Leaders in the Civic Engagement Movement: South Africa October
Leaders in the Civic Engagement Movement: South Africa Co-edited by Lorlene Hoyt and Amy Newcomb Rowe October signals the tenth edition of the expanded series and the first of three South African special editions in preparation for the #TNLC2014 to be held outside Cape Town in December 2014. This issue includes an introduction to South Africa and the University of Cape Town (UCT). Featured interviews include Dr. Max Price, Vice-Chancellor of UCT; Ms. Elli Yiannakaris, Director of the Raymond Ackerman Academy (RAA); and Ms. Samantha Mtinini, alumna of RAA and business owner. South Africa Located at the most southern tip of the African continent, the Republic of South Africa (RSA) is home to approximately 53 million people and several ethnic groups with 11 official languages. The Atlantic Ocean borders to the west, the Indian Ocean to the south and east, and Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Swaziland share the northern border. The independent kingdom of Lesotho is located in the eastern central plain and entirely enclosed by the Republic. The landscape is diverse with open savanna of the Eastern Transvaal, rolling sand dunes of the Kalahari Desert and high peaks of the Drakensberg Mountains.1 Bantu-speakers from the Xhosa and Zulu groups were the first people to settle South Africa as early as 1000 BC. They slowly mixed with other Khoisan groups creating a shared linguistic feature of click consonants. From 1200 AD, they established tribal leaders and built the region’s first economic trade that reached as far as the Arabian Gulf and China. The first Europeans to arrive were the Portuguese in 1488, but permanent white settlement did not begin until 1652 when the English and Dutch established new colonies near the Cape. -

I must start by thanking and congratulating in this year's editorial team for the effort and hard work they hâve put| into this publication. They have worked well together, applying subtle pressure where necessary to ensure deadlines are met and the magazine maintains its high standards. The Resources Centre staff are simply incredibile in transforming sheets of paper into the glossy masterpiece you see before you. Dr Hosty as editor in chief remained alarmingly cairn throughout, unless of course articles disappeared, there was a lack of photos or the quality of English feil short of what one might expect. His leadership and organisation was the driving force behind the good shin Chronicle, but I cannot stress enough how much this production is a team effort. Now, if I could implore you to resist turning straight to the Sport moos section to try and find that amusing photo of Oliver Goodwin playing hockey in a skirt, I would like to say a few words about our great school.
