  • Boaz As 'Sugar Daddy': Re-Reading Ruth in the Context of HIV
    ־Journal of Theologyfor Southern Africa 155 (July 2016 special Issue) 137156 Boaz as 'Sugar Daddy': Re-Reading Ruth in the Context of HIV Gerald o. West and Be٧erley G. Haddad ABSTRACT Research has shown that young African women are one of the key populations that is most at risk to HIV infection. Indications are that these young women are increasingly engaging in age-disparate ‘sugar daddy’ relationships which is increasing their vulnerability. This article follows the See-Judge-Act methodology, beginning with an analysis of these age-disparate sexual relationships in southern Africa in the context of HIV. The article then analyses a religious resource. Contextual Bible Study, which has the capacity to provide resources for engagement with age-disparate sexual relationships by young African women. A narrative analysis of the biblical book of Ruth is used as a part of this religious resource. The third part of the article considers how this religious resource might contribute to social change in the context of HIV vulnerability. Introduction In the province of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, newspapers, both formal and informal, carry advertisements, every day, for ‘sugar daddy’ relationships: Serious Sugar Daddy Mature (56) Sugar Daddy (White, wealthy, fit, presentable, professional businessman) living in the upper Highway area in Durban, looking for a permanent & regular sex companion who should be slim, attractive, intelligent and very broad-minded. Must be ultra hygienic, discreet, independent and have a wicked sense of humour and most importantly understand that quality sex is a lot more than just intercourse. The right person should understand that any relationship that develops will take on a long term view and the sugar will be provided in many different forms.

  • Aspects of the Ecology of Three Mongoose Species Along a Rural–Urban Landscape Gradient of Kwazulu- Natal, South Africa
    Aspects of the ecology of three mongoose species along a rural–urban landscape gradient of KwaZulu- Natal, South Africa Jarryd Peter Streicher Submitted in fulfilment of the academic requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Discipline of Ecological Sciences School of Life Sciences College of Agriculture, Engineering and Science University of KwaZulu-Natal Pietermaritzburg Campus 2020 ABSTRACT Many small carnivore species are of particular concern for conservation because of their elusive behaviour, diminutive size and crepuscular habits. Management and research tend to be challenging and thus is often limited. Several members of the Herpestidae family fall into this research dead zone, including the large grey mongoose (Herpestes ichneumon), slender mongoose (Galerella sanguinea), white-tailed mongoose (Ichneumia albicauda) and marsh or water mongoose (Atilax paludinosus). The distribution range and other aspects of the ecology of these and other such species, has remained vague for much of the sub-tropical regions of southern Africa because of the scarcity of comprehensive data. There is little understanding of the basic ecology of these mongoose species, and limited progress has been made in understanding the tolerance of these species within a changing environment. These species of mongoose appear to persist across KwaZulu-Natal’s (KZN), South Africa, anthropogenically modified habitats (farmlands and urban). Small carnivore species, such as mongooses, can provide models of how medium-sized carnivores tolerate differing degrees of anthropogenic land-use change. A global review of the current knowledge and research effort for urban mammalian mesocarnivores was conducted. In the last decade, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of studies that focus on medium-sized mammalian carnivores.

Little book dragon roars ...about reading aloud CULLEN Delport, a Grade 5 learner at Winston Park Primary School, absolutely loves to read and one of his all-time favourite books is The World's Worst Children by comedian, David Williams. The 10-year-old said, “I like reading aloud because it conquers your fears when you are shy.” Celebrated on 3 February 2021, World Read Aloud Day highlights the importance of reading aloud and sharing stories. This is especially important for younger children, said READ Educational Trust, a South African based non-profi t organisation. Established in 1979, the organisation works alongside the Department of Education to implement teacher training and literacy projects in schools. In a statement, the NPO said the early childhood development (ECD) sector was hit particularly hard by the lockdown restrictions. "After months of lockdown, very few preschools, play groups and crèches opened again, for fi nancial reasons. Now, more than ever, the simplest activity, such as reading aloud to young children, is priceless in this extraordinary context. Reading aloud also boosts confi dence, helps children cope better with anxiety, develops memory and expands children's worlds. It supports healthy brain development that forms a priceless foundation for success at school and beyond," read the statement.
