Despite a growing body of literature that advocates the use of wordless picture books in educational and literacy development, not much research exists on their use within the South African context exists. Additionally, there are few locally published wordless picture books available in South Africa, with the market being dominated by American and European imports. Those that do exist locally lack variety and are largely labelled as educational.

  • Costing the South African Public Library and Information Services Bill
    PROJECT REPORT Costing the South African Public Library and Information Services Bill August 2013 This page is intentionally left blank Acknowledgements The Cornerstone team thanks Puleng Kekana, Joey van Zyl and Rose Phasha from the National Department of Arts and Culture for their support throughout the project, for their valuable feedback as part of the steering committee and for ensuring all administrative process ran smoothly. A special thanks to Judy Naidoo from National Treasury and Koekie Meyer from the Gauteng Department of Sports, Arts Culture and Recreation, who were also part of the steering committee. We thank them for their valuable and timely comments on reports and contributions during meetings. We would like to make particular mention of Jan Hattingh, Elsabe Rossouw and Rigard Lemmer for their work, spanning many years now, which has made it possible for the National Treasury to produce high quality budget data. Also at National Treasury, we thank Hennie Swanepoel and Daniel Makoni who assisted in providing electronic access to national and provincial budget information. We are conscious of the effort they made to ensure we received data we could work with. Mzi Shabangu at STATSSA provided population data at the ward level and made a special effort to ensure we had a dataset that we could merge with the schools data from the Department of Basic Education. Without his help, the detailed methodologies discussed in this report would not have been possible. We would also like to commend the Department of Basic Education for making schools data at the ward level available for download on their website.
