Kendig, CPA, Retirement Administrator Staff Contact: Conor Hinds, Supervising Accountant SUBJECT: Receipt and Filing of the Equity Investment Manager Annual Proxy Voting – RECEIVE AND FILE Recommended Action 1. Receive and File. Fiscal and Financial Impacts There are no fiscal impacts to receiving the annual investment manager proxy voting reports as an informational item. Background and Discussion Prior to February 2003 FCERA had contracted with International Shareholder Services (ISS) to provide proxy voting services in order to exercise the right on behalf of the Board to respond timely and accurately to domestic and international proxy voting requests with the focus on maximizing shareholder value. At the February 5, 2003 Board of Retirement meeting, the Board voted unanimously to allow the ISS contract to expire and to allocate the responsibility of proxy voting to the investment managers as these services were already available under the normal management fee structure. The Board’s decision saves approximately $50,000 annually. As a result of the shift in responsibility of proxy voting to the investment managers, the Investment Policy Statement was revised and now states the Board’s authority in this area and sets the expectation for the proxy voting process by the investment managers. In keeping with the Board’s Investment Policy Statement, FCERA staff has obtained the proxy voting records of our current domestic and international equity managers. Attached for your review is the most recent proxy voting reports for the following equity managers: AJO, Artisan, Mondrian Emerging, Mondrian International, PIMCO Stocks Plus, Research Affiliates and T.

  • South Africa: Afrikaans Film and the Imagined Boundaries of Afrikanerdom
    A new laager for a “new” South Africa: Afrikaans film and the imagined boundaries of Afrikanerdom Adriaan Stefanus Steyn Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Social Anthropology in the faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Dr Bernard Dubbeld Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology December 2016 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. December 2016 Copyright © 2016 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract The Afrikaans film industry came into existence in 1916, with the commercial release of De Voortrekkers (Shaw), and, after 1948, flourished under the guardianship of the National Party. South Africa’s democratic transition, however, seemed to announce the death of the Afrikaans film. In 1998, the industry entered a nine-year slump during which not a single Afrikaans film was released on the commercial circuit. Yet, in 2007, the industry was revived and has been expanding rapidly ever since. This study is an attempt to explain the Afrikaans film industry’s recent success and also to consider some of its consequences. To do this, I situate the Afrikaans film industry within a larger – and equally flourishing – Afrikaans culture industry.
