A SUPPORT GROUP PROGRAMME WITH INFORMAL CAREGIVERS TO PREVENT ELDER ABUSE
Authors: Ananias Janetta , Strydom Herman , Ellis Suria
Published: January 2018

The article aims to describe an evaluation on the effectiveness of a support group with informal caregivers of older people in an urban and rural community setting in Namibia. The support group programme equipped informal caregivers with knowledge on aging and caregiving. In addition, coping skills and support were offered to the informal caregivers. Standardised measuring instruments that assessed the outcome of the group at pre-test, post-test and postponed post-test were the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) and the Potentially Harmful Behaviour (PHB) scale. The Group Engagement Measure (GEM) assessed the group processes at the fourth, sixth and eighth group sessions. Results indicated that rural caregivers experienced more burden than urban caregivers. Generally, potential harmful behaviour has decreased significantly. Caregivers from the urban group were more engaged in the group process than the rural group. Support group interventions indeed contributed positively towards community care of older people.Â  Implications for social work practice are discussed.
FAMILY RESILIENCE FACTORS IN REMARRIED FAMILIES IN SOUTH AFRICA AND BELGIUM
Authors: Greeff Abraham P , Cloete Maria
Published: January 2018

The aim of this study was to identify and compare resilience factors in Belgian and South African remarried families. A parent and a child from 38 South African and 36 Belgian remarried families participated in the study, which was conducted within relatively the same time frame in the two countries. Participants completed a biographical questionnaire and six selfreport questionnaires. The results show differences and similarities in terms of the identified resilience factors between the two populations. The present study contributes to the growing body of literature related to family resilience, specifically within the context of remarriage â€“ a relatively new terrain within the field of family resilience research. Suggestions are made for the strengthening of these families.
STRENGTHENING SOCIALWORK PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT THROUGH EDUCATION CAPABILITIES
Authors: Keet Anneline
Published: January 2018

This research paper argues that universities can collaboratively generate productive spaces for social work students to develop as active citizens who can contribute to social transformation. For students to develop the ability to engage more inclusively with social reality, they need to engage with their own worldviews through a process of critical inquiry. Pedagogies that facilitate such critical investigations need to consider how such social realities, often characterised by challenging circumstances, shape studentsâ€™ identities through their intrinsic knowledge. This paper explores how these sets of knowledge resident within a cohort of 2013, second year social work students influence their understanding of social justice when engaging with diverse client populations and the influence of education to develop critical inquiry skills. A qualitative case-study design was used with thirty one participants selected through a purposive sampling method. Data were analysed through narrative analysis. The research findings can contribute towards deliberations around curriculum designs that facilitate nondiscriminatory social work practice.
PARAMETERS OF CONFIDENTIALITY IN CHILD PROTECTION ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Authors: Matthias Carmel R
Published: January 2018

It has been internationally recognised that alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is effective in many child protection cases. In the South African Childrenâ€™s Act, four ADR methods are applicable to child protection. It will be shown that a major weakness in the ADR framework in the Act is a failure to provide appropriate coverage on the crucial aspect of confidentiality. This article explores the tensions around confidentiality in ADR processes for both professional and family participants. Where participants fear that what they divulge during ADR is not confidential, they may be inhibited from being constructively involved. This can defeat the purpose of ADR. On the other hand, in child protection ADR a correct balance needs to be struck so that information essential for the further resolution of the case or for protecting persons from danger is communicated. How best to enable effective child protection ADR by creating an appropriate confidentiality framework is discussed in this article.
BIOGRAPHICAL FACTORS AND MOTIVATION TO CHANGE AS PREDICTORS OF THE TREATMENT OUTCOMES FOR ALCOHOL USE DISORDER
Authors: Barnaschone Melissa , Grobler Adelene
Published: January 2018

The aim of this study was (i) to explore the biographical (age, race, level of education and marital status) predictors of treatment outcomes for alcohol use disorder and (ii) to investigate the role of motivation to change as a predictor of treatment outcomes for this disorder. The participants consisted of 100 males (50 from each race group â€“ black and white). A biographical questionnaire and the Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SRQ) were employed as measuring instruments. This study demonstrates that a significant relationship exists between age, motivational aspects (introjection and amotivation) and treatment outcomes. These findings should have profound implications for the development of treatment plans and intervention strategies for alcohol use disorder, leading to an improved quality of life in South African communities.
THE CHALLENGES OF SCHOOL-BASED YOUTH SUICIDE PREVENTION: EXPERIENCES AND PERCEPTIONS OF MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS IN SOUTH AFRICAN SCHOOLS
Authors: Woolf Maryke , Bantjes Jason , Kagee Ashraf
Published: January 2018

Youth suicidal behaviour poses a significant public health concern. Mental health care professionals working in schools have an important role to play in youth suicide prevention initiatives, although little is known of the experiences of this group of professionals in low and middle income countries (LMICâ€™s). The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of mental health professionals working in South African schools and to document their insights, attitudes and beliefs regarding youth suicidal behaviour. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven school-based mental health care professionals and data were analysed using Thematic Analysis. Participants reported that they relied on a reactive strategy by responding to youths who were in crisis. They were challenged by a lack of support from faculty staff, a lack of access to resources, and heavy caseloads. Findings highlight the need for a proactive and collaborative approach to suicide prevention among mental health care professionals, teachers and parents in South African schools and improved training and supervision.
EVALUATION AND EXPLORATION OF THE PERCEIVED VALUE OF THE â€œHELPING DIVORCED PARENTS TO BENEFIT ADOLESCENT CHILDRENâ€ PROGRAMME
Authors: Basson Wilna
Published: January 2018

The aim of the study was to evaluate and explore the subjective experiences of parents who participated in the â€œHelping Divorced Parents to Benefit Adolescent Childrenâ€ enrichment programme. A qualitative approach with a phenomenological research design was followed. Participants were selected by convenience sampling and included twelve divorced custodial parents of adolescents who attended the four-week programme. Content analysis was done and themes were extracted from the data. The main themes that emerged from the interpretations were: Positive group experience (value of shared experience and support in the group context); Co-parenting challenges (relationship with former spouse remained challenging); Feelings of guilt and self-blame (for their childrenâ€™s post-divorce adjustment); Parentâ€™s own personal needs not met (causing frustration); Positive post-divorce and programme outcomes. The general evaluation of the programme was positive and recommendations to improve the programme were made. It was concluded that a group intervention programme for parents can contribute towards positive change in parenting adolescents after parental divorce.
AN EVALUATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED NATIONAL SOCIAL SECURITY BILL FOR LESOTHO: PART I
Authors: Mosito Kananelo
Published: January 2018

This article is about social security, which, in turn, is a subset of social policy. â€˜Social policyâ€™ is a term that is applied to many areas of policy, usually within a governmental or political setting (such as social services). This article critically evaluates the proposed Consolidated National Social Security Bill for Lesotho. It examines the general background to the proposed national social security scheme; the legislative framework for the proposed scheme; the governance and institutional framework of the scheme as well as the establishment of insurance funds and the financing sources of various funds. The evaluation is undertaken through the lens of social security perspectives and policy considerations.
The Constitutional Principle of Accountability: A Study of Contemporary South African Case Law
Authors: Okpaluba Chuks
Published: January 2018

â€˜Accountabilityâ€™ is one of the democratic values entrenched in the Constitution of South Africa, 1996. It is a value recognised throughout the Constitution and imposed upon the law-making organs of state, the Executive, the Judiciary and all public functionaries. This constitutional imperative is given pride of place among the other founding values: equality before the law, the rule of law and the supremacy of the Constitution. This study therefore sets out to investigate how the courts have grappled with the interpretation and application of the principle of accountability, the starting point being the relationship between accountability and judicial review. Therefore, in the exercise of its judicial review power, a court may enquire whether the failure of a public functionary to comply with a constitutional duty of accountability renders the decision made illegal, irrational or unreasonable. One of the many facets of the principle of accountability upon which this article dwells is to ascertain how the courts have deployed that expression in making the state and its agencies liable for the delictual wrongs committed against an individual in vindication of a breach of the individualâ€™s constitutional right in the course of performing a public duty. Here, accountability and breach of public duty; the liability of the state for detaining illegal immigrants contrary to the prescripts of the law; the vicarious liability of the state for the criminal acts of the police and other law-enforcement officers (as in police rape cases and misuse of official firearms by police officers), and the liability of the state for delictual conduct in the context of public procurement are discussed. Having carefully analysed the available case law, this article concludes that no public functionary can brush aside the duty of accountability wherever it is imposed without being in breach of a vital constitutional mandate. Further, it is the constitutional duty of the courts, when called upon, to declare such act or conduct an infringement of the Constitution.
Revisiting Section 81 of the Constitution: The Commencement Date of Legislation (Legislative Power) Distinguished from Promulgation (Legislative Process)
Authors: Wolf Loammi
Published: January 2018

Section 81 of the Constitution regulates promulgation through publication as part of the legislative process (ie, a procedural norm). The provision further creates a presumption that unless the legislature explicitly determines a commencement date in an Act it enters into force upon promulgation. The commencement date of legislation is thus part of the contents of a statute (ie, a substantive norm), which must be determined by the legislature when adopting the legislation. In a number of judgments, however, the Constitutional Court espoused the idea that the commencement date is part of the legislative process instead of being part of the contents of a statute. Thus it allowed the legislature to delegate its power to determine a commencement date for legislation to the president as head of state in transgression of section 44(1)(a)(iii) of the Constitution: this provision only mandates a delegation of core legislative powers to another legislative body. The confusion is partly due to an initial tendency of the Constitutional Court to interpret constitutional provisions in isolation and partly to the unconsidered re-importation of Westminster constitutiona common law. In the Westminster system a delegation of the power to determine a later commencement date for legislation (ie, after promulgation) to the executive and/or head of state was justified in terms of the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty. Parliamentary sovereignty, however, was abolished in 1994: such a delegation of power is no longer compromises legislative power and the separation of powers, but goes to the substance of the rule of law and legal certainty as foundational values of the constitutional state. Compatible with sections 44(1)(a)(iii), 55(2)(b)(i), 79 and 87 of the Constitution. Lately, the Constitutional Court even ruled that the power to determine a commencement date for legislation is an executive power, which is to be exercised in terms of sections 85 and 101 of the Constitution, although section 81 explicitly confers this power upon the legislature. A reconsideration of the Courtâ€™s interpretation of section 81 is therefore overdue: it not only compromises legislative power and the separation of powers, but goes to the substance of the rule of law and legal certainty as foundational values of the constitutional state.
The Inter-Relationship between Administrative Law and Labour Law: Public Sector Employment Perspectives from South Africa
Authors: Olivier Marius , Govindjee Avinash
Published: January 2018

The legal position of public sector employees who challenge employment decisions taken by the state or organs of state in its/their capacity as employer in South Africa has long been problematic. Even though at least four judgments by the Constitutional Court of South Africa have considered whether employment-related decisions in the public sector domain do or could amount to administrative action and whether administrative law and/or labour law should be applicable for purposes of dispute resolution, legal uncertainty remains the order of the day due to a combination of factors. The authors assess whether (and to what extent) the rich South African administrative-law jurisprudence remains of importance in relation to the public employment relationship, bearing in mind the applicable legal considerations, including the inter-relatedness, interdependence and indivisibility of the range of applicable fundamental constitutional rights. Considering the debate in other jurisdictions on this issue, the authors develop a paradigm for situating different employment-related disputes as matters to be decided on labour and/or administrative-law principles in South Africa. This requires an appreciation, to the extent relevant, of the unique nature public sector employment relationships and a detailed investigation of the applicable legal sources and precise parameters of the cases already decided in the country. The position of employees deliberately excluded from the scope of labour legislation is analysed, for example, as is the legal position of high-ranking public sector employees. The outcome of the investigation is important for determining the legal principles to be applied in cases involving public sector employees in their employment relationship, and for purposes of determining the question of jurisdiction. Recent cases, for example where the courts have permitted the state, as employer, to review its own disciplinary decision (via a state-appointed chairperson of a disciplinary hearing) on the basis that this amounts to administrative action which is reviewable, are also examined in the light of the uncertainty regarding the precise nature and scope of the review.

The Resurrection of the Indigenous Values System in Post-Apartheid African Law: South Africa's Constitutional and Legislative Framework Revisited
Authors: Ndima Dial Dayana
Published: January 2018

A constitution that recognises customary law in South Africa must prioritise indigenous African values in order to give direction to state institutions in their quest to mainstream the African worldview in legal interpretation. Its framework must ensure that the recognition of indigenous African institutions restores their cultural meaning which must, in turn, reflect custom and social practice as the roots for anchoring African concepts to their own frame of reference. In order to reverse the effects of cultural imperialism that generated the injustices of the past South Africa's constitutional framework must also serve as an injunction enjoining state institutions to choose the living version of African law as their point of departure whenever they respond to calls to pronounce upon issues of indigenous African jurisprudence. In the South African context this task must entail effecting a change in the role of interpretive institutions from their pre-constitutional culture of denigrating African culture under the alienating repugnancy dispensation towards refashioning African law with indigenous values as envisioned by the ethos of transformation. The extent to which the constitutional institutions can contribute towards rehabilitating African law from being the pole-cat of South African jurisprudence to a credible component of the country's justice system is the measure of their success in this difficult and unenviable mission. A clue to accomplishing this mission could be to develop a theory of re-indigenisation as a counterweight to the distorted jurisprudence that was developed by the discredited repugnancy clause of yester-year. Such a theory would persuade legal and constitutional interpreters to mainstream the African life-world to which to anchor the rules, principles, concepts and doctrines derived from the indigenous value system.
Cooperative Environmental Governance: At the Coalface of Sustainable Infrastructure Development in South Africa
Authors: Du Plessis AnÃ©l , Alberts Reece
Published: January 2018

In this article, large-scale infrastructure development is situated within the sustainability paradigm with an emphasis on questions about environmental impact. W hile the focus is on South Africa, the article contributes to the broader body of law and governance scholarship that deals with the complexity inherent in the search for infrastructure development that meets the demands of sustainability. The authors attend specifically to the role of cooperative environmental governance (CEG). They set out to explain the existence of and difficulty surrounding the legal duty of the South African government to pursue sustainability via its development-related decision-making processes. The prominence of the notion of cooperative government in South Africaâ€™s democratic government system is highlighted whereafter the authors evaluate the role of CEG in government decisions that they regard to be in need of an inclusive and holistic approach to sustainability. The difficulty inherent in marrying CEG with the pursuit of sustainability in large-scale project developments is explained with specific reference to the controversial Medupi and Kusile power station projects. In conclusion, the authors briefly outline the provisions of the 2014 Infrastructure Development Act and ask if and how the Act can cater for CEG through a limited environmental impact but can still adhere to the requirements that government decisions pass the tests of the Constitution and framework environmental legislation.

Mindful Leadership in Interprofessional Teams
Authors: De'Bell Keith , Clark Roberta
Published: January 2018

Large interprofessional teams are complex systems in which the expertise of the individual team members interact with the health situation and the external environment in the delivery of modern day health care. The need for coordinating leadership and the (dynamical) need for appropriate expertise to come to the fore involves a tension between the traditional role of the team leader as authority figure and the collaborative leadership preferred by individual team members in their field of expertise. Mindful leadership may provide the leader attributes that allow for and facilitate emergent team structures to meet system changes required in implementing patient and family-centred care. In this paper, we discuss the nature of these attributes and their implications for models of interprofessional teams.

SACRIFÍCIO DE ANIMAIS, PROTEÇÃO AMBIENTAL E LIBERDADE RELIGIOSA: UM DIÁLOGO POSSÍVEL?
Authors: Campos Carlos Augusto
Published: January 2018

O presente artigo se propõe a analisar em que medida a proteção à fauna pode ser imposta enquanto limite à prática de cultos religiosos nos quais ocorrem sacrifícios de animais. Advoga-se que a liberdade religiosa só tem sentido se compreendida como o direito não apenas de ter uma crença, mas de se determinar em razão dela, o que, evidentemente, não responde à problemática lançada, já no título, de maneira satisfatória. Neste diapasão, a pesquisa pretende identificar critérios minimamente seguros para uma interpretação constitucional adequada dos valores colidentes nos casos de sacrifícios de animais em rituais religiosos.
A História de Exclusão Social e Condenaçào Moral da Prostituição
Authors: Teodoro Maria Cecília Máximo , Silva Thais Campos
Published: January 2018

A partir de um relato histórico minucioso, este artigo se propõe a demonstrar a história de exclusão social e de condenação moral da prostituição. Optou-se por abordar a prostituição da mulher, tendo em vista ser este gênero o que compõe a grande maioria de trabalhadores desta atividade. Abordar-se-á a atividade da prostituição desde a sua concepção enquanto divindade à sua passagem esteriotipada pela bíblia, até chegarmos no século XXI e verificar as condições em que seu trabalho é prestado e julgado. Embora esta atividade seja considerada uma profissão, na medida em que faz parte do Código Brasileiro de Ocupações e possui código de recolhimento previdenciário, o relato histórico aqui apresentado traz à tona uma realidade histórica de exclusões no passado e no presente, alertando, assim, para a uma necessária mudança cultural, social, moral e, principalmente, jurídica, no sentido de se conferir dignidade a estas mulheres, tendo em vista os seres humanos que são.
Teria Dworkin Defendido o Ativismo Judicial?
Authors: Medrado Vitor Amaral , Noya Henrique Cruz
Published: January 2018

Ao contrário do que argumentam os defensores da autocontenção judicial, Dworkin não propõe uma invasão injustificada e antidemocrática do Poder Judiciário nos demais Poderes, mas uma nova forma de pensar a democracia. A teoria do direito como integridade é uma visão moralizante da atividade jurisdicional pela qual é possível compreender e explicar melhor o direito, sobretudo nos casos difíceis. Portanto, apesar de propor uma atuação pode poder judiciário centrada em preocupações morais e não subserviente aos demais poderes, Dworkin não deve ser considerado um defensor do ativismo judicial.

Kajian tentang pemeliharaan burung paruh bengkok di Maluku Utara telah dilaksanakan pada bulan April sampai bulan Juli 2012. Metode pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah survei dengan melakukan wawancara terhadap 800 responden rumah tangga di 2 kota di Maluku Utara, yaitu Ternate dan Tobelo. Sebanyak 28 pertanyaan diajukan kepada responden terkait kepemilikan burung, cara mendapatkan, cara pemeliharaan, alasan memelihara, serta persepsi terhadap perilaku memelihara burung terkait dengan kelestariannya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebanyak 13,6 % rumah tangga memelihara burung. Jenis yang paling banyak dipelihara adalah burung paruh bengkok, seperti kasturi ternate Lorius garrulus (68,2%), kemudian disusul secara berurut-urut kakatua putih Cacatua alba (10,1 %), nuri bayan Eclectus roratus (7,3 %) dan nuri kalung-ungu Eos squamata (16%), sementara jenis lainnya adalah nuri kepala hitam Lorius lory, serta bukan jenis paruh bengkok seperti julang irian Rhyticeros plicatus, merpati Columba livia, dan pergam kaca mata Ducula perspicillata dengan jumlah kira-kira sama. Alasan memelihara burung paling banyak adalah karena bisa menirukan kata (75,3%). Burung biasanya dipelihara dengan merantai kakinya di gantungan kayu (71%) dan pemelihara juga mencabut bulu sayap burung untuk mencegahnya terbang (34%). Rendahnya pengetahuan terhadap pemeliharaan burung berdampak pada tidak terpenuhinya kesejahteraan burung peliharaan dan rendahnya kesadaran terhadap kelestarian burung menjadi ancaman utama kepunahan burung di alam.Kata kunci: paruh bengkok, perilaku memelihara burung, Maluku Utara, wawancara(Parrot Bird-Keeping in North Maluku)Information of parrots bird keeping in North Maluku is available since the study has been conducted during April until July 2012.
