  • Historical Evolution of Durban's Public Transport System and Challenges For
    Historical evolution of Durban’s public transport system Historical evolution of Durban’s public transport system and challenges for the post-apartheid metropolitan government Sultan Khan School of Social Sciences University of KwaZulu-Natal [email protected] Abstract The history of public transport in Durban is characterised by a diverse set of socio-political forces that have shaped and styled its present form. Characterised by horse and cart driven coach modes of transport in the early colonial period, Durban’s transport systems’ transition to motorised forms has been founded on racial exclusionary measures that sought to sustain white monopoly over the economic sector at the expense of under-development of the vast majority of disenfranchised Blacks in the city. In its transport history different modes of conveyance were used and it rapidly adapted to motorised transport which placed Durban in the forefront of economic prosperity. To Durban’s credit its transport sector boasts to have made a transition from exotically human drawn rickshas, to an animal drawn tram which was later superseded by electric driven trams. Durban was the first province to have introduced the railway mode of transport which served as a foundation for its economic growth. Notwithstanding these achievements, both during colonialism and apartheid the transport sector excluded the majority of the Black populace in the city and even when it did include them strict racial separation was maintained. Under apartheid transport engineering was heightened to keep racial groups apart and Durban was the first city to respond to the notorious Group Areas Act which created racial enclaves in the form of townships for the different race groups.

  • The Impact of Supporter Experience at the Jonsson Kings Park Stadium on the Sharks Brand
    The impact of supporter experience at the Jonsson Kings Park Stadium on The Sharks brand By Robyn Wheeler (15017776) Research Methodology Subject code: RESM8419 Supervisor: Gareth Gray Honours in the Bachelor of Arts in Strategic Brand Communications Word count: 11754 words I hereby declare that the Research Report submitter for the Honors in Strategic Brand Communication degree to The Independent Institute of Education is my own work and has not previously been submitted to another University or Higher Education Institution for degree purposes. Abstract 1 This small-scaled study reviewed supporters experiences within a sports stadium and their impact on a brand. The research specifically is centred around The Sharks brand and the Jonsson Kings Park Stadium, the home stadium of The Sharks rugby team. Rugby is a competitive sport that participates within South Africa’s heritage. This generated from the existence and the attendance to the home stadium of The Sharks. Attenders to the stadium have been declining due to supporters reducing their purchases of the stadium tickets. This study reviews themes that are common to sport stadiums that have suffered within similar scenarios. The information gathered in this study was accumulated through a qualitative approach. This would allow for flexibility of revealing deep insights during the entire primary research. The methodology of research performed involved focus groups and an online survey. The insights received from this, directed meaningful findings and recommendations that aspires to assist The Sharks by providing useful data to increase attenders to the stadium. It was concluded through the research that supporters do not value the stadium experience.

  • The Official Magazine of the Durban Ramblers Hiking Club Th 4 Quarter: October to December - 2019
    C/O The Chairman 14 Edgecliffe Park 14 Bartle Road GILLITS 3610 http://durbanramblers.co.za [email protected] Banking Details: Nedbank Musgrave Account No 1138655228 Branch Code 1301 2600 THE OFFICIAL MAGAZINE OF THE DURBAN RAMBLERS HIKING CLUB TH 4 QUARTER: OCTOBER TO DECEMBER - 2019 CHAIRMAN’S RAMBLINGS Hiking is a wonderful activity, as it helps rejuvenate our body and compliments general fitness. This brings me to the controversial topic of walking /hiking with the aid of a walking stick or hiking poles. A lot of folk say it is not necessary, but at times using a walking stick makes sense. Let us look at walking sticks vs. hiking poles. Walking sticks are used individually, usually made from wood, decorated in some fashion showing its origin. Best used on flat terrain, but it is also good for support on uneven terrain, crossing water and when ascending or descending hills. The disadvantage is that one tends to overly lean to one side, which may cause a stumble or fall on terrain that is not flat. So, when using a walking stick, use it with the least amount of load on it. Hiking poles are usually designed in pairs, but can be used as a single pole. They have adjustable length and can be altered depending on the terrain. They usually have straps, but can be hazardous when falling- best not to use the straps. Hiking poles take pressure off the knees during steep descents, give extra security and grip. Because of their adjustability, for ascents length is reduced, for descents they can be lengthened.

  • Capital Expenditure Project Listing
    CAPITAL EXPENDITURE PROJECT LISTING 1 January 1993 to 31 December 2016 NEDBANK GROUP ECONOMIC UNIT 07 February 2017 NOTES: Definition: The schedule is a listing of capital projects announced in the Republic of South Africa. It includes: Only projects valued at R20 million or more. Projects of an expansionary nature, i.e. capex which allows for an increase in the level of output, rather than pure replacement investment which involves the replacement of worn-out or outdated capital goods necessary for the continued operation and the maintenance of current output levels. The exceptions are: investment in equipment or machinery which reduces the harmful effects of pollution, and technological upgrading of equipment and machinery. Projects funded by both the private and public sectors. Projects reflecting direct foreign involvement. The listing is compiled on a sectoral basis, conforming to the Standard Industrial Classification. Limitations: Any analysis of the data needs to take account of the limitations outlined below: The schedule highlights significant areas of investment expenditure and not the absolute total value of all capital investment undertaken in the country. It serves as a rough guide to the general direction in which investment is moving and as an indication of the level of confidence in the economy. The full extent of replacement capital expenditure is not captured as mainly expansionary capital expenditure are published and recorded. In certain sectors a reliable indication of investment activity is not possible as typical investments are not large enough to be included in the schedule, even though the total capital expenditure in the sector may be substantial.
