This rapidly growing organically grown product market has set off many researchers to compare several features of organically and conventionally grown products (De Villiers, 2016; Mditshwa et al., 2017). Consumer demand and preferences for organically grown products have an influence on the agricultural production techniques due to the unpremeditated concerns over conventional products (Bazzani et al., 2017; Hilverda et al., 2017; Miranda-de la Lama et al., 2017; Prada et al., 2017). However, the awareness on harmful effects of chemical residues in conventionally grown products is increasing among consumers. As an alternative to these, consumers drift towards organically grown products (Basha et al., 2015; Hasimu et al., 2017; Mditshwa et al., 2017; Mhlophe, 2015; Scalco et al., 2017; Yazdanpanah & Forouzani, 2015). In South Africa the demand for organically grown products is increasingly becoming more important as consumer attitudes and preferences influence the direction of food retailers’ strategies (De Villiers, 2016; Engel, 2009; Mhlophe, 2015). This is due to consumers’ interests for safe alternatives, exclusively, organically grown products (Olson, 2017; Pedersen et al., 2017). Currently organically grown products are perceived as healthy by most consumers as these are made up of natural elements and mostly preferred compared to conventionally grown products. Hence, there has been a belief that organically grown products are safer and healthier than conventional products, and there are also numerous consumers who are willing to pay large price premiums for them (Pomsanam et al., 2014; Ragavan & Mageh, 2013). Currently, there is little knowledge on South African consumers’ concerns and attitudes towards organically grown products (Engel, 2009; Olivová, 2011; Prinsloo et al., 2012). Studies conducted in South Africa still lack the understanding of consumer perceptions and their purchase intentions (Engel, 2009; Mhlophe, 2015). The manner in which consumers make choices in purchasing food are different and very complex. Hence, consumers are worried about environmental issues, the circumstances cannot be certain that consumer behaviour has improved about organically grown products (Eide & Toft, 2013). Regarding environmental concerns, the relationship about consumer attitude and behaviour is not surely straightforward mostly where the products point out a conflict between environmental safety and product gains. Many consumers claim they have not derived any benefits from organically grown products, which threatens the organically grown products market and the available literature lacks strong evidence to justify claims that organically grown products are better than conventional products (Bonti-Ankomah & Yiridoe, 2006). 2 Methodology 2.1 Description of the Study Site This study was conducted in the Shelly Beach shopping Centre in Port Shepstone. Port Shepstone is found on the lower south coast of KwaZulu-Natal Province under Ray Nkonyeni Local Municipality, which falls under Ugu District Municipality, in South Africa (KZNONLINE, 2016). The study area was selected using a multistage sampling, where out of the 9 provinces in South Africa, the KwaZulu-Natal province was randomly selected and out of 10 districts of the KwaZulu-Natal Province, the Ugu District Municipality was also randomly selected and the town Port Shepstone and the Shelly Beach Shopping Centre were purposefully selected. This area was selected mainly because it is the most focused economic Centre and the upmarket type of place in the Ugu District Municipality in the KwaZulu-Natal Province. Figure 1 shows a map of study area (Shelly Beach Shopping Centre) in Port Shepstone under the Ray Nkonyeni local Municipality. Figure 1: Map showing Ray Nkonyeni Local Municipality Source: Ndovela (2018) 2.2 Research Approach and Design The study adopted a quantitative research approach since it provides flexibility in data handling, as well as with respects to statistical studies, comparative studies, and reiterating of data collection, it confirms the stability of instruments to be used (Vosloo, 2014). The research design that this study followed is a cross- sectional design because it generally uses a survey method to collect data, and it is comparatively cheap and consumes less time to conduct. 2.2.1 Study population The target population were the fruits and vegetable consumers who shop in the organically grown products retail outlets such as, Pick n’ Pay, Spar and Woolworths in Shelly Beach shopping centre. According to Du Plooy (2009), it is of importance to deal with a more adequate sample size to gather precise data about a group. Larger samples are more expressive whereas smaller samples decrease the level of accuracy yet moderately accessible and cheap (Pawlowsky-Glahn & Buccianti, 2011). A sample size of 150 respondents (50 from each store) were interviewed. This sample size was deemed to be large enough to make statistical analysis and as well as small enough to be manageable. The probability systematic random sampling was employed where the targeted sample was systematically picked (every 5th consumer as done by Rahman and Noor (2016)) to be included in the study who purchase organically grown products. 2.3 Data collection Data was collected through structured questionnaires (closed and open-ended questions) by means of a survey method. The questionnaires were given to each respondent found inside one of the “Big three” organic retail outlets and within the fruits and vegetables. The questionnaires were also translated to the most spoken language in the study area, which isiZulu. Data was collected for 5 days after the pay dates; that is the 15th (15th - 20th) of the month since many government professionals (nurses and teachers) are paid during these times and also on the 25th - 30th) which is the end of each month (usually pay dates for other workers). Data was collected in the months of November/December 2017 and January 2018, during working hours (08h00-17h00), because that is the busiest period of each month and the interviews on average

This conflict escalated during the four years of negotiations for a transition to democratic rule, and reached the status of a virtual civil war in the last months before the national elections of April 1994, significantly disrupting the election process. Although the first year of democratic government in South Africa has led to a decrease in the monthly death toll, the figures remain high enough to threaten the process of national reconstruction. In particular, violence may prevent the establishment of democratic local government structures in KwaZulu-Natal following further elections scheduled to be held on November 1, 1995. The basis of this violence remains the conflict between the African National Congress (ANC), now the leading party in the Government of National Unity, and the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), the majority party within the new region of KwaZulu-Natal that replaced the former white province of Natal and the black homeland of KwaZulu. Although the IFP abandoned a boycott of the negotiations process and election campaign in order to participate in the April 1994 poll, following last minute concessions to its position, neither this decision nor the election itself finally resolved the points at issue. While the ANC has argued during the year since the election that the final constitutional arrangements for South Africa should include a relatively centralized government and the introduction of elected government structures at all levels, the IFP has maintained instead that South Africa's regions should form a federal system, and that the colonial tribal government structures should remain in place in the former homelands.

  • The Complexity of Community Building and Identity Formation in the 19Th and 20Th Centuries: Case Studies from South Africa and the Americas

All rights reserved www.ijsk.org/ijrss THE COMPLEXITY OF COMMUNITY BUILDING AND IDENTITY FORMATION IN THE 19TH AND 20TH CENTURIES: CASE STUDIES FROM SOUTH AFRICA AND THE AMERICAS Nokuthula Cele Culture and Heritage Tourism, University of KwaZulu-Natal, School of Social Sciences, Durban, South Africa. Abstract Community building, as opposed to ethnicity, seems more appropriate as a unit of analysis in the study of human settlements in KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa), the Americas and elsewhere in the 19th and 20th centuries. The KwaMachi chiefdom, in the far south of KwaZulu-Natal (one of the provinces in the north east of South Africa), and other cases in the United States are being used in this essay as examples to show how complex community building has always been. Analysis of the processes of community building in KwaZulu-Natal and the Americas shows that it is often difficult to categorize people along a single line. People of various backgrounds in the regions influenced the development of their own communities. Locating my case studies of KwaZulu-Natal and the Americas within this context, I argue that official and rigid distinctions are not completely dominant due to ongoing interaction through migrations, creation and shifting of identity boundaries, and other alliances, all of which clouded and undermined ethnic homogenization. Human settlements have been shaped by diverse socio-cultural transformations in which multiple identities operated in parallel and intersecting lines, where cultures were modified as people incorporated many cultural elements at local level.

  • The Historiography of the Kwamachi People: a Frontier Community Between Amazulu and Amampondo in the Nineteenth Century1
    JOURNAL OF NATAL AND ZULU HISTORY, 27 (2009) 1-21 COPYRIGHT 2009 THE HISTORIOGRAPHY OF THE KWAMACHI PEOPLE: A FRONTIER COMMUNITY BETWEEN AMAZULU AND AMAMPONDO IN THE 1 NINETEENTH CENTURY Nokuthula P. Cele University of KwaZulu-Natal Abstract This article examines the establishment of the KwaMachi chieftaincy in Harding, on the south coast of KwaZulu-Natal in the early nineteenth century. This province is often associated with popular notions of ethnic history that see all Africans living in KwaZulu-Natal as AmaZulu. This universal outlook not only fails to acknowledge the significance of the history of pre-Shakan communities, it also does not take into consideration borderland communities whose history has been shifting in time, and who should be understood in terms of their unique history. Analysis of the processes of community building in what became KwaZulu-Natal shows that it is often difficult to categorize people along a single ethnic line. People of various backgrounds in the region influenced the development of their own communities as well as the definition of “Zuluness”. Locating KwaMachi within this context, I argue on the basis of archival and oral research that official and rigid distinctions are not completely dominant due to ongoing interaction through migrations, creation and shifting of colonial boundaries, and marriages and other alliances, all of which clouded and undermined ethnic homogenization. Such distinctions rarely have been incorporated into the subject literature. The construction of Zulu identity in the KwaZulu-Natal province was thus not a fixed practice; it underwent various processes defined by social and political dynamics emerging at different times in history.
