The debate between the PRAESA team and the Department of Basic Education about the issue of lack of books in African languages and lack of finance by the government to produce or source such books seems to be a never-ending one.40 The reason of limited finance stated by the government for not reproducing books in African languages is challenged by Mahlalela-Thusi et al.41 and Heugh42 as untrue given the amount of money spent per learner compared to the apartheid era when such books were supplied from a significantly lesser budget for black education.10 Given the overstated role of developing the primary home language to shortcut the second language development, such prolonged debates should be a concern. keywords: african; article; concept; development; education; language; learning; mother tongue; south; teaching; tongue concept; tongue education; use cache: td-1068.htm plain text: td-1068.txt item: #18 of 504 id: td-107 author: Makaula, P.

In schools, career guidance and LO typically concentrate on career information, by providing course information, outlining career paths, highlighting professions, and supplying information on the job market.13 Career education is usually divided into two categories in schools, that is in which students get knowledge of the working work and classroom exercises aimed at developing career management skills. keywords: africa; career; choices; education; gender; guidance; high; homepage; information; internet; learners; people; person; role; school; south; study; talks cache: td-1082.htm plain text: td-1082.txt item: #23 of 504 id: td-1087 author: None title: td-1087 date: None words: 7932 flesch: 45 summary: Regarding the studies’ specific aims, most of the studies focussed on the LO teacher.17,18,19,20,21,23,24,25,26,28,33,34,36,39 More specifically, studies were directed to understand: how LO teachers teach CSE25; the challenges that LO CSE teachers generally face26,33; the profile, characteristics and qualification(s) that a LO CSE teacher needs to possess16,24,33; whether and how qualified, prepared and comfortable LO teachers are to teach CSE25; how teachers’ own life experiences (such as past trauma and how they themselves were sexually educated) impact on how they teach and deliver content19,25; how teachers’ cultures, social background, values and morals impact on how the subject is delivered and what is taught and promoted20,21,23,25,28,39; teachers’ understanding of learners’ context and why they engage in risky sexual behaviour,17 and to investigate the discrepancy between what teachers believe learners need from CSE and what learners actually need.18 The remainder of the studies focussed on learners: how learners experience, understand and perceive LO CSE,16 as well as their voices around what they learn in the LO CSE class and how it is perceived, which was performed to make recommendations for the improvement of the programme.16,29,32,33,38 The LO teacher’s contribution to the impact of CSE is reflected in: Teacher training: Insufficiencies and discrepancies regarding pre- and in-service training of CSE teachers are reported.26,28,33,36 There are variations in how and whether tertiary training institutions approach the training of CSE teachers, so teachers enter the field with different levels of exposure to training and thus preparedness to teach.25 Some teachers report having received no pre-service training.24,26,33 In-service teachers sometimes end up teaching sexuality education, not because they are adequately trained, but because they have space available on their timetables.24,31,32 keywords: adolescents; cse; curriculum; education; health; learners; programme; research; review; sexuality; sexuality education; south; studies; systematic; teachers cache: td-1087.htm plain text: td-1087.txt item: #24 of 504 id: td-1089 author: None title: td-1089 date: None words: 8273 flesch: 38 summary: Abstract Introduction Climate change and its predicted impact on South Africa’s agriculture sector: A national and sub-national context Failure to adapt to a changing climate: Consequences for commercial and subsistence farmers Common constraints to climate change adaptation within farming communities Research methods and design Results Discussion Strengths and limitations Implications or recommendations Conclusion Acknowledgements References About the Author(s) Keywords: agricultural adaptation strategies; climate change adaptation; coping capacity; disaster risk reduction; resilience; sustainable agriculture; vulnerability. keywords: access; adaptation; africa; agricultural; capacity; changes; climate change; communities; environmental; factors; farmers; farming; south; south africa; strategies; study; subsistence; subsistence farmers cache: td-1089.htm plain text: td-1089.txt item: #25 of 504 id: td-109 author: Swart, Inette title: From trauma to well-being: how music and trauma can transform us date: 2014-11-30 words: 8225 flesch: 58 summary: Physical trauma is associated with injury and often with hospitalisation and visits to the emergency room: these associations are not excluded from this discussion of emotional trauma since its consequences, if they remain unresolved, often include emotional manifestations presenting at a later stage.

According to Jonsen and Toulmin (1988, 26-27; 34; 327), moral knowledge is best understood as practical knowledge or knowledge that is concrete, temporal and preventative. keywords: bioethics; christian; complex; disciplines; human; knowledge; life; nature; new; order; philosophy; press; problems; questions; sciences; theology; theory; university cache: td-135.pdf plain text: td-135.txt item: #99 of 504 id: td-136 author: Ingle, M.

It became clear that the combined duties were too onerous for one person, so the sanitary board decided to appoint a secretary and a health inspector.¹⁶ Pioneering work that Miles was carrying out so effectively with the new fire brigade was cut short in July 1892 when he was dismissed by the sanitary board for alleged serious neglect of duties in his capacity as town engineer. keywords: aburrow; africa; board; city; council; department; engineer; johannesburg; municipal; nasa; pretoria; sanitary; secretary; south; tab; town; town engineer; transvaal; water cache: td-138.pdf plain text: td-138.txt item: #101 of 504 id: td-139 author: Joubert, R W; Hargreaves, A T title: Reflective journals in service learning: a window into assessing learning and change in students' attitudes date: 2009-04-04 words: 4568 flesch: 54 summary: Pavlovich, K. 2007, The development of reflective practice through student journals.

The agent- based perspective is centred on the general nature and rules of land use decision making by individuals and represents the motivations behind decisions and the external factors that influence decisions about land use. keywords: agents; catchment; change; factors; land; land use; model; use; water cache: td-166.pdf plain text: td-166.txt item: #128 of 504 id: td-169 author: Visser, Lieutenant Colonel GE (Deon); Monama, F L (Fankie) title: Black workers, typhoid fever and the construction of the Berg River – Saldanha military water pipeline, 1942 – 1943 date: 2008-04-11 words: 12313 flesch: 50 summary: Typhoid fever and the construction of the Berg River TD, 4(1), July 2008, pp. 181-208. 192 the Public Heath Committee in Cape Town reported no less than 886 cases of typhoid fever (all races) in the city and Langa Township.60 It seems however, that when outbreaks of typhoid fever occurred, it seldom if ever reached truly epidemic proportions.

The research further found that it is essential to the success of water services franchising that, inter alia: � Service to customers meets the specification in the franchise contract with the water services authority � Suitable franchisors are willing and available � Local entrepreneurs are willing to take up water services franchise opportunities � Franchising proves to be a viable business for franchisor and franchisee alike � Funding partners support water services franchising in just the same way as they support in comparable circumstances water services provision by other institutional means On the last of these points: franchising partnerships must benefit from the funding streams (e.g. the Equitable Share Programme) to the municipality to the same extent as these streams are intended to benefit any other type of water services provider, including the municipality itself. keywords: africa; business; delivery; franchising; franchisor; infrastructure; maintenance; operation; partnerships; principles; quality; sector; services franchising; support; water services cache: td-173.pdf plain text: td-173.txt item: #133 of 504 id: td-174 author: Olowu, Oladejo title: Privatisation and water governance in Africa: implications of a rights-based approach date: 2008-04-11 words: 15070 flesch: 39 summary: However, this obviously has not been the overall outcome and while there have been pockets of relative success, the privatisation of the water sector has failed in many other cases.36 One of the main grounds of criticism was that the tariff hikes following water privatisation were not affordable to low-income consumers.

Francis, entitled Troubling the Teaching and Learning of Gender and Sexuality Diversity in South African Education, is aimed at entering the discourse about the changing method of teaching about gender and sexuality in schools as not being based on a new curriculum, but instead reiterating the need for stakeholders to re-learn and reflect on the dynamic landscape of teacher education to align with standards already upheld through curriculum and constitutional ideals often construed in classrooms because of silencing textbook and curriculum knowledge. keywords: diversity; gender; sexuality; south cache: td-803.htm plain text: td-803.txt item: #460 of 504 id: td-809 author: None title: td-809 date: None words: 7874 flesch: 41 summary: Abstract Introduction Literature review Methodology Results Discussion of findings Conclusion Acknowledgements References About the Author(s) Clement Makholwa Department of Information Systems, Faculty of Commerce, University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa Adheesh Budree Department of Information Systems, Faculty of Commerce, University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa Salah Kabanda Department of Information Systems, Faculty of Commerce, University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa Citation Makholwa, C., Budree, A. & Kabanda, S., 2020, ‘Mobile financial services for bottom of pyramid users: Keywords: Mobile financial services; Bottom of the pyramid; Emerging economies; Financial inclusion; Macro, medium and small enterprises (SMMEs). keywords: adoption; africa; banking; bop; data; factors; group; journal; mfs; mobile; payments; research; services; south; study; technology; usage; use cache: td-809.htm plain text: td-809.txt item: #461 of 504 id: td-81 author: Tempelhoff, Johann title: The ‘long now’ of southern African water: Exploring aspects of enchantment and disenchantment in Brandfort date: 2015-11-01 words: 10393 flesch: 53 summary: Will it be possible for us to come to a better understanding of historical processes of climate change and how these influenced societies in terms of the availability of local water resources?

The following aligns with the fact that ubuntu characteristics, along with democratic education, will correctly respond to classroom unity and students’ performance.29 Possible solutions to challenges using democratic and ubuntu principles In response to the second objective of this study, data related to the solutions that could enhance diversity management in South African secondary schools are coded, thematised and analysed under the following sub-themes: inculcation of classroom relationships and sense of belonging and training and retraining of teachers and students in diversity management. Inculcation of classroom relationships and sense of belonging Relationships and interactions amongst students and teachers have been found to be crucial to the success of classroom activities and have also been linked to the student and staff productivity.40 So the place of ubuntuism towards the management of diversities is as critical as the schooling itself. keywords: africa; classroom; diversities; diversity; education; learners; learning; management; people; schools; south; students; teachers; ubuntu cache: td-854.htm plain text: td-854.txt item: #472 of 504 id: td-856 author: None title: td-856 date: None words: 7272 flesch: 48 summary: Keywords: Setswana; business language; communication patterns; district municipality; Gauteng; South Africa.

The model demonstrates how awareness strategies (training and education), privacy and CIA can be employed to guide employee information security compliance to ensure that social media risk is minimised.5,20 Conclusion Actions of employees could increase the prevalence of cyber risk in various organisations. keywords: awareness; data; employees; homepage; information; information security; internet; media; organisations; research; risks; security; social; studies; study; use; workplace cache: td-909.htm plain text: td-909.txt item: #488 of 504 id: td-91 author: Beyene, H G title: Socio-economic factors as causes and remedies for conflict of the San community in Platfontein date: 2014-12-30 words: 11109 flesch: 59 summary: The Khomani San were entitled to their own land: the other San communities, the !Xun and Khwe, which settled in Platfontein, are entitled to own farmland closer to Kimberley (Robins 2001).

Another typical example of flecha bravery was Operation Chirva (Goat) in August 1971, when 50 flechas were encircled by a force of about 200 MPLA insurgents; after intense fire from mortars and bazookas by the flechas, the MPLA insurgents withdrew.75 San flechas also contributed to stopping SWAPO insurgents moving through Cuando Cubango to South-West Africa.76 According to Cardoso, the flechas operating in collaboration with the South African Police (SAP), South African Air Force (SAAF) and Portuguese troops stationed on Neriquinha “cleared” the islands in the Cuando river of SWAPO and UNITA insurgents.77 The continuous flecha operations from 1966 to 1974 were especially effective in the Cuando Cubango province, where the constant pressure they exerted on the enemy frustrated and defeated the insurgents’ ability to penetrate the Angolan heartland. keywords: africa; angola; battalion; cann; cardoso; flechas; group; interview; khwe; militarisation; military; people; pide; platfontein; portuguese; san; soldiers; south; van; xun cache: td-93.pdf plain text: td-93.txt item: #491 of 504 id: td-938 author: None title: td-938 date: None words: 6409 flesch: 44 summary: Employee engagement is argued to be a result of engaged leadership where ‘leaders … lead in ways that engage employees’.24 This leadership style creates the climate for positive engagement, but if leaders put profit before people, micromanage and ignore staff feedback they would be on the right path to ‘killing’ employee engagement.21 Leaders caution that the traditional HR approach of valuing tenure over impact will have a negative impact on employee engagement in what the author calls the ‘new world of work’.20 Millennials are realistic about this world of work and generally expect Industry 4.0 to have a dramatic, but generally positive, impact in the workplace by augmenting their job and allowing them to move away from the mundane aspects thereof.18 Millennials and employee engagement Given that Millennials will form 50% of the global workforce by 2020,8 it is critical to business success to ensure that they engage in the workplace.
