Black in-migration from the Eastern Cape into the Cape Metropolitan area : profile of the migrant and reasons for movingBritz, Andre Alfrieda January 2002 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Migration is the (usually free) movement of individuals from one place to
another. Migration is formally conceptualized as the movement of households
from relatively poorer regions - the sending areas -- to relatively better-off
regions -- the receiving areas -- thereby enhancing the households' chances of
improved access to resources. The migrant can be defined as a person that has
gone out of his/her own free will from one place to another. In this sample and
study, a distinction will be made between household heads born in the CMA,
household heads that arrived before 1994, and household heads that arrived in
the CMA in 1994 and thereafter. These migrants will be called "Household Head
Born CMA", "Household Head older migrants", and "Household Head recent
migrants" respectively.
Informal squatter settlements are mushrooming at the outskirts of the CMA and
very little is known about the motivation of migrants to leave their rural areas. In
explaining the occurrence of migration and of why people migrate, one has to
consider the push-pull theory. In the sending areas there are certain push
factors, pushing the migrant out of the area. In the receiving area, there are pull
factors, pulling the migrant towards the area. Migrants are also not a random
selection of people. They have specific traits and differ from non-migrants in
certain respects (age, life-cycle stage, marital status, education, occupation and
status, cultural attributes and traditionalist vs. innovator). It was found in this
study that the CMA as opposed to the Eastern Cape has certain differences,
thereby pulling and pushing the migrant into and out of the areas respectively.
Also, migrants seem to have different characteristics than that of the nonmigrant. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Swart In-Migrasie vanaf die Oos Kaap tot die Kaapse Metropolitaanse Area
(KMA):
Profiel van die Migrant en Migrasie Redes
Oorsig
Migrasie is die (gewoonlik vrye) beweging van indiwidue van een plek na 'n
ander. Migrasie word formeel gedefinieer as die beweging van huishoudings
vanaf afsend-areas tot ontvangs-areas. Die huishouding se kanse op beter
toegang tot hulpbronne word verbeter. 'n Migrant is 'n persoon wat uit vrye wil
van een area na die volgende trek. Onderskeid word gemaak tussen die
huishouding-hoof wat gebore is in die KMA, die huishouding-hoof wat die KMA
binne-getrek het voor 1994, en die huishouding-hoof wat die KMA binnegetrek
het tydens 1994 en daarna.
Informele nedersettings, oftewel plakkerskampe, is besig om vinnig toe te neem
aan die buitwyke van die KMA en baie min inligting is beskikbaar oor wat
potensiële migrante motiveer om die landelike gebiede te verlaat. Wanneer
daar na die beweegredes gekyk word, is dit noodsaaklik om die "stoot en trek"
teorie te oorweeg as 'n moontlike verduideliking. Migrante is ook nie 'n lukrake
versameling van mense nie. Hulle het baie spesifieke eienskappe wat verskil
van nie-migrante In sekere opsigte (ouderdom, lewens-siklus fase,
huwelikstatus, opvoeding, beroep en status, kulturele eienskappe en so meer).
In hierdie studie is gevind dat die Ooskaap en die KMA so verskil dat migrante
na die KMA aangetrek word.

A missiological exploration of a Pentecostal Church’s contribution to migrants’ social integration in DurbanNzwiba, Mubili 11 1900 (has links)
The subject of migrants’ social integration in receiving countries is a growing debate in the 21st
century amongst the international community and the nations of the world. It is a serious concern
for many organizations advocating for social justice. The Church worldwide and the migrant
church in Durban South Africa in particular, is called to be among the defenders and promoters of
migrants’ social integration; integration which will bring forth migrants’ social and economic
contribution to the development of Durban’s social and economic life.
This view of this study is that in the post-apartheid period sufficient attention has not been paid
by the South African government, policy-makers and the church in the welcoming and protection
of migrants who have “flooded” the country. The lack of preparedness has resulted in migrants
being used as scapegoat by some South Africans on the pretext that they lower the country’s
social life, steal national citizens’ jobs and commit crime. This growing social and economic
discomfort in South Africa resulted in xenophobic violence in May 2008.
The dissertation surveys migrants’ challenges in South Africa and Durban in particular. It
explores the response of a migrant Pentecostal church called Faith Ministries Durban (FMD) to
these challenges, as well as its contribution to the promotion of Congolese migrants’ social
integration. The study further explores, among other aspects, the theology of migration. This
exploration is a call to theologians to advocate for migrants’ care and rights so that they may
not endure discrimination, abuse and struggle because of them being outsiders. Migrants have
to benefit equal rights as fellow South Africans. From the life narratives of ten FMD’s
members, the study explores FMD’s role in the lives of its migrant members. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M. Th. (Missiology)

Migrant women labourers and “leaving children behind” : community women’s perceptionsNdala, Ephie Lebohang 16 July 2020 (has links)
Migration has always been part of South African history, both in the collective and as individuals. Under apartheid, children were separated from their fathers and sometimes mothers for long periods of time, and as a coping strategy, foster care was introduced. This trend is still noticeable as we continue to find both men and women moving from rural households in pursuit of employment. In countries where gender roles are still very inflexible and the mother’s main role is perceived as that of raising children and the father’s as providing for the family, migration of mothers is perceived as a much larger disruption in a child’s life than is the father’s absence. Drawing from critical feminist theory, which pays particular attention to issues of discrimination and oppression against women, my study aimed at exploring the perceptions Madelakufa community women have about migrant women labourers who leave their children. A qualitative approach was employed, and data were collected through conducting three focus groups. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology: Research Consultation)

Eine multidimensionale Methodik zur Analyse von Bekehrungsmotiven = A multi-dimensional methodology for the analysis of conversion motivesRink, Tobias 28 February 2006 (has links)
Zusammenfassung
Das Forschungsprojekt untersucht Bekehrungsmotive von südsudanesischen Migranten, die in einem islamischen Kontext leben. Dazu wird zunächst das biblisch-theologische Bekeh¬rungsverständnis erhoben und im Kontext seiner kirchengeschichtlichen Entwicklung dar¬gestellt. Da jede Bekehrung ein multidimensionaler Prozess ist, der neben theologischen Fragestellungen auch soziologische, anthropologische und religionspsychologische Aspekte enthält, wird ein multidimensionaler Ansatz zur Erforschung von Bekehrungsmotiven konzipiert und ein Forschungswerkzeug erstellt, dass den Kontext südsudanesischer Migranten aufnimmt. Dieses kommt im Rahmen einer Pilotstudie zum Einsatz, die aus fünf Konvertiten-Interviews besteht. Zuerst wird der Inhalt jedes Interviews aus theologischer, soziologischer, religionspsychologischer und anthropologischer Sicht separat erhoben. Danach werden die unterschiedlichen Betrachtungsweisen in einen kritischen Dialog gebracht, um die Bekehrungsmotive zu bestimmen, welche den Kategorien kognitiv-religiös, mystisch-religiös, affektiv, experimentell oder sozial-politisch zugeordnet werden. Zum Schluss wird der Ertrag aller Interviews zu einem Gesamtergebnis verbunden und einer selbstkritischen Evaluierung unterzogen.
Summary
This dissertation examines conversion motives of Southern Sudanese migrants who live in an Islamic context. First of all a theological view of conversion in scripture and its development in the church history is presented. Since every conversion is a multi-dimensional process containing not only theological problems but also sociological, anthropological and religio¬psychlogical aspects, a multi-dimensional approach and a reseach methodology are designed for above context. This methodology is used for a pilot study of five interviews with converts. Each interview is examined separately from a theological, sociological, religio-psychological and anthropological analysis. After this the different views are brought into a critical dialog in order to identify the motives of conversion which are related to cognitive-religious, mystical¬religious, affective, experimental or social-political categories. The results of all individual interviews are merged in a final analysis and reflected in a self-critical evaluation. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M. Th. (Missiology)

Resettlement in the Border/Ciskei region of South Africa / Development Studies Working Paper, no. 67De Wet, C J, Lujabe, Phumeza, Metele, Nosipho January 1996 (has links)
This paper presents the findings of part of a research project entitled "Population Mobility and Settlement Patterns in the Eastern Cape, 1950 to 1990", which was funded by the Human Sciences Research Council. The part of the project with which this paper is concerned, is the study of resettlement in the Border/Ciskei area of the (new) Eastern Cape Province. It involves two main foci: a) the Whittlesea district of the former Ciskei, where research was done in the resettlement area of Sada (where findings are compared with research done there in 1981) and Dongwe; and b) the Fort Beaufort area, where we looked at the two 'black spot' communities of Upisdraai and Gqugesi which were uprooted and moved to the Fort Beaufort township of Bhofolo in the 1960s, and at the establishment of black citrus farmers in the Kat River Valley in the late 1980s, on previously White owned farms which were bought out by the (then) Ciskei government. In the Conclusion, some important differences are suggested between resettlement in the Eastern Cape and in QwaQwa, one of the areas of South Africa that has been most severely affected by resettlement. Ways in which the South African material may be seen in terms of prevailing models for the analysis of resettlement, and may provide an input for the modification of these approaches, are briefly considered. / Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

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)

Hostel redevelopment programme of the Kagiso Hostel in the Mogale City Local MunicipalityUbisi, Salphinah Vuloyimuni 17 March 2014 (has links)
Hostels are a product of the migrant labour system that originated in the copper mining industry in Namaqualand in the 1850s. The migrant labour compounds were used to accommodate migrant labour workers in the urban areas. However, these compounds also meant that migrant labour workers were denied the right of access to permanent accommodation and residential space in the urban areas. After the repeal of the influx control and segregative laws in South Africa in 1986, some of the hostel dwellers brought their relatives and friends to live in the hostels and this resulted in problems such as overcrowding which were exacerbated by poor management and control of the hostels. The living conditions of the hostel dwellers deteriorated during the 1990s. After the announcement of the unbanning of all liberation movements and political parties in South Africa in the 1990s, hostel violence broke out. This hostel violence left many hostel blocks vandalised and without basic municipal services such as electricity, water and waste removal. The hostel violence was primarily between the Inkata Freedom Party (IFP) aligned hostel dwellers and the African National Congress (ANC) aligned township and informal settlement residents.
The hostel violence has catalysed the public housing challenges faced by the democratic government since its inception in 1994. Nevertheless, since 1994 the democratic government has introduced various housing programmes in an effort to provide adequate houses for all South African citizens. One such housing programme is the hostel redevelopment programme. The hostel redevelopment programme was adopted by the democratic government after 1994 with the aim of, among other things, upgrading public hostels, redeveloping and converting the rooms in public hostels into family rental units in order to improve the living conditions of the hostel dwellers and introducing hostel dwellers to family life. The Mogale City Local Municipality (MCLM) is one of the municipalities in Gauteng province that is participating in the hostel redevelopment programme. The findings of this study have revealed that the upgrading of the Kagiso hostel involved the following two processes: During the first process, the MCLM upgraded the Kagiso hostel by fixing broken windows and doors, repairing toilets and providing basic municipal services such as electricity, water, and waste removal in order to improve the living conditions of the hostel dwellers. The second process involved demolishing the hostel blocks and converting them into family units in order to address the public housing challenges relevant to the Kagiso hostel. In this study, the hostel redevelopment programme is called process 1 and the community residential units (CRU) programme is called process 2. / Public Administration & Management / M. Tech.

Sustaining family life in rural China : reinterpreting filial piety in migrant Chinese familiesMai, Dan T. January 2015 (has links)
This study explores the changing nature of filial piety in contemporary society in rural China. With the economic, social and political upheavals that followed the Revolution, can 'great peace under heaven' still be found for the rural Chinese family as in the traditional Confucian proverb,"make yourself useful, look after your family, look after your country, and all is peaceful under heaven"? This study explores this question, in terms not so much of financial prosperity, but of non-tangible cultural values of filial piety, changing familial and gender roles, and economic migration. In particular, it examines how macro level changes in economic, social and demographic policies have affected family life in rural China. The primary policies examined were collectivisation, the hukou registration system, marketization, and the One-Child policy. Ethnographic interviews reveal how migration has affected rural family structures beyond the usual quantifiable economic measures. Using the village of Meijia, Sichuan province, as a paradigmatic sample of family, where members have moved to work in the cities, leaving their children behind with the grandparents, the study demonstrates how migration and modernization are reshaping familial roles, changing filial expectations, reshuffling notions of care-taking, and transforming traditional views on the value of daughters and daughters-in-law. The study concludes that the choices families make around migration, child-rearing and elder-care cannot be fully explained by either an income diversification model or a survival model, but rather through notions of filial piety. Yet the concept of filial piety itself is changing, particularly in relation to gender and perceptions about the worth of daughters and the mother/ daughter-in-law relationship. Understanding these new family dynamics will be important for both policy planners and economic analysts.
