- Description: Facilitator introduces him/herself first and the organisation, Turp. Just a brief background of Turp (very brief even if the group is familiar with this). You choose how you want to introduce yourself. You could want to give a bit of a background about yourself. I will have a separate illustration on newsprint, showing what I have done since birth up to now! One could recite that if they like. Group introduction: I propose a game be played, that will have everybody participating. The game is a "picnic game". You say to them we are a happy group who have just decided to go out on a picnic. So each and everyone of us has something to share with us all at the picnic. This must start with the first letter of your name. You (as facilitator) start by saying "for this event I will bring Aloe juice, for keeping healthy skins, because my name is Alfred". The next cde then say the same thing starting from me, the next also saying the same thing, until the last one. Then to see if you can still remember what they said you say it all. Rules: Cdes are not allowed to write down anything here, you could be helped with names and items forgotten during the game. Take a minute discussing how they felt about the whole exercise? You can mention the objectives of the w/shop at this stage from your understanding of the brief. You may say something about the participatory approach used in designing and presentation of this w/shop (methods used in Turp) as we believe that cdes have gone through a lot of experiences in their worklife and know the subject.

- Description: Workers have struggled for many years for a new Labour Relations Act. We have suffered under the apartheid L.R.A, Bosses were able to dismiss us, pay starvation wages, call the police to beat us up when we struggled for our rights, and make super profits from our labour. With democracy, we expect an end to this slavery and exploitation. We called for a new L.R.A., for a workers L.R.A. Over the past month, we have negotiated with a view of reaching consensus on our key demands. Instead, we have found from the business community, a series of delaying tactics. They have tried to limit the gains we could make for workers. They have tried to protect their management power. They have resisted the development of proper trade union rights. We tender this memorandum to advise that our members are angry. We want rights now! We call on business to endorse basic workers and trade union rights.

- Description: The Fourth National Conference of the APDUSA, held in Ezibeleni, Queenstown on 15/16 April 1995, must be marked as one of the most significant events in the history of the organisation. Taking place one year after the establishment of a new political order in South Africa, it was a pertinent time to assess its import in the face of the critical problems that still beset the nation. The achievement of the universal franchise, after long years of bitter struggle, has indeed been a signal victory for the labouring masses of South Africa. But it is a victory that has brought no improvement in the socio-economic conditions of their existence. Still suffering on the anvil of oppression and exploitation, the millions of workers and land-starved peasants are fast losing faith in the ability of the new Government of National Unity to solve their problems. The struggle for liberation has thus entered a new phase. But the oppressed are also faced with a crisis of leadership. Their organisations of struggle are in disarray, with many of those who formerly occupied leading positions, having departed to take up positions in the institutions of government. In this situation, the task of mapping out the programmatic basis of the future course of their struggle, is one of utmost importance. These are the questions that commanded the attention of the APDUSA conference. Against the background, it is fitting that the large majority of those participating in the conference were members of the new generation. Theirs was a major contribution. After a thorough assessment of the new needs of the struggle, conference resolved to redefine and sharpen the political programme of the APDUSA. In so doing, it remains governed by its commitment to the interests of the workers and the landless peasantry in both its short term and long term objectives.

Tectonic and structural aspects at the Otjihase Mine, Matchless Belt, Namibia: A Systematic Review

- Description: The Otjihase pyritic massive sulphide deposit occurs within a 10km thick metasedimentary sequence of the Kuiseb Formation. The Kuiseb metasediments were deposited within the Khomas Trough, which forms the southernmost rift of the intracontinental arm of the Damara orogen. Amphibolite units of the Matchless member at Otjihase have a MORB-type geochemical character and occur within the Kuiseb schists, about 200m above the ore zone. The Otjihase mine is the largest of many Besshi-type deposits that occur in close proximity to the Matchless amphibolites. A depositional environment in a rift, slightly more advanced than the present-day Red Sea is envisaged. The five parallel, ruler-shaped, mineralised shoots at Otjihase occur on the same stratigraphic level. They have a plunge of approximately 6° to the west and a dip of approximately 16° to the northwest. The largest and best mineralised, is the northernmost shoot (the Main Shoot) which is ±250m wide, up to 12m thick and has a known length of 7,5km. The large length/breadth ratio is ascribed to the original setting along faults and thickening of the ore zone during thrusting. Intense ductile deformation has affected the ore bodies, with isoclinal refolding, boudinaging, duplexes of more competent bands and smearing of the schists. Squeezing and remobilisation of the sulphides into the schistosity and low pressure pods has taken place. Successive folding and thrusting during the D2 deformational event resulted in the dominant structural style. Fold axes of drag folds plot onto a great circle in stereographic projection, indicating the formation of sheath folds. The axial planar cleavages of competent layers is steeper than the S(0,1) foliation and suggests a structural right way-up. The presence of chloritic alteration above the ore shoots, is suggestive of footwall alteration indicating that the sequence was overturned during the D1 deformational event. Ore zone lithologies include stringery-, massive- and semi-massive sulphides, mineralised magnetite- quartzites and disseminated sulphide mineralisation within quartz-biotite-chlorite schists. Chalcopyrite is the main economic mineral and mainly occurs as matrix to pyrite and in coarse-grained pods. Lithological and metal zoning within the Main Shoot is distinct and is an indication that the macroscopic shape of the orebody is largely unaffected by later ductile deformation. North-south trending normal faults of the Windhoek Graben have disrupted the continuity of the ore shoots. In section, the faults appear to have a listric shape. The major faults have pronounced scissor movements and as a result the dips of the blocks within fault zones are affected. , Thesis (MSc) -- Faculty of Science, Exploration Geology, 2021

- Description: The inauguration of the Government of National Unity created the necessary conditions for us to start the challenging task of changing South African society for the better. This is what we had set ourselves to do during the years of struggle to rid our country of apartheid. Now South Africans can, under conditions of freedom, work together to make our country the land of our dreams. This means further enhancing the freedoms we now enjoy; improving the security of citizens at home, in the streets and at work; and raising the quality of life of all the people. Reconstruction and development means all these things: to change all aspects of our lives for the better. Among the urgent tasks the government has set itself is to work together with all citizens to improve the provision of education, health services, housing, water supply, land, electricity, refuse removal, roads and so on. This demands of government that we change the manner in which public funds have all along been used. Everything should be done to create conditions in which the economy can improve and provide more jobs. To realise all these objectives requires co-operation among us as hard-working and responsible citizens. Immediately the Government of National Unity was installed, we started the planning required to meet these goals. At the same time, we also launched Presidential Lead Projects aimed at improving the lives of especially the poor, women and children. But this was just the beginning. For, in the end, we should change the allocation of all public funds towards the new priorities. Government should involve the people more actively at all stages of reconstruction and development. We should operate in an open manner guided by the wisdom of the people themselves. From the projects started last year, many of these ideals have started to take shape. But we continue to learn many lessons. This booklet outlines the concrete steps that have been taken thus far, in the long journey towards a better life for all. As this account shows, this task is not an easy one. But, working together, in the spirit of Masakhane, South Africans are more than capable of realising the good things that our beautiful country can offer.

- Description: The Third SADTU Congress, held at the World Trade Centre in Kempton Park, was attended by over 800 delegates, representing 100 000 teachers country-wide. Delegates were elected at Branch level, ensuring grass roots participation in the highest decision making body of the Union. The Congress served to confirm SADTU’s position as the largest teacher Union in the country, and demonstrated a strongly unified focus around the theme: “Unionise and Reconstruct for Teacher Empowerment”. The success of any Congress must be measured against the aims it sets itself. Our Congress had two aims: to elect new leadership for the next two years, and to adopt resolutions which would inform the direction and programmes of the Union in this period. While we successfully completed the former task, we could only make a start on the second aspect - confirming the fact that the period we are entering is far more complex than before, and in need of extensive analysis and debate. We therefore mandated the SADTU National Council to formalise the adoption of resolutions arising from the reports. A Special National Council was convened on 25/26 August, with extended participation by regions, and the Congress report can now be finalised.

- Description: Sowa, January 3, 1994 (AIA/Caitlin Davies) — Mercy Manakedi Theetso is 29 and has four children. She breast-fed her first child for 18 months, her second for eight months, and she didn’t breast-feed her third child at all. “I was working and the baby stayed with my mother so we used a bottle for the first four months, then we used a cup,” explains Theetso. “Myself, I like to breast-feed but I don’t have the time.” In the 1960s Botswana’s medical practitioners began giving new-born babies the bottle. Now, 30 years later, there is a concerted effort by the Botswana government to promote a return to breast-feeding. But as women have gone out of the home to work, reversing the trend is not an easy task. However, breast-feeding does remain popular in Botswana. “It’s a culturally acceptable norm,” says Virkloti Morewane of UNICEF, and boys and girls are fed for the same amount of time.

- Description: Windhoek, January 16,1995 (AIA/Joshua Amupadhi) — Many impoverished Namibians are demanding swifter change to better their lives following elections which restored the ruling SWAPO party to power for another five years. SWAPO, the former guerrilla organisation which fought for the independence of Namibia from apartheid South African rulers, won an easy victory in the first post independence elections in December. Those interviewed say five years were enough for the former liberation movement to have made a good start on improving the standards of living of many previously disadvantaged Namibians and dismantle apartheid structures established during 75 years of South African colonialism. One SWAPO supporter says independence has created only a black elite to join whites in the rich suburban areas but has not narrowed the gap between the rich and poor.

- Description: Machipanda, February 3,1995 (AIA/Brian Latham)—Many Zimbabwean peasants have quietly found the solution to land shortages by crossing into neighbouring Mozambique where it is plentiful. For as little as US$ 10 a field, they are acquiring land and a place to live — probably illegally — from chiefs and headmen across the border. Information on how to get land is easily accessible in Machipanda, the Mozambique border town at the head of the Beira Corridor from Zimbabwe to the Indian Ocean. Confusion reigns in Mozambique in the aftermath of the devastating civil war. And in a country reputed to be the poorest on earth, the government can do little to control the flood of border jumpers in both directions: Mozambicans enter Zimbabwe to sell everything from guns to clothes donated by aid agencies and Zimbabweans enter Mozambique in search of land to till.

- Description: Archaeopteris notosaria sp. nov. based on one fertile and numerous sterile leafy branches is described from the Grahamstown By-Pass locality, Witpoort Formation (Witteberg Group) Upper Devonian, and represents the first unequivocal record of the genus in southern Africa. This occurrence is used, in its palaeogeographical context, to support the suggestion that climatic gradients in Late Devonian times were less steep than they are at present.

It begins with a section that reviews economic trends, including growth, unemployment and inflation. At the end of the booklet is a more detailed article on inflation taken from the South African Labour Bulletin, showing why the official inflation rate underestimates the level of inflation for the poor. The next section covers employer comments regarding the coming wage negotiations. It includes information on wage levels, the apartheid wage gap and estimates on labour as a proportion of costs. Lastly there is a calendar showing when Cosatu members, and their unions implement wage increases.
