- Description: I am advancing a celebratory synopsis of Mqhayi, uMzima, uBhomoyi kaCedume at a time when the South African contemporary society is attempting to restructure itself in order to regain lost values before it can successfully and rationally embrace values of other people. In my presentation, I have mindfully taken cognisance of the plight of the so called lost generation, especially among our youth, those who have become strangers in their own land – no language, only misguided and distorted cultural values, no self, distorted history - this of course because of indoctrinations of some psycho-socio-histori-cultural and political imperatives. Strangely enough these are some of the issues that SEK Mqhayi warns us about in his creative works and has made efforts for us to see, but unfortunately no one listened or saw anything. Now that we “have the truth but denied the truth and now that we have the light, but we sit in darkness, Shivering, benighted in the bright noon-day sun,” and now that we are all blind, I think, this evening is the right time to see.

- Description: Based on a survey of 4,393 journalism students in Australia, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States, this study provides much-needed comparative evidence about students’ motivations for becoming journalists, their future job plans, and expectations. Findings show not only an almost universal decline in students’ desire to work in journalism by the end of their program but also important national differences in terms of the journalistic fields in which they want to work, as well as their job expectations. The results reinforce the need to take into account national contexts when examining journalism education across the globe.

Recent demographic changes in formerly White universities are having a significant effect on the nature of interaction in formal discussion groups. Despite a common perception that at a tertiary level tutors and students are equally entitled to speak and all contributions equally valued, this article reveals that postgraduate seminars are sites of competition for the floor and that there are significant imbalances in participation by different groups in this competitive speaking environment; it is further argued that these imbalances reflect different (culture- and gender-specific) assumptions about what constitutes appropriate participation and also, to some degree, previous learned discourse patterns associated with schooling experience.

Rather, filled pauses - understood both literally and metaphorically - may be seen to function critically, precisely because they are located neither inside nor outside the "message" of speech. They hover between presence and absence, seemingly content-less and yet dimly portentous: they do and do not matter to meaning. As such, they require (or provoke and demand) a different kind of listening - the acoustic equivalent of reading between the lines.

Re-examining ‘professionalism’ in pharmacy: a South African perspective

- Description: Although defining itself as a patient-centred profession, private sector (community and private hospital) pharmacy often appears to be that of a product-for-profit centred occupation. This perception has been at the core of the medical profession's attempts to reduce the professional autonomy of pharmacy, and has appeared at the forefront of the South African Department of Health's positioning of private sector pharmacy. Using as a starting point the debate surrounding attempts by the South African Minister of Health to regulate the price of medicines, I propose that the present negative positioning of private sector pharmacy in South Africa could be ameliorated by pharmacy practice that evidences a redefined understanding of professionalism.

Empirically modelled Pc3 activity based on solar wind parameters

- Description: It is known that under certain solar wind (SW)/interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) conditions (e.g. high SW speed, low cone angle) the occurrence of ground-level Pc3–4 pulsations is more likely. In this paper we demonstrate that in the event of anomalously low SW particle density, Pc3 activity is extremely low regardless of otherwise favourable SW speed and cone angle. We re-investigate the SW control of Pc3 pulsation activity through a statistical analysis and two empirical models with emphasis on the influence of SW density on Pc3 activity. We utilise SW and IMF measurements from the OMNI project and ground-based magnetometer measurements from the MM100 array to relate SW and IMF measurements to the occurrence of Pc3 activity. Multiple linear regression and artificial neural network models are used in iterative processes in order to identify sets of SW-based input parameters, which optimally reproduce a set of Pc3 activity data. The inclusion of SW density in the parameter set significantly improves the models. Not only the density itself, but other density related parameters, such as the dynamic pressure of the SW, or the standoff distance of the magnetopause work equally well in the model. The disappearance of Pc3s during low-density events can have at least four reasons according to the existing upstream wave theory: 1. Pausing the ion-cyclotron resonance that generates the upstream ultra low frequency waves in the absence of protons, 2. Weakening of the bow shock that implies less efficient reflection, 3. The SW becomes sub-Alfvénic and hence it is not able to sweep back the waves propagating upstream with the Alfvén-speed, and 4. The increase of the standoff distance of the magnetopause (and of the bow shock). Although the models cannot account for the lack of Pc3s during intervals when the SW density is extremely low, the resulting sets of optimal model inputs support the generation of mid latitude Pc3 activity predominantly through upstream waves.

Ethics, cultures, fraud and corruption: the unanswered questions

- Description: idea for the paper emanated from my concern regarding the absolute flood of unethical behaviour in recent times. Fraud and corruption in South Africa is rife and it seems that the average person has no control over what comes next. Considering the impacts of peoples’ background, social standing and culture, the paper considered the psychological processes through which learning of habits and mannerisms take place; and how it influences ethical behaviour. Valuable lessons are learnt, namely that culture, whether it being ethnical, organisational, family or religious, have a direct impact on a person’s ethical value system and subsequently on whether a person is inclined to partake in fraud and corrupt activities. Fraud and corruption can cripple and destroy organisations and its auditors. Fraud and corruption are costly. The paper reports that it is ultimately the responsibility of executive management to manage fraud and associated risks – management must set the “Tone at the Top”. Managing ethics is costly, but ignoring it is fatal. Although it is not the primary responsibility of auditors to detect and investigate fraud and corruption, the accounting profession needs to do introspection to determine what society expects of them. A mere audit opinion on annual financial statements does not satisfy the demands of society any more. The question is apparently not whether fraud will occur in organisations, but rather when and that everybody must insist on doing the right thing – for the greater good.

In South Africa, the legacy of apartheid has left its indigenous languages particularly vulnerable, and since 1994 huge efforts have been made to reverse the situation. Despite the new language policy and accompanying legislation, it would seem that many Xhosa speakers themselves want English, and not Xhosa,for their children. This paper reports on a multi-faceted quantitative and qualitative survey in and around Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape Province, which focused on the steady trickle of speakers of Xhosa into English-medium schools in thearea, and examined the reasons underlying decisions to send Xhosa children to these schools and the subsequent linguistic and psycho-social effects of the move on the children.

- Description: Nactu, the second largest trade union federation with a membership of more than 500 000 workers from across various sectors, publishes this month its new baby. Workers Tribune, a monthly magazine that will communicate the federation's message to its members and other interested parties. It was not by accident that the birth of this important publication should coincide with May Day. For Nactu, May Day is the embodiment of workers' and peoples' struggles that has culminated in the freedom that South Africa enjoys today. We also know that these struggles occurred in an unfriendly, and often hostile environment, with many of the liberation heroes and heroines laying down their lives for the love of freedom and justice. We now enjoy democracy and freedom, and we must work hard at preserving it. We must always be mindful that it is easy to abuse freedom, and so we must strenuously be on the lookout for tendencies that seek to undermine freedom. We may have a new political order in our country, but there can be no question that the working class is still facing new challenges against capital, even black bosses. We still live in an environment that creates tensions between the working class and the bosses. We still have thousands of our comrades who have been retrenched because of the desire by bosses to realise big profits. And so, the struggle for workers' complete emancipation from tyranny is far from over. All bosses, including some we shared pain and abuse in the apartheid trenches, are capable of reverting to old ways. We must not forget that, like the erstwhile bosses of the apartheid era, they operate within an environment that is determined from outside,, and so they have to play the game according to pre-determined rules. The emergence of turncoats is on the increase. And for reasons I have alluded to, that should not surprise us. The trade union movement should increasingly prepare itself for other battles. But we should also empower ourselves with knowledge, so that when we dialogue with the bosses we raise compelling arguments. Slogans qlone do not work. We need to develop intellect as well. And so in this issue, Comrade Cunningham Ngcukana begins the process of teaching, and mental empowerment. He helps his readers to have a better understanding of what globalisation is all about, explaining that it is more profitable for unions to have profound appreciation of the workings of this system if they have to use it to their advantage. Ngcukana also writes about May Day. He tells us about the origins of this day. It is history we need because it is both informative and inspiring. A fine and commendable work by the general secretary of Nactu. There is also an article on gender equality in the workplace. Brenda Modise wrote it for us, and do read and enjoy it. To break the heaviness of the magazine, we also run a variety of pictures that seek to introduce to readers some of Nactu's leaders. We believe that it is important that you know your leaders in the trade union movement. Most importantly, however, we want to create a dialogue between ourselves and readers. Do, therefore, send us letters, commenting on various issues raised in this number. We hope to be of service to you. Do have a nice read.
