`n Kritiese ondersoek na die aard en inhoud van trustbegunstigdes se regte ingevolge die Suid-Afrikaanse reg = A critical investigation into the nature and content of the rights of beneficiaries in terms of the South African law of trustsCoetzee, Jacob Petrus 30 April 2006 (has links)
OPSOMMING
Alhoewel die trustfiguur reeds sedert die 19e Eeu in Suid-Afrika erken word, en as `n suiwer trustfiguur tipeer kan word, is die hantering van die regte van sekere trustbegunstigdes steeds in onsekerheid gehul. Die hoofrede hiervoor is die oorbeklemtoning van die wyse waarop trusts tot stand kom en die onderbeklemtoning van die unieke fidusiêre aard van die trust na oprigting daarvan. In Engeland, Skotland, Sri Lanka, Louisiana en Quebec, waar die suiwer trustfiguur ook aanwending vind, bestaan, in teenstelling met die oënskynlike regsposisie in Suid-Afrika, die moontlikheid van trustbegunstigdes sonder regte glad nie. In hierdie jurisdiksies speel die oprigtingsinstrument `n ondergeskikte rol en ontstaan die regte van trustbegunstigdes ex lege uit hoofde van die trustfiguur as `n vertrouensverhouding sui generis. Alhoewel die Suid-Afrikaanse trustreg die fidusiêre aard van die verhouding tussen trustee en trustbegunstigde erken, word die aard en omvang van die regte wat hieruit voort behoort te vloei nog nie voldoende deur die howe erken nie.
Vertrouensverhoudinge waaruit regte en verpligtinge ex lege voortspruit, is bekend aan die gemenereg en word steeds hedendaags aangetref in verskeie ander vakdissiplines binne die Suid-Afrikaanse reg, waaronder die maatskappyereg. Die suiwer trustfiguur stel verder noodwendig `n vertrouensverhouding daar wat juis daarop gemik is om die regte van trustbegunstigdes te beskerm. Die standpunt word dus ingeneem dat alle trustbegunstigdes in Suid-Afrika derhalwe oor ex lege regte beskik. Daar word aan die hand gedoen dat trustbegunstigdes se regte nie uitsluitlik voortvloei uit hoofde van die tersaaklike oprigtingshandeling nie, maar dat unieke regte ontstaan as gevolg van die onderliggende fidusiêre verhouding wat tot stand kom wanneer, maar ongeag hoe, die trust opgerig word. Kortom: Die fidusiêre verhouding behoort erken te word as eie, onafhanklike bron van trustbegunstigdes se moontlike regte teen die trustee in die geval van trustbreuk.
Nie net is dit `n logiese stap in die ontwikkeling van die gemenereg nie, maar sal dit ook die beskerming van trustbegunstigdes in die Suid-Afrikaanse trustreg op dieselfde voet plaas as trustbegunstigdes in die ander jurisdiksies wat nagevors is. So 'n stap sal bydra tot regsekerheid en nie tot `n wesentlike omwenteling in die Suid-Afrikaanse trustreg en -administrasie lei nie.
SYNOPSIS
Although the trust figure has been recognised in South Africa since the 19th century and can be characterised as a proper trust, uncertainty still prevails regarding the scope and acknowledgement of the rights of some trust beneficiaries. The main reason for this is the over-emphasis of the manner in which trusts are created, and the under-emphasis of the unique fiduciary nature of the trust once it has been established. In England, Scotland, Sri Lanka, Louisiana and Quebec where the proper trust figure is also applied, there is no possibility, contrary to the apparent legal position in South Africa, of trust beneficiaries without rights. In these jurisdictions the instrument used to create a trust plays a subordinate role and the rights of trust beneficiaries originate ex lege by virtue of the trust itself as a relationship of trust sui generis. Although South African trust law acknowledges the fiduciary nature of the relationship between trustee and trust beneficiary, the nature and extent of the rights that should emanate from this relationship are not adequately acknowledged by the courts. / Jurisprudence / L.L.D.

Intervention strategy for improving livelihoods of restituted farm beneficiaries in Waterberg District of Limpopo Province, South AfricaTjale, Malose Moses 17 May 2019 (has links)
PhDRDV / Institute for Rural Development / Land reform programmes have been implemented to address challenges of inequality in land
ownership and poverty in many countries worldwide. They provide the poor people with
important livelihood opportunities, such as livestock rearing, crop production and game farming
in many rural areas. The government of South Africa, through the Department of Rural
Development and Land Reform (DRDLR) allocated various farms through the restitution
programme to deal with unemployment, poverty, unsustainable livelihoods, shortage of skills
and inequality challenges. This study focused on the restituted farm beneficiaries in Waterberg
District. This was informed by the fact that since these farms were restituted, the majority of the
farm beneficiary’s livelihoods have not significantly changed.
A transformative sequential mixed method design was applied in this study in order to enable
beneficiaries define their own issues and seek solutions. This involved concurrent collection of
both quantitative and qualitative data; a stratified random sampling method was used to select
474 respondents. Qualitative data was collected using Interview guides, photo-voice and focus
group discussions mainly from key informants- traditional leaders and the Ward Councillors.
Two focus group discussion were held with the key informants and an observation was also
used to collect qualitative data from the farmers. The data were analysed using ATLAS. ti
version 7.5.7 and Thematic Content Analysis. The quantitative data was collected using a
survey questionnaire and the Geographical Information System (GIS) approach to provide
trends of the farm production. Remote sensing analysis was used to determine farm production
performance of these restituted farms while the Statistical Package for the Social Science
(SPSS version 25) was used for computing descriptive statistics and cross-tabulation.
The data indicated that farm production has declined since occupation of farms by the farm
beneficiaries from 1995 to 2015. The decline has negatively affected the livelihoods of farm
beneficiaries since more than half (61.6 %) indicated difficulties in effective operation of the farm
due to lack of markets. About 64% of the farm beneficiaries have not been trained in farming.
From 1995 to 2015, most of the restituted farms have lacked markets for their produce due to
poor production arising from lack of funds to manage the farms. This has impeded beneficiaries
from receiving any benefits, in terms of income or employment. Generally, the study concluded
that there were no changes in the socio-economic status of the farm beneficiaries in the
Waterberg District because most of the farms are not being utilised. The study recommends that
the sector Department and private organizations should work together in ways, such as
assisting the farm beneficiaries with capacity building, developing marketing strategy for the
farm produce, with funds and infrastructure to improve production.
With respect to farm performance satisfaction, the majority (77.2 %) of the farm beneficiaries
were not satisfied with the restituted farms. Their benefits in terms of human development,
financial, social and physical capitals had not changed as the majority (83.3 %) said there are
no improvements in terms of salaries or wages. They claim that their livelihoods have remained
the same because the farms are not operational due to lack of basic farming skills and conflicts.
Agricultural Extension Advisors, Councillors, Traditional leaders and officials from DRDLR
confirmed that production levels have declined because the land was transferred to people with
no basic training in farming; most (54 %) of the respondents confirmed that the beneficiaries,
therefore utilise only a portion of the farms. It is imperative, thus, to ensure that production on
the restituted farms is enhanced to improve the areas, such as social, financial, human and
physical capital.
A three-pronged intervention strategy was, therefore, developed to help restituted farm
beneficiaries in Waterberg District to improve their livelihoods, emancipate themselves from
poverty and ultimately contribute to the National Development Plan of South Africa. The
developed strategy is anchored on three key factors: the need for thorough assessment by the
government on the farm beneficiary’s level of commitment to the farm prior to farm allocation
and funding, need to incorporate new experts in agricultural economics and agricultural
engineers into the restituted farms personnel and the need to decentralize the services of
mentors and agricultural extension advisors at District and local Municipalities. / NRF

The effectiveness of the South Africa-Cuban Technical Support Programme (SACTSP) in improving the quality of life of housing beneficiaries in South AricaMukhadakhomu, Aifheli Ismael 09 1900 (has links)
The post-apartheid government inherited an urban housing backlog of approximately 1.3 million units at its inception in 1994. This huge backlog was partially contributed by apartheid discriminatory administrations and laws such as the Black (Native) Laws Amendment Act, No 46 of 1937 and the Black Communities Development Act, No 4 of 1984 along with rapid urbanization during the post-apartheid period.
In a bid to address past injustice related to housing, it has become necessary for the post-apartheid government to diversify housing delivery approach to include alternative development and delivery strategies, methodologies and products including upgrading of informal settlements, and increasing rental stock. The human settlements department also encouraged the establishment and implementation of self-help housing through the establishment of the People Housing Process (PHP). It is the implementation of this programme that led to the establishment of the SACTSP aimed at enhancing South African housing service delivery using Cuban experience. The programme has been implemented in the South African human settlements sector since 2002. The focus of this research is to evaluate the impact of the South African Cuban Technical Support Programme (SACTSP) in the lives of the South African housing beneficiaries. The collected and analysed data, to a large degree, confirmed the effect of the programme in the lives of the beneficiaries.
The research design of the study is a multiple Case Studies approach. The scope of the study is the three provinces participating in the SACTSP, which are Mpumalanga (MP), Western Cape (WC), and Limpopo (LP). The intention was to have both the control group and the intervention group in the same province, but due to the over usage of the CTA’s in these provinces the researcher decided to use Gauteng Province (GP), a non-participating province in the programme, as a control group. This is also due to the fact that the province (Gauteng) is also commonly known for publicly criticising the effectiveness of the SACTSP programme. Data was collected in three housing projects from the three Gauteng Metropolitan Municipalities Tshwane, Ekurhuleni and City of Johannesburg. The selected projects were Mamelodi Extension 5 in Tshwane, Villa Lisa (Boksburg) in Ekurhuleni and Driekiek Extension 3 in Orange Farm, Johannesburg.
The selected projects where the CTAs participated (experimental group) were Chicago Bulls at Strand in Cape Town (WC), Thekwane South Housing Projects, Nelspruit in Mpumalanga and Westernburg at Polokwane in Limpopo Province.
In each unit of evaluation, questionnaires to collect data were distributed to the rightful owners (beneficiaries) of the houses, who were above eighteen years of age. (Annexure A). The participants, all rightful owners of state subsidies, were identified by means of purposive sampling. The main goal of purposive sampling is to focus on particular characteristics of a population that are of interest, which will best enable the researcher to answer the research questions
Semi-structured interview questions were also conducted to the main stakeholders in the housing circle. This includes officials in all spheres of government involves in delivering sustainable human settlements (Annexure B). The selection is also influenced by what is called the “good enough” rule in formulating evaluation research (Rossi et al., 2012:28). Stated simply the “good enough” rule advocates that the evaluator should choose the strongest possible design from a methodological stand point after having taken into account the potential importance of the results, the practicality and feasibility of each design and the probability that the design chosen will produce useful and credible results (Rossi et al., 2012:33)
The collected data was analysed and presented in five principal stages involving descriptive and inferential statistics. The first phase involves presenting the reliability of the instrument using Cronbach’s alpha. The second phase presents the descriptive statistics of the sample using frequencies, and proportions for categorical data and means and standard deviations for continuous variables. The validity of the instrument then follows using exploratory factor analysis which explains the observed variables that are linked to underlying factors. The fourth phase involves calculation of composite variables using the means and averages to determine the trend patterns in the data. The central limit theorem was applied to the data and comparative analyses were done to determine whether views differed by socio-demographic variables. The two sample independent t-tests were done to determine whether views of the respondents differed for two-categorical variables and the one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to determine whether views differ for variables with more than two categories. The fifth stage
presented the correlation analysis which was used to determine the extent or degree of the relationship between the constructs.
The findings of the studies confirm the effectiveness of the programmes in the participating provinces. The study also discovered that, CTA’s are mostly transferring skills to contractors who happened to be working close to the CTAs and only to beneficiaries in a few instances. This is due to the nature of the self-help model that the South African government adopted which involves private contractors in building PHP houses. This model ignores the national PHP policy and guidelines which recognise beneficiaries as the main drivers of the PHP. The study concludes by recommending the department policy makers to monitor and enforce correct implementation of formulated policy to close the gaps that are usually created between policy formulation and implementation. / Public Administration and Management / D.

Does post-settlement support play a role in the success of land reform? : the case of resettlement beneficiaries in NamibiaHoaes, Ingrid Emmy 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis ((MPhil (Sustainable Development Planning and Management))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT:
The research deals with post-settlement support in Namibia‟s land reform process. Post-settlement support (PSS) is seen as vital and critical in all land and agrarian reform processes, as can be told from experiences worldwide. Its absence or presence can have a number of consequences or successes in the whole process. PSS can be viewed as the “after care” to be provided by government to new farmers after resettling them. It could be in the form of financial support, extension services and maintenance of infrastructure as well as training services for the farmers.
The paper deals with the current status of post-settlement support in the country for land a reform beneficiary, who provides PSS, if it is provided and how it is done. It further looks at perceptions and practices about land reform, in some regions of the world as well as in Namibia.
The methodology used was through extensive literature review of policy documents, interviews with different stakeholders and two case studies, looking at beneficiaries of the land reform, specifically the national land resettlement programme beneficiaries.
The paper found that there is definitely a link between the poor productivity and lack of PSS in Namibia‟s land reform process. PSS is not consistent; it is selected or sometimes randomly carried out. Most of the PSS programmes currently provided is not initiated by government but by donor agencies and Non-governmental organisations. There is no coordination between the different stakeholders such as the line ministries.
The paper illustrates that choosing the correct beneficiaries of the land reform process is vital in achieving sustainable, land use and management, as well as equitable land redistribution in an arid Namibia. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING:
Hierdie navorsing handel oor ondersteuning wat hervestigde boere ontvang na vestiging. Die ondersteuning aan hervestigdes is krities en belangrik in alle fasette van grond en landbou hervormings prosesse. Die huidige wêreld verleen groot steun aan hierdie gevolgtrekking. Daarvoor hou die toepasing oftewel nie-toepasing van na-hervestigings ondersteuning groot risiko vir die sukses van die hele hervestigings proses.
Hierdie tipe ondersteuning vir hervestigdes kan as 'n noodsaaklike na diens wat die staat kan lewer aan die nuwe grond eienaars. Sulke ondersteuning deur die staat kan verskeie vorms inneem. Dit kan geskied deur finansielle hulp oftewel landbou dienste wat ook die instandhouding van plaas infrastruktuur kan behels.
In hierdie navorsing kyk ons na opvattings rakende hervestigings ondersteuining soos ervaar deur die hervestigdes. Die navorsing is gebaseer op literatuur van reg-oor die wereld aangaande hierdie vraag stuk.
Ons het ook onderhoude gevoer met verskillende belanghebbendes met twee gevalle studies wat handel oor die ervarringe van hervestigdes.
Die navorsing vind dat daar 'n definitiewe verband tussen swak produksie opbrengste en na-hervestiging ondersteuning is. Ons vind dat hierdie tipe ondersteuning ad hoc is met baie min koordinering deur die staat masjienery.
Ons vind dat dit op die lange duur belangrik is om die regte mense te selekteer vir hervestiging programme, veral as in ag geneem word dat Namibie 'n taamlike droë land is.

An assessment of the role of social capital in collaborative environmental governance in tribal communities: the study of Gumbi and Zondi communities in KwaZulu Natal Province, South AfricaMusavengane, Regis January 2017 (has links)
Thesis

School of Geography, Archaeology and Environmental Studies
January 2017. / Political transformations in most developing nations have been accompanied by vast land claims by indigenous communities who were forcibly detached from their traditional land during colonisation and apartheid-like dispensations. In the context of sub-Saharan African countries (including South Africa), the need for land reform has been aggravated by the great scarcity of farmland. However, most of the reclaimed land is in areas pursuing conservation activities. Now, caught between owning the land and pursuing conservation as a land use option to improve livelihood; local communities have tended to form partnerships and collaborations with external stakeholders in managing communally owned natural resources. Collaborative management is perceived as a sustainable route in governing common pool natural resources in re-claimed areas. It is in this regard, that this research aims at establishing the role to which social capital can be instrumental in promoting sustainable governance in co-managed community game reserves in Kwa-Zulu Natal.
This study follows a case study approach, with Zondi and Gumbi communities in Umvoti and uPhongolo Districts of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa respectively being used to obtain empirical evidence. Two basic criteria were taken into consideration in selecting appropriate case study areas to attain the aim of the study. Firstly, whether the area had successfully claimed the land and secondly, if there were collaborative efforts from different stakeholders in managing available common resources. To ensure equal representation, research participants were drawn from households, community leaders, conservation organisations and policy makers from the government.
This study’s methodological positionality is interpretive in nature, and its operational framework base is qualitative research. It therefore uses a number of qualitative techniques in an attempt to establish the role of social capital in governing Somkhanda (in Gumbi) and Ngome (in Zondi) Community Game Reserves. For instance, systemic-resilience thinking and socio-ecological learning
approaches were used to analyse the participatory relationship and effects in
managing community natural resources in Gumbi and Zondi communities.
It has been revealed in this study that the key to successful collaborative
environmental management projects revolves around issues of participation,
transparency, reciprocity and effective communication. These elements are
important ingredients in building strong social capital. Community social cohesion
builds trust between internal and external actors, especially in communities that
were once subjected to various forms of segregation and corrupt systems of
governance. The presence of trust in managing common pool resources ensures
effective stakeholder participation as well as involvement in decision making
processes.
Furthermore, the evidence from this study suggests that the frequent exclusion of
rural populations from participation in processes with a direct influence on their
lives, undermines efforts to pursue Community-Based Ecotourism. More
profoundly, the study found that, as an analytical tool, social capital seems to
provide a dynamic and holistic explanatory approach to the pursuance of
Community-Based Ecotourism in land-claimed communities, compared with the
dominant evaluative techniques in the tourism field. Another important practical
implication is that social capital can be used to promote the analysis of communities
as heterogeneous and evolving, as opposed to the assumptions of their
homogeneity and static state. There is a strong possibility that social capital can also
address power-relations, social exclusion and inequality, through consideration of
both structural and cognitive indicators.
The findings from this study make several contributions to the body of knowledge.
Firstly, they provide a better understanding of social capital variables influencing
community participation in conservation activities. This is of use when designing or
developing future Collaborative Community-Based Natural Resources Management
(CCBNRM) projects. Secondly, from a broader perspective, the study advises policy
makers not to ignore related community policies which might impact community
participation in CCBNRMs. This is essential in considering the direction of future
conservation and rural development policy. Thirdly, they provide a framework for
empowering local people and their communities to enhance participation in
CCBNRM. In view of this, a binding conclusion can be made that social capital can be
a vehicle through which the accumulation of different forms of capital can be
achieved and contribute towards sustainable environmental management. / MT2017

Medicaid prenatal care : testing the effectiveness of a prenatal intervention modelBuffa, Jan L. 04 May 2005 (has links)
The study evaluates the effectiveness of a pregnancy intervention
model (PIM) developed to improve first trimester prenatal care utilization in a
population of 2,694 low-income Medicaid women. Engagement in prenatal care is
critical before prenatal care can occur. Early initiation of prenatal care is important
for low income pregnant women at risk for poor birth outcomes and the Medicaid
managed care organizations that enroll them. Once identified and enrolled the health
plan utilization medical management staff assessed these women for a myriad of high
risk and socially detrimental behaviors in order to facilitate, in a sensitive manner,
their access to drug treatment or any needed service. Interventions included a real
time identification, reporting, incentive model using medical informatics to
supplement existing clinical based assessment of high risk pregnant women and
nursing care coordination that included outreach, enrollment assistance, support
services, interagency coordination, home visits, transportation and medical home
assignment. A difference was found in the utilization of first trimester prenatal care
visits for all women who conceived after the intervention compared to those who
conceived prior to the intervention date. A difference was also noted in the "no
prenatal care" category due a decrease in the number of women who did not receive
prenatal care. PIM appears to be a cost effective, simple solution to a real world
problem. / Graduation date: 2005

Analysing the causes and symptoms of poverty in a land reform community in the midlands of KwaZulu-Natal.Shinns, Lauren Hazel. January 2012 (has links)
The objectives of this thesis were firstly, to review existing literature in order to identify
broadly accepted and measurable indicators of the possible causes of poverty and the
resulting symptoms. Secondly, to gather baseline information from a group of land reform
beneficiaries in order to identify the different dimensions of poverty affecting the current
and future well-being of these households. Thirdly, to undertake empirical analysis to
assign these households to a small number of groups exhibiting different symptoms of
poverty and then explain these differences in terms of their possible causes.
A census survey of 38 land reform beneficiary households - members of a Communal
Property Association (CPA) established to purchase Clipstone, a 630 hectare subdivision
of the farm Sherwood in the midlands of KwaZulu-Natal - was conducted in May 2002 to
gather data on poverty indicators. Principal Component Analysis was used to construct an
index of the standard of housing, which was then combined with variables measuring other
symptoms of poverty (income, wealth and health) in a Cluster Analysis of the households.
This revealed five clusters representing four distinct groups of poverty; households
relatively income and asset rich, income rich but asset poor, asset rich but income poor and
households with the lowest incomes and assets. Linear Discriminant Analysis was then
used to distinguish the households that were relatively income and asset "rich" from those
that were relatively income and asset poor, and those that were relatively income poor but
"asset rich" from those relatively asset poor but "income rich".
The main distinguishing indicators were found to be gender of the household head, family
size, dependency ratio, education and access to markets. These findings show that there is a
need to increase child welfare grants as pension earnings become less effective (due to
decreasing life expectancy and high levels of dependence on pensions as a source of
income) in the short run. In the long run, there is a need for increased education and
vocational training - especially for women along with better access to transport, jobs and
banking facilities (to mobilise savings). / Thesis (M.Agric.Mgt.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2004.

Previous issue date: 2013-03-27 / Fundação Ford / This research examines the implementation of agricultural projects benefited from the District Development Fund (FDD), taking as if the District of Chibuto, Mozambique. Considering the characteristics of the country, the relevance of the FDD and the need to have a higher rate of payment of these projects highlights the need to study these projects, despite their increased over the years, has led to low rates compared financial resources to pay the FDD. Therefore, compromises the multiplier effect of these financial resources that should benefit more community development projects. For the preparation of this paper was applied to semi-structured interview managers FDD District and the methodology was used "snowball" in the selection of farmers interviewed, where the inclusion of informants was progressive as one respondent indicated behalf of another interviewee. Applied questionnaire with closed and open questions about the implementation of the projects. It was found that most farmers and agricultural associations are delinquent on the payment of the FDD, even with money incomes satisfactory and that some aspects of technical, institutional and human influence in the payment of the FDD. It is imperative to recast the management mechanisms FDD accompanied by other public policies. / O presente trabalho analisa a implementação de projetos agrícolas beneficiados pelo Fundo Distrital de Desenvolvimento (FDD), tomando como caso o Distrito de Chibuto, Moçambique. Considerando as características do país, a relevância do FDD e a necessidade de se ter uma maior taxa de pagamento desses projetos, destaca-se a necessidade do estudo desses projetos. Apesar de seu aumento ao logo dos anos, a taxa de adimplência do pagamento dos recursos financeiros do FDD é baixa o que compromete o efeito multiplicador desses recursos financeiros que deveriam beneficiar mais projetos de desenvolvimento comunitário. Para a elaboração do trabalho foi aplicada entrevista semi-estruturada aos gestores do FDD do Distrito e foi usada a metodologia bola de neve na seleção dos agricultores entrevistados, onde a inclusão de informantes foi progressiva à medida que um entrevistado indicou nome de outro entrevistado. Aplicou-se questionário contendo perguntas fechadas e abertas sobre a implementação dos projetos. Constatouse que a maioria dos agricultores familiares e associações agrícolas estão inadimplentes em relação ao pagamento do FDD, mesmo com rendas monetárias satisfatórias e que alguns fatores de natureza técnica, institucional e humano influenciam no pagamento do FDD. É imperativa a necessidade de reformulação dos mecanismos de gestão do FDD acompanhada de outras políticas públicas.
