- Description: There are two main co-operative activities that are supported by NUMSA. The one is SAWCO in Natal and the other is the project that is starting here in the East Cape. Does NUMSA have a policy on co-operatives? NUMSA in its Central Committee has taken a decision to support co-ops. But NUMSA is still busy thinking of how we can formulate a policy on co-operatives. We are working towards such a policy. So what is NUMSA's aim in giving support to co-ops? In other words, how can organised workers benefit from the support that NUMSA is giving to these co-op activities?.

Currently Activate is committed to informing Rhodes University students, staff and community members about relevant issues, mainly on campus. These issues range from hard news to more creative journalism. While Activate acts as a news source, one of its main objectives it to be accessible as a training ground for student journalists. The newspaper is run entirely by the students and is published twice a term. Activate is a free newspaper which receives an annual grant from the Rhodes University Student Representative Council, however, majority of its revenue is generated through advertising.

- Description: Detention without trial can be a formidable government weapon against political opponents. In South Africa this weapon has been fashioned into a multiple warhead. There are currently seven security law detention provisions on the statute book, of which one is dormant but can be activated by the State President. Non security law detention, for example detention under drug laws, will not be discussed in this paper. While the seven detention laws are of varying severity and serve different purposes, they are best classified and explained under two main categories or groups - preventive detention and pre-trial detention.

- Language: Afrikaans
- Type: Thesis , Masters , MA
- Identifier: vital:3572 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1002095 , Breytenbach, Breyten -- Criticism and interpretation
- Description: The thesis provides an interpretation of the poem ʺ(Taalstryd)ʺ (Lewendood, p.143) by employing deconstruction theory, particularly as it has been developed by Jacques Derrida. The main assumption is that the text is not a self-sufficient entity, but finds itself in a continually changing relationship with other texts, a relationship described by deconstructionists as intertextuality. This relationship, as it has been described by Julia Kristeva, does not only involve literary works, but also the world-as- text. In chapter one this point of view is illustrated in a discussion around the title of the poem. It is postulated that the title is not a neutral description of a period in the history of the development of the Afrikaans language. Rather, it represents an ideological concept which can be interpreted in various ways. The poem clearly lends itself to an interpretation of "the struggle for the Taal" as a struggle which has manifested itself in many different areas and historical periods within the South African context. In chapter two the discussion of the relationship between language, history and ideology is continued. It is shown how the ʺofficialʺ history represents a one-sided view of Afrikaans as a ʺEuropeanʺ language, greatly ignoring its African component. This representation relies on a logocentric approach to the relationship between language and writing. Breytenbach's poetry, like the writings of Derrida, can be regarded as a "deconstruction" of this approach. The ʺdisseminationʺ of meaning in ʺ(Taalstryd)ʺ is illustrated in terms of the poem's intertextual relationship with Breytenbachʾs ʺPlease don't feed the animalsʺ and Krigeʾs ʺLied van die Fascistiese bomwerpersʺ. Chapter three sets ʺ(Taalstryd)ʺ within the current debate surrounding Afrikaner survival. It is shown how the Afrikaner power base has been established and strengthened by way of legislation, the system of Christian National Education, as well as the creation of a nationalist-orientated history. This power base is currently in a state of crisis, in which different political groupings are continuing the ʺ(Taalstryd)ʺ

A comparison of the self-esteem of black and white high school pupils

- Description: This study investigated the level of self-esteem of black and white high-school students using the Rosenberg self-esteem scale. One hundred and eighty six subjects were used, 63 of them being white while 118 were black. A validation of the Rosenberg scale for the black sample was attempted using a correlation between the scale score and a rating of the subjects by teachers. The results of the study showed no significant difference between the self-esteem levels, while the validation study failed to confirm the validity of the test for black subjects in South Africa. However, the validation study v/as rejected as inconclusive and the results of the comparison accepted as confirmatory of previous research. An incidental positive finding revealed that white males have higher self-esteem than white females,. The theory and past research of self-esteem comparisons between racial groups is reviewed. The conclusion is reached in this study that the concept of self-esteem has outlasted its usefulness in the field of comparisons between racial groups and research of a qualitative nature .can provide further data for the understanding of differences between racial groups. , Thesis (MA) -- Faculty of Humanities, Psychology, 1988

However, the validation study v/as rejected as inconclusive and the results of the comparison accepted as confirmatory of previous research. An incidental positive finding revealed that white males have higher self-esteem than white females,. The theory and past research of self-esteem comparisons between racial groups is reviewed. The conclusion is reached in this study that the concept of self-esteem has outlasted its usefulness in the field of comparisons between racial groups and research of a qualitative nature .can provide further data for the understanding of differences between racial groups. , Thesis (MA) -- Faculty of Humanities, Psychology, 1988

- Description: The intensive tank culture of ornamental mouthbrooding cichlids poses several problems which limit their aquaculture potential. This project addressed some of these problems for Aulonocara baenschi. The production of juveniles in 2501 aquaria was accelerated when: a) aquaria were equipped with refuges, b) females of less than 70mm in standard length were used as broodstock, c) mouthbrooding females were replaced with gravid females at seven day intervals, and d) embryos were removed from the mouths of females at replacement times for artificial incubation. Two sex ratios also accelerated juvenile production. The sex ratio (male:females) 1:30 yielded the highest spawning returns per tank, and therefore represented the most effective utilization of aquarium space (a critical consideration for the small-scale culturist). Contrastingly, the sex ratio 1:12 yielded the highest clutch sizes and a high percentage female spawning return, and therefore represented the most effective utilization of broodstock (an important consideration for culturists inhibited by financial constraints or having an abundance of culture vessels). The reproductive behaviour of A. baenschi was described. Emphasis was given to aspects of reproduction of relevance to culture, for example; spawning times and seasons, clutch size and its relationship with female size, age and size of sexes at first spawning, embryo development rate and size of first swimming juveniles. The slow growth rate of juveniles, combined with a late attainment of marketable size (± seven months) was a major limitation affecting the cuIture potential of A. baenschi. Two factors favouring the cuIture of this species was the high survival rate recorded for both adults and juveniles, and the comparatively high prices fetched by fish on domestic wholesale markets (R4,00 per fish). It is recommended that A. baenschi should not be cultured exclusively for the relatively small South African ornamental fish market. A more profitable strategy for domestic culturists should involve a major production effort with A. baenschi and other desirable species of Aulonocara (e.g . A. ethelwynnae; A. hansbaenschi; A. stuartgranti & A. maylandi) for foreign markets (in particular, the U.S.A.; Western Europe & Japan). Not only are these markets massive, but prevailing exchange rates of the Rand with these currencies favour such a strategy.
