Gender politics and problems in Southern Africa: KwaZulu-Natal, Swaziland and Namibia in the post-colonial/apartheid era.Mngomezulu, Bhekithemba Richard January 1997 (has links)
Magister Artium - MA / The study of gender is crucial for the achievement and
sustainability of the democratic ethos in Southern Africa. The
substantial·literature in this field attests· to this notion1
'. It
could help us understand why certain gender stereotypes are
viewed by societies as given.rat could also help us explain such
problems as the unequal representation in most political
structures, and the gendered labour system!. In addition, as the
quotation a~ove suggests, the way we talk has gender connotations
of which most people are unaware. Many males however, distance
themselves from public debates on gender issues on the grounds
that gender is about women.

The role of the South African Democratic Teachers Union in the process of teacher rationalisation in the Western Cape between 1990 and 2001Whittle, Granville Christiaan 20 May 2008 (has links)
This thesis postulates that the inability of the post-apartheid government to deal decisively with the “legacies of apartheid education” is linked to the macro-educational policy trajectory endorsed by the African National Congress government in the early 1990s. It notes that post-apartheid education policymaking shows similarities with the National Party reforms initiated towards the end of the 1980s in education. In the late 1980s the apartheid government implemented a broad educational framework consonant with the rise of neo-liberal restructuring emerging internationally. It is argued that the teacher unions, and the South African Democratic Teachers Union (SADTU) in particular, were active role-players in shaping the new educational trajectory and discourse and that it was particularly because of the acquiescence of the unions that the government was able to embark on the road of neo-liberal restructuring with very little organised opposition. SADTU’s weak opposition to the rising influence of neo-liberal educational restructuring greatly facilitated the creation of a two-tier education system that South Africa is grappling with today, one for the rich and one for the poor. / Thesis (PhD (Education Policy Studies))--University of Pretoria, 2008. / Education Management and Policy Studies / PhD / unrestricted

Die representasie van 'wit' armoede in Afrikaanse jeugliteratuurVan der Westhuizen, Loraine January 2017 (has links)
This study examines the representation of "white" poverty in Afrikaans youth literature between 1990 and 2009 by focussing on the following novels: Droomwa (1990) by Barrie Hough, Die optog van die aftjoppers (1994) by George Weideman, Vaselinetjie (2004) by Anoeschka von Meck, Roepman (2004) by Jan van Tonder, Lien se lankstaanskoene (2008) by Derick van der Walt and Lammervanger (2009) by Frans van Rensburg. The novels are analysed by employing critical whiteness studies as an overarching theoretical framework. Indicators of the "white" characters' poverty are identified with regard to description, dialogue, actions, place and narration with the aim of determining how and why these representations are evident in the novels. In these novels, poverty partly functions as a feature of the the so-called problem book and coming of age novel. Apartheid is the backdrop for some of the novels; here, "white" poverty is portrayed in a nostalgic manner. The most prominent indicator of the characters' poverty is the place where they reside. Other indicators are their appearance, possessions, dialogue and actions. The characters' poverty is not stated explicitly by the narrator in any of the novels. The "whiteness" of characters is represented as self-evident. Apart from this matter-of-factness, there is other evidence of "white" privilege in the way that "white" poverty is represented. The relative poverty of the "white" characters becomes apparent through the opportunities still available to them. These opportunities enable most of the characters to experience relief from or rid themselves of their poverty. The implications of "whiteness" are evident on various levels in the novels and also imbue some "white" characters with the illusion that they should act as the rescuers of "black" characters. / Die representasie van "wit" armoede in Afrikaanse jeugliteratuur tussen 1990 en 2009 word in hierdie studie ondersoek. Die romans wat bestudeer word, is Droomwa (1990) deur Barrie Hough, Die optog van die aftjoppers (1994) deur George Weideman, Vaselinetjie (2004) deur Anoeschka von Meck, Roepman (2004) deur Jan van Tonder, Lien se lankstaanskoene (2008) deur Derick van der Walt en Lammervanger (2009) deur Frans van Rensburg. Kritiese witheidstudies is die oorkoepelende teoretiese raamwerk waarbinne die romans ontleed word. Die merkers van die "wit" karakters se armoede word ten opsigte van beskrywing, dialoog, optrede, ruimte en vertelling geïdentifiseer met die doel om vas te stel hoe en hoekom "wit" armoede in die tekste gerepresenteer word.
Die prominentste merker van die karakters se armoede is die ruimte waarin hulle bly. Ander merkers is voorkoms, besittings, dialoog en optrede. In geen van die romans word die karakters se armoede eksplisiet deur die vertelinstansie aangedui nie. Die karakters se "witheid" word grotendeels in die ses romans as vanselfsprekend aangebied. Tesame met hierdie vanselfsprekendheid is daar besliste elemente van "wit" bevoorregting in die uitbeelding van "wit" armoede in die tekste teenwoordig. Die relatiwiteit van die "wit" karakters se armoede word duidelik deur die geleenthede waartoe hulle ten spyte van hul armoede toegang het; hierdie geleenthede stel meeste van die karakters in staat om hul armoede te verlig of daarvan verlos te word aan die einde van die romans. Die implikasies van "witheid" is op verskillende vlakke in die romans waarneembaar en verleen ook aan die karakters die illusie dat hulle, in meeste van die romans, tot die "swart" karakters se redding moet kom.

The jurisprudence of Steve Biko : a study in race law and power in the "afterlife" of colonial-apartheidModiri, Joel Malesela January 2017 (has links)
This study contemplates the development of a South African critical race theory (CRT) with reference to the thought of Steve Biko. From a long view, the aim of this research is to bring the insights of the Black Radical Tradition to bear on the study of law and jurisprudence with particular focus on the problem of “post-apartheid South Africa”. Working from the scene of the “afterlife” of colonial-apartheid and situated at the intersection of critical race theory (CRT) and Black Consciousness (BC), this study aims to develop an alternative approach to law and jurisprudence that could respond to the persistence of race and racism as the deep and fundamental fault-lines of post-1994 South Africa. The transition to a “new” South Africa, undergirded by the discourses of human rights, nation-building and reconciliation and underwritten by a liberal and Western constitution followed a path of change and transformation which has resulted in the reproduction of colonial-apartheid power relations. Settler-colonial white supremacy as both a structure of power and a symbolic order continues to determine, shape and organise the South African socio-economic, cultural, political, psychic and juridical landscape. This foregoing problem has remained largely unthought in the South African legal academy and therefore this research takes up the task of recalling the thought, memory and politics of Steve Biko in search of a critical and liberatory perspective that could counter dominant theoretical and jurisprudential accounts of the past and present. The study therefore explores Biko’s historical interpretation of the South African reality and his theorisation of concepts such race, identity and liberation and retrieves these in order to critique and contest both post-1994 law, society and jurisprudence as well as the faulty epistemological, historical, and ideological terms on which they are based. In the end, the study proposes to read Biko’s thought as standing in the guise of a jurisprudence of liberation or post-conquest jurisprudence which unsettles the very foundations of “post”-apartheid law and reason. / Thesis (DPhil)--University of Pretoria, 2017. / Jurisprudence / DPhil / Unrestricted

Sexual Domination: Colonial Guilt and Postcolonial Hatred in J. M. Coetzee's Disgrace / Den koloniala skulden och det postkoloniala hatet i J. M. Coetzees DisgraceMigoyan, Janet January 2021 (has links)
J.M. Coetzee’s Disgrace was published during a defining moment in South African history in 1999. Five years earlier Nelson Mandela had been elected president after the first general election. The healing process in a country divided by race and a history marked by racial crimes, committed under long time by collective actions of many generations of colonizers, was a decisive historical necessity. Disgrace illustrates the economical and emotional mechanisms of sexual exploitation of women in post-apartheid South African society. Those socioeconomic mechanisms are fueled by postcolonial hate, making the reconciliation process difficult in the new democracy. The aim of this bachelor project is to show how Coetzee’s Disgrace contextualizes the collective humanitarian guilt and disgrace caused by sexual oppression of woman and illustrates the challenges that post-apartheid South Africa faces to reconcile with the racial crimes committed during apartheid when sexual crimes continue under the historical shadow of colonial power and postcolonial hatred.

The African child and the hidden curriculum at Blythswood Institute: Three snapshotsNogqala, Xolela January 2021 (has links)
Masters of Art / This mini-thesis seeks to understand how the colonial and apartheid state imagined the African child in South Africa through education policies and their associated hidden curriculum. It asks what educational project was deemed suitable for the African child and how did this project configure her future? At the core of this enquiry is a preoccupation to understand how institutions, their curricula and objects rid themselves of colonial precepts. In working through this, I employ Blythswood Institute as a provocation to think and to historicise the education of African children, such as those at Blythswood, in three moments: colonialism and the founding of Blythswood in 1877; apartheid and the passing of the Bantu Education Act of 1953, and the post-apartheid times of democratic South Africa.

Visual technologies and the shaping of public memory of disappeared persons in Cape Town (1960-1990)Rahman, Ziyaad January 2021 (has links)
Masters of Art / The starting point of this thesis is the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission
(TRC) and the Missing Person’s Task Team (MPTT), two instruments of the post-apartheid
government, both of which have directly attended to the disappeared dead. The disappeared
dead are defined in this thesis as persons abducted and subject to enforced disappearances, as
well as those killed in other political circumstances whose bodies were buried by the
apartheid state, in some cases as unnamed paupers, thus denying families the opportunity to
bury and mourn according to familial or cultural norms. Today the MPTT still seeks to locate
the gravesites of the disappeared dead, to exhume, identify and to return the mortal remains
to their families.

Frameworks of representation: A design History of the district six museum in Cape TownHayes-Roberts, Hayley Elizabeth January 2020 (has links)
Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / Since 1994, the District Six Museum, in constructing histories of forced removals from District Six, Cape Town, commenced as a post-apartheid memory project which evolved into a memorial museum. Design has been a central strategy claimed by the museum in its process of making memory work visible to its attendant publics evolving into a South African cultural brand. Co-design within the museum is aesthetically infused with sensitively curated exhibitions and a form of museumisation, across two tangible sites of engagement, which imparts a unique visual language

Perspectives of Transracial Adoption: a Case Study of South AfricaNielsen, Carolina January 2019 (has links)
South Africa has been under apartheid regime characterized by racial segregation. As a result, transracial adoption only became legal in 1991. The aim of this thesis is to analyze how transracial adoption has been perceived in South Africa. A post-colonialism theory together with a critical race theory will be used in order to understand the phenomenon that has taken place. The results of this thesis show that, even though there is a need for further research, attitudes towards this practice have been generally positive. This demonstrates that the country is slowly overcoming the lasting effects of apartheid in terms of acceptance of transracial adoption.

Teachers' perceptions of the essential features of whole school development / organisation : towards a model for interventionMyeza, Qalokunye Andrias January 2003 (has links)
Sublllitted to the Faculty of Education in fulfilment of the requirements for the
DEGREE Of DOCTOR Of EDUCATION in the Department of Educational Psychology and
Special Education at theUniversity of Zululand, 2003. / This study examines teachers' perceptions of the elements of whole school development and the extent to which certain essential features of such development are associated with school effectiveness. The study aims at determining the extent to which school effectiveness is associated with the following four elements (or sets of elements) in terms of respondent dimensions: (1) access to technical and human resources; (2)adoption of a clear culture, vision and identity; (3) involvement in efficient strategic planning, structural arrangements and procedures; and (collectively) (4) gender, age, teaching qualifications and teaching experience.
To this end an instrument was constructed based on the Government bluebook for inspection of schools. The bluebook-based instrument was found to be descriptive and, therefore, intended to collect data of a qualitative nature. On the grounds of this serious omission the instrument had to be adapted so as to yield quantitative data covering all the essential features of school organisation. Care was taken to ensure that the instrument has content validity that covers all the essential features of school organisation.
The findings revealed that there is a very strong association between the essential features of whole school development and school effectiveness. The analysis of responses in respect of these essential features has enabled us to arrange them in a rank order. The factor that covers adoption of a clear culture, vision and identity was rated in the first position. This was followed by a factor dealing with access to technical and human resources. The last position was occupied by the factor dealing with involvement in efficient strategic planning, structural arrangements and procedures. The study revealed that while age, gender and teaching experience, as aspects of teacher characteristics, did not influence teachers' opinions on the essential features of school organisation, the variable of teaching qualification was found to be influential in this regard.
