'n Ontwikkelingsperspektief van vakleerlingskappe in Suid-Afrika : implikasies vir die onderwysstelsel / A developmental perspective of apprenticeships in South Africa : implications for the education systemVon Landsberg, John Lodewyk 11 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / Hierdie navorsing getiteld 'n Ontwikkelingsperspektief van vakleerlingskappe in Suid-Afrika: implikasies vir die onderwysstelsel ondersoek die wortels van die vakleerlingskap
stelsel sedert antieke tye, deur die koloniale tydperk in Suid-Afrika, die "armblankevraagstuk"1922-1960, voor-demokrasie 1950-1980, 1980-1993 en post-demokrasie
1994-2014. Die studie konsentreer op die kronologiese verloop van gebeure wat gelei
het tot die formalisering van die vakleerlingskapstelsel in Suid-Afrika in 1922 asook die
evolusie tot in sy huidige vorm. Spesifieke aandag is geskenk aan wetgewing, beide
provinsiaal en nasionaal, wat bygedra het tot die vorming van die stelsels.
Die vakleerlingskapstelsel van Amerika is ook ondersoek vanaf sy wortels tot die
huidige era met al sy vorme van tegniese beroepsonderwys asook vakleerlingopleiding.
Daar is gekyk na al die verskillende Amerikaanse kolleges en tegniese skoolstelsel.
‘n Vergelykende studie tussen Amerika en Suid-Afrika se vakleerlingskapstelsel is
gemaak met spesifieke aanbevelings vir die Suid-Afrikaanse stelsel. / This research, entitled A developmental perspective of apprenticeships in South Africa:
Implications for the education system, examined the origins of the apprenticeship
system from its roots in pre-history, through colonial time in South Africa, the "armblanke-vraagstuk" 1922-1960, pre-democracy 1950-1980, 1980-1993 and postdemocracy
1994-2014. This study concentrated on chronicling the events leading to the
establishment of formalized apprenticeship training in South Africa in 1922 and its
evolution to its present form. Particular attention was paid to the legislation, both
provincial and national, that provided for the establishment of the present system.
The apprenticeship system of the USA was also examined from its roots up to the
present time in all its forms of technical, vocational and artisan training. Looking at the
different college systems and technical training schools of the USA.
Comparisons between USA and South Africa‘s apprenticeship systems was made with
specific recommendations for South Africa‘s system. / Educational Foundations / M. Ed. (Vergelykende Opvoedkunde)

From reductionism to contextualization : towards a relevant Pentecostal missiology in South AfricaChetty, Dilipraj 30 June 2002 (has links)
In the first part of this dissertation I investigate whether the Pentecostal Churches in
South Africa has a reductionist understanding of crucial missiological issues. Issues such
as the definition of mission, motivation for missions, the role of the Holy Spirit in
mission, mission as a quest for social justice, mission as anti-racism, mission as a quest
for gender equality and mission as inter-religious encounter. In the second part of the
dissertation I present a more contextual approach to these missiological issues,
challenging the Pentecostal churches to move: towards the formation of a more relevant
missiology. l finally present the 'cycle of missionary praxis' or 'the Pastoral cycle' as a
tool that can be used to formulate a contextual missiology / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M.Th.

Liberation through Salvation: the Medieval Western European and South African experiences (1860 to 1994) compared through a selection of religious iconographyArthur, Duncan Malcolm 31 October 2007 (has links)
The medieval period (approximately 800 to 1300 AD) in Western Europe is noted for its rich tradition in religious Roman Catholic iconography. Frequently the only art works to be produced in the period, or to have survived, are religious icons of the period reflecting the dominant nature of the feudal structure of society and the oppressive circumstances that led to their execution. The works can be seen as a means of escape, although in an afterlife, or they might also be interpreted as a protest against the oppressive nature of the condition of the artist. The "rigidity" of a medieval existence and the utilisation of religious art as a means of expressing unhappiness with that existence may, as it is argued here, be interpreted as a means of protest. Rigid and oppressive political structures are not isolated to any particular historical period. South Africa too was an oppressive society where the material and political advancement of the majority of the population was stifled through discriminatory legislation and similar means making meaningful protest difficult, if not dangerous. This dissertation argues that religious art too became a means of protest in a manner intended to reflect the religious viewpoints of the artist but with political intentions and subtext. Similar themes in modern South African iconography (from approximately 1850 to 1994) and medieval prototypes are therefore discernible. / History / M.A. (History)

The history, role and influence of the South African military chaplaincy, 1914-2002Van Niekerk, Brand 11 1900 (has links)
The work of the South African chaplains during the First World War was of an extremely high standard. The postwar
military failed to recognise this contribution. In the 1920s and early 1930s the chaplaincy was allocated an
inferior position within the military. It was only in 1938 that the first chaplains were appointed in the Permanent
Force.
During the Second World War the unwillingness of the UDF hierarchy to appoint a single chaplain as the head
of a Chaplains' Branch influenced the ministry negatively. Inter-denominational issues were resolved on a
basis of consensus amongst Principal Chaplains who were granted very little executive power.
The establishment of the SA Corps of Chaplains in 1946 confirmed the permanency of the chaplaincy within the
UDF. The appointment of the first Deputy Chaplain General in 1949 did much to ensure effective ministry. The
discontinuation of this post in 1954 had a detrimental effect on the chaplaincy. With the establishment of the
Department of Physical and Spiritual Welfare in 1966 no clear cut division was made between the responsibility
for spiritual (pastoral) care and physical care (social welfare). This anomaly was rectified in 1968 when an
independent directorate for the chaplaincy was created and in 1970 when a Chaplain General was appointed.
The chaplaincy in South West Africa grew from a single chaplain at Walvis Bay in 1963 to an immense
organisation with hundreds of chaplains. In 1980 the SWATF Chaplain Service was formed under command of
its own director. The presence of SADF/SWATF chaplains in South West Africa ceased in 1989 with the
implementation of UN Resolution 435.
The 1990s was a decade of great transition and turmoil for the Chaplain Service. In 1994 the military chaplaincies
of the TBVC countries, as well as members from MK and APLA, were integrated into the Chaplain Service. The
implementation of the transformation policy of the Department of Defence resulted in the Chaplain Service
becoming more representative of the communities it serves. / Theology / D. Th. (Theology)

Kommunikasievaardighede as middel tot effektiewe konflikbestuur in multikulturele skoolsituasies : 'n onderwysbestuursperspektiefVölker, Anna Louise 06 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / In hierdie verhandeling word gepoog om teen die agtergrond van multikulturele skoolsituasies in Suid-Afrika 'n oorsig van die problematiek random kommunikasievaardighede te gee. Algemene intra- en interpersoonlike kommunikasievaardighede word uitgelig.
In aansluiting by 'n literatuurondersoek is kwalitatiewe data deur middel van onderhoude met skoolhoofde en onderwysers wat by multikulturele skoolsituasies betrokke is, ingesamel.
Die wyse waarop mense met mekaar praat is deurslaggewend.
Kommunikasieprobleme kan ontstaan wanneer kultuurgroepe met mekaar kommunikeer.
Die hantering van misverstande en konflik in multikulturele skoolsituasies is belangrik. Onderwysbestuurders moet verskeie kommunikasievaardighede tydens 'n konfliksituasie aanwend. Die doeltreffende funksionering van 'n skool word grootliks medebepaal deur effektiewe kommunikasievaardighede wat toegepas word om verhoudinge
tussen verskillende groepe te verbeter. Onderwysbestuurders behoort
opgelei te word om effektief met alle betrokkenes in 'n konfliksituasie te kommunikeer. / This paper endeavours to give a review of the problematic nature of communication skills against the background of multicultural school situations in South Africa.
General intra and interpersonal communication skills are highlighted.
Further to the literature review, qualitative data has been gathered through interviews with a number of principals and teachers who are involved in multicultural school situations.
The manner in which people speak to each other is important. Communication problems can occur when culture groups communicate. The management of misunderstandings and conflict is important in multicultural school situations. Education managers must utilise several communication skills during a conflict situation. The successful functioning of a school is essentially co-determined by the employment of
effective communication skills to improve relationships between different groups.
Education managers should be trained to communicate effectively with all persons involved in a conflict situation. / Educational Leadership and Management / M. Ed. (Onderwysbestuur)

The history of the Cape Town Orchestra : 1914-1997Gollom, Ingrid 01 1900 (has links)
The Cape Town Orchestra has exerted a major influence on the development of
orchestral music and musical culture not only in Cape Town but throughout South Africa.
It was the first professional orchestra in South Africa and came into existence on 28
February 1914.
The Orchestra's history has been divided into two main periods. During the first period,
from 1914 to 1968, the Orchestra was known as the Cape Town Municipal Orchestra.
During the second period, from 1969 until its final performance in 1997, the Orchestra
was known as the Cape Town Symphony Orchestra.
The Orchestra received financial support from the Cape Town Municipality throughout
its existence. After receiving its final municipal grant in 1996 the Orchestra could not
survive without financial assistance, and merged with the Capab Orchestra to become
the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra. The Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra gave.
its inaugural performance on 1 April 1997. / Musicology / M.Mus.

University autonomy and academic freedom in South AfricaDlamini, C. R. M. 11 1900 (has links)
Throughout the history of universities, university autonomy
and academic freedom have come ~o be regardeci as indispensable
if the university has to fulfill its function of generating
and disseminating knowledge and information for the benefit of
society. Al though these are often conflated, they are
distinguishable though interdependent. Autonomy relates to
the self-governance of the university without external
interference. Academic freedom entails the freedom of an
individual academic to hold whatever views, orthodox or
unorthodox, without censure or other penalty.
critical inquiry.
It also entails
Although academic autonomy and freedom are critical to the
academic function, they are not beyond dispute. There is
always a continuous debate on what are the proper boundaries
of legitimate academic autonomy and freedom. These boundaries
are not fixed and keep on shifting. The shifting is often
caused by government intervention into university education by
way of subsidising it.
As a quid pro quo for subsidizing university education, the
government often feels entitled to stipulate conditions for
the granting of such subsidies. Various governments follow
different ways of doing this. There is a general trend in
terms of which the government is defining the degree of
academic autonomy. With autonomy it emphasizes accountability
and with academic freedom it emphasizes responsibility. These
are not mutually in conflict.
iii
Al though universities cherish their autonomy and academic
freedom, these are always subject to threat. These cannot
flourish in an authoritarian culture, but can only thrive in a
democratic culture where other civil liberties are respected.
The reason for this is that human freedom is indivisible and
academic freedom cannot survive when other rights ar-e
violated.
The South African Constitution protects academic freedom.
This is not generally done in most constitutions of the world.
The reason why the South African Cons ti tut ion expressly
protects academic freedom is because academic autonomy and
freedom were severely violated in the past. Al though the
protection of academic freedom in the Constitution does not
provide indefeasible security, it makes the way of a
transgressing government difficult. This is important because
even a democratic government can violate academic freedom. / Constitutional, International & Indigenous Law / LL.D. (Constitutional, International & Indigenous Law)

The Berlin Mission Church in Cape Town 1899-1923Karzek, Thomas 11 1900 (has links)
The study describes the formation and the establishment
of the first urban congregation of the Berlin Mission in
the Cape at the turn of the century. The establishment of
the Cape Town Congregation was not a result of urban
mission work but rather a result of the townward movement
of rural coloured people who already belonged to the
Berlin Mission Church. At first the mission headquarters
in Berlin resisted an involvement in Cape Town, but the
members there and the missionaries of the Cape Synod
urged the Berl in Mission to accept the responsibility.
Fol lowing the advice of the Moravian Mission the
Berliners finally sent a missionary, and declared the
congregation as a proper mission station on May 7, 1907.
The study closes with the consecration of the church
building in Searle Street in 1923 as a visible sign for
the establishment of the Berlin Mission Church in Cape
Town. / Christian Spirituality, Church History & Missiology / M. Th. (Missiology)

The 1978 Methodist Schism in Transkei : a missiological analysisLungu, Maxwell Themba. 11 1900 (has links)
In 1977 the Annual Conference of the Methodist Church of South Africa (MCSA) decided to
discontinue its practice of sending messages of goodwill to the Heads of State of the Southern
African region (including Transkei). The Prime Minister ofTranskei interpreted this resolution
as implying the non-recognition ofTranskeian political independence, obtained from the Republic
of South Africa in 1976, and expressed his intention to ban the MCSA in Transkei and replace it
by the Methodist Church of Transkei (MCT)
The thesis presents, in narrative form (Chapter 2), a detailed description of the process of
the schism ( 12 January 1978 to 2 June 1978). Chapter 3 analyses the political and ecclesial
context of the schism comprehensively by examining three main issues: the Methodist tradition
in the Eastern Cape and Transkei, the Methodist tradition of pledging loyalty to the Head of State
and the emergence of Transkei as a geo-political state.
Chapter 4 focuses on the reaction of the Transkeian Methodists to the dispute between
the Transkeian Government and the MCSA. The loyalties which influenced their reaction are
identified and analysed. In this study the whole process of the schism is seen as an interplay
between and clash of different loyalties.
Chapter 5 reviews the different models and typologies used to explain and interpret the
African Independent/Initiated Church movement. The aim is to identify the elements in these
models which are relevant for an understanding of this schism.
Chapter 6 concludes the study by considering five areas of missiological importance
highlighted by the 1978 Methodist schism in Transkei, namely: ( 1) the research questions, (2)
mission and unity, (3) mission and ethnic issues, (4) prophetic mission, and (5) prophetic
ambivalence. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D.Th. (Missiology)
