  • Description: The geology of southern Africa offers a rare opportunity to study the evolution of a segment of continental lithosphere because its rocks range in age from 3.6 Ga to recent, and over the last 200 Ma both the upper mantle and the crust have been sampled by Karoo and Tertiary volcanism and as xenoliths in kimberlite pipes.

  • Description: Unemployment has always been and still is a tricky problem for capitalists. On the one hand lots of unemployed workers make it easier for employers to keep wages low. But if there are too many unemployed workers then they might support moves for immediate and fundamental change in the society. Employers and the governments of capitalist countries have tried to solve this in different ways and at different times. But in most countries some income has been given to the unemployed for part of the time they have been without jobs. They have usually done this by providing some kind of benefits paid to the unemployed for a certain limited period of time. 1 lie fund from which these benefits are paid is usually controlled and administered by the government. However, there are many different ways that these benefits can lie financed. Before looking at what happened here in South Africa let us look at the problem of unemployment benefits generally in a capitalist state.

The National minimum wage reader

  • Description: Low wages are a cause of poverty. They are unjust and they lead to economic inefficiency. Low pay is not the result of "market forces" or of individual productivity. It is the result of the vulnerability of certain sectors of the workforce and the cost structure of low-wage industries. A National Minimum Wage is a practical solution that has been adopted in many countries. It is one of the demands of the Freedom Charter. The National Minimum Wage can be developed by COSATU as a powerful campaign tool in the fight for a living wage . The National Campaigns Conference, held in May 1990, asked the Living Wage Working Croup "to establish what National Minimum Wage should be suggested to develop a program of action to achieve a National Minimum Wage". The conference agreed that the level of the National Minimum Wage will be decided at the second National Campaigns Conference in August 1990. This reader pulls together all the documents and resolutions that have guided the Living Wage Working Group in its work on the National Minimum Wage.

  • Description: In this Bulletin we focus on the NUMSA and COSATU Congresses which were held in June and July this year. We also cover the National Peace Accord in some detail. In covering NUMSA’s Third National Congress we focus on the major points discussed and contributions from guest speakers. We report on NUMSA’s current membership and who the new Office Bearers are. We also produce in full the Resolutions that were adopted at the Congress. We report briefly on the discussions, debates and the resolutions that were finally passed at COSATU’s Fourth National Congress. Unfortunately for reasons of space, we have not been able to print the resolutions adopted at this Congress. Shop stewards are therefore advised to contact their NUMSA Regional Office for a copy of the Minutes, Speeches and Resolutions of the Congress, or to contact COSATU Head Office which is due to produce a resolutions booklet soon. Much has been achieved in the negotiations around a Peace Accord between the ANC Alliance, Inkatha Freedom Party and the National Party. The Accord is pages long and is very detailed. We have tried in this Bulletin to give an overview of its basic features. We hope the chart that goes with the article will help people understand the detail and complexity of it and why it goes much, much further than all previous Accords. The Accord has now been signed by most of the major parties on September 14. Watch the press for details of a new Act which is due to be passed within 30 days outlawing

  • Description: Southern African Journal of Gerontology; Produced within the framework of the Co-operative Research Programme on Ageing , The broad social issue of generational competition versus generational interdependence is discussed. The way elders are housed offers an excellent example of how benefits putatively allocated to older people in fact more often than not subsume benefits to family members of all ages. Data on generationally shared households from a number of countries and the results of recent studies from the United States are discussed in this context. Separate housing of generations is often preferred where feasible. Where economic, environmental. health, or social needs of either elder or young generations make autonomous households dysfunctional, members of each generation show in their household-formative behaviour their willingness to assist the other generation .

SASBO and Dishonesty

  • Description: In the early 1990’s when internal fraud, theft and dishonesty became an issue of major concern, SASBO members decided to state their position on all forms of employee dishonesty. They expressed the view that criminals should be rooted out of the finance sector, because, inter alia: People of low integrity have no place in finance. Criminals also defraud their colleagues. Reduced profits through fraud would mean lower pay increases. Criminals pollute the working environment and their actions cast suspicion on everyone around them. When crimes take place, innocent employees are accused of not exercising sufficient vigilance and are subject to disciplinary actions, including dismissal. The SASBO National Council, therefore, instructed their Union not to protect guilty personnel. Yet they believed that accused members should receive a fair hearing. As a Union representing the interests of employees in a highly vulnerable workplace such as that found in the finance sector, SASBO, then, had a duty to condemn staff defalcation and fraud in the strongest terms, and to play whatever role that was necessary in ensuring that offenders were removed from the system. The need for SASBO to have a documented policy on the handling of cases involving theft, fraud and dishonesty, when its members were accused of being involved, was obvious. Applying the above principles, and aided by its legal advisors, SASBO’s National Council, in September 1993, adopted the following policy on dishonesty:
