  • Description: On June 12, 1986, the South African government responded to a strong upsurge in popular resistance with an intensive security crackdown. It is estimated that between 25 000 and 40 000 so- called extra-parliamentary opponents were detained during the first twelve months of South Africa's third state of emergency. These detentions, plus a range of other repressive devices, were part of a determined campaign on the part of the state to reorientate the political process in favour of white domination. There can be little doubt that this third state of emergency, two years old in June 1988, has halted - albeit temporarily - the erosion of the state's authority. Extra-parliamentary opposition has been bruised. Yet Pretoria's purpose is not merely to secure the grudging compliance of a submissive and sullen black community. The government's longer-term aim is to create a climate in which selected "moderate" black groups can be persuaded to endorse a reformed version of the present, apartheid-based, constitution. This report is largely based on the findings of an attitudinal survey of township residents in two Eastern Cape towns which was conducted one year after the third emergency was declared. A considerable volume of information on repression in the Eastern Cape - and, particularly, social conflict emanating from the actions of officials of the state - has been gathered over the past three years by organisations of lawyers, church bodies, local communities, and support and monitoring groups such as the Black Sash. Much of this is in the form of signed statements by eye-witnesses, newspaper reports, and documentation from political trials. However, up to this point no empirical study of any scale of such conditions in the region has been undertaken. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

Social structure and rural economic development

- Berger, Guy

  • Authors: Berger, Guy
  • Date: 1989
  • Subjects: Social structure -- Developing countries , Rural development-- Developing countries
  • Language: English
  • Type: Thesis , Doctoral , PhD

  • Description: New concepts and a synthesis of existing theories may assist in studying the relationship between social structure, development and rural development. The concept of social structure encompasses the concept of economic structure which may be analysed in terms of three "Moments" of production. On this basis, one can distinguish between heterogeneous and homogeneous relations of production structures. "Homogeneous relations" together with "system dynamics" and ''reproduction", define the concept of a mode of production. "Development" refers to the expansion of total productive capacity, premissed on advanced means of production, and corresponding to the particular relations and forces of production in an economic system. The capitalist mode of production has both tendencies and countertendencies to development. The latter prevail in the Third World due to the admixture and heterogeneity of production relations there, and to their subordinate articulation within an international capitalist economic system. In this context, underdevelopment is the result of the specific factors of monopoly competition, dependence-extraversion, disarticulation-unevenness, the three-tier structure of the peripheral economy, surplus transfer, and class structures and struggles. Rural development can be understood in terms of the specific contribution of agriculture to development, theorized as the "Agrarian Question". Agrarian capitalism has been slow to develop in the Third World, and the state of agriculture remains a problem there. "Rural development" has emerged as a deliberate and interventionist state strategy designed to restructure agrarian relations for development. This has contributed to the formation of particular heterogeneous relations of production articulated to the capitalist mode. In this context, the character of the associated classes has left the Agrarian Question unresolved. "Rural development" continues because it has an important~ and even primary, political significance - although this is not without contradictions.

Some reading problems encountered by Ciskeian second language English readers in subject content areas, with special reference to geography at the Standard Six level

  • Description: Since in our educational system a great deal of learning is supposedly dependant upon a child's ability to read and assimilate information from textbooks, this study investigated what reading skills are required by a second language reader of English to read textbooks with comprehension and understanding in relation to the reading skills of a competent reader and how Ciskeian Standard 6 pupils perform in relation to a Geography text prescribed at that level. A test, designed to measure eight reading comprehension skills, was given to a sample of 250 children from four schools in Zwelitsha, Ciskei, to establish whether the subjects are able to: a) give the literal meaning of words; b) derive the appropriate meaning of an ambiguous word from the context in which it appears; c) find answers to questions by making direct reference to the text; d) identify the major points and details in a text; e) use the information in the text to predict what the writer is going to talk about next; f) find the referent for anaphoric terms; g) use discourse markers to predict information/meaning to come, and see the relationships between what they have just read and what they are about to read; h) activate and use the background knowledge and schemata that they have to understand the text topic.The results of this study indicate that these children are: a) unfamiliar with the structure of expository texts; b) linguistically bound to a text and that they fail to use linguistic and contextual clues even when they are explicit in the text. The study also shows that the ability to make inferences and predictions is determined to a large extent by the prior knowledge and background experience that a pupil brings with him to the text and by his ability to activate that background knowledge. The findings suggest that in the English classroom, in an English as a second language (L2) medium situation, the L2 teacher has a responsibility to prepare the child for the study, which includes reading, writing, listening and speaking, of all subjects across the curriculum through the second language, which is the medium of instruction

Studying history by correspondence : assessment of the work at the Graaff-Reinet College for Continued Education

  • Authors: Van Niekerk, Clive
  • Date: 1989

  • Description: The aim of this study was to carry out an investigation of history as a correspondence subject for practising teachers and to make an assessment of work at the Graaff- Reinet College for Continued Training. The problems experienced by lecturers and students involved with the study of history at this institution receive particular attention. At intervals throughout the study attention is given to the need for further training for teachers who are in- service. Teacher qualifications in the Cape Province are also examined to see potential needs for further training in the future. Having determined a need, it is proposed that correspondence courses are best suited to cater for it. A study is made of the models, background and approaches used by other institutions in various parts of the world. Distance education started in England at the end of the eighteenth century. This idea has spread to various countries and today teaching and learning by correspondence takes place in most countries of the world. It is different to conventional classroom education and thus has certain unique characteristics. The definition, characteristics, background and methodology are important if the problems involved are to be understood. These aspects indicate how effective and popular this form of study has become. Particular attention is given to the teaching of in-service teachers who are upgrading their qualifications. The existing and proposed College history syllabi are examined in as far as their appropriateness and relevance are concerned. Emphasis is given to history at Graaff- Reinet College because the author is a history lecturer at this institution. An extended questionnaire was designed and used to collect the required data on the subjects who were from two groups of students studying history at the College, one in 1986 and one in 1987. A pilot study was done in 1986 and a more extended questionnaire was completed by the 1987 students. In chapter six the results of the questionnaire are analysed and particular attention is given to the students' background, motivation for studying and difficulties they encounter. Finally, recommendations are made about how this form of teacher upgrading can be improved and extended in the future

Syllabus differentiation in mathematics in Ciskei : the reality as against intention

- Deliwe, Mawonga Christopher Columbus

  • Authors: Deliwe, Mawonga Christopher Columbus
  • Date: 1989

  • Description: The topic of this half-thesis was conceived after the author had noted with interest, that an alarmingly high number of pupils in the Mdantsane Central District of the Ciskei were registering for Higher Grade (HG) mathematics for their final (Standard 10) year. What mattered most was that the failure rate was abnormally high. As a teacher of the subject for 14 years as at the end of 1988, the author had seen very weak pupils passing through his hands who had nevertheless insisted on registering for the examination in HG mathematics. A look through the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) Report of 1971 which recommended the syllabus differentiation, revealed that the intention of the relevant HSRC Committee was to offer a subject at a level in accordance with a pupil's interest, aptitude and ability. In a survey undertaken by the author, samples of teachers, pupils and parents indeed confirmed the existence of a very high number of HG candidates, as suspected. The survey also revealed an aversion to the standard grade (SG) course by some pupils, teachers and even principals. A desire for university education was shown to be in the minds of most pupil respondents. Well sourced registration statistics clearly showed that the Department of Education and Training (DET) in the Republic of South Africa and the Department of Education in the Ciskei had by far the greatest proportion of pupils on the HG in mathematics in comparison with the other race groups.Standard 10 (Std 10) results for two years taken separately confirmed the author's suspicion that aptitude and/or ability were not taken into consideration by most pupils, in the choice of grade. The results were not good at all. In most cases the uninformed pupil was acting alone in taking the important decision, perhaps with only peer group pressure to contend with. Three independent opinions suggested that there was probably a general feeling that Black education was already inferior, even without the syllabus differentiation hence the reluctance to register for the SG option. Furthermore, the investigation indicated that there was no adequate provision for technical education for Blacks in either the RSA or Ciskei which would provide the alternative to a university career for a pupiL Amongst other things, a mild form of pupil screening and a well structured careers guidance programme are suggested in the concluding chapters

Synthetic studies of swazinecic acid dilactone

  • Subjects: Phrrolizidines Alkaloids -- Synthesis

  • Description: The occurrence and syntheses of the pyrrolizidine alkaloids from 1976 to March 1988 is reviewed, and a stereoselective total synthesis of swazinecic acid dilactone was attempted. One approach involved an asymmetric synthesis of the allylic α-hydroxy acid 2-hydroxy-2,3-dimethyl-3-butenoic acid employing oxazolines as chiral auxilaries. The oxazoline, (4S,5S)-2-(1-bromoethyl)-4-methoxymethyl-5-phenyl-2-oxazoline, was obtained by direct halogenation of the 2-ethyl oxazoline analogue. This was condensed with acetone in a Darzens type reaction and the resultant epoxy oxazoline rearranged to an allylic α-hydroxy oxazoline which was then hydrolysed to the chiral hydroxy acid in low enantiomeric excess. The hydroxy acid, as the O-silylated ethyl ester, was elaborated by allylic diethyl malonate to bromination and condensation with diethyl 5-carboethoxy-2-methyl-3- methylene-2-0-tert-butyldimethylsilylhexanedioate. Removal of the silyl protecting group and epoxidation provided an epoxy triester, which on hydrolysis provided a mixture of acids of uncertain structures.
