- Description: It is a welcome move that the Minister has ordered an investigation in the security services within 2 years of the last amendment which was in November 1977. Regular adjustment to minimum wages ere imperative in a situation of rising cost of living. In the past an interval of about 4 years have lapsed before a new investigation is begun. Another positive aspect of this investigation is that the conditions are being investigated simultaneously throughout the major industrial areas in South Africa. This will help in bringing about a uniformity in the conditions of a group of employee 3 who ail do basically the same type of work. It is regretted that the scope of the investigation only includes undertakings in which employers and employees ere associated for the purpose of guarding, protecting etc. In she past this has meant that a large group of security guards are left out completely from the purview of the investigation and are hence not covered by any industrial legislation especially in regards to hours of work.

Multivariate analysis of selected honeybee populations in Africa

- Description: Morphometric characters and sting pheromones of worker honeybees, Apis mellifera Linnaeus were analysed by multivariate methods to characterise selected honeybee populations along five transects in Africa at a meso-scale level of sampling distance resolution. In some, but not all, areas pheromonal clusters were found to be coincident and concordant with the morphometric clusters, thus indicating that different honeybee traits have dispersed variably among populations. All transects were found to contain areas of significantly high variance. High intracolonial variance was taken to indicate localised genetic variation coupled with out-cross matings. Centroids of high intercolonial variance occured at and between cluster boundaries and were typical of transitions between, and rainfall-temperature discontinuities within, ecological-climatological zones, hence areas of ecological instability. Principal component and stepwise discriminant analysis yielded three morphometric clusters corresponding to A. m. sahariensis and A. m. intermissa in Morocco and to A. m. iberica (with three biometric populations) in Spain, but no pheromone clusters. The combined morphometric and pheromonal variance spectra indicated regions of natural hybridisation along a Sahara-Pyrenees transect. In the Horn of Africa, discrete and statistically homogeneous populations were identified: A. m. jemenitica, A. m. bandasii, A. m. sudanensis in Ethiopia and an unclassified group in southwestern Somalia. Areas of high intercolonial variance were interpreted as zones of hybridisation between the populations. Along a transect in west central Africa, three distinct homogeneous populations and two zones of hybridisation were found. These bees were designated as A. m. adansonii whose area of distribution was intruded by an un-named mountain group of bees and a third group, A. m. jemenitica. The delineation of the hybrid zones was supported by intercolonial variance spectra and these significant asymmetries were found to be coincident with transitions between the ecological-climatological zones. In southwestern Africa, two discrete homogeneous populations and a zone of hybridisation between them were identified: A. m. scutellata in northern South Africa and southern Namibia and A. m. adansonii in northern Namibia. Along a transect in the southeastern woodland savanna of Africa, three discrete populations were classified: A. m. litorea in Mozambique, A. m. scutellata in Zimbabwe and A. m. adansonii in northwestern Zambia. A zone of introgression between the last two subspecies occured in south-central Zambia and in the Zambezi valley.

- Description: The African National Congress (ANC) was the leading opponent of the South African Government's Apartheid policies. It was engaged in an Anti-Apartheid struggle and as part thereof called for South Africa's diplomatic isolation. In the course of its struggle, the ANC sought international support. Given the stature of the United Nations (UN) as the foremost international organisation, the ANC campaigned at the UN for South Africa's diplomatic isolation. This thesis focuses on the activities of African National Co~gress at the United Nations. It firstly outlines a brief history of the ANC and the UN and examines the relationship which developed between the two organisations. It then focuses on the activities of the ANC at the UN which were aimed at isolating South Africa diplomatically from the international community. Finally a brief assessment of the extent of South Africa's diplomatic isolation is provided.

- Description: ANC general secretary Cyril Ramaphosa (top left), and constitutional affairs and communications minister, Roelf Meyer, (top right) have been chosen as joint winners of New Nation’s 'Man of the Year Award”. The New Nation Award for "Businessman of the Year” goes to National Sorghum Breweries (NSB) chairperson, Professor Mohale Mahanyele (right). This is the first time that both awards are being made. The awards will be given annually in future in recognition of individuals who are deemed to have made a contribution in providing leadership for the general uptiftment of the people of South Africa. Ramaphosa and Meyer have been chosen for their tireless efforts in holding the negotiations process together during very arduous and difficult times. The rapport the two have struck has made a crucial difference as to whether the negotiations process flounders or goes forward. The two leaders are young and are likely to provide continuity and the excellent leadership that the transition period requires. Prof Mahanyele has provided bold imaginative leadership in the business world. He has placed black economic empowerment firmly on the agenda and has set his own company as an example of this. New Nation believes that it is business leaders like Prof Mahanyele who will ensure that black people reclaim their rightful place in the economic life of the country. The awards will be officially presented to their winners early in 1993. Democratic Party (DP) leader, Dr Zach de Beer, said: “The two (Ramaphosa and Meyer) have given all they could to get the negotiations process back on track... they deserve it.” The newly-appointed chief of the Development Bank of South Africa Prof Wiseman Nkuhlu said Prof Manyelele’s achievement would “serve as a model to other black organisations involved in economic empowerment”.

- Description: Pat Horn, Eunice Ntshangase and Sarah Nkunkwana attended the conference of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) in Geneva, Switzerland, in June. They were participating in discussions about international guidelines for the recognition and protection of home-based workers. These international guidelines were a Convention (which is legally enforceable by countries who ratify the Convention) and a Recommendation containing a number of additional proposals which are not necessarily enforced by law. The SEWU delegation was part of a group of women from different organisations in Homenet, the international body of organisations representing home-based workers which SEWU and SEWA from India both belong to. They had to lobby as many governments as possible to vote in support of the Convention. The South African government was one of those who supported it very strongly. The employers group at the conference fought very hard to stop the Convention being adopted, but in the end it was passed by a two-thirds majority vote. It was a victory for homeworkers, who have not been widely recognised in the past. Now the challenge is to get governments to ratify the Convention.

- Description: SEWU aims to organise women who are marginalised in our society and our economy. Some of the most marginalised women are those living in informal settlements, in peri-urban areas and in hostels (especially those living in men’s hostels). Many women from these types of areas have now heard about SEWU, and have started to join. We now have branches at the following informal settlements: Etafuleni outside Inanda, Ezimangweni, Mzomusha, Bhambayi and Umlazi CC (in addition to Besters, an older branch). We have two very active branches in the peri-urban area of Engonyameni, where people have resettled after they had to move out due to violence some years ago. We also have members in the following hostels: Umlazi T Section, Kranskloof Hostel at KwaDabeka, and Dalton Hostel in central Durban (apart from Thokoza Hostel where many of our Durban street vendor members live).

Nicknames as sex-role stereotypes

- Description: Nicknames are powerful indicators of attitudes towards gender categories and because of their transient and optional nature, it has been argued that they are more likely to show a closer relationship to ongoing trends in the culture and society than other more fixed parts of the language E. B. Phillips (1990) ["Nicknames and Sex Role Stereotypes," Sex Roles, Vol. 23, pp. 281-289]. This study reports on a survey of nickname usage among a group of South African adolescents from mixed socioeconomic backgrounds (approximately 25% other than white) in an attempt to explicate gender-linked trends in frequency of occurrence, usage and attitudes to such special names. It reveals that conventions regarding nickname coinage and usage are intimately connected to the gender of bearers and users, and that more males have nicknames and coin them than females; it also shows significant sex-linked differences in the linguistic sources and users of nicknames, and reveals a greater tendency for female nicknames to function as indicators of affection rather than for humorous or critical effect. It could be argued that these trends could be linked to the nurturing and nurtured role of females in society, and to the differences in social power generally between males and females.
