“Unleash Your Potential” Communities All Over the World Are Becoming Increasingly BBA in Disaster Management More Vulnerable to Disasters, Whether Natural Or Man-Made
A campus of Stenden University* Everybody wants to live in a society where they are able to flourish and live meaningful lives. “Unleash Your Potential” Communities all over the world are becoming increasingly BBA in Disaster Management more vulnerable to disasters, whether natural or man-made. Disaster Management is more than just response and relief, it is a cyclical and systematic process based on key management principles. The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Disaster Management is the first of its kind in the world and provides students with professional and practical skills combined with a multi-disciplinary academic approach. In their third year of study students will also have an opportunity to pursue a specialisation in a specific area of Disaster Management. These could include: • Peacebuilding and conflict resolution • Community building and risk/vulnerability reduction • Food security in Africa • International protocol and diplomacy • Climate change, severe weather, extreme events and disasters The closely associated fields of disaster management and disaster risk reduction are growing exponentially and this qualification enables the student to extend his/her skills beyond just the immediate relief and recovery environment during industrial placement. Students will be exposed to the whole disaster management cycle, from prevention and mitigation, assessment of risk and vulnerability, and to response, relief and recovery from disaster impacts. The range of careers depends on the motivation and drive of the student and can range from international agencies including the United Nations and the Red Cross/Red Crescent; to national, regional and local levels of governments (formal disaster management structures); universities; the security and risk management industry; emergency management; hospitals; community relief organisations; agricultural and climate-related organisations, and environmental consultancies. -

A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement In
A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement in African Tertiary Institutions Written by Funmi E. Vogt This project was funded through the support of the Carnegie Corporation About the African Leadership Centre In July 2008, King’s College London through the Conflict, Security and Development group (CSDG), established the African Leadership Centre (ALC). In June 2010, the ALC was officially launched in Nairobi, Kenya, as a joint initiative of King’s College London and the University of Nairobi. The ALC aims to build the next generation of scholars and analysts on peace, security and development. The idea of an African Leadership Centre was conceived to generate innovative ways to address some of the challenges faced on the African continent, by a new generation of “home‐grown” talent. The ALC provides mentoring to the next generation of African leaders and facilitates their participation in national, regional and international efforts to achieve transformative change in Africa, and is guided by the following principles: a) To foster African‐led ideas and processes of change b) To encourage diversity in terms of gender, region, class and beliefs c) To provide the right environment for independent thinking d) Recognition of youth agency e) Pursuit of excellence f) Integrity The African Leadership Centre mentors young Africans with the potential to lead innovative change in their communities, countries and across the continent. The Centre links academia and the real world of policy and practice, and aims to build a network of people who are committed to the issue of Peace and Security on the continent of Africa. -

The Labour Court of South Africa, Johannesburg
1 THE LABOUR COURT OF SOUTH AFRICA, JOHANNESBURG Reportable Case no: JS72/17 In the matter between: SOLIDARITY OBO SW PARKINSON Applicant and DAMELIN (PTY) LTD Respondent Heard: 29 May 2018 Delivered: 07 June 2018 Summary: Back-pay is an obligation that flows from the order of reinstatement – the employee’s tender of his or her services is inconsequential. JUDGMENT Nkutha-Nkontwana J. Background [1] In this matter the applicant (Solidarity) is suing the respondent (Damelin) by way of a stated case for a back-pay in the amount of R420 000.00 consequent to an order reinstating its member, Mr Parkinson. Damelin had dismissed Mr Parkinson on 15 May 2012. Solidarity unsuccessfully challenged his dismissal at the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA). The commissioner, Mr Sithole, found that his dismissal was procedurally and substantively fair. 2 [2] Solidarity launched the review proceedings and succeeded. In a judgement delivered on 2 December 2014, this Court, per Bleazard AJ, reviewed and set aside the award, replacing it with an order reinstating Mr Parkinson retrospective to 1 January 2014. Damelin appealed the judgment but was unsuccessful. The Labour Appeal Court, in judgment delivered on 10 January 2017, dismissed the appeal with costs. [3] I pause to allude to the fact that Mr Parkinson secured employment with his current employer on 21 August 2014. Soon after receiving the judgment by Bleazard AJ, Solidarity addressed a letter to Damelin, through its attorneys, proposing a discussion on compensation instead of reinstatement. Damelin was seemingly not indulgent; instead, it instituted the appeal proceedings. [4] On 17 January 2017, Damelin’s attorneys addressed a letter to Solidarity stating the following: ‘We refer to the above matter and note the judgment handed down by the Labour Appeal Court on 10 January 2017. -
