Management Practice, Vol. 12, No. 1, 2019 1 Editorial Sam Koma Milpark Business School, Extension 2, Melville, Johannesburg, South Africa Email: [email protected] Biographical notes: Sam Koma has over 15 years of academic experience contributing to teaching, research and community engagement. He is the author of the Handbook of South African Public Administration – a self-published book by Reach Publishers.

The aims of this special issue are, first, to provide African scholars with a platform to showcase their work and communicate with one another within the international marketplace of academic ideas and secondly, to inform the global readership of this journal about a continent whose management and governance practices are not well-known. The subject coverage includes topics encompassing public sector administrative reforms and innovations; corporate governance and risk management; contracting out of public services, monitoring and evaluation; and leadership. The first paper, ‘Progress made towards achieving Rwanda’s Vision 2020 key indicators’ targets’ by Dominique Uwizeyimana examines the potential significance of monitoring and evaluation related to the interim evaluation report on the Government of Rwanda’s (GoR) progress towards achieving the objectives of Vision 2020 after 17 years of its implementation.

    REGENT BUSINESS SCHOOL Data Base of all Research and Research Presentations and Allied Research Activities conducted by the REGENT Business School’s Directorate of Research and Innovation for the period 2002 to December 2016: A REPOSITORY OF ALL RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND UNDERTAKEN 1. INTRODUCTION Humble beginnings by REGENT Business School in Respect to Research: Advancing the South African Research Agenda Against all Odds in a Sustained, Coordinated and Professional Manner. It is our pleasure to document all of the research and allied activities including journal articles published and, undertaken by the REGENT Business School for the period 2002 to December 2016 (A period of 14 Years). It was a difficult task to assemble the data because, this exercise was conducted for the first time and, some of the data was not easily accessible going back to the year 2002, or was not on record within the school. The initial years saw the school finding its feet and, it was a period when research was at a very rudimentary stage and level of development and engagement. i In spite of the difficulties encountered in assembling the data, it was an exercise and, effort that achieved the desired effect of obtaining the maximum data of most of the research conducted by the institution, including allied research activities, over a period of nearly two decades. It was a grueling exercise and we are happy with our efforts of creating a more than adequate data base for scrutiny by management, staff, and outside organizations and formations, including the regulatory authority in the form of the Council on Higher Education (CHE) and the Department of Higher Education.

E-mail: [email protected] Tshediso Joseph Sekhampu School of Commerce, Milpark Education, Johannesburg, South Africa. E-mail: [email protected] Paul-Francois Muzindutsi School of Economics, North-West University, Vanderbijlpark, South Africa. E-mail: [email protected] Doi:10.5901/mjss.2014.v5n8p94 Abstract Gender is one of the crucial concepts in the analysis and eradication of poverty. Understanding the link between gender and poverty may assist in developing policies that can have the greatest impact on poverty alleviation. This study used household level data to comparatively analyse the level of access to basic necessities among female and male-headed households in a South African township of Kwakwatsi. Using a simple random sample procedure, 225 households were surveyed in April 2013. A questionnaire was used to collect the relevant information needed in order to assess the level of access to basic necessities. The Lived Poverty Index was used as a measurement of people’s capacity to get the basic necessities of life. Findings of this study showed that major challenges in Kwakwatsi Township relate to access to medical treatment, electricity and clean water. Female-headed households reported higher incidences of lack of access to basic necessities than male-headed households. Access to medicines and medical treatment was found to be the biggest challenge to the residents of Kwakwatsi.
