- Description: In 1991 and 1992, the NUM accepted basic wage Increases on the gold mines that were far below the annual Inflation rate because of the crisis in the industry. The priority of the union was to preserve employment. But this left the door wide open for rich mines (like Kloof, Elandsrand and Vaal Reefs) to hide behind the low increases that are set in the Chamber negotiations at levels that Freegold, Buffelsfontein and marginal mines can live with. The NUM decided that workers need a way of adding more money onto their wages If the mines can afford to pay more.

- Description: An in vitro permeation cell has been designed and validated for use in monitoring the transmembrane permeation of betamethasone 17-valerate. The design utilizes common laboratory equipment and incorporates as many beneficial features as possible from other designs. The importance of fully validating the hydrodynamic performance of the cell prior to experimentation is stressed. The cell was validated by monitoring the diffusion of betamethasone 17-valerate in isopropyl myristate solution into purified isopropyl myristate receptor phase at different temperatures, different agitation rates and through different synthetic and biological membranes. The results of the hydrodynamic validation agree with data from other researchers and show that the permeation cell is adequately sensitive to these experimental parameters. The results of the membrane evaluation allow appropriate selection of the barrier material for representative transdermal experiments to be conducted. While human and porcine stratum corneum/epidermis are similar in diffusive properties, hairless mouse skin appears to be the most convenient animal membrane for these studies. Although silicone and cellulose membranes appear to be useful in this application, porous filter membranes and egg-shell membranes are insufficiently discriminatory to betamethasone 17-valerate diffusion to provide useful in vitro permeation data.

- Description: This thesis deals with the ten years preceding Namibia's independence in March 1990. It examines the various characters and groups in this process, and how their roles delayed or promoted it. The era of Pieter W. Botha is very significant in that his rule brought many changes to the decision-making process and content of South African foreign policy. This period, 1978 - 1989, marked the formulation of the Total National Strategy in response to the Total Onslaught being waged on South Africa by perceived hostile external forces. Namibia's transition to independence suffered under this military-oriented policy as did the rest of the region. Never before in South Africa's policy-making history had the security sector played such a major role. Regional relations changed subsequent to the policy changes because of the distorted vision the Botha regime had of black-ruled states. Namibia was seen as an important pawn in the Total National Strategy as the last buffer state in Southern Africa protecting South Africa's white minority regime

- Description: The six papers which appear in this publication were delivered at a consultative conference of the National and Olympic Sports Congress which was held in Johannesburg from 1-3 November 1991. There is no doubt that this conference on development could not have been held at a more critical juncture in South Africa's history, particularly at a time when the country stands on the threshold of an era which is expected to usher in a non-racial, democratic society. Given the legacy of apartheid, development and preparation have become priorities for the National and Olympic Sports Congress. It was against the background of the inequalities and future projections for transformation of the sports network which brought delegates together from across South Africa and from all codes of sport and co-ordinating regional councils. A central theme of the papers is that the reconstruction of South African sport demands a national programme, one that would ensure progress towards an equitable sports structure but also one that would set realistic goals without raising expectations that are unlikely to be realised. A central challenge of the conference was the search for a suitable combination of high performance sport and mass participation. The gender question in sport also came under the spotlight. Sport's male-dominated, hierarchical and sexist structure was mandated for urgent review. Conference was told that black women have very few opportunities to participate in sport unlike white sportswomen and sports people overall. Five resolutions, aimed at transforming the present state of South African sport, were adopted at the conference. After exhaustive discussions delegates identified the broad themes to be: national development and planning, national sports policy, building one sports federation, sponsorship, rural areas, affirmative action and empowerment. Conference noted the absence of a co-ordinated national sports policy, the heavy commercialisation of sport together with the lack of vision and planning for the future of sport. In this regard it was resolved to intiate the acceptance and development of a national sports policy which would emphasise development, national identity and patriotism, democracy, accountability, non-racialism and non-sexism. If the conference deliberations are to be seriously implemented then the apartheid sports network will undergo structural changes which will develop the historically disadvantaged and unleash the suppressed talents of millions of people who are trapped in an unequal and resourceless system.

- Description: Teenage life is full of challenges.’ That’s what Ebrahim Abader from Cape Town thinks. He’s right. When you are young there is lots to learn and discover about yourself and the big world out there. It's exciting! But it can be a miserable time too. It is not easy to meet a challenge when you are worried about pimples, can’t do your maths and are suffering from a broken heart. You are special but you are not alone. Young people all over the world are probably going through what you are. Believe it or not your parents and teachers where once teenagers too. Ask them what it was like. There is a big challenge facing all of us, especially young people in South Africa today. We have to learn to live together; to accept differences and respect one another’s feelings and beliefs. It is called tolerance! Your parents, brothers, sisters, comrades, neighbours and friends have their own ideas. Listen to them with an open mind. In this issue you can read about a great school in Tongaat in Natal. Here students have learnt to forget about colour and together are discovering what real learning is all about. Meet Simon Nkoli. He knows what it’s like to be treated unfairly and to grow up feeling different and alone. So readers, speak out, listen, read and learn. That’s the way to get wise. That’s the way to meet the challenge of being a teenager in South Africa today. Some of you may be writing supplementary exams. Go for it - you can do it this time! We are holding thumbs.

- Description: Teenage life is full of challenges.’ That’s what Ebrahim Abader from Cape Town thinks. He’s right. When you are young there is lots to learn and discover about yourself and the big world out there. It's exciting! But it can be a miserable time too. It is not easy to meet a challenge when you are worried about pimples, can’t do your maths and are suffering from a broken heart. You are special but you are not alone. Young people all over the world are probably going through what you are. Believe it or not your parents and teachers where once teenagers too. Ask them what it was like. There is a big challenge facing all of us, especially young people in South Africa today. We have to learn to live together; to accept differences and respect one another’s feelings and beliefs. It is called tolerance! Your parents, brothers, sisters, comrades, neighbours and friends have their own ideas. Listen to them with an open mind. In this issue you can read about a great school in Tongaat in Natal. Here students have learnt to forget about colour and together are discovering what real learning is all about. Meet Simon Nkoli. He knows what it’s like to be treated unfairly and to grow up feeling different and alone. So readers, speak out, listen, read and learn. That’s the way to get wise. That’s the way to meet the challenge of being a teenager in South Africa today. Some of you may be writing supplementary exams. Go for it - you can do it this time! We are holding thumbs.

- Description: There are two sides to every story. You’ve surely heard that before. Well, it is true. Sometimes there are even three or four sides to a story. It depends how many people were there to tell the tale. Behind every story there is a writer. Behind a picture there is a photographer. And they are ordinary people, like you and me. They eat, sleep and play like the rest of us. Like us, they have their own ideas and feelings about the world. And these ideas show in their stories, books or photographs. So what you read is not the truth. It is someone’s version of it. Always read with an open mind. Be a detective when you read! Ask questions, think, search for clues and weigh up the facts. Then decide for yourself which story comes closest to the truth. You must have learnt about Christopher Columbus at school. Well there’s another side to that story in our article called ‘Who discovered America?’. Read it and decide what YOU think really happened. Upbeat writes a lot about young peoples’ experiences of growing up. There’s another side to being a teenager - being the mother of one. Nomasondo Hadebe openly shares with us the pain and joy of having teenage children. We don’t only learn from grown-ups or famous people (or both). Upbeat is full of stories about youth, their ideas and feelings about the world. By sharing experiences, problems and ideas we can learn from each other. So don’t miss our letters page, advice column and talkshop. Read what young people have to say. You can agree or disagree with their ideas. And when you close the magazine you may feel a little sadder, happier or angrier. But you will always be wiser

- Description: Conflict is OK. Violence is not! You can disagree with someone else’s views. But you can’t punch them! Conflict is a normal part of life. We are all different and want different things. As a result we often fight with the people around us - our family, friends and neighbours. You like rap but your boyfriend likes disco. You want to go out but your mom says stay at home. Every day Upbeat receives lots of letters from our readers. Many of the letters are about violence. There are stories about violence in the street and poems pleading for peace. There are letters seeking help in solving battles with boyfriends and parents. Readers tell us frightening tales about violence between gangs at school and students who hold different political views. The problem seems too big to solve. You may think our leaders should sort it out. But we can all do something to help build peace in our country. In this issue we start an exciting new series called ‘Be a peacemaker’. It is about how to tackle conflict without screaming, blaming or punching the person you are fighting with. Learn to be a peacemaker at home, school and in your community. YOU can make a difference. You can’t avoid conflicts in your life. But you can learn to 'fight fair’. Don’t forget! If you have ideas that you want to share or a story to tell - write to us. If you need advice on careers or sex education - let us know. Sometimes all it takes is a little bit of advice and information to make you feel better and get you on the move again.

- Description: Richard is in Std 9. He sits in the same row as Thabo and Mike. They are his great friends. Every day at break they sneak out the schoolyard to go and smoke dagga. Richard doesn't like smoking. He wants to say no. But he is scared his friends won’t like him if he does. He doesn’t want to risk that. These are his chommies! They all watch soccer together and share secrets about girls. Maybe you find yourself in Richard’s position. You are also too scared to say no to your friends. Try to be brave and stand up for yourself. Tell your friends that you don’t want to smoke, because drugs are harmful. You may be surprised to find that someone else in the group agrees with you. He was just too scared to say so. Or maybe your friends will cut you out. You’ll feel lonely for awhile but others will come to respect you. We all look up to people who make a stand. It is hard to go against your friends. But you must learn to do what’s right for you. Arm yourself with information. Read, listen and learn. Then make your choice. Upbeat is filled with important information to help you make decisions about your life. In this issue read why Prophets of the City say No to drugs. Don’t miss our hot debate on sex education. We’ve got information on AIDS. So tell your friends about it and help stop the disease spreading. We all love listening to music. But do you know how a record is made? Find out all about the recording industry on page 17. That will really impress your friends! When they look surprised and say ‘how do you know all that’, just say you read it in Upbeat. You’ll be a winner at parties.

- Description: Life often doesn’t turn out as you had hoped. The world isn’t always a fair place. Some teenagers I know, just accept their lot. Others work hard to make even small dreams come true. This issue is full of stories about young people. They are not pop stars, famous TV heroes or powerful leaders. They are ordinary people like you and me. But they have something in common. They are all determined to make something of their lives. Meet Patrick from Uitenhage, he’s a basketball player who’s off to Japan. Meet Nomnikelo, at 23 she’s a domestic worker. But she’s determined to become a nurse. There’s Lucky. He was forced to leave school in Std 4. He couldn’t find a job, but now he’s making money from scraps. Meet Lerata, she never believed in love. Then one day after a school debate. You’ll find stories about teenagers overseas too. Read about Hodan, Emadul and Van Lac. They are all struggling to start a new life in London. When we read about Lucky, Nomnikelo or Lerata, we can learn something. We admire the way they have got on with it, faced new challenges. But we can also learn from them - about ourselves. We all have it in us, to change our world and make the most of our lives. Enjoy reading!

- Description: Forte High School in Dobsonville, Soweto has closed down. Students told us what went wrong.'Schooling was normal until hostel dwellers started bothering us. They did not want students to walk past the hostel. But the hostel lies between our school and the township,' explains Thapelo Mohapi, a Std 8 student from Forte. Masego Sekelema was also a student at Forte. 'In March, the hostel dwellers attacked our school,' Masego said. 'Police came in. We thought they would stop the attack. But they shot teargas into the school. One of our students was seriously hurt.' So the principal of Forte called a meeting. At the meeting people agreed that Forte should close. Students' lives were in danger. Since then, Forte students have been attending school at three primary schools in Molapo. 'This arrangement is better than nothing,' said Florence Smith who is in Std 9. 'But we find it difficult to travel so far and it costs our parents money.'

- Description: Far away in Canada, young, disabled people 1 are getting together. Erinoak is a centre which helps young people with disabilities. A group of young people decided they wanted to speak for themselves. So they started the Youth Advisory Committee or YAC, as they call it. Upbeat spoke to Jennifer Thompson, a committee member of YAC. Jennifer is 19. 'I joined YAC two years ago,' said Jennifer.'YAC has made a big difference to my life. It helped me to make friends. People in the group gave me support and I got a chance to help others,' she said. YAC meets once a month. We asked Jennifer what they do. 'We organise social events for young people with disabilities. We show movies and help teenagers get together. We also have a newsletter. YAC has helped me to build self-confidence. It taught me what I am able to do. It has made me feel good about myself,' said Jennifer. Jennifer is not the only person who thinks that YAC is great. Annette Symanzik had this to say. 'YAC is a special group for me. It gives me a place where I feel I belong. At YAC I am able to talk to others who have different disabilities. I liked all the events YAC did this year, especially the fun fair, the dance and the panel discussion,' she said. GOING TO SCHOOL In South Africa disabled children attend special schools. But in Canada disabled children go to school with other children. Jennifer attended a local school from the time she started nursery school. 'I had no real difficulties at school,' Jennifer told us. 'The other kids at school were always great. I am glad I was integrated in the school system. But sometimes it is very hard to deal with people who have a negative attitude towards my disability,' she said.
