Thank you for your unstinting efforts to ensure the success of this study. v ABSTRACT Human trafficking is not a recent phenomenon, as it is believed that acts of human abduction for various reasons can be traced back to time immemorial. The manifestation of this crime is escalating, with elusive trends and patterns across the globe and in the Durban policing area (DPA) in particular. However, scholarly investigations into this practice have been avoided for quite some time in the field of humanities, which has exposed society to experience its harmful effects. However, in response to this scourge, relevant stakeholders across the globe have exerted relentless efforts to curb it, with limited success to date as the elusive nature and extent of human trafficking allow the perpetrators to continue their acts with impunity. This crime remains a huge threat to peace and security and violates the human rights of any affected individual. In recent years, this problem has escalated, and its exploitative and manipulative nature has destroyed the lives of thousands. It appears that not only underdeveloped states experience the destructive presence of this form of crime, but that the operations of human trafficking exist globally owing to porous borders and associated corruption. The approach to human trafficking in South Africa should be geared towards a capable system that may inform practices to curb it across the globe. In the South African context, this could be achieved by rigorously implementing available legislation and using collaborative strategies to respond to and eradicate this scourge effectively. The South African Police Service (SAPS) and relevant non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are two of the systems that should not stint their efforts in addressing this crime. To this aim, the SAPS has formed partnerships with different structures such as the International Police (Interpol) and many other NGOs in their quest to respond effectively to human trafficking in the DPA. The research design and methodology of this study employed an exploratory objective. This study thus adopted a qualitative research approach to adequately explore the responses from selected participants representing the SAPS and NGOs regarding human trafficking in the DPA. These participants were probed to learn about the available strategies and legislation in operation that are utilised to respond to human trafficking. The nature of this study allowed purposively and snowballed selected participants to be drawn from the SAPS and NGOs. Five (5) investigators were purposively selected from SAPS while a further five (5) participants were selected from two NGOs operating in the DPA. The snowball sampling technique was used in the latter instance. These participants were all selected to obtain detailed information and to maintain the trustworthiness of this study. Semi-structured one-on-one interviews were vi used as the primary data collection instrument. The thematic analysis method was employed for the analysis of the data. The study found that human trafficking is perpetuated in the DPA due to the current instability in the current partnerships of all the relevant stakeholders (selected SAPS and NGOs included). The findings call for closer societal contributions and collaboration, as the South African criminal justice system (CJS), compared with international responses, evidently does not find common ground in its response to human trafficking. Furthermore, the use of advanced technology to respond to this crime is not adequate. It was suggested that the use of appropriate and advanced technology in responding to this crime is crucial and that the SAPS and NGOs should acquire knowledge and frequent training in using relevant technological devices to respond to human trafficking. This should be coupled with updated changes in the commission of this crime to identify human traffickers and instances of victimisation easily. It is envisaged that this study will be significant in assisting relevant structures such as the SAPS and NGOs in devising new and effective strategies to respond to human trafficking in the DPA. Most importantly, it is acknowledged that the relationship between the SAPS and NGOs is paramount in dealing with this crime; however, NGOs should take further steps in responding to human trafficking by identifying victims themselves instead of heavily relying on the SAPS to perform this duty.

  • Elections in Anglophone African Countries 41 Yolanda Sadie 4 5 3 Youth Participation in Anglophone Africa 79 Victoria Graham
    This book compares the progress ten select countries, all former colonies of Britain, have made towards the practice of democracy. The authors assess a range of indicators including the quality of elections, the impact of voter turnout, the importance of term limits, civil society’s various responsibilities, the presence of media freedoms, the impact of youth participation, accountability and the rising role of social media. These findings help illustrate the various periods within each country’s democracy from the immediate post-colonial experience, to the emergence of one-party states, to the surge of multi-party elections that are being influenced by key political figures and technology. This book will be of great interest to a broad readership including students of politics, international relations and history at tertiary educational institutions as well as the wider readership that is keen to understand what has shaped the post-colonial political experience of some key Anglophone African countries.

    6 ‘Candles are not bright enough’: inclusive urban energy transformations in spaces of urban inequality Federico Caprotti, Jon Phillips, Saska Petrova, Stefan Bouzarovski, Stephen Essex, Jiska de Groot, Lucy Baker, Yachika Reddy and Peta Wolpe Introduction: from voices to energy transformations The gangsters can rob us because there is no electricity and no one can see them coming. (SEA, 2016) There is not sufficient light for our children to study at night – candles are not bright enough. (SEA, 2016) These statements were made by people living in shacks in informal settle- ments in Cape Town, South Africa. These settlements are not serviced by the city authorities, with limited, unaffordable or in some cases no access to electricity or running water in each shack. A few shared toilets were provided, located a short distance away. Although the city authorities were seeking to rehouse some of these communities, the ever-present insecurity of potential relocation to new formal accommodation on the outskirts of the city, far from economic opportunities and serviced infrastructure (SEA, 2010), created a very precarious day-to-day existence. Amid this context of marked and enduring socio-spatial and environmental-economic inequalities (explored more fully in the next section), there have been calls for a national transition away from carbon- intensive and inefficient energy practices. This call is due, in part, to the broader global policy-making context of concern about the impact of climate change, as well as worldwide development trends, such as those enshrined in the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the New Federico Caprotti, Jon Phillips, Saska Petrova, Stefan Bouzarovski, Stephen Essex, Jiska de Groot, Lucy Baker, Yachika Reddy, and Peta Wolpe - 9781526155351 Downloaded from manchesterhive.com at 09/30/2021 09:49:05PM via free access 122 African cities and collaborative futures Urban Agenda (Caprotti et al., 2017) and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Community mobilization is a potential strategy for reducing men’s IPV perpetration, but Community mobilization this has rarely been examined globally. We conducted a mixed-methods process evaluation alongside a trial Intimate partner violence testing community mobilization in peri-urban South Africa. We used in-depth interviews (n=114), participant Sub-Saharan Africa observation (160 h), and monitoring and evaluation data to assess program delivery. Qualitative data (verbatim Informal settlements transcripts and observation notes) were managed in Dedoose using thematic coding and quantitative data were descriptively analyzed using Stata13. We learned that outreach elements of community mobilization were im- plemented with high fidelity, but that critical reflection and local advocacy were difficult to achieve. The context of a peri-urban settlement (characterized by poor infrastructure, migrancy, low education, social margin- alization, and high levels of violence) severely limited intervention delivery, as did lack of institutional support for staff and activist volunteers.
