Modiba, Mabule Esrom 12 September 2012 (has links)
M.Phil. / The problem giving rise to research on the role of the school in the reconstruction of society, is a practical one. The question is how could the school interact with society in the education of children and so play a leading role. The discussion above immediately poses several problems which may be summarised by means of the following questions. What are the social and educational problems confronting the community of Mamelodi? How can the school help in addressing these problems? To what extent can the school contribute towards the reconstruction of the community in Mamelodi? Having identified problems related to schooling in Mamelodi, the aims of the research will be established. The aim of the research is to determine the contribution that the schools in Mamelodi can make towards the reconstruction of the community

The implementation of a RDP public works programme in the Greater Johannesburg TMC

Korb, Ilonka Suzanna 06 September 2012 (has links)
M.A. / The South African development context is characterized by high levels of unemployment and poverty. It is therefore imperative to address these two aspects if any advancement in regard to development is to be achieved. Several options are available to development agents and government structures alike. The pre-requisite, however, for the selection of an option is sustainability. A Public Works Programme (PWP) holds the potential of impacting on South Africa's high levels of unemployment and poverty. Although this programme needs to be implemented alongside similar economic upliftment initiatives, a PWP can contribute significantly to the improvement of the SA development situation. The nature of a PWP has changed from purely creating jobs, to including training and education as essential components of a PWP. Only by including the latter components, can a PWP be deemed sustainable and impact directly on the lives of the participants. With the transformation to a new political dispensation in April 1994, SA also embarked on formulating a holistic and comprehensive development approach and vision. The final product was the Reconstruction and Development Programme. This Programme established the broad framework in which development policy and implementation take place. The RDP consists of various development aspects, all aimed at improving the SA development context. One of these aspects is focused at the upliftment and stimulation of the economy. The PWP forms part of the overall economic strategy. From this theoretical point of departure, the National PWP was formulated. One of the main factors that contributed to the slow development and implementation of the NPWP was the absence of local government structures. Local government structures underwent similar changes to those experienced at national level. In addition to the structural and geographical changes, the responsibilities of local government increased due to decentralisation of powers and functions from national government. Now local government holds the position of "development facilitator" instead of being a mere supplier of municipal services. Local economic development within the specified area has been emphasised as an urgent matter that needs to be developed and supported by local government. The NPWP fits perfectly into this mould. This study investigates the nature of the NPWP and the role of local government in its implementation with specific reference to a Gauteng local authority, the Greater Johannesburg Transitional Metropolitan Council.
