Webster 1, Arsalan Emami-Khoyi 1, Jacobus C. van Dyk 2, Peter R. Teske 1 and Bettine Jansen van Vuuren 1,* 1 Centre for Ecological Genomics and Wildlife Conservation, Department of Zoology, University of Johannesburg, Auckland Park, Gauteng 2006, South Africa; [email protected] (H.J.W.); [email protected] (A.E.-K.); [email protected] (P.R.T.) 2 Department of Zoology, University of Johannesburg, Auckland Park, Gauteng 2006, South Africa; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 13 October 2020; Accepted: 5 November 2020; Published: 7 November 2020 Simple Summary: Cities are the fastest developing ecosystems on the planet. The rapid expansion of urban areas is typically seen as a threat to global biodiversity, yet the role of cities in protecting species that may be rare in the wild remains poorly explored. Here, we report the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) to document the species present in one of the largest urban green spaces in Johannesburg, South Africa. We document a surprisingly large number of taxonomic groups, including some rare and threatened species. Our results support the notion that urban green spaces can provide refuge to a large number of species, and the species inventory provides critical information that can be used by city parks managers to conserve green spaces. Abstract: Adaptation to environments that are changing as a result of human activities is critical to species’ survival. A large number of species are adapting to, and even thriving in, urban green spaces, but this diversity remains largely undocumented.

  • The Road Between Sandton and Alexandra Township: a Fanonian Approach to the Study of Poverty and Privilege in South Africa
    The road between Sandton and Alexandra Township: a Fanonian approach to the study of poverty and privilege in South Africa By Raimond Nyapokoto Submitted in accordance with the requirements for The degree of MASTER OF ARTS In the subject DEVELOPMENT STUDIES At the University of South Africa Supervisor: Prof Sabelo. J. Ndlovu-Gatsheni November 2014 Student number: 36420174 i I declare that The road between Sandton and Alexandra Township: a Fanonian approach to the study of poverty and privilege in South Africa is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. ________________________ _____________________ SIGNATURE DATE (Mr) ii Abstract The key challenge to socio-economic transformation in South Africa is closing the gap between the poor and the rich. What is distinctive about South Africa is the uneasy coexistence of poverty and opulence. This study seeks to explore the structural, historical roots of poverty among the blacks in South Africa by deploying Fanonian Critical Decolonial theory. This is the ideal theoretical approach to unmask the structural causes of poverty and inequality in South Africa. Colonial ambitions and the global political engineering of the world by America and Europe spans more than four hundred years, and is still very much alive today in subtle forms. This study asserts that this imperial history is the cause of poverty, lack of agency, and the hellish conditions under which many black people live. The rise of industrial capitalism and attendant urbanisation is at the core of this impoverishment of the black man.
