- Description: Government policy development and implementation is often designed to address different sectors of society in isolation, so social, economic and environmental issues are considered as being distinct from one other. Recently it has been acknowledged that 'working in silos' is not conducive for good governance and so efforts have been made for better co-ordination between different government departments and different spheres of government. Our research findings show the knock on effects of one problem into other areas of people's lives, highlighting why it is vital for policies and programmes to be far better co-ordinated. The different challenges and stresses that people face in their lives interact with one another in complex ways, undermining their capacity to cope with and adapt to future changes, such as those expected under climate change.

- Description: In July 1987, Eskom gave large wage increases, up to 35% for a general worker. General workers suffered a big fall in the buying power of their wages in the late 1970's but now their wages are higher than ever. The graph shows the buying power, also called "real wages", of wages from 1974 to 1987 for grade 1 and grade 5 workers at Eskom in the group 1 non-shift (national) category.

Is it the same word with workers. Perhaps, what is more important is to observe the provisions of the Act. It certainly brings about balanced playing fields between the business and labour movement. Unions are now allowed to organise and if necessary majority unions are now able to sign for a close shop. The majority union in a given place of employment has overriding rights and workers falling outside organised labour are not free of paying subscriptions, gone are days of labels such as ‘umdlwembe’ because all will be regarded as organised labour force. Workers have a legal status to strike which should be observed by employers, gone are the days of dismissing workers simply because they participate in the strike. We hope such a provision will stop union bash activities taking place in Kiley Baker, A C Doors and Transvaal Mattress Company.

- Description: In 2007, a former South African Defence Force (SADF) paratrooper, Marius van Niekerk, embarked on a journey to confront his shameful memories relating to his role in the Angolan Civil War. From Sweden (where he had gone into exile), Van Niekerk returned to Angola, where he had been deployed during the mid-1980s, and recruited three other veterans of the war to join his party: Patrick Johannes, who had been coerced to fight for the Popular Armed Forces for the Liberation of Angola (FAPLA); Samuel Machado Amaru, who was forcefully enlisted by the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA); and Mario Mahonga, who had fought for the Portuguese colonial army before he was recruited by the SADF to fight against the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) regime. Van Niekerk had been conscripted at the age of seventeen, and the others had been coerced into their respective militias at more tender ages. It is not clear how the three Angolans were induced to participate in the project, whose objectives they evidently did not share.

- Description: In Liberation movements in power, Roger Southall provides a rich and refined account of political transformation in three ex-settler colonies in southern Africa, namely, South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe. In particular, he focuses on their former hegemonic national liberation movements, namely, the African National Congress (ANC) in South Africa, the South West African People’s Organisation (SWAPO) in Namibia and the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) – now ZANU-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) – in Zimbabwe, their metamorphism into political parties and party machines, and their ‘capture’ of state power as the dominant political party subsequent to the end of white settler colonialism and the emergence of non-racial democracy. The general conclusion is that democratic ideals and procedures have become subordinated to the dictates of authoritarian restructuring.

- Description: A prominent vertical dolerite dyke, up to 30 m wide and which can be traced for over 100 km, is compositionally homogeneous along much of its length and shows no evidence of flow differentiation. Associated parallel dykes are compositionally distinct and are unrelated by closed-system processes. The main dyke has geochemical characteristics of the Maloti or Senqu Units in the upper part of the main Lesotho basalt sequence, whereas the parallel dykes are geochemically similar to the lower Mafika Lisiu Unit. On the basis of size and composition the main dyke may well represent a fissure which once fed effusions of Karoo basalt.

- Description: This ambitious book begins with the statement ‘By and large, the states of sub-Saharan Africa are failures’ (p. 1) and then sets out to explain state failure in Africa and to provide some ‘rational policy fantasies’ in response to this failure. The book builds on the work of scholars like Robert Jackson, William Reno and Jeffrey Herbst, with the particular focus of Englebert's book being on the domestic implications of the unconditional recognition of the sovereignty of African states. African states are internationally recognised despite lacking the features and not being able to perform the functions typically associated with statehood. Englebert's interest is to examine some of the domestic effects of this unconditional international recognition.

- Description: In this latest book, Graeme Turner, who we have come to know as a thoughtful, perceptive and questioning cultural studies theorist, investigates what the crucial underlying shift is in the relation between the media and the people. This shift is evidenced by the increasing visibility of ordinary people (and their experiences and opinions) in what we consume. At the outset he sums up what he sees as a structural move from media as ‘mediator or perhaps a broadcaster of cultural identities’ to ‘translator or even an author of identities’ (p. 3).

There are several ways of understanding the creative economy, often divided into the cultural and creative industries. Cultural industries are those whose major outputs have some symbolic value, such as fine arts, film and craft, jewelry design, publishing and fashion. Creative industries are defined more broadly as those that have knowledge as their major input. In addition to cultural goods and services, these include things like software design and internet services. UNESCO (2009) provides guidelines for defining the cultural and creative industries and the ways in which they can be measured, but there is currently no international consensus. Nor is there likely to be, since different countries will have very different levels of involvement and focus that may shape what information is useful, for example, for shaping policy.

- Description: Transdermal drug delivery is becoming increasingly important and for this reason it is clear that academia must ensure that current graduates are knowledgeable in all facets of topical drug administration. An in vitro diffusion cell experiment was designed to demonstrate the rate of release of propranolol hydrochloride (PHC) from three different topical vehicles: (i) an oil-in-water cream; (ii) a gel; and (iii) anointment. This experiment was performed by final-year students enroled in an undergraduate course on percutaneous absorption. In vitro release of PHC from the three bases to an aqueous receptor phase through silicone membrane was monitored spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 290 nm. By monitoring and attempting to explain the numerous possible reasons for the different rates of drug release from the three vehicles, it was hoped that the students would gain a better understanding of the complexities of transdermal drug administration. Overall, the experiment would appear to be a good model for student investigation into factors affecting the release of drugs from topical formulations.

- Description: In South Africa the majority of women workers are oppressed and exploited as workers,blacks and as women. Our resolution says that one of the key ways women can take up their rightful place as active members and leaders of our society is through active policies of affirmative action at the workplace and within our own organisations. The resolution calls on employers to work towards ending discrimination at the workplace as quickly as possible and for an end to discrimination within our own organisations.

- Description: UNTIL last month Fidelity Guards (FG) was owned by a very big transport company, the Rennies Group. FG workers live in an old mine hostel. This is how this rich company housed its workers. T&G NEWS went to the West Rand Fidelity Guards Hostel. 325 men workers live in this hostel. These workers come from many places like Transkei, Pietersburg, Qwa Qwa and Gazankulu. Their families cannot live with them in the hostel because there is no place for famines to stay. And women and children cannot come inside the hostel. No privacy The hostel was built early in the 1900s. It is dirty, old, broken down, smells bad, and everywhere flies buzz around. The hostel is far from shops and transport is difficult. There are no phones to speak to families and at Christmas often the FG office does not deliver telegrammes. In each room 16 workers live and sleep. Both day and night shift workers are in one room. This means there is always noise. For example, if a worker is off-duty he brings friends into the room to drink and talk. This wakes up other sleeping workers.

- Description: In the transition from apartheid to democracy, strong economic growth will be needed. This growth must succeed in overcoming the handicaps which apartheid imposed on South Africa. And it must bring higher living standards to the black majority, a reduction in absolute poverty levels, and a more equitable distribution of resources. The key to sustained and balanced economic growth is investment. Investment in productive capital must be greatly increased, and soon.
