- Description: With developments in the Internet and Web-based technologies, dis-tinctions between traditional markets and the global electronic market-place-such as business capital size, are gradually being narrowed down. It is recognized that in the Information Age, e-Commerce is a powerful tool for economic growth of developing countries. While there are indications of e-Commerce patronage among large firms in devel-oping countries, there seems to be little and negligible use of the Inter-net for commerce among small and medium sized firms. However, many of these e-Commerce projects in marginalized areas fail as a re-sult of lack of the required resources to support ICTs. Different ways have been suggested for marketing products online and to create cus-tomer loyalty. This paper discusses a marketing and customer loyalty strategy through a real-time interactive negotiation application, aimed at improving the existing e-Commerce platform. The e-Commerce platform has been deployed as part of the Siyakhula Living Lab ICTD project which is undertaken for the Dwesa community in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa.

Emerging pests and Vector-borne diseases in Europe, Volume 1, W. Takken and B.G.J. Knols (Eds.): book review

- Description: Emerging and re-emerging vector-borne diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, protozoa and other pathogens have increased dramatically throughout the world in recent years. Among the factors that have undoubtedly contributed to this scenario are environmental change, increased international trade and travel, human-induced changes in land use, technical innovations in food processing, microbial adaptation and insecticide resistance. Such diseases pose a serious threat to both human and animal health, and measures for their surveillance and control urgently need to be implemented. In view of the fact that infectious diseases are currently appearing in countries where they did not previously exist or are reappearing after a period of decline, this book is both timely and crucial to our understanding and awareness of this serious problem.

- Description: The book provides an in-depth view of a group of teen-aged fathers in two sites, one in KwaZulu-Natal and one in the Western Cape. Swartz and Bhana use a range of data collection techiniques, including inter-views with young African and Coloured fathers, an interactive social mapping exercise with these young men, and social network interviews conducted by the young men. A debriefing and consultation workshop was conducted with participants in the Western Cape at the end of the process. The stated aims of the workshop include the young men providing support networks to each other, addressing any feelings of distress, with possible referral to appropriate support services, and providing the opportunity for participants to comment on the research-ers’ analysis. These aims are illustrative of the sensitive manner in which the researchers approached their research and their interaction with the participants. Disappointingly, however, the data obtained in the consultation workshop are not made central to the analysis.

JM Coetzee's Disgrace: a reader's guide, and: JM Coetzee's austerities

- Description: Like all of the other publications in the series of which it forms a part, Andrew van der Vlies's Disgrace: A Reader's Guide conforms to a set format: a preface, followed by biographical information on the novelist and the context in which he or she wrote the text concerned, and then a longer section comprising a paraphrase and discussion of the work and its reception, together with suggestions for further reading. Despite these structural constraints, van der Vlies provides a very fine introduction to Disgrace in this volume. Readers will find especially insightful his treatment of Coetzee's preoccupation with alterity, and the responsibility, both ethical and aesthetic, that such otherness exacts. One very slight criticism I have of the monograph is that it could have contained more references to discussions of Coetzee's use of narrative point of view in its list of recommended reading. (James Meffan and Kim Worthington's examination of the ambivalent relationship between David Lurie and the narrator's voice comes to mind here, for instance.) Having said this, however, I have little doubt that van der Vlies's guide will prove a useful and comprehensive introduction to Disgrace in university programs.

Range extension of the Lufira Masked Weaver Ploceus ruweti, endemic to Katanga province, Democratic Republic of Congo

- Description: For many years the status of Ploceus ruweti Louette and Benson 1982, described from the unique male type specimen obtained in 1960 at Lake Lufira (an artificial impoundment on the Lufira River), remained obscure. However, in 2009 MH revisited the type locality, photographed the birds breeding there (including females and young birds), and rec-orded their song; nests and eggs were described for the first time, and a second male specimen was obtained from local fishermen (Louette and Hasson 2009; collection number RMCA A9-18-A-1). This species had been treated in the authoritative series The Birds of Africa as the Lake Lufira Weaver (Oschadleus 2004), and appears under this name in current checklists and fieldguides (eg Sinclair and Ryan 2003). Since the lake is now known as Lake Tshangalele and, based on our data from a recent field trip to the region, the bird is not restricted to the lake, an appropriate common name for P. ruweti is ‘Lufira Masked Weaver’as recommended by Gill and Wright (2006), and as used in a forthcoming volume of the other authoritative series Handbook of the Birds of the World (Craig 2010).

- Description: DOMESTIC WORK IS WORK; DOMESTIC WORKERS ARE WORKERS; SADSAWU through our active involvement in the processes leading up to the adoption of the ILO convention on domestic workers, recognises that our country has made huge strides to protect domestic workers in relation to other countries. South Africa and particularly the Department of Labour played a leading role ensuring that the ILO adopted the convention on the 16th June 2011. Our right to organise, to a contract of employment, to participate in processes of setting national minimum wages and conditions of employment has been achieved long before the adoption of the ILO convention But we have to continue to lead and the nexi step is the ratification of the ILO convention on domestic workers by the South African government - let us be the first country to do so in Africa and in the world.

Zimbabwe's Land Reform: myths and realities

- Description: Zimbabwe’s land reform is the first book on contemporary Zimbabwe that offers an empirically-rich and detailed account of redistributed farms that arose from ‘fasttrack’ land reform 10 years ago. In order to fully appreciate the significance of this book, it is necessary to outline briefly recent intellectual debates on Zimbabwe. Two main positions exist on Zimbabwean politics and society. The first position argues that the radical restructuring of agrarian relations (including undermining white agricultural capital and breaking up large commercial farms into smaller units) is a progressive tendency that has opened up opportunities for black small-scale farmers. Simultaneously, this position often underplays the existence of state restructuring of an authoritarian kind. The second position argues that land redistribution has dramatically undercut agricultural production thereby severely compromising food security for all Zimbabweans. It brings to the fore violent state action in instigating land occupations and in thwarting political opposition to ‘fast-track’.
