- Description: During the past few months, we experienced the mass mobilisation of 70 000 teachers, nationally. This collective showing of unity and strength forced the State to listen to the grievances of teachers. In the Western Cape, militant teachers took to the streets to picket, held successful sit-ins at Regional Offices, participated in mass marches and rallies. We saw unprecedented mass mobilisation of teachers on three occasions. Firstly, a SADTU meeting at the Athlone Civic Centre where a resolution was adopted to intensify ttie campaign against unilateral restructuring and retrenchments. Secondly, after consultations with other teacher organisations in the Western Cape, we embarked on an ‘ambitious’ plan of uniting all organisations against rationalisation, merit awards and our fight for a Living Wage. This culminated in the historic meeting at the Good Hope Centre which drew approx. 10 000 teachers together to demonstrate the anger of teachers at the racist education departments and the intransigent State. Thirdly, The Western Cape Region of SADTU supported the call by National to suspend the strike regarding the Living Wage demand but agreed to continue with strike action, 24 25 May, around the issue of rationalisation and retrenchments. This was in accordance with SADTU National position. On the 26 May, at a SADTU mass rally at the Athlone Stadium, (psst! the Civic Centre was too small !) approx. 9 000 teachers, from as far as Bredasdorp, Swellendam, Ceres, Tulbagh, Vredendal, Malmesbury and Atlantis braved the inclement weather to hear a report-back from our comrade chairperson, Vivienne Carelse who was part of the SADTU National Negotiating Team with the Department of National Education

A progamme of discussion on this must be implemented in the Union.

In October 1990, the SCN accord was signed, which gave us back the old Unfair Labour Practice definition, and also set the scene for introducing new legislation for farm, domestic and public sector workers. Since then, a number of unions have been meeting with sub-committees of the National Manpower Commission as well as the Commision for Administration (CFA) to argue for basic rights and legislation for these workers.

- Description: The Rooi Rand dyke swarm is approximately 200km long and up to 20km wide. It crops out in the southern portion of the Lebombo monocline where the dykes intrude basalts of the Sabie River Basalt Formation which is the major basaltic unit in the eastern portion of the Karoo volcanic succession. The Horingbaai dolerites form thin dykes and sills which intrude the base of the Etendeka lava pile (considered part of the Karoo Volcanics, but correlated with the Serra Geral Formation of Brazil) along the coast of Namibia. Both the Rooi Rand and Horingbaai magma types are similar in composition to enriched MORB and are compositionally distinct from most of the Karoo-basalts they intrude.

In 1917, when the first reasonably complete equine census of Britain was undertaken, there were 2,650,773 horses in the country, 1,115,920 of which were used for agricultural purposes (Chivers, 1976). Horse breeding was therefore of great importance and a variety of attempts was made to improve the quality of horses by subsidising stallions that travelled the countryside during the breeding season, and that were available, at a fee, for the service of mares. This paper describes some of the routes followed by stallions that formerly travelled in Brycheiniog and adjacent counties.

A stability-indicating liquid chromatographic method for the analysis of erythromycin in stored biological fluids using amperometric detection

- Description: A simple, sensitive and reliable high-performance liquid chromatographic procedure has been developed for the determination of erythromycin in human serum and urine using amperometric detection. A solid-phase extraction procedure was used followed by chromatography on a reverse-phase column. The mean recovery of erythromycin from serum and urine was 80%. This method allows both erythromycin and its principle degradation product, anhydroeythromycin, to be determined during a period of sample storage at 4 degree C and minus 15 degree C. The method is sufficiently sensitive and precise and is thus highly suited for use in both pharmacokinetic and stability studies.

The species is free living on sand. Males average a larger size than females. Sex ratios are uneven, with about twice as many females as males. Fusigobius longispinus Goren is recorded from several localities in the western Indian Ocean, where populations differ morphologically from Red Sea populations. Fusiogobius neophytus africanusls regarded as a synonym of F. neophytus.

Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 24 , Electrofishing surveys throughout Malawi have increased the number of mormyrid species known to occur in the country, expanded known ranges of the species and cast doubts on some earlier records. The distribution of each of the eight recorded species is given, and a key is provided for the identification of the species. The available evidence suggests that Gnathonemus nyasensis Worthington, 1933 is a junior synonym of Marcusenius livingstonii (Boulenger, 1898) a species described from the Ruvuma River of Tanzania. Geological evidence supports fish distribution evidence that indicates links between Lake Malawi and East Coast Rivers. Some affinities are also noted between Lake Malawi and Upper Zambezi/Zaire faunas.

Nxele, Ntsikana and the origins of the Xhosa religious reaction

- Description: The sudden expulsion of the Xhosa across the Fish River in 1811–12 created a practical and conceptual crisis which the traditional political authorities were unable to resolve. Two commoners, Nxele and Ntsikana, emerged in this vacuum, each proposing his own solution to the problems posed by the white irruption. Although these responses were religious responses, they were neither irrational nor incomprehensible. Xhosa religion had long functioned as an instrument for the control of the material world. By incorporating selected Christian concepts with the Xhosa world-view, Nxele and Ntsikana were able to provide the Xhosa with acceptable explanations of past events and prescriptions for future action. Nxele urged resistance and Ntsikana preached submission, but an examination of their personal histories shows that these final conclusions were more the product of exterior pressure than interior revelation. It may be suggested that the future reputations of the two men, like their past actions, will be determined more by the popular mood than by anything they themselves did or said.

- Description: It is certainly true that a number of the men who have sat in homeland representative councils live in white areas. Apartheid idealogues draw two inferences from this observation. Firstly, that as the policy of separate development unfolds, urban representation in homeland councils will be a continuing trend. Secondly, that the political aspirations of urban blacks can be fulfilled in the homeland political arena. (1) Both of these conclusions can be refuted at the empirical level alone. With regard to the first, Kotze himself inadvertently provides us with evidence to the contrary. Of the seven representatives " from white urban areas" whom he mentions, four of these men were forced out of the homeland political arena, in 1975 alone. Collins Ramusi and Mageza, having become "interior ministers" for their homelands (Lebowa and Gazankulu respectively) were forced to leave their positions towards the beginning of that year, and Barney Dladla, Executive Councillor for Community Affairs in Buthelezi's KwaZulu cabinet, was ousted as well. Baldwin Mudau’s Venda Independence People’s party suffered continual harassment and was thwarted in its attempts to hold elections in Venda. It was decided to examine the cases of Mudau and Mageza in greater depth to explain how the demise in their roles as ’homeland politicians’ occurred. This examination revealed the fallaciousness of the second and central inference mentioned earlier. It was shown that although these men lived and worked in the city, their electoral support did not come from the urban areas. Once it was established that their electoral base was in fact a predominantly rural one, the refutation of this second theme became complete. On a purely empirical level then, the contentions of Kotze et al were refuted. But to merely refute these ideological statements by providing evidence to the contrary does not answer the questions that have arisen as a result of the investigation. , Opposition politics in Venda and Gazenkulu
