Description: This is a booklet to explain why M A W U has decided to join the Industrial Council for the Iron, Steel Engineering and Metallurgical Industry. In South Africa at present there are 104 Industrial Councils. However, the one for the Iron, Steel, Engineering and Metallurgical Industries is the largest and most important covering nearly 500 000 workers. But only about 100 000 of these workers belong to trade unions. At the Industrial Council the employers and trade unions negotiate an agreement that covers all 500 000 workers. At present on the union side there are 14 trade unions - M A W U will make it 15. But most of these unions are racial unions and what are called craft unions - that is their members only do certain kinds of jobs e.g. boilermakers or electricians etc. On the employer side nearly all the 8400 factories in the industry are members of the employer association SEIFSA. It is SEIFSA - which is the largest and most powerful employer association in South Africa - that negotiates for employers on the Industrial Council.

Description: In both The Old Curiosity Shop (1840-41) and A Tale of Two Cities (1859) a young girl takes care of an old man who is, or has been, de-ranged; and he has hanned her in some way. This shared motif has its source in the death of Cordelia, in particular the rendering of that scene by William Charles Macready in his historic production with which Charles Dickens was involved as advisor and consultant (one of" the company of his cabinet" as Macready's biographer has it (Downer, 170»." The role of Lear was one of Macready's most famous", writes Paul Schlicke: Its significance lies in the fact that for his production Macready returned to the original text of the play and threw out Nahum Tate's adaptation, which, introducing a romantic love story between Cordelia and Edgar and a happy ending for Cordelia and Lear, had held the English stage for a century and a half.

Acquaintance Rape - When the rapist is someone you know

Description: Acquaintance rape is forced sexual contact by someone who knows you. The rapist may be a date, neighbor, friend, boss, colleague, delivery person or repair worker. The risk of a woman being sexually assaulted by an acquaintance is four times greater than her risk of being raped by a stranger. Women ranging in age from 15 to 24 are the primary acquaintance rape victims. Recent studies show that junior high school girls are also at great risk. Date rape is the most common form of acquaintance rape. Sexual assault, including acquaintance rape, also happens to men; men can be sexually exploited by other men or by women. Women can also be sexually exploited by other women. This brochure refers to the victim as “she” and the offender as “he” since most victims are female and most offenders are male. However, most of the information applies to male victims as well as female victims. As with all sexual assault victims, the acquaintance rape victim suffers physical and emotional trauma. She has been physically and emotionally violated, and she needs support. Sexual assault centers help victims cope with medical, legal and emotional needs after sexual assault. This brochure has been prepared by the Illinois Coalition Against Sexual Assault to help you learn more about this crime and where to get help if you are a victim. There are sexual assault centers throughout the state of Illinois; the list on the last page tells where these programs are located.

Description: Two views capture in cameo the most obvious conflict over Shake-speare's presence in post-colonial Africa. The late Okot p'Bitek, when newly appointed as Director of Uganda's National Theatre, set tradi-tional drummers to play outside the building; he was, in David Rubadiri's words," challenging... the British Council, which thought it had exclusive rights to put Shakespeare there all the time instead of getting the ordi-nary people... to come and see local plays".

Description: Although Othello is where I want to start and where I hope to end, my proper aim is the more general one of Africa as seen through Elizabe-than eyes. I shall use a particular moment in the playas a crux upon which to develop a broad-ranging examination of what Elizabethans knew about Africa, or what they thought they knew about Africa, or, bet-ter still, how they understood what they thought they knew about Africa. The incident is Othello's appearance before the Venetian court where, accused by Desdemona's father that he had suborned her judgement with" charms... conjuration... and mighty magic"(1.3. 91-92), Othello proposes to unfold" a round unvarnished tale" to prove his veracity, his nobility and, most importantly, his common humanity with the Vene-tians. The speech contains such" round unvarnished" matters as the cannibals that each other eat, The anthropophagi, and men whose heads Do grow beneath their shoulders.

The Benthic invertebrate community of a Southern Cape estuary : structure and possible food sources

Description: Cluster analysis of invertebrate communities in the Swartvlei estuary revealed that vegetated (Zostera capensis) sites were distinct from unvegetated ones. `Indicator species' for the eelgrass group included Melita zeylinaca, Loripes clausus, Natica tecta and Palaemon pacificus, whereas those for the bare sand community were Urothoe pulchella, Callianassa kraussi, Iphinoe truncata and Pontogeloides latipes. Infaunal bivalves comprised >60 % of the invertebrate biomass at Zostera sites but <5 % at bare sand sites. Conversely the infaunal anomuran C. kraussi dominated the sandy sites (>80 %) and was a minor component (<5 %) at eelgrass sites. The supratidal invertebrate community was dominated by Orchestia spp. which live and feed on wrack detritus. Litterbag experiments revealed that degradation of Zostera leaf wrack was rapid during the first thirty days after deposition but slow between 40 and 140 days. Laboratory experiments indicated that Orchestia consumption of wrack material could not account for the rapid weight loss recorded in the natural environment. Preliminary diet analyses of intertidal and infratidal zoobenthos revealed that most invertebrate species feed on detritus and associated microorganisms. Filamentous algae and diatoms dominated the gut contents of only three out of 18 macrobenthic species, and living Zostera was not an important food item for any invertebrate examined.

Description: The Congress of SA living wage campaign will be launched towards the end of this month. Already various regions report that police are refusing permission for public launches to be held. Initial plans by some regions to launch the campaign at the end of this week, to coincide with the commemoration of the Sharpeville and Langa massacres, had to be shelved when permission to hold a mass rally was turned down. Cosatu has vowed to make this the "biggest challenge to bosses and their profit system". The struggle is also seen as more than just an economic one. "It is a struggle against apartheid- capitalism which is built on ultra-cheap, ultra- controllable and super-exploitable labour.

Description: Online version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 33 , Himantura draco sp.n is described from an immature male specimen of 56 cm disc width collected at Durban. Dasyatis kuhlii is reported from southern Africa based on three specimens from Natal. Records of H. fava, H. imbricata and H. jenkinsii from southern Africa appear to be erroneous, the latter two being misidentifications of H. gerrardi, and the first a misidentified specimen of H. uarnak. Records of H. purpurea are apparently based on Dasyatis violacea and Himantura sp. (possibly H. fai). A key to the 13 species of dasyatids known from southern Africa is presented.
