INTRODUCTION The 1997/98 Survey is the 61st issue since the first one, covering 1935, was published in 1936. The last few Surveys have covered the flood of policy and legislation drawn up to address socio-economic backlogs and racial disparities, many of which the institute had highlighted under the previous government. This is the last Survey before the second general elections in the ‘new South Africa’. The various chapters present a picture, in words, tables, and graphs of trends over time, of what has been achieved thus far and the challenges that continue to face the country. For example, while the market capitalisation of black-owned companies on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange has grown by more then 3 000% since 1994, unemployment is deepening by up to two percentage points a year. On the other hand annual real household income of Africans in the main 12 urban areas increased by 140% between 1990 and 1995. Provision of electricity, water, and telephones in non-serviced areas is gaining momentum. This edition of the Survey focuses on the result of policy implementation. The policy review sections highlight key policy issues, but in keeping with the Survey’s unbiased reporting do not make any policy recommendations. We have also restructured some of the chapters: ‘Living conditions’ now covers information about such things as housing, electrification, water supply, and land; ‘Communications’ file:///G|/ProjWip/Products/Omalley/Tim/05%20Post...0Reports%201994-2000/SAIRR%20Survey%201997-98.HTM (2 of 1406)25/11/2004 15:41:45 PM file:///G|/ProjWip/Products/Omalley/Tim/05%20Post-Transition/T_SAIRR%20Reports%201994-2000/SAIRR%20Survey%201997-98.HTM covers post and telecommunications, and roads and transport. Political violence is covered in the Security chapter, while ‘Business’ focuses on the informal sector, and small and black business. The Survey this year boasts more then 1 700 references, and in excess of 300 tables and charts. The 1998/99 national budget is covered in all the chapters, which is why we have delayed the Survey’s publication this year. In addition, economic forecasts for the period 1998–2000 have been updated to take into account the latest turbulence in the emerging markets. We always try to publish the most recent data. Unfortunately, information from government departments is sometimes not published timeously. For example, the 1996 population census has still not been published in its final form when the Survey went to the printers. Other demographic statistics from the government, such as the 1996 household survey, will be released at the same time as the census. The Survey Has published the preliminary census results and population projections predating the census. While no Additional statistics were available the most recent ones are reproduced. Members seeking more recent statistics or other information can telephone the Institute’s Chief Librarian, Mrs Ellen Potter, at (011)403-3600, fax her at (011)403-3671, or e-mail her at [email protected] Production of the Survey is very expensive. It would not be possible without the support of our sponsors, whose names are listed on the inside fount cover. We are grateful to all of them.

We are grateful to those who provided information, and answered or clarified queries—other non-governmental organizations, trade unions, companies, government officials, members of parliament, officials of political parties, academics, and other researchers. We are indebted to John Gaund and Robin Hamilton for their work editing some of the chapters, we have come to rely on them every year. We are grateful to Sarah Zwane, Carmel Musiker, and Robin Hamilton for their work in style editing file:///G|/ProjWip/Products/Omalley/Tim/05%20Post...0Reports%201994-2000/SAIRR%20Survey%201997-98.HTM (4 of 1406)25/11/2004 15:41:45 PM file:///G|/ProjWip/Products/Omalley/Tim/05%20Post-Transition/T_SAIRR%20Reports%201994-2000/SAIRR%20Survey%201997-98.HTM and checking parts of the typeset manuscript. Naomi Musiker once again compiled our invaluable index. We appreciate her long commitment to the institute and the Survey, and her ability to meet sometimes impossible deadlines. The Institute’s chief librarian, Ellen Potter, assisted by Eunice Halo, Elizabeth Koloko, Pinky Makhubu, Mildred Monyane, Alfred Nkungu, and Prisca Nkungu obtained much of the material and provided the excellent press clipping service essential for the writing of the Survey. We would also like to thank the Institute’s Parliamentary Affairs officer in Cape Town for their assistance. Connie Matthews and Sarah Zwane have typeset the Survey once again. Their dedication to the Survey has meant that over the last few months their responsibilities to their families have taken a back seat, particularly over weekends. We appreciate your willingness to do this. A special word for Connie Matthews: Connie has been at the institute for 28 years. for the greater part of that period before the advent of computers, she laboriously typed out version after version of Survey chapters. It is difficult to imagine these days now how the Survey was produced without the advantage of desktop publishing. Her long service to the institute comes to an end with the completion of this issue of the Survey and the writers would like to thank her and wish her the best for the future. Our thanks go lastly to the Institute’s chief executive, John Kane-Berman, the editor-in-chief, who, being a perfectionist, always pushes us to the limits of our abilities, and sometimes to our endurance too. We hope that the result is a comprehensive and accurate compendium which the reader will find invaluable in understanding the country and the times we live in.

  • A Critical Appraisal of Policy on Educator Post
    A CRITICAL APPRAISAL OF POLICY ON EDUCATOR POST PROVISIONING IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN KWAZULU-NATAL by INBANATHAN NAICKER Thesis submitted in fulfillment of the DOCTOR OF EDUCATION (DEd) in the discipline Education Management and Leadership, School of Education and Development, Faculty of Education, University of KwaZulu-Natal PROMOTER: Prof. Thengani H. Ngwenya DATE SUBMITTED: November 2005 DECLARATION I declare that this thesis titled, A CRITICAL APPRAISAL OF POLICY ON EDUCATOR POST PROVISIONING IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN KWAZULU- NATAL is my own work and that all the sources that have been used or quoted, have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. ______________________ Inbanathan Naicker Reg. No.: 8116342 November 2005 ii ABSTRACT Historically, educator post provisioning in South African public schools has been a contentious issue. Informed by the apartheid ideology, the staffing of schools was skewed both quantitatively and qualitatively in favour of the white population group. In contrast, the schools catering for the black population had to contend with high learner-educator ratios and poorly qualified educators. With the coming into power of the first democratically elected government in 1994 there was growing optimism that equity, redress and social justice would prevail in all spheres of society, including education. In the education arena there were significant attempts at addressing the inequity that prevailed in terms of educator distribution. This study which is grounded in the field of policy analysis, critically analyses the policy on educator post provisioning in public schools in KwaZulu-Natal in the post apartheid era.

LeMelle, Chairman Jennifer Davis, Executive Director MEMORANDUM TO: Key Labor Contacts FROM: Mike Fleshman, Labor Desk Coordinator DATE: June 7, 1994 South Africa After Apartheid: A Whole New Ball Game, With Labor On The Team Friends, The victory parties are finally over and, in the wake of Nelson Mandela's landslide election as South Africa's first-ever Black President, South African workers are returning to their jobs and to the enormous challenges that lie ahead. For the 1.2 million-member Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU), whose support for Mandela's ANC was critical to the movement's runaway 62.5 percent victory, the end of apartheid brings new opportunities for South African workers, but also some new problems. One result of the ANC victory is the presence of key labor leaders in the new government. Two high ranking unionists, former COSATU General Secretary Jay Naidoo, and former Assistant General Secretary Sydney Mufamadi, were named to cabinet posts -- Mufamadi as Minister of Safety and Security in charge of the police, and Naidoo as Minister Without Portfolio, tasked with implementing the ANC/COSATU blueprint for social change, the national Reconstruction and Development Program (RDP). Former National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA) economist Alec Erwin was named Deputy Minister for Finance. Former Mineworkers head Cyril Ramaphosa, elected General Secretary of the ANC in 1991, will exert great influence on the shape of the permanent new constitution as the chair of the parliamentary constitution-writing body.

  • Re-Imagining the Tapestry of Teaching: an Investigation Into Student Teachers’ Outcomes-Based Education (Obe) Instructional Practices
    i RE-IMAGINING THE TAPESTRY OF TEACHING: AN INVESTIGATION INTO STUDENT TEACHERS’ OUTCOMES-BASED EDUCATION (OBE) INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES. by BLANDINA TABITHA MAKINA submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF LITERATURE AND PHILOSOPHY in the subject ENGLISH at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROF L VILJOEN AUGUST 2011 ii DECLARATION Student number 3195-600-8 I declare that RE-IMAGINING THE TAPESTRY OF TEACHING: AN INVESTIGATION INTO STUDENT TEACHERS’ OUTCOMES-BASED EDUCATION (OBE) INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged my means of complete references. Signed: Date: BLANDINA MAKINA iii ABSTRACT This study focussed on teacher training in the context of distance education. It investigated the impact on practice of an English methodology course offered by Unisa’s Department of English Studies at certificate level. The unit of analysis was a group of eight student teachers registered for the module ACEEN26 Teaching English: General Principles offered by Unisa’s Department of English Studies. This module aims to help students to understand the approaches that underpin Outcomes-based Education (OBE) and how these translate into practice in the English First Additional Language (FAL) classrooms. To investigate the participants’ classroom practices, the study adopted an open and inductive approach aimed at gauging their thinking with regard to teaching, learning, assessment and how these understandings reflected OBE practices. The aim was to determine how the eight students made sense of this phenomenon given their own epistemologies within the unique contexts in which they worked.

  • Educational Change in South Africa, 1994-2003 (Executive Summary)
    Part 2 Executive Summary The focus of this case study of education reform is limited to three specific interventions by the South African government: education finance reform, curriculum reform, and the teacher rationalization pro- cess. These three interventions were sampled from a rich mix of reforms because they were initiated very early in the democratic transition and because there is a reasonably sound empirical base from which to make judgments about the efficacy and effectiveness of these interventions. This case study of educational reform in South Africa will present a critical analysis of the reform goals, design, imple- mentation, and impact for each of the three interventions. In the end, the objective of this case report is to contribute new insights and understandings to the global knowledge base on education reforms in developing countries. The post-apartheid government of 1994 inherited one of the most unequal societies in the world. Decades of social and economic discrimination against black South Africans left a legacy of income inequality along racial lines. Furthermore HIV/AIDS constitutes a massive threat to development in Southern Africa. In the general population, 11 percent of South Africans from all walks of life are HIV- positive, with 15.2 percent of this group aged between 15 and 49. Higher rates of infection are found in children aged between 2 and 14. HIV/AIDS impacts education policy reform goals in a number of ways. It erodes participation gains that resulted from reform attempts to broaden access to primary, secondary, and tertiary education given that more and more students either die or drop out of school because of personal illness (HIV/AIDS- infected) or family illness (HIV/AIDS-affected).

  • National Sanitation Policy
    NATIONAL SANITATION POLICY NATIONAL SANITATION TASK TEAM REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA OCTOBER 1996 FOREWORD TO THE WHITE PAPER This policy has been produced in recognition of the many people of our country, and in particular the children, that have endured illness and hardship as a result of not having access to basic information about sanitation or the use of adequate facilities. The National Sanitation Task Team (NSTT) was established as a result of Government’s commitment to improving this situation. The NSTT is a collaborative effort of six government departments and its main tasks are the development of a national policy and a corresponding implementation strategy. The policy is the result of a broad consultative process that started with a Sanitation Think Tank in August 1995. This Think Tank determined the scope and content of the document. In November 1995 the six co-operating departments’ ministers held a joint press conference and released the Draft White Paper on Sanitation. This marked the beginning of a series of provincial workshops which discussed and debated the proposed policy. Some 600 people from a wide range of backgrounds actively participated. The comments, criticisms and suggestions that were made were collated and have been integrated into this document. Sanitation can encompass a wide range of activities, many of which require government policy guidance. In order to make an immediate contribution, this document concentrates on the most pressing of issues, namely the safe disposal of human waste and domestic waste water in conjunction with appropriate health and hygiene practices. There are a number of related issues that require policy and direction, in particular the management and disposal of domestic and other solid waste.
