(United Kingdom) Christian Ahlund (Sweden) Jeremy Sarkin (South Africa) ttR-?-£P - 2'^a *S\G PREFACE The International Commission of Jurists, at the suggestion of many lawyers in South Africa, sent a mission to Natal at the end of August 1990 to investigate the rampant violence which has torn the Province apart for upwards of four years. Over a period of two weeks, the mission concentrated its efforts on developing an in-depth understanding of the violence which continues to plague Natal. Stringent time constraints did not permit them to investigate the situation in the Transvaal where the violence has now spread. The mission held meetingjs with a variety of organisations and individuals representing aE sides involved with the violence, as well as with independent monitors and observers. The mission met Government ministers Pik Botha (Foreign Affairs) and Adrian Vlok (Law and order) and talked with the African National Congress (ANQ leaders in Natal as-well as with Walter Sisulu oftheANCNationalExecutive Committee. They saw Chief MinisterButhelexi, who is the President oflnkatha and ChiefMinister ofKwa Zulu as well as the Pea Mtetwa, the Kwa Zulu Minister of Justice.

    The killing fields of KZN Local government elections, violence and democracy in 2016 Mary de Haas* [email protected] http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2413-3108/2016/v0n57a456 This article explores the intersections between party interests, democratic accountability and violence in KwaZulu-Natal. It begins with an overview of the legacy of violence in the province before detailing how changes in the African National Congress (ANC) since the 2007 Polokwane conference are inextricably linked to internecine violence and protest action. It focuses on the powerful eThekwini Metro region, including intra-party violence in the Glebelands hostel ward. These events provide a crucial context to the violence preceding the August 2016 local government elections. The article calls for renewed debate about how to counter the failure of local government. In KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), the province dubbed the Glebelands hostel ward. Crucially, it also the ‘killing fields’ in the early 1990s, all post- contextualises the violence that preceded the 1994 elections have been marked by intimidation August 2016 local government elections. and violence.

  • Experiences of People Affected by Rabies in Ethekwini District in the Province of Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa
    Experiences of people affected by rabies in Ethekwini district in the province of Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa Jeffrey Mduduzi Hadebe1, Maureen Nokuthula Sibiya2 1. Durban University of Technology - Steve Biko Campus, Nursing. 2. Durban University of Technology, Faculty of Health Sciences. Abstract Background: South Africa is one of the countries in Africa adversely affected by rabies, a notifiable disease which can be fatal. Fatalities can be prevented if health care is sought timeously and people are educated about the disease. The Province of Kwa- Zulu-Natal, in particular, has had rabies outbreaks in the past which have led to loss of many lives and devastation of entire families. Objective: The aim of the study was to explore the experiences of people affected by rabies in the eThekwini district of Kwa- Zulu-Natal, South Africa. Methods: The study was guided by a qualitative, exploratory, descriptive design. The sample was purposively selected, and a semi-structured interview was used to collect data from people affected by rabies in the eThekwini district. Data saturation was reached after 12 participants were interviewed. Data was analysed by using Tesch’s eight steps of thematic analysis. Results: The themes included family stability and support structures, exposure to risk factors and risky practices, factors that hindered participants from seeking health care assistance, limited knowledge about rabies and the effects of rabies. Conclusion: It was evident that participants experienced many challenges during their rabies exposure. Individuals, who were directly affected by rabies through contact with rabid animals, were expected to take responsibility for their own lives. Keywords: Rabies, South Africa, qualitative research.

  • Apartheid and Post-Apartheid Discourses in School Space: a Study of Durban
    APARTHEID AND POST-APARTHEID DISCOURSES IN SCHOOL SPACE: A STUDY OF DURBAN JENNIFER KARLSSON A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION UNIVERSITY OF LONDON FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY September 2003 Educational Foundations and Policy Studies Institute of Education S 20 Bedford Way London WC 1H OAL DECLARATION The work presented in this thesis is my own. Jennifer Karlsson 1 ABSTRACT In this thesis the transition from one political dispensation to another provides the opportunity for examining spatial practices and political discourses in South African schools. The starting point is the Lefebvrian proposition that space is inscribed with past and present discourses and that new political discourses establish practices that compel the reshaping of space. Six public schools in the South African city of Durban provided the data and context for the study, which focused on apartheid and post-apartheid spatial practices. The objectives were to identify how the social relations of apartheid were learned through spatial relations in schools, how residual traces of apartheid spatial practices remained after the official demise of that political and economic system in the early 1990s, what forms new spatial practices in schools took and what aspects of the new political dispensation these revealed. A range of visual methodologies is used as a means to examine questions concerning spatial relations. Data was collected at six schools (three primary and three secondary) five of which exemplify different administration regimes under apartheid, and one of which opened in the post-apartheid era. Data sources comprised photographic observations recorded during participant observation and some photographs taken by learners from the selected schools.

Buried beneath the ‘miracle’ of the ‘rainbow nation’, it was like a sore tooth, a nagging, incessant but low-level continuance, which erupted in May 2008 in an orgy of violence that spread rapidly from Alexandra to other sites across the country … and then seemed to have stopped almost as suddenly. Since then, violence directed
