dangers the regime claims to combat.

VL - 17 IS - 1 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This paper critically evaluates the epistemological basis of the academic discipline of sociology in South Africa. In particular, it contextualizes, and therefore subjects to critical scrutiny, the assumptions made (and not made) by South African sociologists in their writings about the discipline of sociology in South Africa. Secondly, it seeks to make an epistemic intervention on the current debates on epistemological decolonization of the social sciences in the South African academy. It argues that the major problem with South African sociology is that it is characterized by West-centred theories and conceptual frameworks. To the extent that these theories explain South Africa, it is argued, they only succeed in presenting it from the perspective of Western scholars.

VL - 65 IS - 4 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This article examines how the politics of apartheid manifested themselves in networks that connected South Africa and the Netherlands. It analyses the transfer of narratives, images, ideas and political practices within a transnational kinship network, as well as through networks of political activists in both countries and worldwide. The footage Dutch documentarymaker Maarten Rens shot during the 1980s, especially his focus on his well-established, 'white' relatives from South Africa and their encounters with 'black' compatriots, is used to trace these transnational dynamics. His material reveals the various narratives and markers of whiteness by which his relatives presented their privileged position in apartheid South Africa as 'normal', while interviews with the filmmaker and some of his relatives in South Africa and the Netherlands some 25 years later give insights in how their performances were reshaped and received as 'abnormal' within the Dutch political context at the time. The post-apartheid memory work involved, show how the political and moral dilemmas are still felt to this day. Notes, ref., sum.

VL - 113 IS - 451 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - The relationship between the United Nations (UN) and the African Union (AU) has at times been characterized by considerable conflict, mistrust, and tension, often hindering the predictability and conduct of effective peace operations. This article analyses the challenges facing UN-AU cooperation on peace and security issues and examines their partnerships in various peace operations. Specific attention is paid to the crucial cases of Somalia and Mali, which exemplify some of the positive and negative aspects of this relationship. The authors argue that while great power politics and the international normative context have played important roles in structuring debates about peace operations in contemporary Africa, so too have two more bottom-up factors: the specific operational and financial challenges generated by the AU's big missions in Darfur, Somalia, and Mali, and the organizational cultures and bureaucratic constraints within which both institutions have had to work. Greater focus on these bottom-up factors could bring significant improvements to the decision-making processes in Addis Ababa and New York, to operational responses, and to the conduct of peace operations.

Three relevant themes emerged: (1) choosing teaching as a profession; (2) growing a passion for teaching; and (3) sustaining passion for teaching. An interpretive study was conducted in various schools in six provinces of South Africa during which fieldworkers (Bachelor of Education and Training Level Four students) collected data in the three months of their teaching practice at the schools. These fieldworkers qualitatively interviewed 48 teachers at schools where they were placed. According to the findings, the majority of teachers interviewed indicated that extrinsic motives were dominant determinants for teachers to choose teaching as a profession. This means that the majority of participants probably had less passion for teaching as a result of circumstances in their environment or their passion diminished because of less sense of enduring efficacy. Based on the findings, a frameworkwas proposed to recommend how to sustain a passion for teaching. Bibliogr., sum.

The health belief model (HBM) is the theoretical anchor of the study. Samples included mothers, fathers and grandparents whose child/ward had manifested malaria symptoms at one time or another and who had reported or failed to report such cases at the available health centres. Other respondents were community leaders, health workers and traditional pharmacists popularly known as 'elewe-omo'. The study found that malaria was perceived as a serious health problem and a threat to children by the majority of the respondents. However, high perceived threat of malaria did not guarantee widespread use of ITNs owing to limited access and poor distribution networks. Some measures for equitable and sustainable distribution and use of ITNs in local communities are recommended. Bibliogr., sum.

VL - 113 IS - 451 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - With some exceptions, scholarship on post-apartheid policing has been too preoccupied by continuities with the apartheid era. While this is understandable, it has blinded scholars to profound changes. The author argues that what has changed most since the end of apartheid is the relationship between policing and political order. During the late apartheid era, the structure and ethos of the South African Police was animated by the task of containing an insurgency. In the democratic era, policing is increasingly animated by the task of managing conflict in the ruling party. The difference is profound and the implications ripple right to the edges of the police organization, fashioning the manner in which street life is policed and impinging on the functioning and the durability of the detective service. The article concludes by arguing that instruments used in the past survive only when agents in the present find them useful, and that accounts of continuity need to train their analytical attention on the politics of the here and now.

VL - 11 IS - 3 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - The South African Schools Act mandates the establishment of democratically elected school governing bodies (SGBs) comprising parent and educator representatives, as well as learner representatives in secondary schools. School principals become automatic and unelected members of SGBs.This article explores South African principals' views regarding the governance challenges they experience. The authors conducted focus group interviews with primary and secondary school principals, purposely selected from township schools in two Gauteng Province districts. They found that principals were challenged mostly by having to balance their dual roles as ex officio school governing body memberson the one hand, and as bona fide members of SGBs on the other. The challenges found confirmed school governors' views as reported in numerous other studies. These were related to, amongst others, the specialist nature of governance functions, poor training of school governors, difficulties associated with governor recruitment and unwillingness of parents to serve as governors. There is a need for a re-clarification of the principals' roles, in terms of both their ex officio and bona fide SGB membership with regard to governance. This should include a review of the governing body structure, the re-allocation of specialist functions, customized and needs-based training of school governors and issues relating to the general functioning of SGBs.

VL - 17 IS - 1 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - The phenomenon of absent fathers is prevalent in South Africa and has been singled out as a huge social challenge both in the public and policy debate. However, there has been little scholarly research on how men construct their role as fathers and on paternal involvement. This paper discusses constructions of paternal roles in South Africa, specifically in poor and black communities. It seeks to understand how conceptions of fatherhood shape the type and extent of father involvement. Drawing from focus group discussions held in Gautengs poor and black communities with fathers that did not live with their children, the paper argues that fathers are predominantly seen as providers. This prevalent construction of fathers as mainly agents for financial and material support of children and families precludes the emergence of alternative fatherhood roles. Besides, unemployment and poverty affect fathers' ability to live up to provider expectations. Hence, many fathers retreat or are excluded from playing an active role in their children's lives. It is essential that social policy and community interventions promote multidimensional fatherhood so as to offer fathers alternative roles which can be carried out even in situations of unemployment and poverty. Besides, unemployed and poor fathers need social assistance if society is going to succeed to keep them involved in their children's lives. Bibliogr., sum.

Public ethics and accountability are prerequisites to, and underpin, public trust. They are the cornerstones of good governance and development. In Nigeria, public trust in governance is low as a result of many challenges, principally the so-called Nigerian factor. Lack of transparency affects effective participation of citizens in the governing process. This article highlights the nature of Nigerian public service and draws out the challenges to the public-service delivery functions of government. It concludes that public servants should be ethical and accountable in the discharge of their duties for the betterment of the nation. Bibliogr., sum.

VL - 38 IS - 1/2 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Social exchange relations have economic, religious, moral and political implications for both dyadic and group relations. Consequently, some social scientists deploy social exchange theory to explain human actions, behaviour and institutions. The concept of godfatherism, as a form of exchange and clientelist relation, has characterized social, political, religious and commercial networks of indigenous groups in Nigeria since precolonial times. Recent commentaries on godfatherism, however, erroneously portray the phenomenon as a new form of political interaction, encouraging electoral fraud, promoting intra-party and political conflicts, and consequently stifling the consolidation of Nigerias extant democracy. This superficial treatment of godfatherism, which presents it in a negative way, has developed without taking into account the socio-cultural origin of the concept and its contribution to the political and commercial development of precolonial societies. The paper re-contextualizes the concept of godfatherism, outlining godfatherism in Igbo commerce and merchant apprenticeship, and in Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba socio-political structure. It captures its positive contribution to entrenching responsive and responsible leadership and promoting development. It also considers the distortions the concept suffered as it evolved from a form of social exchange to a form of political relationship, encouraging political conflicts and corruption in colonial and post-colonial Nigeria.

This article tries to revitalize the concept by looking at its persistency over time, even during the apartheid era. The Nederlands Zuid-Afrikaanse Werkgemeenschap (NZAW, Dutch South African Working Community), founded in 1963, played an important role in maintaining the old idea of 'stamverwantschap' as a principle to stand up for each other's nation, even until the present day. Although the organization lacked influence at the governmental level, it succeeded in keeping the Dutch-Afrikaner relation alive by focusing on exchange programmes for journalists, politicians, students and teachers, while propagating a 'critical dialogue' to reform apartheid.

VL - 113 IS - 451 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This article addresses the social and political implications of wartime and post-war resource capture in South Sudan. It argues that predation by armed groups during the second civil war (1983-2005) initiated a process of dominant class formation, and demonstrates how, through various strategies of resource capture and kinship networks, commanders from the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) and other factions formed a new aristocracy - a 'dominant class' that thinks of itself as 'the best'. Drawing on Marcel Mauss's analysis of 'gifts', it describes how commanders, through gifts of bridewealth and wives to their subordinates, formed a lower stratum of followers that strengthened their position. After the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, the military elite in power has maintained this lower stratum through the deployment of nepotistic and clientelist networks. The article discusses three modes through which the elite has sought to distinguish itself, showing how the elite has used the lower stratum to demonstrate its prestige and influence in the post-war period, and how the elite's ostentation and widespread corruption have triggered popular resentment in which old ethnic enmities sometimes resurface.

VL - 11 IS - 3 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - At the point of entry, many prospective undergraduates in Nigeria believe that having a university degree or certificate alone will guarantee employment. Eventually, many will not find employent, possibly because they chose courses that are not labour market relevant. In this study, students who graduated between 1996 and 2006 and who found employment were tracked, and the factors that determined their choice of courses were investigated, as well as their sources of information on career choices. The relationship between courses of study and the demands of the labour market were also determined. The findings indicate that choice of courses was largely based on parents' wishes, ease of admission and cost effectiveness of courses, while labour market relevance was considered less important. Secondary School Guidance Counsellors were very effective sources of information to the employed graduates, but 10. percent of the graduate respondents had no access to career information. Incidentally, there was a positive relationship between course preferences and the demands of the labour market, which suggests that parents and Guidance Counsellors, from whom most of the graduates obtained direction, were aware of labour market activities. Parents and counsellors are therefore equally up-to-date with developments in the labour market, and so can guide prospective students in the right direction. Bibliogr., sum.

It focuses on the case of Zimbabwe, a country which now has a diverse transnational diaspora of professionals, labour migrants, asylum-seekers, refugees and others following an exodus from the late 1990s that involved as much as three million people, or a quarter of the population. The case is a specific one, but the articles collected in the issue speak to key theoretical and policy questions concerning transnationalism, diasporic engagements and impacts at home.

This article examines how the financial crisis is undermining access to health care in Africa, and offers some suggestions to help improve the situation. The author sees access as a multifaceted concept, imbued with various social, economic, and geographic characteristics. The study found that the revenue constrictions wrought by the ongoing financial crises, e.g., through reductions in donor funding, tourist bookings, and remittance to Africa, have affected the supply of health care services, put pressure on personal finances, and compelled many households to reduce their demand for formal health care services.

VL - 11 IS - 3 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - One of the central aims of science education in South Africa is the promotion of scientific literacy, or the ability to understand science and technology in its application in everyday context. This study explores the perceptions of four primary school Natural Sciences teachers with respect to the implementation and development of science process skills at classroom level in a disadvantaged urban primary school in South Africa. Qualitative data, generated via focus group interviews and classroom observations were analysed. These data revealed that the implementation and development of science process skills were strongly influenced by the teacher's confidence and understandings of these skills, and that these in turn could be coupled to their present and past experience of science process skills. A key recommendation of this study, that might go some way to addressing these issues, is the implementation of high quality and sustained (over a long period of time) appropriate in-service training of primary school Natural Sciences teachers.

VL - 11 IS - 3 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This article draws on a doctoral study which investigated the legal and management frameworks required for establishing a private university in Swaziland. The focus is particularly on the legal framework for the establishment of the Southern Africa Nazarene University (SANU), a new university that was launched in 2010 by bringing together three colleges, the Nazarene College of Nursing, Nazarene Teacher Training College and the Nazarene College of Theology. Managers involved in establishing SANU encountered a lack of both specific legislation dealing with private higher education and legislation regulating higher education in Swaziland in general. They disagreed on whether the legality of a private university derives from a private Act of Parliament or from a Certificate of Registration. The researcher, C.V. Mbanze, designed the study as action research and acted, as one of the managers, as an insider researcher. After investigating the problem through a literature review, focus group discussions, participant observation and personal conversations, the researcher concluded that, to ensure that the legality of SANU would not be questioned, the best option was to follow a dual process of adopting a private Act and engaging in a registration process.

VL - 38 IS - 1/2 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This article analyses the evolution, reproduction, and sustenance of what the author refers to as the 'informal State' in Uganda a distinct mode of organizing and broadcasting power that simultaneously centralizes and fragments the State system. The 'informal State' is manifest in the construction of structures parallel to the legal and constitutional ones. This article departs from other studies of Stateness in Africa that accent colonial legacies, illicit economic activities, and social conflict in accounting for the so-called 'African State' that supposedly fails to approximate to the model (modern) State. Instead he argues that Uganda's 'informal State' is a consequence of three key factors: the country's postindependence experience with wide-spread insecurity and political instability in the 1970s and 1980s, the belief in militarism as an ideology by the new (post-1986) rulers along with the imperatives of retention of political power, and foreign-aid flows as reward for embracing neoliberal economic reforms. The article also shows that the 'informal State' system reproduces its survival and legitimates its rule through maintaining aspects of legal-rational State structures, ceding power to varied constituencies as well as expanding the patronage network through the creation of numerous agencies.

Research was undertaken primarily to determine the graduate unemployment rate at a higher education institution in South Africa and secondly to ascertain whether work-integrated learning or workplace exposure (WIL) had an effect on graduate unemployment. Statistical analysis revealed that the graduate unemployment rate at a certain higher education institution in 2011 was 46 percent while WIL reduced graduate unemployment. The unemployment rate for students who had had no WIL was 63 percent, whereas the unemployment rate for those who had complete WIL in the course of their higher education training decreased to 26 percent. Findings supporting the mitigating influence of WIL are a potentially valuable contribution to policy and practice in higher education. Bibliogr., sum.

VL - 113 IS - 451 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Civil war and insecurity are widely seen as obstacles to development and threats to international stability, and donors are therefore keen to develop African capacities to manage conflict on the continent. Building the capacity of African militaries is hazardous, however, given their frequent roles in coups, support for authoritarian regimes, and violence against civilians. This article argues that the risks of military capacity building can be assessed more accurately by understanding how national governments view and utilize the military as a policy tool. It demonstrates this using the case of post-genocide Rwanda, a significant contributor to African peacekeeping but also to instability in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The article identifies four features of the Rwandan regime's understanding and use of military force, using these to explain the dual and divisive role of Rwanda's military as an agent of instability on the one hand and peace on the other. Finally, the article explores the M23 crisis, considering implications for donor efforts to manage risks inherent in international commitments to 'African solutions'. It concludes by arguing that, as African military capacity building continues, recognizing the ways in which such enhanced forces are likely to be used will be crucial to developing a better understanding of the continent's peace and security prospects.

VL - 11 IS - 3 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This study looks at how the education of Learners with Special Education Needs (LSEN) has developed in Lesotho as a result of international policies on human rights and education. In particular, it explores various challenges to inclusive education such as proper understanding of inclusive education, the development of a policy on special and inclusive education, and the availability of resources to support inclusive education. The study used a qualitative approach to collect and analyse data. Thirty-nine participants were interviewed for the study. It was found that, though efforts are made to support LSEN in both special and mainstream schools, the support may not result in successful academic and social development for LSEN. There is also a lack of understanding by teachers and educationalists about what constitutes inclusive education. The Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) is slow in developing a policy on special needs and there are inadequate resources for inclusive education to succeed. Bibliogr., sum.

VL - 17 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - In order to gather evidence on the interpersonal development of trusting-trustworthy relationships in Tanzania, this article focuses on a tiny political economy that exists in the private and informal sectors. It presents an embedded account of the social status and economic position of plastic bag sellers of Soko Kuu market in Mwanza to demonstrate the dilemmas of trust faced and the solutions found. Evidence is taken from interviews with boys and young men whose profession consists of the wholesale purchase and individual retail of different types of plastic bag in the main market of Mwanza. The reputation and standing of bag sellers is very low, which presents a tough challenge for maintaining networks of trust within their own professional group or when bridging trustful relations to other economic groups. Plastic bag sellers tend to be young and bearers of a reputation for thievery. At the same time, the fact that they achieve relatively high levels of profit in such an informal setting presents a puzzle as to how the trust needed for thier economic activity has been secured. The phenomenon of trust anchor, defined as a common point of interaction where persons may signal willingness to cooperate, is identified as an explanation. The most important trust anchor for relationships between bag sellers themselves and between bag sellers and goods sellers of Soko Kuu is the giving out of small change. Trust anchors are the positive opposite to social dilemmas: opportunities for building relationships of trust, based on mutually understood vulnerability. For future social policy attempting to grapple with the informal economy, such zones of trust creation must be identified. Notes, ref., sum.

VL - 65 IS - 4 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - In 'The Rise and Fall of Afrikaner Women' (2003), H. Giliomee argues that Afrikaner women's history 'is the biggest untold story of the Afrikaner people', and in doing so ignores the research on Afrikaner women's history. This ignoring of women's history may be attributed either to orthodoxy in historical writing or the lack of a review on women's history despite a relatively large body of work, focussing in particular on Afrikaner women. Although contributions to women's history come out of a wide range of disciplines, including literary theory, political science, anthropology and history proper, it is my contention that there is a definable trend developing in South African historiography which particularly represents the history of Afrikaner women. This article explicitly shows that the history of Afrikaner women is not untold through a review of the contributions of scholars whose work form part of (what the author calls) the historiography of Afrikaner women. This article not only contextualizes Afrikaner women's history against the backdrop of tendencies in historical writing but also focuses on the major themes in the historiography of Afrikaner women, including identity, political agency, labour, welfare, class, reproduction and particularly the ongoing debate of the 'volksmoeder'.

VL - 11 IS - 3 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - In the struggle to combat corruption in Nigeria, popular and intellectual discourse has essentially been devoted to the behaviour of public officials such as politicians. Only little scholarly attention seems to have been paid to corruption in the education sector. This article attempts to fill this knowledge gap. Based on desk analysis, it indicates that corruption proliferates in the education sector just as in other sectors in Nigeria, with crippling effects on the ranking and standard of tertiary education. Situated within the theory of functionalism, it ascribes the proliferation of corruption to negative societal influence, poor funding, poor reward system and acute infrastructure decay. However, the article holds that there is yet a prospect of redemption based on measures that have been undertaken in various tertiary education institutions to tackle the social malaise. It recommends the need for men and women of integrity to champion the desired reform in the ivory tower. Bibliogr., sum.

VL - 17 IS - 1 U2 - w43 U3 - Abstract available N2 - The challenging living conditions of many Senegalese families, and the absence of a providing spouse, have led women to covet new economic opportunities, such as microcredit loans. Microcredit loans offer Senegalese women the possibility to financially support their households and become active participants in their economies. A study was carreid out in Grand-Yoff, an overpopulated peri-urban area of the Senegalese capital city Dakar, where most people face daily survival needs. It examined the relationships between microcredit activities and the social capital of Senegalese female loan recipients. It found that the impact and success of microcredit are closely tied to the female borrowers' social capital. Household members, kin groups, communities, social and business networks, formal education, training, professional and business experience are all important sources of social capital for female borrowers. Sources of social capital for the participants in the study can be dependable and enriching, but in many cases reveal themselves to be treacherous, jeopardizing the survival of their households and businesses. The study shows that a providing spouse, formal education, training, business experience, and belonging to social and entrepreneurial activities facilitate women's success in their microcredit and entrepreneurial activities. The most responsive microcredit models are those of development organs (mainly NGOs), and womens cooperatives and groups, because they adopt integrated approaches, thereby addressing womens needs in conjunction with micro-lending.
