MA.CRM / Department of Criminal Justice / The policing response to increasing violent community violent protests in South Africa
has received global attention in the last decade. The study was conducted with a
backdrop of increased concern over skirmish and sporadic fighting and violence during
service delivery protests. Criticisms have been voiced by various role-players in violent
protests concerning arrests, injuries and killing of civilians by police during these
demonstrations. Hence the study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of POP strategies
in curbing common acts of violence during violent protests particularly in Vuwani area
of Vhembe District, Limpopo Province. The study adopted a mixed methods
(qualitative and quantitative method). Purposive sampling was used to select POP
officials wherein Focus Group Discussions (FGD) were conducted in 9 difference POP
units, each FGD was comprised of approximately 5 members which total to 45 POP
members. A total of 200 questionnaires were randomly distributed to community
members of Vuwani within 5 were found invalid. Quantitative Data was analysed using
Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) and qualitative data was analysed using
thematic analysis. The findings indicated that (86,2%) of participants believed that
Vuwani protest was caused by municipal demarcation issues. The favourite methods
of protests include littering with (80,0 %) and burning tyres with (76,4%) of
participants. A total of (52,8%) community members argued that police presence
perpetuate violence during service delivery protest. Common crimes that occurred
during the protests was vandalism with (82,6%) and arson with (81,0%). Furthermore,
(83,6%) community members agrees that rubber bullets was used as a strategy by
the police at Vuwani protests. The overwhelming majority of participants with 80,0%
believe that negotiation during protests can curb death and injuries. On the other hand,
the study finds that POP official strategies start by negotiating with the protestors,
identifying the leader, use of water cannon, tear gas and rubber bullets as the last
resort. Further emphasized that lack of manpower and resources are barriers that
hinders effective policing of violent service delivery protests. It is therefore
recommended that provision of resource and recruitment of manpower should be
taken as a first priority by the SAPS national office. Lastly, the public should be
educated about police presence during violent service delivery protests. / NRF

Revisiting the connection between masculinites and gender-based violence: The Case of Thulamela Municipality, Vhembe District, Limpopo ProvinceLuthada, Ntshengedzeni Victor 18 May 2018 (has links)
MGS / Institute for Gender and Youth Studies / Masculinity forms are identified as forms that perpetuate gender-based violence. This study analyzed and challenged the entire cultural and patriarchal attributes that constructively create current male roles and identities that play a significant part in gender discrimination and oppression around the world. The way masculinities shape gender role stereotypes have left a legacy whereby women are disadvantaged in relation to men. Masculinities continue to define power dynamics between men and women. Women have less access to resources, benefits, information and are also denied access to decision making processes, both within and beyond household realms. The major objective of the study is to explore the connection between masculinity and gender-based violence. This study described the importance of using Participatory Action Research Design and the use of qualitative methodological process which is followed by the study’s location and population, sampling and data collection methods. The researcher explains the reasons for using qualitative methods for both data collection and analysis. Face to face semi structured interviews was used as data collection instruments with open-ended questions. Purposive and snowball sampling were adopted with a total of 10 research participants including both women and men (young and old). Furthermore, this study explored the researcher’s reflexivity or positionality, and epistemic privilege. This study also outlined the ethical issues that have been taken into consideration which include informed consent, confidentiality, and privacy. Data was analyzed thematically by identifying and expanding significant themes that emerged from respondents’ responses. The findings of this study entail that unemployment and alcohol abuse are among the factors that lead to gender-based violence. The findings had it that cultural practices such as polygamy in families, initiation schools, media are among models of masculinities that had imparted the notion or belief that a man is a provider, decision-maker, and head of the family and no other member of the family should contest that responsibility. This study concludes that the cultural and social norms socialize males to be aggressive, powerful, unemotional and controlling and contribute to a social acceptance of men as dominant. Lastly, this study also looked at the limitations of the study as well as the conclusion. This study recommended that both men and women should collectively diagnose masculine relationships that are borne out of the system of patriarchy, to usher in a non- sexist society devoid of gender discrimination. / NRF
