Coloured lens : a study of the socio-cultural context of Wentworth in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, towards a photographic documentary

Houston, Natalie 10 September 2012 (has links)
Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for M.Tech.: Graphic Design, Durban University of Technology, 2011. / Social issues are a very real problem in South Africa. Violent protests in poorer communities around South Africa indicate a need to better understand negative social realities impacting on communities. This research examined the sociocultural context of Wentworth in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, as shown on the map on page x. The focus of this study was the social and community realities; and the significance of photography in the context of examining these. The aim was to use photography as a research tool as well as to document the data collected. From the data a 118-page book, as shown on page viii, was conceptualised, which captures this community’s social context. Further, the study questioned the use of design practice to support social change. Because of the distinctly “Coloured” nature of Wentworth, literature was sought for the definition, history, current dynamics and complexities of Coloured identity. The literature review highlighted ethics and the strategies that should be adhered to when considering the social nature of photography. For this inquiry a qualitative analysis was conducted using the Grounded Theory method. A collaborative, or participatory research approach, was used for data collection, by working closely with families and health, church and non-governmental groups in Wentworth. Qualitative data collection methods used to gather primary data were photographic documentation and interviews. This research produced a number of key findings regarding socio-cultural problems plaguing the community. Findings deemed photography a rich tool for researching the social and for accurately recording everyday life. The main conclusions drawn from this research were that in-depth studies be conducted on individual problems, utilising greater manpower and funding. In addition, that further research and documentation be undertaken in the community.

Unlocking the full potential of non-white male executives in South African corporations : success stories of non-white South African male executives

Botha, Mike 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2014. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Coloured males in top and senior managerial positions are not advancing at the same rate as males from other races in South Africa. In reality the Commission of Employment Equity is showing a decline for Coloured males in top and senior management positions. The purpose of this study was to understand what interventions organisations can implement to increase the number of Coloured males in leadership roles as well as ensuring their loyalty at an early stage in their careers. The aim of the study was to explore the experiences of Coloured males in senior managerial roles via the use of semi structured interviews. The study highlights the earlier influences that assisted with the advancement of Coloured males, the barriers they encountered and what success factors played a role in their career ascent. A qualitative approach was employed for the collection of primary data and involved interviews with fourteen Coloured males who are in senior management roles in the corporate sphere. The study together with literature reviewed, highlights the interventions that organisations can implement to ensure that Coloured males advance at the same pace as their White counterparts. In particular these interventions if done at an early stage of the careers of Coloured males it could lead to loyalty that will ensure that this constituency stays with the organisation.

The ability of the vast number of disadvantaged youths to cope with the stresses that confront them on a daily basis, has profound consequences for the South Africa of the future. the present study was prompted by the lack of any comprehensive and accessible intervention programme for children under stress in this country, as well as by the dearth of applied stress research into so-called "normal" Apartheid-related conditions.
