- 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.

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.

- Description: Over the last thirty years, there has been considerable evolution in the thinking about gender equality issues and the actions needed to achieve real changes in the position of women vis-a-vis men. Prior to the 1970s, women were defined mainly in terms of their conventional reproductive roles, and efforts to improve women's welfare focussed on such programmes as literacy courses, home economics, child care and family planning. Though no doubt valuable, such welfare and family-oriented programmes had the effect of reinforcing women's traditional role in the family. Since the 1970s, there has been a shift to the division of labour based on sex, and the impact of development and modernization strategies on women. It is important to understand that improvements in women's status require analysis of the relations between men and women, as well as the concurrence and cooperation of men. As illustrated in the Beijing document: "Achieving gender equality and empowerment of women requires redressing inequalities between women and men and girls and boys and ensuring their equal rights, responsibilities, opportunities and possibilities. Gender equality implies that women's as well as men's needs, interests, concerns, experiences and priorities are an integral dimension of the design, implementation, national monitoring and follow-up and evaluation, including at the international level, of all actions in all areas."

- Description: Kinetics and equilibria for the reaction between pyridine and cobalt(II) phthalocyanine [CoPc] (H2Pc = phthalocyanine) in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) were studied at 25°C. The complex, CoPc(py)2, is formed in two consecutive steps. The formation of the mono-substituted CoPc(py)(DMSO) occurs first with a pseudo-first-order rate constant of k1f = 7.7 ± 0.3 × 10−3 dm3 mol−1 s−1. The final disubstituted CoPc(py)2 complex is formed with k2f= 1.1 ± 0.1 × 10−4dm3mol−1−1. The equilibrium constants were found to be K1 = 160 ± 20dm3 mol−1 and K2 = 15 ± 3 dm3mol−1 for the formation of CoPc(py)(DMSO) and CoPc(py)2, respectively.

The draft Labour Relations Act is a culmination of struggles by workers over the years against apartheid’s labour dispensation. Many of our demands from the Workers Charter and Platform of Worker Rights are included in the proposed law. The strike wave by Pick ’n Pay workers and others last year sent a clear message to the new government: “Our labour law is out of date and inappropriate for a democratic country.” In August 1994, the Minister of Labour appointed a team of lawyers to draft a new law.

Associated plant and animal remains, and the sedimentology and geochemistry of the containing rocks indicate that the charophytes probably grew in the shallow parts of a brackish coastal lagoon.

- Description: The launch of NEDLAC offers a unique opportunity to our country - a chance to rebuild the economy and society through a consensus forged among workers, investors, government and the community. The road to that consensus will, no doubt, be stormy and rocky. You cannot bring together Jabu Xulu, earning R200.00 per week, after working for 15 years, with a family of five to feed; and John Smith, the Chief Executive Officer of a major conglomerate, earning R20 000.00 per week, and expect that it will be a calm and easy process.
