- Description: An equivalent story to one in Southern Rhodesia. There were three girls who went to the river to get water. They had big strings of beads but one forgot her beads down by the river and when she got home she told her brothers and asked them to take her back to the river to look for them. They refused, so she went alone. She found a hyena who had taken her beads and put them inside a drum and then when she arrived he caught her and put her inside the drum also. He then went to the village to play the drum. The people of the village heard her singing inside the drum. They cooked food and gave it to the hyena who, as soon as he had eaten the food began to play the drum. He went to another village and did the same. The girl inside the drum got very hot but eventually her brothers saved her by cutting open the drum and the hyena diasppeared. A were-wolf story. Nthano story.

Characteristics and key-success factors of future sought-after retirement villages in George, South Africa

- Description: This study is about obtaining information about international and national trends and features of sought-after retirement villages by means of a literature review (secondary research) as well as by means of a survey amongst estate agents and retirees currently residing in George (primary research). The primary research objective was to develop a Retirement Village Features Model (a set of features, development guidelines, conditions and requirements) for a sought-after retirement village in George, derived from scientific knowledge, resultant from findings and conclusions from primary and secondary research conducted by the researcher. The literature review revealed that worldwide, the population continues to get older and that the number of retirees requiring retirement homes is growing and supply is not keeping pace with the ever-growing demand. It also revealed 16 characteristics of retirement villages that were used as a basis for designing the questionnaire namely the expectation and the importance of: living amongst peers for social interaction, safety and security facilities, an easy-care lifestyle, economic investment security, recreational leisure facilities, beautiful designed buildings and homes, location, privacy, effective management of the development, well nurtured gardens, paved pedestrian walkways, wheelchair friendly designs, low maintenance housing designs, offering facilities for successful ageing, green energy design houses and facilities and the importance of not selling to potential buyers under the age of 50. Although the expectation of each of the 16 characteristics of a sought-after retirement village was high for most participants, the level of importance of each characteristic varied quite a lot. This might be a good indication that participants would like to have all the characteristics present in the development but are sceptical about costs that might be incurred to the homeowner having those characteristics present in the village. The participants in the study also indicated various desired characteristics of a future sought after retirement village that forms part of the Model which conforms to literature findings. These include: emergency assistance button in houses and emergency response services, a clubhouse with catering and braai facilities, WI-FI services in all areas, a pet-friendly environment with park for domestic animals and access to Frail Care and Assisted Living facilities. Participants in the survey also indicated their preference for housing in future sought-after retirement villages namely; 52.17% preferred a two bedroom privately owned home, 33.04% preferred a three bedroom privately owned house, 7.83% preferred renting a one or two-bedroom house and 6.96% prefer a one bedroom privately owned house. 71.31% of participants who responded regarded assisted living services and frail care services and facilities as very important or of utmost importance. This paper was aimed at capturing the essence of how retirees feel about their homes and lifestyle environments. By incorporating the findings and recommendations contained in this study into their development plans for future retirement villages, development companies will have a competitive advantage over their rivals in this industry. It is recommended that future research regarding retirement villages should include other regions in South Africa to improve the model. It is also recommended that further research can be done on how expected facilities in retirement villages can become self- sufficient and subsequently alleviating the maintenance costs for homeowners and hence rendering more value to the homeowner.

- Description: This study is about obtaining information about international and national trends and features of sought-after retirement villages by means of a literature review (secondary research) as well as by means of a survey amongst estate agents and retirees currently residing in George (primary research). The primary research objective was to develop a Retirement Village Features Model (a set of features, development guidelines, conditions and requirements) for a sought-after retirement village in George, derived from scientific knowledge, resultant from findings and conclusions from primary and secondary research conducted by the researcher. The literature review revealed that worldwide, the population continues to get older and that the number of retirees requiring retirement homes is growing and supply is not keeping pace with the ever-growing demand. It also revealed 16 characteristics of retirement villages that were used as a basis for designing the questionnaire namely the expectation and the importance of: living amongst peers for social interaction, safety and security facilities, an easy-care lifestyle, economic investment security, recreational leisure facilities, beautiful designed buildings and homes, location, privacy, effective management of the development, well nurtured gardens, paved pedestrian walkways, wheelchair friendly designs, low maintenance housing designs, offering facilities for successful ageing, green energy design houses and facilities and the importance of not selling to potential buyers under the age of 50. Although the expectation of each of the 16 characteristics of a sought-after retirement village was high for most participants, the level of importance of each characteristic varied quite a lot.

Macleantown: a study of a small South African community

- Description: For some years the Institute of Social and Economic Research at Rhodes University has been engaged in an intensive study of the area of the Eastern Province of the Union of South Africa known to South Africans as the Border Region. By a singular chance an invitation from the East London Divisional Council to investigate the condition of a Border village arose when, in the course of a visit from its Secretary, sufficient data was shown concerning the conditions of village life in the region, to suggest that a special study should be made of rural problems on an intensive basis. In the first instance the enquiry directed to the Institute was administrative in the sense that difficulties were arising in the villages to warrant the establishment of sufficient authentic facts to point the way to methods of solving the immediate difficulties of the Council. While this object has not been overlooked, and it would have been less than courteous to have overlooked the demand that brought-the research into being, it has been thought necessary to widen the scope of the investigation to include materials that go beyond the administrative needs of the Council. The scope of the investigation has been widened to include an analysis of the village community as well as a co-ordinated body of brute fact. While "irreducible fact" is the basis on which the investigation rests, the attempt has been made to isolate meaning and significance of the data; it is in the latter field that deeper aspects of administrative decisions lie more often than in mountains of fact no matter how reliable. A community is an organised unit; there is no simple explanation of the way in which human social institutions work except by analysing the behaviour of people in their everyday activity. The manner in which the organisation works and be more or less efficient and there was prima facie evidence that the community of Macleantown was not organised to yield maximal efficiency. The causative factors involved in this drop in efficiency thus becomes one of the basic tasks , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)
