Emotions are the very heart of people's experiences. Moreover, emotions determine people’s focus because they influences people’s interests and define dimensions of people’s worlds across cultures. However, past research on emotions has argued about the meaning of basic emotions being relative or universal cross cultures. It seems as if researchers are avoiding the issues regarding the meaning of negative and positive emotions and how these emotions are expressed within a cross-cultural context. One of the biggest concerns is that if the descriptions of people’s positive and negative emotions are not understood, it becomes difficult for people from different cultural backgrounds to maintain healthy relationships and relate their emotions with one another. Apart from the lack of research regarding the meaning of emotions across cultures, emotion and emotion experiences in the extrinsic and intrinsic level to the employee, especially within the cross cultural context, is also an under researched topic in South African organisations. The reason for this is that organisations view emotions as a complicated subject to understand and tend to focus more on maintaining positive emotions at work rather than creating a stable emotional climate in an organisation for employees. The lack of creating a stable emotional climate within an organisation and addressing adverse discrete emotions and emotional experiences could have harmful effects on employees’ mental health and physical well-being. Furthermore, the absence of measuring instruments to investigate the emotions and emotional experiences of employees may result into experiencing painful personal incidents, lack of pride in one’s accomplishments, lack of engagement and commitment, negative behaviour and attitudes, and intentions to quit. These experiences might trigger any negative emotions such as anger, hate, irritation, disappointment, despair and frustrations. viii The above problem statement gave a reason to investigate whether the meaning of emotions differs across cultures or is the same cross culturally, to identify the meaning structure of emotions and to identify the emotions and emotion experience of the employees within the work environment’s extrinsic and intrinsic level experience to the individual. Therefore, the Componential Emotions Theory was a relevant theory to determine the meaning of emotions within the Tswana speaking group. The theory of determining emotions and emotion episodes by the Affective Events Theory was followed as a way of determining emotions and emotion experiences comprehensively in the Setswana speaking language group. The Componential Emotion Theory was adapted to provide a clarification of how people across cultures describe their emotion terms. According to the Componential Emotion Theory, emotion terms across cultures can be described through cognitive appraisal, subjective feelings, facial expressions, verbal expressions, gesture, bodily sensations, action tendencies and emotion regulation. Regarding the Affective Events Theory (AET), the theory suggests that emotion episodes at work can cause or be generated by either positive or negative emotions at work. The theory represents an understanding of how employees emotionally respond to certain emotion episodes that occur in various organisational settings. The following research objectives were formulated based on the above-mentioned description of the research problem. The research objectives were addressed into two research articles where study 1 (the meaning of emotion) was the first research article and study 2 (studying the emotion episodes and associated emotions) was the second research article. The objectives of study 1 were to determine the meaning of emotions as conceptualised in a literature review with specific reference to emotion dimensions; to determine how emotions and culture are conceptualised in a literature review with specific reference to the Setswana language group; to describe the Componential Emotion Theory in the literature as an approach to study the meaning of emotion in cultural contexts; to determine if the 24 emotion terms as measured by the Grid

  • Chief Molema and the Foundations of Tshidi History”
    CHAPTER ONE: “CHIEF MOLEMA AND THE FOUNDATIONS OF TSHIDI HISTORY” Relatively little information remains of the first Chief Molema’s life, yet the vital choices he made and the independent town he built made him vital to the history of the Molopo region. But for Chief Molema, this thesis argues, his grandson might not have interested himself in history at all. This chapter reconstructs aspects of his life that have been documented and to which Dr Molema would return, when attempting to re-create and explain his community’s history. This story begins some 83 years after the old Chief’s death. In 1964, near the end of Dr Seetsele Modiri Molema’s life, historian Dan Johns interviewed him in Mafikeng.1 Johns highlighted his recent political life in the African National Congress, skirting the doctor’s youth and his family’s eminence in the (then) small British Bechuanaland town, Mafikeng. Likewise, he skimmed over Molema’s education in the Eastern Cape, Scotland and Ireland. Dan Johns [DJ]: What was your early education? Dr Seetsele Modiri Molema [SMM]: I was born here in Mafeking and went to school here at the Mission School until Standard 4, then to the Mission School in Hazeltown (?) [Johns seems not to have known about Healdtown].2 Went to Lovedale for Matric, and then went overseas. My father was keen on education, he was the first teacher of the people here. We were the leaders in education, this was our family tradition. DJ: Did the family hold any particular position? SMM: Yes, my grandfather was the brother of a chief.

The report is divided into three chapters, covering scriptural and secular translation history across two time periods, namely 1652-1750 (scriptural and secular), 1750-1860 (scriptural) and 1750-1860 (secular). A catalogue of translations done in these time periods is also included. The research methodology is based on hermeneutical principles, and therefore seeks to interpret and represent historical material in a way that makes it relevant for contemporary circumstances, always focusing on the individuals involved in events as well as taking into account the subjectivity of the researcher. In conclusion, but also as a part of the overall rationale for performing the research, the report discusses the immediate importance to modern society of understanding the historical linguistic dynamics between cultures, as represented in translation activity. ii Declaration I declare that this research report is my own unaided work. It is submitted for the degree of Master of Arts: Translation, in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any other degree or examination in any other university. ________________________________ Birgitt Olsen 20th day of November, 2008 iii Acknowledgements My sincere and warm thanks go to my supervisor, Dr Elizabeth Meintjes, for her perspicacious, patient and humorous assistance in the years it to me took complete this research report.

    URANIUM IN THE GROUNDWATER OF THE KALAHARI REGIONS SOUTH OF THE MOLOPO RIVER M. LEVIN, B.B. HAMBLETON-JONES AND M.C.B. SMIT (Nuclear Development Corporation of South Africa (Pty) Ltd., Pretoria) ABSTRACT During the past eight years more than 2 000 groundwater samples have been collected from boreholes in the Kalahari south of the Molopo River. The areas investigated are bounded by the edge of the sandcover in the south and are situated between 20 0 and 25 0 E longitude. The results were interpreted against geological, geohydrological and hydrogeochemical maps compiled for the areas investigated. In the area north of Vryburg (Piet Plessis Block) uranium anomalies in the groundwater were located in basement granite. In the western area between the Korannaberg (22 0 15' E) and the South West Afri ca/Nami bi a border (20 0 E) (Gordonia block) uranium anomalies in the groundwater were found to occur in basement granite, Dwyka Formation and the Kalahari Group. Radiometric borehole logging of a limited number of boreholes confirmed the presence of uranium anomalies within these rock types. Occurrences of uranium were discovered at Tsongnapan in the Dwyka Formation in the form of phosphatic argillaceous nodules in which uranium is associated with apatite. On the farm Rus-en-Vrede near Vanzylsrus, uraniferous diatomaceous earth was discovered at the junction of the Madala palaeodrainage and the Kuruman River. Although no new uranium deposits have been found as a result of this study, several new occurrences of uranium were indicated. A study of the distribution of uranium provinces and its time-bound characteristics suggest that the Kalahari Desert, both in South Africa and Botswana, still holds potential for uranium deposits.
