Masters in Public Administration - MPA / This study looked at socio-economic and political constraints on constitutional reform in Swaziland, an independent state with a fully autonomous government that falls under the Monarch who is Head of State. Swaziland maintains strong economic and trading links with South Africa and also maintains such ties with other states, especially in the Southern African Development Community region. Up untill 1973, the country's constitution was Westminister based. This was evoked and replaced with a system designed to facilitate the practice of both western and traditional styles of government. This system incorporated the system known as Tinkhundla and provides for the people to elect candidates to be their parliamentary representatives for specific constituencies. / South Africa

M.Cur. / A study on promotion strategies for voluntary surgical contraception in Family Planning Clinic of Swaziland. There is under-utilization of voluntary surgical contraception in Family Planning Clinic of Swaziland. The clinic started to operate in 1995 up to date, there are only 88 clients who had been operated on. The aim of this study is to explore and describe factors, which contribute to client satisfaction with this method, so that promotion strategies will be developed to increase the demand. Purposive sampling, which is a probability method was utilized to select the sample. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect the data from 10 participants - five males and five females. The researcher discovered that participants are satisfied with voluntary surgical contraception. The reasons for their satisfaction are because of the good counseling, benefits, positive attitude of the service provider and technical competence of the doctor. Information, education, communication and promotion strategies were then developed based on the themes identified. The information, education and communication strategy is given by satisfied clients in terms of interpersonal communication, mass media and also advocating strategy.

Doctor Educationis / Say it in siSwati is a practical course manual for beginners. It is intended to be used in conjunction with a series of language laboratory tapes, either for individual or group instruction; but could also be used independently, preferably with the aid of a siSwati speaker. The main aim has been to introduce all the principal structures and to present these in terms of familiar objects .and everyday situations as far as possible. Starting from a selected basic vocabulary, the drills concentrate ~~ fitting words together effectively and fluently, and the stock of words is gradually expanded. Appendices provide extra phonological and grammatical information if required, and a repertoire of traditional songs, followed by a glossary. The course represents a revised and expanded version of a siSwati Language Manual ·devised in 1972 for teaching British volunteers who were going out to Swaziland to undertake projects for Voluntary Service Overseas., and International Voluntary Service. Grateful acknowledgement is due, particularly, to Mrs. Gladys Mkhonta and Mr. A.B. Ngcobo who gave valuable assistance in the preparation of scripts and drills, and also to Messrs. Titus Ngubeni, Reuben Zondi, Derek Hlanze, Edward Dlamini, Nicholas Dlamini, Reginald Dladla, Clifford Magongo and Miss Jane Maseko, whose voices are recorded on the tapes. fundamentally, preparation of the manual would not have been possible at all without the generosity of the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, in sponsoring the necessary linguistic and musical field research.

Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Masters Degree in Information Studies, Department of Library & Information Studies, University of Zululand, South Africa, 2011. / The aim of this study was to investigate records management practices in government ministries in the Kingdom of Swaziland. The study sought to determine how records are generated, used and disposed of in the government ministries; the types of records that are generated within the Swaziland government; how the records are organized and retrieved; the training needs of the Swaziland government’s registry staff; the attitude of staff towards records management practices; the level of staff awareness sound records management practices; the suitability of records storage facilities; and the challenges of e-records management in the government of Swaziland. A mixed method research paradigm consisting of a survey and observation was used to carry out the study. The target population consisted of action officers and records officers (registry staff) from government ministries in Swaziland. 92 action officers and 29 registry staff were involved in the study. 31 of the action officers were from top management, 31 from middle management, and 30 from lower level management. The results revealed that government ministries in Swaziland do not practice sound records management in line with the Swaziland National Archives Act (No. 5 of 1971). There was no uniformity with respect to filing methods and the manner in which records were destroyed or deleted. There were no control measures for ensuring the care and safe custody of records. Electronic records management policy, filing procedure manuals and a disaster recovery plan did not exist at the time of writing. The lack of records management practices directly and indirectly affects the information flow within the ministries. It is expected that the findings of this study will inform policy on records management in the government of Swaziland; facilitate effective records management in the government; create awareness about sound records management; help inform a records management training plan; and help establish integrity and transparency in the functioning of government. The study recommends that research should be extended to parastatal organisations in Swaziland to ensure that the management of records, both in the government and the public sector, is harmonized to enhance service delivery, accountability and transparency in the management of the country’s public affairs.

Tensions between the individual rights and freedoms found in constitutional bills of rights and the traditionally prescribed social roles and positions articulated in African customary law systems have often been characterised as tensions between communitarian and liberal philosophies. In particular, the notion of gender equality, which is often a feature of the protections offered by constitutional bills of rights, is seen to be in direct opposition to the overtly patriarchal character of many African customs and traditions. This thesis looks specifically at polygamy, long and widely considered in the West to be an oppressive practice premised on the assumed inferiority of women. The analysis considers the implications of polygamy in a particular cultural context, that of the Kingdom of Swaziland, where the newly instituted constitution is often seen to be incompatible with many aspects of Swazi customary law. Here, the tension between the constitutional commitment to gender equality and the persistence of polygamy as a seemingly discriminatory cultural practice forms a lens through which to view the debate as a whole. The theoretical analysis is supplemented by empirical research sourced from local media archives and in-depth interviews conducted with twelve Swazi women, both unmarried and married in polygamous relationships. Communitarian and liberal approaches to resolving this tension are compared, contrasted and finally critiqued from a feminist standpoint. The feminist critique of both communitarianism and liberalism implies that neither ideology promises much for women and affirms the relatively recent feminist suggestion that the key to resolving tensions between constitutional and customary law in general, and to uplifting the social/legal status of women in particular lies in the enhancement of women’s democratic participation and the improvement of women’s decision-making powers.
