Affirmative action, equality and Section 8 of the constitutionVan Wyk, M. W. 11 1900 (has links)
The constitutionality of affirmative action in terms of section 8 of Act 200 of 1993 is investigated.
The study contends that in constitutional interpretation it is permissible to have recourse to
ethical precepts as long as these are anchored within the four corners of the Constitution. It is
contended that the •equality clause• does not prescribe equality of outcome in favour of
substantive equality of opportunity. It is asserted that group-based affirmative action may
justifiably be attacked as being unconstitutional; either on the basis that it infringes the nonbeneficiary's
equality rights in terms of sections 8(1) and 8(2) or that it falls beyond the
constitutional protection afforded to affirmative action in terms of section 8(3). Furthermore,
group-based modalities of affirmative action may also not constitute a permissible limitation on
the fundamental right to equality, if compared to an individual-based socio-economic affirmative
action model. / Jurisprudence / LL. M.

Perceived influence of inequality on the career development of emerging adults in South AfricaSmith, Adriaan Frederik 10 1900 (has links)
After the transition from the Apartheid government to the first democratically elected government of South Africa in 1994, massive challenges of inequality had to be addressed. The career development and ability of those individuals who were discriminated against, to participate economically, are still a challenge today which indicate that past inequalities have not yet been addressed. The study aimed to gain a deeper understanding of how inequality influence the career development of emerging adults in South Africa. The findings indicated that the legacy of inequality in South Africa is still a highly influential factor in the career development of emerging adults with regards to the lack of mentorship and access to information experienced. The inability of South Africans as a collective to address the legacy of inequality also influence prospects for career development with regards to emerging adults not being financially able to gain access to career development opportunities. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.

Becoming democratic in the Life Sciences : reframing Life Sciences teaching and learning through posthumanism / Om demokraties in die Lewenswetenskappe te word : die heropstel van Lewenswetenskappe-onderrig en -leer deur posthumanisme / Ukuba yintando yeningi kusayensi yezempilo : ukuvuselela ukufundiswa nokufunda isayenzi yezempilo ngokusebenzisa okwakhiwa emva kokuphila komuntuMamutse, Kudakwashe 23 June 2021 (has links)
Abstract in English, Afrikaans and Zulu / The aim of the study was to develop a critical posthumanist and democratic theory that may be applied in the teaching and learning of Life Sciences in South Africa in order to achieve an expanded form of democracy that would not discriminate between human and nonhuman. Though both critical posthumanist and democratic theories have been used in pedagogical studies separately, this study focused on the development of a merged and broader theory that has elements of both of the theories. The term nonhuman, as used here, does not specifically refer to non-person individuals only. Rather, it also refers to people who are regarded by the dominant humans as nonhumans – inferiors and subalterns. The latter group of people include the poor, women, children, people of colour and the disabled. Owing to this binarisation characteristic of the Life Sciences as a subject – which it adopts from the nature of science, its curriculum, and pedagogical approaches – the impression is given that as the master of the universe, the human has unlimited power over all other entities. These other nonhuman entities are then regarded as resources for the use of humans. Yet, it is this attitude which has caused humans to abuse nonhumans to the extent that the earth is facing the catastrophe of the Anthropocene.
The adoption of a critical education approach characterised by the development of a critical posthumanist and democratic theory that may be applied in the teaching and learning of Life Sciences is essential in dealing with the issue of the Anthropocene that is threatening the earth currently. This study thus seeks to adopt a critical education approach through the introduction of democracy into the teaching and learning of Life Sciences, specifically so that humans would get to a position where they would consider nonhumans as entities with which they co-exist, and entities with equal agency within the environment. The recognition of the need for democracy would allow the humans to treat the nonhumans (such as the environment and ‘subalterns’) with respect, as their compatriots; and by doing that, the harrowing issues leading to the catastrophe of the Anthropocene could be either avoided or averted. / Die doel van die studie was om ’n kritiese posthumanistiese en demokratiese teorie te ontwikkel wat op die onderrig en leer van Lewenswetenskappe in Suid-Afrika toegepas kan word om ’n uitgebreide vorm van demokrasie daar te stel wat nie tussen menslik en niemenslik sal diskrimineer nie. Hoewel kritiese posthumanistiese sowel as demokratiese teorieë apart in pedagogiese studies gebruik word, het hierdie studie op die ontwikkeling van ’n saamgesmelte en breër teorie wat elemente van beide teorieë bevat, gefokus. Die term niemenslik soos wat dit hier gebruik word, verwys nie spesifiek net na niepersoon-individue nie. Dit verwys eerder ook na mense wat deur die dominante mense as niemense – minderes en ondergeskiktes – beskou word. Die laasgenoemde groep mense sluit die armes, vroue, kinders, mense van kleur en gestremde mense in. Vanweë hierdie binêre eienskap van die Lewenswetenskappe as ’n vak – wat dit as gevolg van die aard van wetenskap, sy kurrikulum en pedagogiese benaderings aanvaar het – word die indruk geskep dat die mens as heerser van die heelal onbeperkte mag oor al die ander entiteite het. Hierdie ander niemenslike entiteite word dan as hulpbronne vir gebruik deur mense gesien. Dit is egter hierdie houding wat veroorsaak het dat mense niemense misbruik, in so ’n mate dat die aarde die katastrofe van die Antroposeen in die gesig staar.
Die aanneem van ’n kritiese onderrigbenadering wat gekenmerk word deur die ontwikkeling van ’n kritiese posthumanistiese en demokratiese teorie wat by die onderrig en leer van Lewenswetenskappe gebruik kan word, is noodsaaklik om die kwessie van die Antroposeen wat die aarde tans bedreig, te hanteer. Hierdie studie wil dus ’n kritiese onderrigbenadering volg deur middel van die bekendstelling van demokrasie by die onderrig en leer van Lewenswetenskappe, in die besonder sodat mense in ’n posisie sal wees waar hulle niemense as entiteite saam met wie hulle ’n bestaan moet voer, en entiteite met gelyke verteenwoordiging in die omgewing, sal beskou. Om die behoefte aan demokrasie te erken, sal die mense toelaat om die niemense (soos die omgewing en “ondergeskiktes”) as hulle landgenote met respek te behandel; en deur dit te doen, kan die pynlike kwessies wat tot die katastrofe van die Antroposeen sal lei, moontlik vermy of afgeweer word. / Inhloso yalolu cwaningo kwakungukusungula umbono obucayi owenziwa ngemuva kokuphila komuntu nentando yeningi engasetshenziswa ekufundisweni nasekufundeni kwesayensi yezempilo eNingizimu Afrika ukuze kuzuzwe uhlobo olwandisiwe lwentando yeningi olungeke lubandlulule phakathi kwabantu kanye nokungebona abantu.

An African feminist study of talent management practices applied to improve gender equality in JSE-listed South African mining boards : a multiple case analysisMoraka, Nthabiseng Violet 05 1900 (has links)
Mining as a historical male-dominated space is confronted by various transformational
structural changes. While the racial composition of mining boards has improved,
gender representation of women in boards is problematic. Owing to our historical
legacy of apartheid and decades of colonialism, South Africa became a victim of an
unequal society. The new political dispensation under the leadership of Nelson
Mandela sought to redress those inequalities after the fall of apartheid in 1994.
However, gender inequalities and the gender subject remain contentious issues,
particularly in historically male-dominated sectors such as mining. With legislation
enforcement, only a few mining companies have improved the representation of
women on boards (WoB), while some companies remain with no women or only one
woman on board. However, despite the atrocities of apartheid, South African mining
sector is relatively performing better in terms of WoB than countries that were not
exposed to such a discriminatory dispensation. Yet still, mining lags far behind
compared to other industries in South Africa.
This outlook led me to conduct a multiple cross-case analysis research study to explore
how women were integrated into mining by reviewing talent management practices
used to appoint women (and men) by exploring recruitment, development and retention
practices. I adopted an emancipatory critical research approach, a feminist
epistemological paradigm, and I considered African feminism a suitable research
approach given the unique context of South African mining history.
The results showed that the industry still faces gender structural inequalities guided by
an indoctrinated mindset of the sector, and that it is still to a great extent racially biased.
While most focus of talent management is directed at recruiting more women, men still
control recruitment, which is biased and informal, and different or stringent recruitment
criteria are applied for women. Even though women occupy a few board seats and
exceed the critical mass in some boards, they still face change-resistant attitudes and
stereotypes and a double glass ceiling in terms of who has a right of voice, which
disregarded their talent. All women regardless of race, were subject to stereotypes, but
dealt with them differently. I found that black women are more affected than any other
racial group due to their social identities, facing triple oppression due to their gender
and race, but also class, which affects their confidence and their talent offering to board
responsibilities. In fear of marginalisation, the black women in my study felt that they
needed to earn the trust of men, especially those of white men. White, Indian and
1coloured women who were affected by gender stereotypes were silent about those
prejudices, but were also still discriminated against with fewer board opportunities. The
effectiveness of training and development of directors and retention was hindered by
the culture in mining, individual constructed identities and societal gender
constructions of roles and responsibilities. These constructions undermined the talent
of women in boards and constructed the talent of men as superior. / Thesisi ye e fa tlhahlobo ye e tseneletšego ya ditirišo tša taolo ya talente ka

A selection of legal issues relating to persons living with albinismMswela, Mphoeng Maureen 10 1900 (has links)
Despite the fact that albinism affects several South Africans, it is a condition that
remains deeply misunderstood. Albinism is steeped in myth and false notions, and is
perceived by many as a curse and contamination. For years, persons living with
albinism have been treated with doubt and suspicion. Also in schools and in the
wider community, children with albinism are subjected to violence and ridicule. In
certain areas on the African continent, including Southern Africa, persons living with
albinism are killed for the trade in body parts for use as sacramental medicines, or
sexually assaulted as a result of the belief that raping them may offer a cure for
HIV/AIDS. All of this highlights the extreme vulnerability of persons living with
albinism, not to mention the many violations of their fundamental rights that follow
from the manner in which they are treated. Within the social context that frames the
experience of persons living with albinism, the primary purpose of this study is to
highlight some of the pertinent challenges faced by persons living with albinism in
South Africa which compromise the full enjoyment of their fundamental rights as
enshrined in the South African Constitution. The thesis makes a number of practical
recommendations that will assist in promoting the legal position of this vulnerable
group, while also contributing to a better understanding of albinism in general which
will ultimately change negative perceptions and debunk the myths surrounding the
condition. / Jurisprudence / LL. D.
