Description: In a paper entitled "Bacteria of the Soil", Dr. Russell of Rothamsted is quoted as saying, ”The top six lashes might almost be called a separate world? 80 great is the number and variety of its inhabitants”• It is with a few forms belonging to this enormous biological complex that the author intends to deal, viz*, representatives of the Orders Pauropoda, Symphyla, Protura, Coleoptera and Hemiptera. Time does not permit the inclusion of a study of the multitude of Arthropod, species that occur in the soil, but a more complete work on these soil groups is intended in the future. McCullogh and Hayes (1922,p.288) state that the soil is an integral factor In the study of biological problems. Hence an understanding of the organic life of the soil, which is of great importance in relation to the other aspects of pedology, is a necessary adjunct to the study of the soil ae a whole. , Thesis (MSc) -- Faculty of Science, 1941

Description: The past year has been a very dramatic one for TGWU. It has been a year of enormous growth in membership, and at the same time a year where we have had to deal with the traumas of numerous mergers (both into TGWU, and TGWU membership into other unions). We have had to endure the difficulties of being without a physical locality for our head office for three months (after the bomb attack on Cosatu House), and more recently the arson attack on our head office premises. In an attempt to cope with the growth of the union we have developed new structures, and have expanded our staff at all levels. The year has also of course been a very dramatic one for the trade union movement as a whole, and for Cosatu in particular. The two most serious features of this have been the restricting of Cosatu in terms of the State of Emergency (along with 17 other organisations), and the proposed Labour Relations Amendment Bill. TGWU has tried to address these issues with the seriousness and determined opposition that they deserve. As a result, the state has seen fit to clash with our members, as witnessed by the detention (and now trial) of our first vice president, Comrade Alfred Ndlovu, and at least 15 other TGWU memebers over the past year. Nine TGWU members are still suffering in the isolation and evilness of detention.

Description: In August, 3 Putco TGWU drivers and one unemployed man were sentenced to death in the Supreme Court in Durban. The judge said they were guilty of murdering another bus driver, Shezi, in November 1986. How did all this come about? The crisis started in October 1986. The traffic manager at Durban South Putco depot wanted to discipline a driver who was in an accident. But the manager did not follow the disciplinary procedure so workers lodged a grievance against the manager. The manager did not come to the grievance hearing.

Description: In reviewing the developments in T&G finances over the past eighteen months, we can safely say that T&G finances have certainly stabilized over the period. However, in case we get too excited at this news, a note of caution. While our income from subscriptions has steadily improved, due mainly to the Congress ’88 increase in rate (from R3 to R4); our expenditure has in relation also increased to the point that if we continue with our current expenditure pace of October ’89 and November 89, we will soon return to our previous problem of constant threat of bank overdraft! We are a long way off self-sufficiency and still rely heavily on our overseas funders for assistance in the areas of legal fees and our education programme. This report will focus on both the positive developments in T&G finances over these past eighteen months, as well as the problem areas which we need to seriously tackle from here!

Description: The last eighteen months have seen tremendous growth in Transport and General Workers Union. Numerically the union has grown from 26 000 signed up members to over 40 000 in the period under review. But it is not only in numbers that TGWU has grown. The period has been one in which new structures of the union have been built, and where new organisational direction has been sought in all sectors. The period has been one during which for the first time in four years, the union has not had to divert its attention to putting into effect complex mergers and transfers of membership. It has also of course been a period charged by major national political developments - from the passing of the Labour Relations Amendment Act in September 1988, to the release of seven ANC leaders from Robben Island in October of this year.

Description: We have entered the period of the 90's in our poitical, economic and social lives. We are facing the challenge of transfer of power into the hands of the people. The working class is part of the challenge that everyone will have to meet which is striving for a National Democratic Revolution. The working class must also shape political content by advancing its own class perspective through waging class struggle. TGWU is part of the broader liberation forces in South Africa. The political and economic crisis which we face challenges us to develop strategies with more determination and commitment than ever. In order to achieve what we stand for, it becomes an urgent necessity to look at ourselves openly and honestly and assess what we have done and achieved in the last sixteen months.

Description: In reviewing the 1990 financial year for TGWU (1 Jan 1990 - 31 Dec 1990) it is clear that the union was in an unstable financial position. The income from subscriptions was forever fluctuating. In most cases expenditure for this period exceeded the income from subscriptions. Our bank balance was, from time to time, in an overdraft situation. The union couldn’t be self-sufficient—and as a result, relied on foreign funding. This report will deal with both the income and expenditure for the said financial period.
