Thesis (M.A. (African Languages)) --University of Limpopo, 2012 / The mini-dissertation investigated the role played by an aunt in African Culture with special reference to Tshivenḓa. The study has discovered that an aunt played an important role in a family. Nowadays, other people are involved in the role played by makhadzi. This seems as if the community is confused about the role of makhadzi

The influence of family dynamics on adolescents deviant and sexual risk behaviour in a migration affected community in South Africa: an evidence for public health interventionAnyanwu, Felix Chima 18 May 2018 (has links)
PhD (Public Health) / Department of Public Health / The well-being of adolescents’ population is a major concern to policy makers, educators and
researchers all over the world. Research has shown that adolescents engage in deviant and risky
sexual behaviour, and such behaviour may have consequences for their present or future health.
Likewise, it has been shown that adolescents are also known to conform to societal norms if they
are given proper guidance. In the light of this, the present study proposed to explore and explain
the influence of family dynamics in the occurrence of adolescents deviant and sexual risk
behaviour.
This study involved a sequential explorative, descriptive and analytic mixed method design,
combining both qualitative and quantitative research approaches. The study was divided into
three (3) phases. Phase 1 was purely qualitative in nature, where a total of 10 parents and 13
adolescents were engaged in an in-depth interview. Phase 2 was quantitative in nature, using a
cross-sectional analytic design involving 388 adolescents, while Phase 3 was the development of
a public health intervention to mitigate the influence of family dynamics on adolescent deviant and
sexual risk behaviour. The qualitative data were analysed using thematic content analysis, while
the quantitative data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS)
version 22. The Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, multinomial and binary logistic regression
were used to compare differences between the dependent and independent variables. The level
of statistical difference was set at p<0.05.
Couple conflicts was a common finding in the study. In addition, many families suffered severe
financial constraints and some parents were disconnected from their children physically,
emotionally and financially (particularly the fathers). Adolescents claim that the age difference
between them and their parents remains a barrier to communication, in addition, some
participants claimed that they received little or no sex education from their parents. The present
study found a high level of recent physical violence (30%), alcohol (52.9%) and drug use (10%)
among participants. The level of sexual activity in this study was high, with 60.1% of the
participants being sexually active and 23.1% having been pregnant. In addition, only 35.6% using
condoms regularly. There was gender difference among participants on the following variables:
cigarette smoking, teenage pregnancy and having multiple sexual partners. Furthermore,
participants differed significantly across age group on the following variables: cigarette smoking,
sexual activity, having friends who are sexually active, reported pregnancy and currently having
iii
a relationship. However, ‘relationship with mother’ was the family dynamic variable that recorded
a wider effect on deviant and sexual risk behaviour. Furthermore, age, duration of stay in the
community, living with siblings, relationship with mother, having enough money at home, being
supported emotionally at home and parental love for each other, were predictors of deviant and
sexual risk behaviour in the present study. There was also low level of risk perception and low
level of skill for self-protection among the participants. As part of the objectives of the present
study, the study findings were used to develop an evidence-based public health programme
targeted at vulnerable adolescents and adolescents at high risk for deviant and sexual risk
behaviour. It is hoped that this programme will be able to empower parents and caregivers to
apply better parenting practices to forestall undue exposure of adolescents to factors that
contribute to deviant and sexual risk behaviour.
The present study demonstrated that although adolescents have the propensity for deviant
behaviours, many may transit to adulthood without much adverse sequelae even in the face of
harsh family social and economic adversities. However, a proportion of the adolescent population
in this community remains vulnerable due to the effects of family de-structuring, poverty and
unemployment. / NRF

Invloed van samelewingsveranderinge op verhoudinge binne die stedelike gesin : 'n sosio-opvoedkundige verkenning / The influence of changing societal phenomena on urban families : a socio-educational analysisScholtz, Renée 01 1900 (has links)
Die 21ste eeuse postmodeme samelewing word gekenmerk deur dinamiese veranderinge op aile gebiede
wat die kwaliteit van die gesinslewe en opvoedingsbegeleiding binne gesinne bepaaL Hierdie
studie poog om aan die hand van 'n omvangryke literatuurstudie en kwalitatiewe
ondersoek, die aard, omvang en invloed van sodanige samelewingsverskynsels op verhoudingstigting-
en onderhouding en die kwaliteit van opvoedingsbegeleiding in eietydse stadsgesinne te bepaal.
Bevindinge toon dat sommige gesinne, as gevolg van hierdie veranderinge, uiters kwesbaar is, dat
verhoudinge ontaard en opvoedingsbegeleiding ontoereikend voltrek. Die verval van norme en waardes
is veral verswarend vir opvoeding en volwassewordingshulp. Ouers en kinders moet onder
verswarende omstandighede die verantwoordelikheid opneem om harmoniese en Iiefdevolle verhoudinge
in die gesin te stig en te onderhou.
Ondersteunings- en begeleidingsprogramme vir ouers en kinders om toereikende
opvoedingsbegeleiding en selfaktualisering te verseker, word aanbeveel. Hierdie programme moet op
die mikro-, meso- en makrovlak van die samelewing geloods word. / The post-modem society of the 21st century is characterized by dynamic changes which
determine the quality of family life and educational support in families. This study aims to
determine, by means of a comprehensive literature study and qualitative investigation, the nature,
extent and influence of social phenomena on the constitution and maintenance of relationships
as well as the quality of educational support in contemporary urban families. Findings show that
some families are vulnerable, that relationships deteriorate and that educational support is
inadequate as a result of these changes. The decline of norms and values is an aggravating factor
in education and adolescence support. Parents and children have to take responsibility to
establish harmonious and loving relationships in the family.
Support and guidance programmes are recommended for parents and children to ensure
adequate educational support and self-actualization. These programmes must be launched on the
micro, meso and macro level of society. / Educational studies / M. Ed. (Sosio-Opvoedkunde)
