Die rol van die ontbrekende vaderfiguur in die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks : 'n prakties-teologiese studie / Fazel Ebrihiam FreeksFreeks, Fazel Ebrihiam January 2004 (has links)
The aim of this study was to do research to see whether the father is absent
in the South African context and design a practical theory for possible use by
a Biblical counsellor to help fathers that can't fulfil their role properly in the
family.
The role of the father can again be restored through Biblical counselling.
This study is done on the basis of the following :
a basic theory is set out on which Scriptural perspectives on the
subject have been researched;
a meta theoretical evaluation is obtained from the three disciplines -
Sociology, Psychology and Social Work;
empirical research by means of interviews and questionnaires.
The empirical research indicated that sampling among women proved that
they experience and live through the absent role of the father. According to
the questionnaires and interviews it was remarkable that all eight women
longed for Biblical counselling.
The study further indicates that Scriptural perspectives show how the role of
the father must be according to the original Fatherhood of God. Scripture use
and prayer are the basis to set practical theoretical perspectives, specific as
well as in general, in connection with the absent father figure. The Biblical
counsellor, leader, minister and pastor can possibly use the guidelines to
explain and set out the role of the father.
The greatest responsibility the father carries in his family is the portrayal and
modelling of Jesus Christ's attributes and example.
The conclusion of this study is that the Fatherhood of God makes it possible
for the father to fulfil his role and function within the family and live it out in
the community.
The father cannot be separated from the family, because the relationship
wherein the father, mother and child stand, is indissoluble. / The aim of this study was to do research to see whether the father is absent

Experiences of women in the platinum mining industry / Pearl Louise CalitzCalitz, Pearl Louise January 2004 (has links)
The South African mining industry has been a male dominated environment for a very
long time. With changes in government policy and legislation, discriminatory laws
forbidding women to work underground have been repealed and the mining industry have
since been trying to accommodate women. Unfortunately there is an imbalance to this
general trend of increase shown by the consistently low numbers of female employees
within the mining industry. It was far-fetched for management to perceive that women
can ever play a role in the underground mining industry. Unfortunately the perceptions of
management is having an enormous impact on the attitudes of the rest of the employees
in this industry. This leads to discrimination in the mining industry that will make it
difficult for the women seeking financial stability. The whole mining industry should
learn to adapt to this idea of women in mining. Employing women in the mine is a
challenge of the mindset of viewing mining as a men's world.
The objective of this research was to determine the experience of women in the platinum
mining industry in South Africa as well as the impact that women entering the mining
industry could have on the mines in terms of the working conditions, harassment,
physiological aspects, ergonomics, physical strength, discrimination etc.
The research method for this article consists of a brief literature review and an empirical
study. A qualitative design has been used on an availability sample (N = 14) females in
the platinum mining industry. The qualitative research makes it possible to determine the
subjective experience of women working in the platinum mining industry. The literature
focused on previous research on the experience of women entering the mining industry as
an employee.
vii
The outcome of this research was that the male worker attitude and discrimination have
an enormous impact on women that are entering the mining industry. One of the more
difficult hurdles to overcome is the harassment that women need to deal with The
women are also facing a huge challenge in terms of their physical strength not being
adequate in order to perform up to a minimum of eight hours per day in the harsh
working conditions including the ergonomics of the mining industry. Most of the women
are entering the mining industry for financial reasons in order to survive in the South
f i c a n Economic environment of today. After a hard day performing these physical
activities they need to face their responsibilities at home in order to manage a work-home
life balance. Management need to start seeking solutions to make the mining industry a
more women free environment for example focussing on facilities for women. The fact
that women were appointed into the mining environment covering traditionally male
sectors, also speaks to a commitment to changing the face of the mining industry.
Recommendations for future research were made. / Thesis (M.A. (Industrial Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2005.

'n Evaluasie van die substansafhanklikheids-program van die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens / deur Marina du PlooyDu Plooy, Marina January 2004 (has links)
Background:
As result of the restructuring of the South African Police Services during 1994 as well as other
factors, Police Social Work Services decided to shift the focus from reactive services to more
proactive, personnel capacity building programmes. At the end of 1999 , 15 of these programmes
were already developed. Although basic evaluation instruments were included in some of the
programme packages, the need arose to determine either the effect of the programmes on the
participants or the cost-efficiency of the interventions scientifically. This led to the launch of the
PCBP project and the Evaluation of the Substance Dependency study in November 2001. This
form part of the evaluation of the comprehensive personnel capacity building research project.
Objectives:
The primary aim of the study was to determine the effect of the Substance Dependency
Programme on SAPS personnel's knowledge, attitude and behaviour.
Method:
In the research, the comparison group pre-test and post-test design and triangulation were used. Six
measurement scales and a presenter's evaluation questionnaire were developed and completed by
217 experimental group respondents, 47 comparison group respondents and 10 presenters.
Results:
Through the triangulation of measurement it was determined that the Substance Dependence
Programme had a practical significant effect on the respondent's knowledge, attitude and behaviour.
It is thus an effective tool in the hand of Police Social Work Services, that empower police
members and lead to productivity and enhanced their personal well-being. / Thesis (M.A. (MW))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2005.

19th Century Tragedy, Victory, and Divine Providence as the Foundations of an Afrikaner National IdentityHudson, Kevin W 07 May 2011 (has links)
Apart from a sense of racial superiority, which was certainly not unique to white Cape colonists, what is clear is that at the turn of the nineteenth century, Afrikaners were a disparate group. Economically, geographically, educationally, and religiously they were by no means united. Hierarchies existed throughout all cross sections of society. There was little political consciousness and no sense of a nation. Yet by the end of the nineteenth century they had developed a distinct sense of nationalism, indeed of a volk [people; ethnicity] ordained by God. The objective of this thesis is to identify and analyze three key historical events, the emotional sentiments evoked by these nationalistic milestones, and the evolution of a unified Afrikaner identity that would ultimately be used to justify the abhorrent system of apartheid.

Taking back the promised land : farm attacks in recent South African literatureMoth, Laura Eisabel. January 2006 (has links)
The phenomenon of the farm attack has engendered an angry debate in South Africa today. Controversially, the South African media has paid great attention to violence against white farmers amidst a seemingly endless flood of violence against black farm workers. The now commonplace tales of farm attacks incite racial tension and provoke paranoia, leading one to question why they are repeated at all. Recent works by South African authors have engaged this question, including Jonny Steinberg's Midlands (2002), J. M. Coetzee's Disgrace (1999), and Breyten Breytenbach's Dog Heart (1998). Critics have accused these works of perpetuating racism with their grim depictions of black-on-white violence but have failed to recognize the manner in which these authors contextualize the violence. I argue that each work registers the farm attack as a land claim, made in an era of failed land reform. Furthermore, these works reflexively explore the pragmatics of circulating the stories.

African Traditional Culture and modernity in Zakes Mda's The heart of redness.Birama, Prosper Ndayi. January 2008 (has links)

I suggest that both modernity and tradition interact to produce a hybrid culture. This will become apparent in my analysis of the way Mda depicts the cattlekilling episode and the effects of Nongqawuse&rsquo / s prophecy, and also in the novel&rsquo / s contemporary characters. Mda shows the development of an African modernity through the semi-autobiographical figure of Camagu who is not slavishly indebted to Western ideas of progress, but is a hybrid of African values and a modern identity.</font></font></i></p>

The lived experience of being privileged as a white English-speaking young adult in post-apartheid South Africa: a phenomenological study.Truscott, Ross Brian. January 2007 (has links)
<p>Although transformation processes are making progress in addressing racial inequality in post-apartheid South Africa, white South Africans are, in many repects, still privileged, economically, in terms of access to services, land, education and particularly in the case of English-speaking whites, language. This study is an exploration of everyday situations of inequality as they have been experienced from a position of advantage. As a qualitative, phenomenological study, the aim was to derive the psychological essence of the experience of being privileged as white English-speaking young adult within the context of post-apartheid South African everyday life.</p>

Then and Now: Activism in Manenberg, 1980 to 2010Jacobs, Julian A January 2010 (has links)
<p>The study analysed the politics of resistance in Manenberg placing it within the over arching mass defiance campaign in Greater Cape Town at the time and comparing the strategies used to mobilize residents in Manenberg in the 1980s to strategies used in the period of the 2000s. The thesis also focused on several key figures in Manenberg with a view to understanding what local conditions inspired them to activism. The use of biographies brought about a synoptic view into activists lives, their living conditions, their experiences of the apartheid regime, their brutal experience of apartheid and their resistance and strength against a system that was prepared to keep people on the outside. This study found that local living conditions motivated activism and became grounds for mobilising residents to make Manenberg a site of resistance. It was easy to mobilise residents on issues around rent increases, lack of resources, infrastructure and proper housing.</p>

Experiences of the University of the Western Cape student nurses who sustain needle-stick injuries during their clinical placementNaidoo, Mogasweri January 2010 (has links)
<p>In this study a qualitative phenomenological approach was used because the researcher identified it as the most appropriate method to do this study. The population under study was the student nurses studying towards their BCur nursing degree at the SoN at the UWC. A purposive sample consisting of 8 respondents were selected, aged between 19 and 32. The data were collected through unstructured, in-depth interviews lasting for about 1 hour. The responses from this type of data collection provided the researcher with ÌÌrichÌÌ details of the student nurses experiences of the needle-stick injury. The core principles of Phenomenology focus on the ÌÌlivedÌÌ experiences of an individual and the researcher chose the unstructured, in-depth interview to collect the data in this study because it was the most appropriate method of obtaining the data. Participation in the study was voluntary and informed consent was obtained from the respondents prior to the commencement of the study. An inductive theory was used as a framework to guide the data analysis process because through the process of analysing the data, categories and themes emerge. Findings from the study revealed the following: a needle-stick injury is considered to be a traumatic incident that students react in various ways to the traumatic incident, that several intervening factors precede the incident and lastly that the students need support following the incident.</p>
