An exploratory study of the informal hiring sites for day labourers in TshwaneXipu, Lawrence 02 1900 (has links)
The purpose of the study was to locate the informal hiring sites for day
labourers in Tshwane, to determine the approximate number of day labourers, to
describe the nature of socio-economic activities taking place at the sites, and to
make recommendations to address needs that have been identified. The research
approach and methodology was exploratory, descriptive, quantitative and
qualitative. In terms of the findings, 80 informal hiring sites were identified in
Tshwane with approximately 3032 day labourers standing at the sites. Case
studies were done on three sites and it was found that they were hazardous and
lacked basic facilities such as shelter and toilets. Employer-employee
interactions were also found to be haphazard and sometimes manipulative and
exploitative. It is recommended that intervention programmes should be
implemented which could include the provision of basic facilities, skills
development, job search assistance and access to comprehensive social services. / Health Studies / M.A. (Social Science - Mental Health)

The experiences and challenges of economic migrants from Zimbabwe in relocating and adjusting in South Africa : a social work perspectiveDube, Serbia 02 1900 (has links)
In the past decade Zimbabwe has experienced serious economic and political challenges, forcing many to flee in search of better employment opportunities and lifestyles. This research, conducted in Tshwane Gauteng, aimed to gain an in-depth understanding of Zimbabwean economic migrants’ experiences and challenges in relocating and adjusting in South Africa. Employing a qualitative approach, semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted to collect data which were analysed using Tesch’s framework (in Creswell, 2009:186). The ethical considerations of informed consent, anonymity and confidentiality, debriefing, guidelines for dealing with research data and record management, and honesty with professional colleagues were applied in the research.
The research confirms that most Zimbabweans relocated to South Africa for economic reasons and their social and family situations were affected. Challenges were experienced with government officials, in terms of employment, accommodation, education, health services, travelling and with banking institutions. Language barriers and differences in cultural beliefs and values impacted negatively on participants’ socialisation and adjustment. The research shows an alarming lack of social work visibility. The researcher recommends that social work should accept that economic migrants are part of their clientele / Social Work / M.S.W. (Social Work)
