Kgatla, my supervisor at the University of Pretoria (UP), for the supportive role he played throughout this research endeavour. I also extend a big thank you to the UP Bursary Fund for the bursary they awarded to me to study at the University. I would also like to thank Ms Brenda Nsanzya, faculty librarian at UP, for helping me obtain information from the library and search for books and articles pertaining to my research topic. Thanks also go to Ms Doris Mokgokolo, faculty administration at UP, for her assistance and patience with all of the changing dates and delays regarding the final submission of my dissertation. Thanks to Ms Mirriam Mabalane, faculty librarian at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) Soweto Campus, for helping me with access and space in the Research Commons. My gratitude is extended to Mr Michael P. Matlooane, LECSA Meadowlands Parish evangelist, for being a father figure and guide in my ministry and research at LECSA Meadowlands. I also want to thank Mr Marks P. Selala, LECSA Meadowlands Parish elder, for his generosity with information regarding the Western Townships of Johannesburg. His knowledge is indescribable. Thanks also go to Ms Lisebo Sephaka, LECSA Meadowlands Parish elder, for her willingness to give as much as possible. In addition, I thank Mr Moeketsi Ntśalong, LECSA Meadowlands Parish elder, whose pain of losing his spouse did not deter him from sharing his time with me to ponder the questions about LECSA Meadowlands. Rev. Teboho Morapeli, LECSA Gauteng presbytery moderator; as busy as he was, he made time to go through some of the challenging questions I had—thank you. Rev. Benjamin Refiloe Sehau, Evangelical Church of South Africa (ECSA) moderator, thanks for taking ample time to be interviewed though he was morbid and organising their National Conference at the same time. 3 © University of Pretoria I also want to thank the LECSA Meadowlands Parish and Consistory for trusting me to play a pastoral role in the congregation. I will forever be grateful for the love they overtly displayed for me and my family—Kea leboha bana ba thare ea tśepe. I am grateful to the Ebenezer Evangelical Church, Protea Glen Congregation and the Leadership, for affording me an opportunity to be their pastor though they knew that I was a full-time student and could not deliver on other areas of my responsibility. Thank you for embracing me and my family—God bless you! To Rev. Dr Bheki Sibanyoni, retired minister of the Church of the Nazarene, friend and mentor, I am grateful for the encouragement I received from him and for the information he gave me about registering with UP to do my Masters’ Degree. My thanks also go to Mr David and Mrs Annah (Khumalo) Nkumbe, my in-laws, Ms Christinah Deliwe Nkosi, my mother, Ms Theresa Nomasonto Nkosi, my aunt, and Mrs Elizabeth Lindiwe Mthiyane, my sister. All of them helped and assisted with minding and babysitting my children. I am also grateful to my wife, Siphiwe Saugina Kganyapa, and our beautiful children, Masechaba, Lerato and Mohau. They tolerated my absenteeism from most important family moments and my inability to provide finer things in life since I was a full-time student and failing many times to fulfil my promises—tśoarelo Batebang, ho tla loka! Above all, I thank God, Jehovah, our heavenly Father and our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth—Ke hloka maleme a sekete a ho’ rorisa! 4 © University of Pretoria DEDICATION “Dedicated to my great-grandfather Gustaff Ntoa Khanyapa, who was a staunch member, elder and ‘Moleli (evangelist) at the Lesotho Evangelical Church (PEMS) Jabavu Parish and ensured that we were christened—Kea leboha Mosia, Motobatsi! And Also to my brother, Paulos Molahlei Kganyapa, who sacrificed his early schooling years so that I may be comfortable and continue my schooling and studies—Kea leboha Mohlakoana, Motebang!” 5 © University of Pretoria KEYWORDS Apartheid Ecclesia Forced Removals Jubilee Lay Ministry Lesotho Lesotho Evangelical Church in Southern Africa Meadowlands Mission Morena Moshoeshoe Parish Evangelical Missionary Society Positive Deconstruction Resistance Sophiatown Thuthuho (Coming of Age) Western Areas of Johannesburg 6 © University of Pretoria TABLE OF CONTENTS DECLARATION ...................................................................................................................... 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ..................................................................................................... 3 DEDICATION ......................................................................................................................... 5 KEYWORDS ............................................................................................................................ 6 CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION .................................................................................. 10 1.1.

ROMA LESOTHO AFRICA (RESEARCH REPORTj I Henk Huismpn 1S83 X t > u i Preface For the research programme undertaken in the context of the Urban and Regional Planning Programme, established at the National University of Lesotho in 1978, emphasis has been put on the spatial organization of develooment efforts and activities in the rural areas of Lesotho. This focus on the rural parts of the country also includes an assess­ ment of the role of urban centres in providing both agricultural and non-agricultursl services to the rural populati on. The present report focusses on the only urban centre in the Mafeteng District, viz. Mafeteng town. Services provided from the centre to the district's population are analysed in relation to the town 1s internal production structure. The information for this report was collected in 1981 by means of a sample survey of households and a number of special studies in which attention was paid to specific aspects of the urban economy and the town's population which were considered crucial for the analysis of structure and function of the town. The report should be seen as the urban counterpart to the URPP research report on households, production and resources in Mafeteng District, which was published in 1987. These reports will be followed by a planning survey of Mafeteng District, which contains an analysis of the district economy.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Approximately one quarter of Zimbabwean adults left their country of birth during the past twenty years. These sojourners are increasingly dispersed as tightening immigration regimes in preferred destinations and fluctuating global opportunities lead them to places with fewer historical links to Zimbabwe. This dispersive process fractures many families between multiple international locations. Nevertheless, the idea of family remains centrally important to diasporans, who work with relatives around the world to care for children and elders, to acquire important documents like passports, and to prepare for an eventual return home. Following from performative and relational theorizations of kinship, this dissertation argues that collaborative projects are crucibles in which families are forged and reconfigured. This exploration of how dispersion shapes family life deploys three analytical lenses: history, space and technology. Contemporary journeys are historically linked to a century of dispossession and labor-migration in Southern Africa. Colonial governments used onerous “bioinformational regimes” to subjugate Africans and profit from their labor.

  • Orlando Bloom Biography - Life, Family, Childhood, Children, Name, Story, School, Mother, Young
    3/5/2020 Orlando Bloom Biography - life, family, childhood, children, name, story, school, mother, young World Biography (../in… / A-Ca (index.html) / Orlando Bloom Bi… Orlando Bloom Biography January 13, 1977 • Canterbury, England Actor Bloom, Orlando. AP/Wide World Photos. Reproduced by permission. Orlando Bloom is best known for playing the elf warrior Legolas Greenleaf in the epic film trilogy The Lord of the Rings. His ability as an actor was appreciated by critics, but the bigger story was that over the course of the three films Bloom attracted an enormous number of fans. Although his naturally dark features were disguised by a waist-length blonde wig, blue contact lenses, and pointy ears, young girls the world over discovered a new heartthrob. Bloom's success as Legolas opened doors for the classically trained English actor, who has gone on to appear in a number of other critically acclaimed movies. In addition, he became one of the hottest young properties in Hollywood, making Entertainment Weekly 's "It list" in 2003. Early bloomer Orlando Bloom was born on January 13, 1977, in Canterbury, England. His mother, Sonia, ran a foreign language school; his father, Harry, was a human rights activist, lawyer, and author. Before moving to Canterbury the elder Blooms lived in South Africa, where Harry Bloom (1913–1981) was a fierce fighter in the struggle against apartheid, a policy of racial segregation. When Orlando was only four years old, his father died after suffering a stroke. He and his older sister, Samantha, were raised by their mother, who had a profound effect on her children.

  • Competition Issues in the Transport Sector in Lesotho
    UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE ON TRADE AND DEVELOPMENT Competition issues in the Transport Sector in Lesotho By Chabeli J. RAMOLISE New York and Geneva, 2011 The views expressed in this study are those of the author do not necessarily reflect the views of the UNCTAD Secretariat. NOTE UNCTAD serves as the focal point within the United Nations Secretariat for all matters related to competition policy. UNCTAD seeks to further the understanding of the nature of competition law and policy and its contribution to development and to create an enabling environment for an efficient functioning of markets. UNCTAD’s work is carried out through intergovernmental deliberations, capacity building activities, policy advice, and research and analysis on the interface between competition policy and development. UNCTAD’s work on competition law and policies falls within the framework of the Set of Multilaterally Agreed Principles and Rules for the Control of Restrictive Business Practices (the “United Nations Set of Principles and Rules on Competition”), adopted by the General Assembly in 1980. The set seeks, inter alia, to assist developing countries in adopting and enforcing effective competition law and policy that are suited to their development needs and economic situation. The designations employed and the presentation of the material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Secretariat of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area, or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.

  • Hugh Masekela: the Long Journey 1959-1968
    HUGH MASEKELA: THE LONG JOURNEY 1959-1968 By RICARDO CUEVA A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Jazz History and Research written under the direction of Dr. Henry Martin and approved by ___________________________________ Newark, New Jersey October 2020 © 2020 Ricardo Cueva ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Abstract of the Thesis Hugh Masekela: The Long Journey By Ricardo Cueva Thesis Director: Henry Martin This thesis chronicles Masekela's transition from African refugee to Grammy nominated artist while also encompassing a musical analysis of his work before and including The Promise of the Future. This thesis will provide brief biographical information of Masekela’s life as well as a sociological analysis to give context to his place in US pop culture. This study discusses Masekela’s upbringing in South Africa and explores his transition into 1960s America. This thesis argues that Masekela faced an authenticity complex when breaking into the US market because he defied the expectations of what US audiences thought Africans to be. Masekela overcame this obstacle with the release of The Americanization of Ooga Booga (1966). A musical analysis and critique of the first three albums with an emphasis on Masekela’s breakthrough compositions will be part of this thesis. This thesis concludes with a brief analysis of the cultural and racial impact of Masekela’s work both in the United States and South Africa. ii Acknowledgements I would first and foremost like to thank my parents for their constant support and sacrifice.
