M.Tech. Business Administration. Business School. / Although the civil war in Mozambique ended in the early 1990s, people living in the urban parts of Maputo City in Mozambique routinely travel to South Africa in order to do routine shopping. A study was conducted based on a random sample of 250 respondents in order to identify key factors that motivate residents of Maputo to do shopping in South African cities. Results obtained from factor analysis showed that people living in the urban parts of Maputo City in Mozambique were motivated by 8 factors to travel to South Africa for shopping. These 8 factors were: The provision of courtesy to customers ; Availability of vast information on latest products ; Relaxing shopping environment ; The provision of suitable packing materials for goods ; Competency of staff working in South African shopping malls ; Guaranteed confidentiality ; Good reputation of South African service providers ; The ability to return goods to suppliers within the warranty period.

Recent feminist theorists have suggested that the flaneur---a key trope of modernity---had a sister figure who, if not equally on par in importance, figured significantly within the changing modern landscape. The 'flaneuse' also gazed upon the spectacle of urban life, only she did so from the vantage point of the consumer dream-land that was the department store. But how useful is this trope of the flaneuse and what are its, or more specifically, her limitations, particularly within her popular construct as the consumer-observer? This paper explores the concept of the flaneuse, challenges her definition as consumer and questions the usefulness of this metaphor, particularly as it relates to the original construct of the flaneur. This paper is a review of the writing on the flaneuse as well as an exercise in deconstructing one of her likenesses. I argue that the consuming- flaneuse is at odds with the entire premise of flanerie . In the translation from flaneur to flaneuse, the physical similarities may have been accounted for but the ideology of flanerie---what makes the flaneur such a powerful metaphor---has been lost. I suggest, therefore, that a new image of modernity needs to be found for women, one that provides a more balanced perspective of women's experiences and that takes women out of the very limited arenas of consumption.
