ULWASA Annual Report 2014 -.:University of Limpopo ___________________________________________________________________ UNIVERSITY OF LIMPOPO WOMEN’S ACADEMIC SOLIDARITY ASSOCIATION (ULWASA) REPORT FOR THE ACADEMIC YEAR 2014 1. INTRODUCTION ULWASA is an association of women academics and postgraduate students at the University of Limpopo. The aim of the association is to provide support to women academics so that they can engage fully in research and leadership within the university. Until 2014, membership of the association comprised female staff and postgraduate students on both the Turfloop and Medunsa campuses. By the end of the year, the association had 149 paid up members (92 at Turfloop and 57 at Medunsa). 2. ULWASA ACTIVITIES The year was marked by a series of activities, from writing retreats to seminars and workshops. Almost all the events planned for the year were executed. 2.1 Newsletter The newsletter was printed in May and distributed to members on both the Turfloop and Medunsa campuses. Copies were also sent to management and various offices on campus. 2.2 Saturday writing retreats As in previous years, the Saturday writing retreats continued to give sisters a chance to take a Saturday off and focus on their research projects. On the 1 Turfloop campus, the sisters had concerns about the continued use of P Block since access to the building was difficult when sisters working there were not coming to the retreat. The new Executive decided to explore other options. A new venue was found in the new Zoology/Botany Laboratory and tested for feasibility. The first retreat on 22 February took place there and sisters found it spacious and conducive for writing. The venue continued to be used for Saturday retreats. On the Medunsa campus, Saturday retreats also became a regular practice. Although it was challenging at first for the sisters to get people to commit to it, they succeeded in establishing a monthly programme. The table below summarises the attendance of Saturday retreats for the year: Turfloop Medunsa Date Attendance Date Attendance 22 February 14 08 March 14 26 April 17 12 April 9 31 May 20 21 May 11 28 June 16 21 June 11 26 July 22 16 August 15 04 October 12 20 September 14 2.3 Supervision seminar The seminar took place on 18 March 2014 in the Old Senate Chambers. Dr Perpetua Modjadji, head of the Department of Medical Sciences, was one of the guest presenters. Her presentation addressed models of postgraduate supervision. Dr Naomi Nkealah also presented during the seminar and her presentation focused on power relations in postgraduate supervision. 2.4 Long weekend writing retreats The first long weekend writing retreat took place on 21-24 March 2014 at the Polokwane Royal Hotel. Members from both the Turfloop and Medunsa campuses were present. A total number of 72 members attended the retreat, some having cancelled at the last minute owing to urgent family business. Since accommodation had been paid for 80 sisters, the Executive Committee 2 negotiated with the hotel for a credit. The credit balance was later used for other ULWASA activities. The second retreat took place on 08-10 August 2014 at the Protea Hotel Ranch Resort. Members from both Turfloop and Medunsa attended. In total, there were 65 women present, in spite of the strike at Medunsa and some transport challenges at Turfloop. On 9 August the women celebrated Women’s Day in their colourful traditional attires. The celebration included motivational talks, poetry readings, lively singing and traditional dance. 2.5 Public lecture ULWASA hosted a public lecture by a visiting professor from Belgium who was visiting Turfloop as part of the VLIR collaboration. Professor Veerle Draulans gave an informative presentation to members on the topic: “Gender and leadership: challenges for university life”. The lecture took place on 16 April 2014 in the Old Senate Chambers. 2.6 Recruitment campaigns The Turfloop Recruitment Campaign took place on 22 May 2014. A total of 30 new members were recruited on this day, the majority of whom were postgraduate students. The Medunsa recruitment campaign took place on 11 June 2014 and 11 new members were recruited. 2.7 Team building and stress management workshop The workshop was run by the ULWASA Ambassador, Mr M Mohlake, and it took place on 25 June 2014 in the VL Dining Hall at Turfloop. Twenty-two women attended the workshop. 2.8 Motivational Day A motivational day was held at Turfloop on 29 August 2014. The guest speaker was Ms Nthabiseng Malope who was an image consultant and motivational speaker and a former ULWASA member. Ms Malope spoke to the women on the topic “Life as a success”. Over 30 women attended and 3 listened to her motivational speech. New members were also recruited on this occasion. 2.9 Cross-faculty seminar The seminar took place on Saturday, 18 October at Polokwane Royal Hotel. Expenses for the event were covered by the association’s credit balance with Polokwane Royal. There were four presentations by members from three faculties. Topic Presenter(s) Atomistic Simulation Studies of Spinel Ms Sylvia Ledwaba and Prof. Phuti Li1+xMn2-xO4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.33) Cathode Ngoepe Materials Materials Modelling Centre Faculty of Science and Agriculture The impact of higher educational Ms Sigida Rendani Lennett attainment on poverty alleviation in School of Social Sciences Mankweng community, Limpopo Faculty of Humanities province Siphonostomatoid diversity on Ms Modjadji C.

Dippenaar the KwaZulu-Natal coast of South School of Molecular and Life Science Africa Faculty of Science and Agriculture Clients’ experiences of HIV-positive Ms Pamela Mamagobo post-disclosure to sexual partners at School of Health Sciences St Rita’s Hospital, Limpopo province Faculty of Health Sciences 2.10 ULWASA year-end function The function took place on Saturday, 13 December 2014 at Polokwane Royal Hotel. The credit balance was used to cover all the expenses for the event. In spite of several challenges, including the fact that the function clashed with management’s year-end lekotla, the event was successful. Members from both Turfloop and Medunsa attended and some members were given certificates for their service to the association. Entertainment was provided free of charge by a traditional dance group from around Mankweng. The Vice Chancellor could not attend but sent a representative to deliver a message to the women. 4 2.11 Graduations Several sisters obtained their postgraduate degrees in the course of the year. The following sisters graduated from Turfloop: i) Lediga Sylvia, BA Honours English Studies ii) Letsoalo Mmaranti Pamla, MA in English Studies iii) Mahlatji ML, MSc in Zoology iv) Makola Lehlogonolo, MA in Psychology v) Matlou Malekgale Lebogang, BA Honours in Criminology and Criminal Justice vi) Mokatse Khomotjo, MSc in Microbiology vii) Okite-Amughoro Ashinedu Faith, Master of Information Studies viii) Tlowane Mapelo Constancia, MA in Translation Studies and Linguistics ix) Adebola Fawole, PhD in Linguistics The Medunsa graduates were as follows: i) Dr M Gededzha (Dept of Virology) ii) Ms T Choeneemang (Dept of Virology) iii) Ms D Radebe (Dept of Virology) iv) Ms T Sondlane (Dept of Virology) v) Ms T Rantsie (Dept of Virology) vi) Ms P Lentsoane (Dept of Pharmacy) vii) Ms S Teffu (Dept of Pharmacy) viii) Ms C Mokou (Dept of Pharmacy) 2.12 Postgraduate Supervision Training The research office organised a postgraduate supervision training programme which ran from February to April 2014 and several members were selected to participate in this programme. These members were Dr Mapotso Kena, Dr Maruma Kgetja, Dr Kabelo Chuene, Professor Theresa Moyo, Dr Satsope Maoto, Professor Susan Dippenaar, Dr Lesolang Nkeke, Dr Maria Kanjere and Dr Naomi Nkealah. It was an intensive course worth 30 credits and it required candidates to complete online tasks as well as do interviews and 5 write a review of their supervision practices. Three of the members succeeded in completing all phases of the course and were awarded certificates by Rhodes University. These were Professor Susan Dippenaar, Dr Maruma Kgetja and Dr Naomi Nkealah. The course was organised by Professor Jesika Singh in the research office. 2.13 Mentoring programme Running for the second year, the mentoring programme continued to provide postgraduate students an opportunity to get assistance from senior members in the association. During the March long weekend writing retreat, a mentoring meeting was held on the first day to chart a way forward with the programme. New mentees were allocated mentors and it was good to see the mentors sacrificing their own writing time to assist postgraduate students. However, in the course of the year the mentoring slowed down as mentors became overwhelmed with their own office work and academic research. No reports were received from members regarding the progress of their mentees. The Executive could not therefore award certificates of service to mentors during the year-end function. 3.

  • ICT) in South African Universities: a Comparison Study Among Selected Historically Black Universities (Hbus)
    Mar. 2006, Volume 3, No.3 (Serial No.16) US-China Education Review, ISSN1548-6613,USA Bridging the Digital Divide and the Use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in South African Universities: a Comparison Study among Selected Historically Black Universities (HBUs) and Historically White Universities (HWUs) Osunkunle, Oluyinka Oludolapo* University of Limpopo, South Africa Abstract: It has become common place for students in historically white universities (HWUs) in South Africa to have 24 hour access to computers, the Internet, e-learning facilities, check results online and even register online. However, historically black universities (HBUs) are still battling to have access to these facilities. On a macro level, the issue of lack of access to basic ICT facilities or digital divide exists. This is evident in the fact that developed nations like U.S.A and Switzerland have significant access to ICT, while under-developed nations in Africa like Ethiopia and Congo do not enjoy considerable access. On a micro level in South Africa, digital divide still exists. Even the divide exists among South African Universities as students in historically white institutions like Pretoria, Rhodes and Stellenbosch Universities enjoy unlimited access to ICT facilities like computers and the Internet. However, the reverse is the case in HBUs where access rate is very limited and personal observation bears this out as most historically black institutions like the University of Fort Hare, University of Limpopo, and University of Zululand, just to mention a few are still battling with the issue of access to ICT facilities. This paper presents the findings of a survey conducted to examine the present ICT status / capacity of HBUs compared to what exists in HWUs in South Africa.

  • Evaluating the South African Higher Education Government Funding Framework
    Evaluating the South African higher education government funding framework A Styger 13007734 Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Magister Commercii in Risk Management at the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University Supervisor: Prof Gary van Vuuren Co-supervisor: Dr André Heymans May 2014 Acknowledgements I thank God for the knowledge and opportunity He has given me to complete this dissertation. Without Him, this study would not have been possible. I would like to acknowledge everybody that contributed to this study and the completion thereof. In particular, I would like to thank the following people: • My supervisor, Prof Gary van Vuuren, for the guidance throughout the study. I am grateful for all the feedback, knowledge and support in every aspect of this dissertation, • My co-supervisor, Dr André Heymans, for his contribution, especially in the beginning of the study, • Prof Paul Styger, for the support and drive to start with the study, • Marlise, for the moral support in good and difficult times, • My parents and in-laws, for their continuous support throughout the study, • Friends and family for their continuous support. i Abstract South Africa is ranked 146 th out of a total of 148 countries by the World Economic Forum for its education system and last in science and mathematics, and yet the government spends up to a fifth of its budget on education. Only 40% of pupils who start schooling in grade 1 will pass matric (grade 12), with just 12% maintaining high enough marks to qualify for university entrance. Any research to boost learning in South Africa, at any level, should be welcomed.

  • Cross-Cultural Psychology in the Rainbow Nation of Africa
    Meiring - 265 Cross-Cultural Psychology in the Rainbow Nation of Africa – Nurturing Diversity for Sustainable Development Report of the XXI International Congress of the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Deon Meiring, Leon Jackson, Erhabor Idemudia & Fons van de Vijver This report was written just a few days after Hurricane Sandy swept through the East Coast of the Unites States of America, leaving behind a trail of devastation and unimaginable misery. The follow- ing day, CNN reported scenes of destruction and havoc, as well as heroic actions of New Yorkers— people trying to pick up their lives and return to work again. On the southern point of Africa, where we were gearing up for the ANC national confer- ence in Mangaung, there was a different storm brewing that would help determine the fate of South Africans for the next five years. The 21st International Congress of the International Association of Cross-cultural Psychology (IACCP) took place from 17 to 21 July 2012 on the Stellenbosch University campus. Stellenbosch, situated in a magnificent mountain valley 50 km from Cape Town, has charming scenery, some of the world’s most famous vineyards and a rich cultural history. The IACCP Congress was conceived in 2006 when South Africa was chosen to host the International Union of Psychological Science’s 2012 Inter- national Congress of Psychology (ICP) in Cape Town. At that time, we were attending the IACCP Congress in Xi’an, China. Knowing that the ICP would come to South Africa, we proposed at the 2008 Bremen Congress EC meet- ing to host the IACCP 2012 Congress.

  • Using African Languages at Universities in South Africa: the Struggle Continues
    Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics Plus, Vol. 58, 2019, 205-218 doi: 10.5842/58-0-843 Using African languages at universities in South Africa: The struggle continues Richard N. Madadzhe Faculty of Humanities, University of Limpopo, South Africa E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Both the advent of democracy in 1994 and the adoption of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa in 1996 kindled hope that ultimately official African languages, in addition to English and Afrikaans, would soon be utilised as languages of teaching and learning throughout the education sector of South Africa. However, in spite of government efforts and significant measures assumed by both private and public institutions to promote the use of African languages, this article reveals that the use of African languages in higher education still leaves much to be desired. This article presents a variety of causes for this state of affairs such as globalisation, economic factors, negative attitudes towards African languages and a lack of will or confidence by both students and university officials to take the plunge in using African languages in teaching and learning. Furthermore, developments in the country around issues such as #RhodesMustFall, decolonisation and Africanisation of higher education curricula, as well as the imminent introduction of the Revised Language Policy for Higher Education in 2019 make it imperative to make a reappraisal of the possibility of utilising African languages at universities in South Africa. Finally, the article argues that it is high time to walk the talk because debating the relevance of African languages in teaching and learning at universities in South Africa cannot take place indefinitely.

  • JE Survey South Africa-2
    Journalism education survey: South Africa Compiled by Anthea Garman with Vanessa Malila, Mia van der Merwe & Jeanne du Toit, Rhodes University, School of Journalism & Media Studies 1. What is the framework of higher education and situating journalism education in that? South Africa’s education system is divided into three levels – primary, secondary and tertiary which consists of universities, universities of technology and further education and training colleges. Journalism education is taught in the universities and universities of technology. The universities of technology are fairly recent additions to the tertiary education framework and many of them were “merged” into already-existing universities under a plan to revise the academic landscape by the SA Minister of Education in 2003. Before the mergers they were called technikons and their journalism teaching components had a strong focus on practical journalism without the theoretical media studies, cultural studies or communication studies components other universities were teaching. Typically two years of study with one spent in a newsroom resulted in a diploma in journalism. When they were merged with other institutions or became universities of technology they began to offer degrees and so revised their curricula adding more theoretical courses to reflect this enhanced status. Many of these institutions still produce graduates considered by many editors as more likely to “hit the ground running” when they apply for jobs in South African newsrooms (see http://mg.co.za/article/2007-10-16-the-best-journalism-schools-in-sa ). The universities consist of both public institutions and private institutions although there are few of these (among them Monash, an Australian university, Midrand and Varsity College) and private institutions did not exist in this arena until the post-apartheid era.
