Heelwat is al geskryf oor die kenmerke en gevolge van die Nasionale regering se apartheidsbeleid wat sedert 1948 sy beslag in Suid-Afrika gekry het, veral m.b.t. hoe dit Swartmense raak en steeds raak. In die laaste jare het ook meer publikasies verskyn oor hoe die beleid twee minderheidsgroepe in Suid-Afrika, die Kleurlinge en die Indiers, raak. Min aandag is egter al gegee aan die dryfvere of beweegredes agter die toepassing van die beleid van apartheid en die argumente wat gevoer is om besluitnemers te beinvloed in die besluite wat hulle geneem het. Die Burger het deur die jare 'n reputasie ontwikkel as die Afrikaanse koerant wat eerstens die meeste lewenskragtigheid toon en tweedens 'n vorm van deurdagte kommentaar oor politieke gebeure lewer wat dikwels dieselfde is as die wat in regerings-kringe gehuldig word. In 'n tyd wat min publikasies of instansies apartheid sou verdedig, het Die Burger hand aan hand met die Nasionale regering voortgegaan om dit te doen, maar terselfdertyd kriewelrigheid oor sekere aspekte van die beleid in meerdere of mindere mate openbaar. Desondanks sy verdediging van apartheid, het die koerant in die vyftiger- en sestigerjare die reputasie ontwikkel as 'n meer gematigde of 'verligte' ondersteuner van die Nasionale regering en ook daarin geslaag om wereldwyd hoog aangeskrewe te word in joernalistieke kringe. Die verwydering van die Kleurlingkiesers van die gemeenskaplike lys in die vyftigerjare word algemeen beoordeel as 'n negatiewe daad wat die Nasionale saak skade aangedoen het - 'n mening wat ook al in hoe Nasionale kringe geopper is. Om 'n goeie insig in die problematiek van die tyd te kry, is dit belangrik om ook die menings te bepaal van die koerant wat waarskynlik 'n reuse-rol gespeel het om die besluitnemers te beinvloed in die besluite wat hulle oor die Kleurlingstem en die konstitusionele stryd van die vyftigerjare geneem het. Die dryfvere of logika (indien enige) agter die Nasionale optrede kan 'n groot rol speel vir 'n beter verstandhouding van die era. Apartheid word vandag feitlik universieel veroordeel weens 'n verskeidenheid van redes wat reeds goed gedokumenteer is. Min aandag is egter al gegee aan wat mense beweeg het om die beleid toe te pas en dit steeds op 'n afgewaterde wyse toe te pas. Die kommentaar en optrede van Die Burger gee 'n goeie insig in wat die dryfvere was agter die verwydering van die Kleurlingkiesers van die gemeenskaplike lys. Dit blyk bv. dat die optrede nie net gemotiveer is deur naakte rassisme nie, maar dat faktore soos Nasionalisme en 'n bedreigings-persepsie 'n ewe groot rol gespeel het. Met hierdie werkstuk is dan hoofsaaklik gepoog om 'n lyn te probeer trek en die logika (indien enige) te probeer vasstel tussen Die Burger se propagering van die verwydering van die Kleurlinge van die gemeenskaplike lys in 1956 (In effek 'n vermindering van regte) tot die beroep vier jaar later op die Nasionale regering vir die oorweging van 'n beleld van reg-streekse verteenwoordiging van Kleurlinge deur Kleurlinge in die…

▼ The Uitenhage artesian aquifer north-west of Port Elizabeth in South Africa, is one of the few artesian groundwater systems in Southern Africa. The Uitenhage - Coega, and Kruis River areas, are the most important portions of the Uitenhage Artesian System in terms of water abstraction and water use. This study concentrates on the Uitenhage - Coega area and in particular, on the Coega Ridge where the Table Mountain Sandstone (TNS) aquifer occurs at relatively shallow depths. The investigation is aimed at assessing the geological, hydrogeological and hydrochemical characteristics of the HIS and any other aquifers present, with the object of providing quantitative data for use in future decisions on the water resource management of the area. In order to achieve these objectives, field work, involving a hydrocensus, geological mapping, geophysical exploration, drilling, aquifer testing and hydrochemical sampling was carried out. Analysis of these data provided information on the extent of the aquifers, their hydrogeological characteristics and the chemical nature of the various groundwater types.

▼ From Introduction: While companies in their initial stages may well produce only one product, most established companies produce a number of products. Reference can therefore be made to their product mixes which serve as their source of revenues and profits. The product mix must be carefully planned. Inherent in such planning is the monitoring of the mix to determine whether or not it strikes a good balance in terms of factors such as sales growth, sales stability and profitability. The product mix must be optimal vis-a-vis the opportunities and threats present in the external environment at any point in time. Since the latter changes over time, so too should the product mix change in order to maintain the required balance between the environment and the product mix, as well as the required balance in terms of sales growth, sales stability and profitability.

▼ Union Section of Rustenburg Patinum Mines is situated in the northwestern part of the Bushveld Complex, some twenty kilometres north of the Pilanesberg Alkaline Complex. The mining lease area covers a roughly triangular segment of Lower, Critical and Main Zone rocks, transgressed to the north and south by magnetite-bearing ferrogabbro of the Upper Zone. The Main Zone at Union Section is the focus of this study. The prime source of sample material for the study is the deep exploration borehole SK2, but additional, supplementary samples were collected on surface and underground, as well as from a second surface exploration borehole, SK4. In line with the recommendations of SACS (1980), the top of the Critical Zone, and therefore the base of the Main Zone, is taken to be the top of the Bastard Cyclic Unit. Sharpe (1985) suggested that the succession from the base of the Main is an isotopically separate entity Zone up to the Pyroxenite Marker from the rest of the Bushveld layered succession. This is not strictly true, as there is evidence that more than one parental magma was involved in the formation of this interval. It is, however, true that there are fundamental differences, particularly in isotopic makeup, between the Main Zone rocks below the pyroxenite Marker and those above (the latter having been assigned by Molyneux (1970) to subzone C of the Main Zone). Kruger et al. (1986, in press) suggested that the Pyroxenite Marker marks the base of the Upper Zone, and this convention is adhered to here. The implication of this is that the rocks which formerly constituted subzone C of the Main Zone are now considered part of the Upper Zone. The Main Zone rocks below the pyroxenite Marker were originally subdivided by Molyneux (1970) into two subzones, A and B. The results of the present study indicate that this subdivision is not justified. Instead, eight units have been distinguished in the Main Zone on geochemical, petrological and mineralogical bases. Each of these units is characterized by a coherent set, or progression, of chemical and petrological characteristics. The specific assignment of genetic connotations to these units has been deliberately avoided , at least until further studies of the Main Zone prove this to be justified. The demarcation of the eight units is illustrated in the composite diagram (Fig. 34) in the back pocket of this work, and the reasons for the subdivisions are listed in Table 6 (at the end of chapter 7 of this thesis). Until the late 1970's, it was thought that most layered cumulates formed by crystal settling (Wager and Brown, 1968). More recently, there has been a fundamental conceptual change, and many workers now believe that most cumulate rocks formed by in situ crystallization at the floor and walls of the magma chamber (McBirney and Noyes, 1979, Irvine, 1980a; Campbell, 1987). There is, however, some evidence for the physical separation of phases undergoing cotectic crystallization, particularly in the Upper Critical Zone and lower part of the Main Zone (Eales et al., 1986).

▼ This study lias initiated with the aim of identifying the existence of any geochemical criteria which may be used to distinguish between the various volcanic formations within the Witwatersrand triad. The Witwatersrand triad comprises three sequences: the Dominion Group at the base, the Witwatersrand Supergroup in the middle, and the Ventersdorp Supergroup at the top. It is underlain by Archaean basement rocks, and covered by rocks of the Transvaal sequence. The Dominion Group consists of the sedimentary Rhenosterspruit quartzite Formation at the base, overlain by a bimodal component of the Syferfontein Porphyry succession of lavas. Basaltic lavas are the major component of the Rhenosterhoek Formation, while the overlying Formation consists primarily of dacitic porphyries. Intercalations of one lava type within the other are common, however, so each formation is not the exclusive domain of only one lava type. The Witwatersrand Supergroup, a predominantly argillaceous and arenaceous sequence, contains two narrow volcanic horizons, one of wbich, the Jeppestown Amygdaloid (now Crown Formation), consisting of tholeiitic andesites, occurs in the study area. The overlying Ventersdorp Supergroup has, at its base, the basaltic Klipriviersberg Group, of which four out of six formations are present in the study area, namely, the Alberton, Orkney, Loraine and Edenville Formations. This group is succeeded unconformably by the PIatberg Group, consisting of the sedimentary Kameel doorns Formation, followed by the (informal) Goedgenoeg, Makwassie Quartz Porphyry and Rietgat Formations. The Goedgenoeg and Rietgat Formations are basaltic, whil e the Mawassie rocks range from basaltic to dacitic, the majority being tholeiitic andesites and andesites . The Pniel sequence at the top of the Ventersdorp Supergroup consists of the sedimentary Bothaville Formation, and the Allarridge Formation, the lavas of which are basaltic with some andesitic tendencies. A well-defined geochemical stratigraphy was found to exist. From the eleven volcanic formations examined, nine distinct geochemical units emerged, as the Loraine and Edenville Formations were found to have the same geochemical characteristics, as did the Goedgenoeg and Rietgat Formations. Despite having undergone law-grade greenschist facies metamorphism, very clear variation patterns with height are displayed by the immobile elements Ti, P, Kb, Zr and Y, and the light rare earth elements La, Ce and Nd. In contrast, much scatter was observed in the variation patterns of Na, K, Mn, Ba and Rb. Three techniques were employed to effect discrimination between formations - orthosonal discrimination, interelement and ratio vs ratio plots, and discriminant analysis. Confidence limits placed on normal probability plots served to isolate outlier samples for further examination by the various discrimination techniques. A successful test of the efficacy of the discrimination techniques was afforded when fourteen samples from an unknown succession were positively identified as representative of the…

▼ The investigation aims at examining the effects of exposure to civil. violence on 304 'black' and 'white' children's evaluations of violence whilst controlling for gender and socio-economic status differences. The study tests the hypothesis that children exposed to civil violence tend to accept the use of violence towards all authority figures. The rationale behind comparing black and white children lies in the phenomenon that civil "unrest" has been. concentrated in black areas in Greater Cape Town and media,restrictions have further insulated whites from this violent reality. The instrument employed to measure these children's evaluations of violence describes 8 incidents, each involving the use of violence either by an authority figure against a child or vice-versa. The authority figures include a policeman, soldier, parent and teacher. A ninth incident involves the use of violence by a husband to a wife. The children were requested to rate each scenario according to its degree of 'wrongness'. Data were analysed by statistical procedures. No differences between gender or socio-economic status were yielded. Comparisons across race were inconclusive although black children were significantly more accepting of a child's violence to a soldier, a finding attributed to the role of the SADF in the "unrest". In general most children in the sample condemned the use of violence, but condoned the use of physical force by teachers and mothers. An overwhelmingly high frequency of corporal punishment in the classrooms was evident, with children generally accepting this. While no definite findings regarding the influence of civil "unrest" on children's evaluations of violence emerged, the politicisation of children was evident in some findings. Violence and evaluations thereof emerged as context-bound, involving the ideological and political views of the respondent. Findings raised doubt around the validity of traditional tools, such as the instrument employed in this study, as measures of ideologically bound concepts such as violence.

▼ A proposal to develop the Upper Tugela Location in KwaZulu, Natal, prompted this study. This study aims to investigate the means to enhance the availability of, and access to, affordable energy sources in the Upper Tugela Location. A further aim is to match appropriate energy sources with the socio-economic conditions prevailing there. The Upper Tugela Location is an ecologically sensitive area of the Upper Tugela catchment. Rural energy planning has been criticized for the development of energy-conversion technologies while there is insufficient understanding of energy procurement practices in rural subsistence economies in South Africa. Qualitative information gained from a questionnaire survey, informal group discussions and direct observations suggest that the inhabitants of the Upper Tugela Location are relatively poor. For this reason a basic rural energy needs approach, which attempts to address the needs of the poorest, has been adopted to provide a theoretical base for the study. Research has revealed the following. Wood is the dominant energy source in the Upper Tugela Location. It is estimated that the annual household consumption of fuelwood is 3000 kg which is below the average fuelwood consumption for a rural area in South Africa. This reflects that this resource is being depleted to the degree that the local inhabitants are supplementing their use of fuelwood with expensive commercial fuels such as coal and paraffin. Locally available wood is in short supply, particularly in densely populated areas of the Upper Tugela Location. Most people are buying fuelwood from Natal farmers living on the borders of the study area. This results in an economic leakage from the Upper Tugela Location and dependence on extralocally available sources of energy. There appear to be few attempts to establish woodlots at present in the Upper Tugela Location. Equitable access to local supplies of wood are curtailed. Renewable sources of energy such as thermal and photovoltaic solar energy, micro-hydro and wind generated power, and afforestation have been investigated as have non-renewable sources of energy such as grid electricity and commercial fuels. It is concluded that no single technical option adequately addresses the energy needs of the inhabitants of the Upper Tugela Location. Most of the renewable sources of energy, except wood, are too expensive for subsistence economies and can be unreliable as they are still at the developmental stage. It is recommended that electricity from the national grid should be made available to those who can afford it. The means to improving the distribution of commercial fuels in the Upper Tugela Location should be addressed. Woody biomass management and agroforestry programmes provide the best options for an energy strategy for the Upper Tugela Location as they are inexpensive, require little maintenance, are sustainable and reliable, and serve conservation requirements at the same time.

The investigation reported in the thesis concerns an area south and west of Graaff-Reinet, in the Cape Province. The research projec t identified the existence of four groundwater units. The aquifers predominantly occur in Beaufort Group sediments and the boundary of each unit is formed by dolerite intrusives or with topographical highs. The objective of the study was to quantitatively assess these units in terms of both quantity and quality for possible future development as a municipal supply for Graaff-Reinet. In order to achieve the objective, fieldwork was carried out involving a hydrocensus, geological mapping, drilling, aquifer testing and hydrochemical sampling. The analysis of these data revealed that the Sundays and Kamdeboo aquifer units are unsuitable for further development.

▼ The aquifer of the study area occupies an escarpment and low lying limestone plain, and exhibits a Vaal River type karst. The four dolomitic formations present fall into two distinct aquifer forming types; chert poor units and chert rich units. The chert poor units of the Oaktree and Lyttelton Formations were deposited in a subtidal environment and were probably dolomi tised in a migrating schizohaline environment during basin subsidence and shoreline trangression. The chert rich units of the Monte Christo and Eccles Formations were deposited in the shallow subtidal to supratidal zones and the interbedded chert and dolomites may result from minor cyclical marine trangressions and regressions or be a geochemical response to the periodic flooding of freshwater carbonate and flats and tidal deltas. These fundamental geological differences are reflected in correspondingly different development of karst. Transmissive zones in the chert poor units are generally discrete solution features in massive dolomite, 1 m to 2 m thick. Transmissive zones in the chert rich units comprise thick (up to 60 m) and extremely weathered chert with a high void content resulting from the dissolution of carbonate material. The relative importance of various geological features to the development of the karst was assessed using information from two extensive hydrogeological investigations of the area. From the results it bas been concluded that lithostratigraphy, including the occurrence of palaeokarstic horizons, is the major control of aquifer properties. All other geological features are of lesser importance but may nevertheless be associated with enhanced transmissivi ties in any given unit. Faults and lineaments are the structural features most widely associated with highly transmissive zones. The knowledge gained in this study is applicable elsewhere as the principal hydrogeological characteristics of the study area are common to many of the Chuniespoort Group aquifers in the Pretoria - Witwatersrand - Vereeniging Region.

▼ SUMMARY The researcher was primarily concerned with the socio-economic importance of technical education for the South African Indians in the 1980's. His interest was aroused because of the outlook of pupils and parents towards technical education in the 1970's when the system of differentiated education saw the introduction of Industrial Arts in the school curriculum. Indian secondary schools were equipped with modern workshops and supervised by qualified teachers. However, too few pupils elected to study Industrial Arts subjects then. A preliminary investigation by the researcher at that stage revealed that parents were generally not encouraging their sons to pursue technical subjects at all. The general feeling among Indian parents was that Industrial Arts subjects were devoid of intellectual value, that these subjects were inferior and suitable only for the delinquent, the lazy and the retarded certainly not for their children. The technikon was frowned upon as a tertiary institution. In short, parents and pupils were far too academically orientated and regarded technical education and vocational training as second rate and inferior. However, several factors gradually brought a change in the attitude of the community towards this type of education. The economic recession, the almost complete lack of job opportunities, and the difficulty of the student securing a place at the university, (tightening entrance requirements) meant that both parents and pupils were re-examining subjects critically. Presently, greater numbers of pupils are selecting Industrial Arts subjects. Even the Indian female pupils are now studying Woodworking and Metalworking. Economically, the technical subjects can pave the way to many careers. Socially, the pupil who studies technical subjects, has no fear of being looked down upon since the outlook of the community has changed. Parents in the higher income group, for example, those living in Reservoir Hills, had similar expectations for their sons as those parents from the lower income group living in areas such as Phoenix, Chatsworth or Merebank. The status of the technical subjects had been improved in the eyes of the community, due mainly to the tight economic situation. An accelerated and diversified expansion programme has been embarked upon by the Planning Section of the Department of Education and Culture (House of Delegates) to accommodate the rise in pupil numbers in the technical field. Four technical colleges and a secondary technical school are in operation presently, with more being planned. The Planners are aware that the school systern must provide both knowledge and skill components and they have realised that for too long the system over-emphasised the knowledge component because the major purpose of schooling was to direct the pupil towards the university. Very little attention was given towards satisfying the needs of industry and commerce. The pupil, as he develops, must have a basic understanding of the electrical,… Advisors/Committee Members: Strauss, S (advisor).

▼ The Pletersburg greenstone belt Is located In South Africa, about 300 km northeast of Johannesburg. It hosts a significant amount of gold mineralization and just over 1000 kg of gold have been produced from Its various reefs and secondary deposits. The greenstone belt is interpreted as an Archean ophiolite complex. It comprlses a volcano-sedimentary succession (the Pletersburg Group) which Is subdivided Into a basal greenstone sequence, interpreted as oceanic crust, and an upper sedimentary cover sequence. A number of major shear zones, which are thought to represent thrusts that developed during the subduction of the greenstone sequence, form an integral part of the stratigraphy . Four stages of deformation (D₁-D₄) and four phases of metamorphism (H₁-H₄) (three of which are correlatable with the peak stages of deformation) are recognized. The primary gold deposits are all shear zones related. but they are subdivided into greenstone, sedimentation and granIte-hosted types. Geographically, they occur In three distinct goldfields: Eerstellng, Roodepoort and Marbastad.

The study aims to portray the way of life and culture of the Modern Orthodox and Ultra Orthodox sectors of Johannesburg Jewry. It strives to show how this is translated into educational systems, and examines the attitudes and values of pupils at Johannesburg Jewish religiously orientated schools both towards their own education, as well as towards elements of Jewish and secular culture. An overview of Johannesburg Jewry is presented, and Jewish educational systems in Johannesburg are outlined. Although much of the study is descriptive and ethnographic, the focal point is the statistical analysis and discussion of the responses to a questionnaire which was administered to 159 pupils of four religiously orientated high schools. An overriding conclusion is that the samples exhibit a common pride in their Jewish heritage. The general level of religious practice and belief of the pupils of each school corresponds with that subgroup of Johannesburg Jewry with which the school is aligned. Thus the Ultra Orthodox are more comprehensive in religious practice than the Modern Orthodox. The level of religious practice of the pupils often exceeds that of their parents. This implies that the schools are, in certain cases, operating contra parentem.

▼ One of the most significant and yet least studied developments of late eighteenth and early nineteenth century Cape Town is the emergence and growth of a muslim community. So dramatic was this process, that by the end of the period of slavery, well over two thirds of the town's non-European population were considered to be members of this community. Yet this process has largely been regarded, in such studies as do exist, as one of only marginal significance to the unfolding pattern of struggles that characterise this turbulent and brutal period of Cape Town's history. This lack of serious research stems largely from the nature of prevailing conceptions, which have tended to characterise both Islam and the muslim community as ostensibly cultural phenomena; culture being defined in its narrowest sense. Denied its political and ideological significance, the process of Islamisation is reduced to the point where it is regarded only as a quaint and colourful anachronism, adding a touch of spice to the cosmopolitan nature of the town. This thesis, however, takes as its point of departure the rejection of the notion that the development of Islam in Cape Town can be meaningfully understood in these terms.

Batteries of exercises requiring visualization in three dimensions were administered to more than 900 freshmen engineering students at the University of Cape Town in 1983, 1984 and 1985, and at the Cape Technikon in 1985. They were found to be consistently powerful predictors of performance in the midyear and final first year engineering drawing examinations. The cultural populations under consideration consisted of students classified by statute as "Black", "White" and "Coloured". By law most pupils in each ethnic group are educated within separate education systems in South Africa. Cultural differences existing between ethnic groups tend to be reinforced by these three different education systems and by socio-economic classes which tend to be distributed along racial lines. Although individual students with gross spatial disabilities were identified in all three ethnic groups, the cross-cultural study carried out in this investigation illustrates the significant differences in the mean performances of students emerging from the three different education systems both in the spatial batteries and in the first year engineering drawing course at UCT. These differences are discussed in terms of language problems, educationally disadvantaged backgrounds and cultural differences. The spatial batteries were found to be the best predictors of engineering drawing examination results at tertiary level irrespective of cultural group, and are proving to be particularly useful for identifying students urgently in need of special academic support in engineering drawing right from the commencement of their course.

This thesis is primarily an examination of petty crime and law enforcement in Cape Town in the period 1825 -1850. This period was one of fundamental change in terms of the spatial and demographic growth of Cape Town, the diversifying economy and the changing legal status of firstly the Khoi and subsequently the slaves. These developments had significant ramifications on the level and nature of crime, and perceptions of crime and criminals. The creation of a technically 'free' population and the transition from slave to wage labour engendered a great deal of alarm among Cape Town's dominant classes. That they felt their dominance and hegemony threatened by the potentially challenging White, Khoi and Black under classes, entailed a re-assertion of their power. Control mechanisms instituted in response to this included the abortive Vagrancy Ordinance of 1834, the Masters and Servants' Ordinance of 1841, a revamped police force in 1840 and varying social control stratagems. These were all designed to bolster the power of the dominant classes and mould a pliable labour force inculcated with the morality of the dominant classes. The under classes proved very adept at side stepping the imposition of control. In this they were often unwittingly aided by the grossly unprofessional and incompetent police. The ascendancy of the dominant classes, however, was temporarily frustrated but never totally checked. Similar studies of crime and law enforcement in 19th Century Britain have greatly informed the manner in which this thesis was tackled, but the nature of the source material in Cape Town has necessitated a somewhat different approach. The incomplete nature of the Court Record Books meant that a statistical analysis was impossible. More fruitful data were the letter books of personnel and institutions involved in the running of Cape Town; the Superintendent of Police, the Attorney-General, Resident Magistrate and the Municipality. For more general attitudes letters to and editorials in the local press proved to be an invaluable key to an understanding of the mores and perceptions of the dominant classes.

▼ Die langtermynaard van 'n investering noop die voornemende investeerder om meer omsigtig te beplan as in die geval van 'n belegging wat gewoonlik oor 'n korter termyn strek. Die voornemende investeerder moet besef dat 'n investeringsbesluit nie in isolasie van eksterne faktore geneem kan word nie. Dit is daarom raadsaam dat die voornemende investeerder hom deeglik van die makro- en mikro ekonomiese milieu waarbinne die investering beoog word, sal vergewis. Ten einde die kompleksiteit van investeringsbesluitneming op te helder, word daareerstens in hoofstuk 1 op die begrip van investering gekonsentreer. Voorts word die beginsel dat die investeringsbesluit nie in isolasie geneem kan word nie, beklemtoon. In hierdie opsig word daar veral na die determinante van investering gekyk. In makro-ekonomiese verband word die gedagte sterk beklemtoon dat investering nodig is om kapitaalvorming te laat plaasvind wat op sy beurt een van die vereistes is om ontwikkeling te bevorder. As gevolg van meningsverskille ten opsigte van die invloed van investering in ontwikkelde teenoor ontwikkelende lande is daar gevolglik aandag aan enkele ekonomiese groeimodelle gegee. Gesien uit die oogpunt van die daarstelling van 'n konsessiepakket om streeksekonomiese ontwikkeling te stimuleer, is die huidige konsessiepakket met die determinante van investering vergelyk. Daardeur word die kwessie aangeraak of die konsessiepakket weI die teoretiese determinante van investering in ag geneem het. Die belangrike vraag of die nyweraars self met die konsessiepakket tevrede is, word in die empiriese studie behandel. Die langtermynaard van 'n investering sal die weldeurdagte investeerder dwing om 'n verdere determinant, naamlik die land as risikofaktor deeglik in ag te neem. Met hierdie veronderstelling word daar in hoofstuk 2 na die land waar die investering oorweeg sal word, naamlik Suid-Afrika gekyk. Daar word veral aan die ekonomiese ontwikkeling van Suid-Afrika aandag gegee. In hierdie opsig word die ongelyke verdeling van inkome wat gedurende die jare al hoe meer beklemtoon is, bespreek en word daar na owerheidspogings gekyk om die probleem op streeksvlak teen te werk. Hierdie owerheidspogings konsentreer helaas op die daarstelling van 'n streeksekonomiese beleid wat moes meehelp om die geografiese verskille in die verdeling van inkome teen te werk. Die streeksekonomiese beleid het gestalte gekry in die vorm van 'n konsessiepakket wat dan ook in hierdie hoofstuk bespreek word. Aangesien die konsessiepakket daarop ingestel was om nyweraars na gedesentraliseerde gebiede te lok, is dit 'n voorwaarde vir die sukses van streeksekonomiese beleid dat nyweraars wat gedesentraliseer het met die konsessiepakket tevrede moet wees. Die navorsingsmetodiek wat gevolg is om hierdie vraag te probeer beantwoord word in hoofstuk 3 bespreek. Daar word in hierdie hoofstuk na die onderwerp, die hipotese, die vraelys en die beantwoordingsmetode gekyk. Hierdie hoofstuk dien dus as 'n skakel tussen die eerste twee hoofstukke wat hoofsaaklik oor die normatiewe en teoretiese…

▼ A number of issues in the thesis need to be clarified and will be discussed individually below. The term Third World, which is used in the thesis to describe developing countries in a disadvantageous economic position in relation to developed countries, is unsatisfactory. It is a collective term which combines countries with dissimilar cultures, ideologies and future prospects into one category (De Souza & Porter, 1974). Debate continues whether South Africa can be classified as a First or Third World country (Fair, 1982). Rogerson & Beavon (1980) indicate that South Africa can be described as dichotomous because it reflects characteristics of both First and Third World countries. In comparison De Souza & Porter (1974,1) include South Africa among the Third World countries, because four-fifths of the people have an income that is six times less than the income of the other fifth, and they live in a condition of underdevelopment. Conditions in Fingo Village resemble those described by De Souza & Porter (1974) and hence the results of the Fingo Village survey are compared with similar studies, elsewhere in the Third World. However, it would be naive to assume that Fingo Village is unaffected by development within the core regions of South Africa, which in many instances epitomize the First World. The term informal sector, used throughout the thesis, is also unsatisfactory, and debate continues as theorists attempt to find a more appropriate term. Santos (1979) indicates that the term informal sector is contentious, by placing it in single quotation marks. From the literature survey it emerged that the majority of authors did not follow Santos' convention (1979) and thus it seemed acceptable to use the term, informal sector, without placing it in single quotation marks. Chapter Two deals in-depth with the problem of defining the informal sector, and a working definition for the Fingo Village survey is presented in section 2.4.1. The informal sector embraces a wide diversity of economic activities. Due to the limited time and funds available, it was decided to isolate one aspect of this sector, namely, hawking. Sections 2.3 and 2.7 of Chapter Two indicate that hawking is an exemplary informal sector activity. All the different hawking types could not be given close attention and therefore, for practical purposes, it was decided to select one facet of hawking, namely, fruit and vegetable hawkers. Mobile fruit and vegetable hawkers were excluded from the study as it was impossible, during the mapping survey, to isolate a specific hawking site for each mobile hawker. Furthermore, a mobile hawker could easily be enumerated on more than one occasion, and hence a margin of error would automatically occur in the study. This was another reason for excluding mobile hawkers from the study and merely focusing upon static and semi-static fruit and vegetable hawkers. It is difficult to collect comprehensive quantitative data on informal sector activities (Preston-Whyte et al, 1984). The interviewer has to gain the confidence and…

23. LANIER, WILLIAM PAUL. MICROSTROMATOLITES FROM THE 2.3 G.A. TRANSVAAL SEQUENCE, SOUTH AFRICA (STROMATOLITES, MICROFOSSIL, CHERT).
▼ A unique assemblage of in situ microstromatolites, articulated intraclastic microstromatolites, and disarticulated stromatolites has been identified from drill cores of the 2.3 G.a. Transvaal Sequence, South Africa. These structures occur in organic-rich lenticular and nodular replacement black cherts which are associated with early diagenetic dolomite. Petrographic evidence indicates that the chert has formed via a primary carbonate and organic matrix – partial dolomitization – silicification paragenetic sequence; and that dolomitization and silicification were closely contemporaneous diagenetic events. Microstructures which resemble three dimensionally preserved microfossils are found in the majority of the silicified Transvaal cores. These fossil-like microstructures can be grouped broadly into three morphological types: (1) filaments, (2) ovoid or spheroidal forms, and (3) bacteria-like microstructures. Certain of the filamentous forms which are associated with pyrite mineral grains are clearly of abiological origin, and their formation can be explained in the context of sedimentary diagenesis and mineral paragenesis. The three dimensional association of the ovoid and bacteria-like microstructures to the microstromatolites is such as would be predicted from studies of modern cyanobacterial/microbial mat ecosystems. Hence, these microstructures are considered to be potential microfossils. The Transvaal microstromatolitic materials represent some of the smallest stromatolites yet described from either Proterozoic or Phanerozoic sedimentary rocks. Nearly all of the basic stromatolite growth forms (i.e. columnar, bulbous, nodular, and stratiform) are represented in the Transvaal assemblage. Thus, stromatolite diversity at the "basic growth form" level apparently did not evolve through geologic time. Physical and chemical environmental parameters probably controlled stromatolite morphogenesis only to the extent that they influenced the steady state balance of microstromatolite microbial communities. Indirect evidence suggests that the Transvaal microstromatolites grew via the precipitation of primary carbonate at some level within the structures and that a correlation exists between the degradation of primary producer organic carbon and the precipitation of a structurally supportive carbonate mineral matrix.

▼ As part of a development programme in the Moretele II District, the Government of the Republic of Bophuthatswana, commissioned in 1983 the building of a dry system coal-fired power station. The lack of local surface water to cool the power station resulted in a decision to investigate the potential of the ground water resources. The resources will be required to supply an anticipated 30 year water demand. Because of the high capital investment and the importance of establishing an accurate assessement of the ground water potential there was a need for a comprehensive and detailed hydrogeological study. The specific aim of the investigation is to assess and quantify the long term reliability of the ground water resources. The very limited data for the area necessitated a particularly thorough and detailed investigation. This thesis describes the hydrogeological investigation carried out to define the ground water resource potential of this area. The main objectives of the study are to identify, recognize and evaluate the hydrogeological processes operating on this previously ill-defined Karoo aquifer. To achieve the research objectives the hydrogeological investigation was formulated to make use of various traditional geological, hydrogeological, geophysical and hydrochemical techniques in a logical framework. More specifically, the work involved a hydrocensus, a geophysical survey, the drilling of exploratory boreholes, aquifer tests to determine the intrinsic hydraulic parameters, water level measurements and the collection and analysis of water samples. The combined results of these various techniques provided data to quantify, evaluate and then propose management strategies for the identified resources. The study provided an understanding of the local hydrogeological conditions and has allowed for a conceptual model of the aquifer system to be derived Advisors/Committee Members: Stone, Andrew.

▼ From Preface: Although East London exists today as one of the major ports of South Africa, the city appears to have been forgotten by historians. Little has been done to chronicle its history. In 1932, Bruce Gordon set out to initiate this research and he investigated East London's history to the end of 1865. However, Gordon's thesis, though accurate, is short and inadequate by today's standards. Furthermore, no-one continued from where Gordon left off. Several articles have been written over the previous six decades, each dealing with aspects of East London's past but these, on the whole, are inaccurate and misleading. The time is ripe, therefore, to begin again the research into the history of East London.East London owed its foundation to the state of unrest which existed on the eastern frontier of the Cape of Good Hope between 1834 and 1847. Although the geographic and climatic conditions were in the port's favour, East London remained in a suppressed condition until about 1870. It is the purpose of this thesis to examine the factors which gave rise to this truncated growth. The thesis will examine first the wider perspective of imperial and colonial policy in which East London was conceived and in which it had its early existence. The implications of this policy for East London at the various levels of the port's development will be explored in subsequent chapters. British and Cape colonial policy, however, evolved in a chronological sequence and so the examination of this policy likewise will tend to follow a chronological pattern within each chapter. The establishment of Port Rex in November/December 1836 enters into East London's story in several ways: its political development, the creation and development of the harbour on the Buffalo River, the evolution of trade, the growth of the community and the status of the black population at the mouth of the Buffalo River. It has been found necessary, therefore, to refer often to this beginning of East London's history. Although several theses have already been written which deal with topics related to British Kaffraria, none of these do more than allude to the creation and development of East London. Although, for example, the German Settlers played an important role in the growth of the port, Schnell's thesis hardly mentions the two communities at Panmure and Cambridge. The research for this thesis led me to two important and little known sources of early information, both in Cape Town. The first was the multiple volumed "Unsorted Archives" on East London which consists of reports and letters to the Resident Magistrate. It is a treasure chest of information on East London's early years. The second source was G.M. Theal's newspapers, The Kaffrarian Recorder and East London Shipping Gazette and, later, The Kaffrarian, East London's second newspaper which was believed to have been lost until copies were discovered recently in the South African Library in Cape Town. Theal, later prominent as a historian, had a clear insight into the problems which confronted the… Advisors/Committee Members: Hunt, Keith S..

▼ From introduction: The study begins with a detailed examination of the origins of the defence in Roman law, and traces the dispute over the role of the veritas convicii through the writings of the Roman-Dutch jurists and the decisions of the pre-Union colonial courts in South Africa. The gradual absorption of the requirement of public benefit into the contemporary law is examined. Subsequent sections attempt to extract from the case law and to systematise the rules relating to the requirements of the defence of truth and public benefit, with a view to setting forth the circumstances in which the truth may lawfully be published. Section 2 deals with problems relating to proof of the truth of the imputation; Section 3 with the problem of when publication can be said to serve the public benefit. The final section seeks to examine the juridical basis of the defence and to relate it to recent developments in the law of defamation as a whole. Brief conclusions are then drawn and recommendations made.

▼ From Introduction: 1. Background to the thesis: During the 1950' sand 1960' s it would appear that the explicit objectives of economic policy in South Africa were full employment and economic growth with some occasional emphasis on the pursuit of relative price stability. Other goals such as efficiency in resource allocation and the pursuit of an "acceptable" income distribution were at best implicit and subordinate to these objectives. This is exemplified by the fact that a number of key prices which were controlled by the authorities such as the exchange rate, interest rates and public utility tariffs were generally set at levels which were either over- or under-priced relative to factor scarcities throughout this period.
