He is the author of the Handbook of South African Public Administration – a self-published book by Reach Publishers. He previously served as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Pretoria, School of Public Management and Administration before joining Milpark Education as the Head of the School of Government and Public Management in 2017 and currently heading the Department of Research in the Business School.

The aims of this special issue are, first, to provide African scholars with a platform to showcase their work and communicate with one another within the international marketplace of academic ideas and secondly, to inform the global readership of this journal about a continent whose management and governance practices are not well-known. The subject coverage includes topics encompassing public sector administrative reforms and innovations; corporate governance and risk management; contracting out of public services, monitoring and evaluation; and leadership. The first paper, ‘Progress made towards achieving Rwanda’s Vision 2020 key indicators’ targets’ by Dominique Uwizeyimana examines the potential significance of monitoring and evaluation related to the interim evaluation report on the Government of Rwanda’s (GoR) progress towards achieving the objectives of Vision 2020 after 17 years of its implementation.

E-mail: [email protected] Tshediso Joseph Sekhampu School of Commerce, Milpark Education, Johannesburg, South Africa. E-mail: [email protected] Paul-Francois Muzindutsi School of Economics, North-West University, Vanderbijlpark, South Africa. E-mail: [email protected] Doi:10.5901/mjss.2014.v5n8p94 Abstract Gender is one of the crucial concepts in the analysis and eradication of poverty. Understanding the link between gender and poverty may assist in developing policies that can have the greatest impact on poverty alleviation. This study used household level data to comparatively analyse the level of access to basic necessities among female and male-headed households in a South African township of Kwakwatsi. Using a simple random sample procedure, 225 households were surveyed in April 2013. A questionnaire was used to collect the relevant information needed in order to assess the level of access to basic necessities. The Lived Poverty Index was used as a measurement of people’s capacity to get the basic necessities of life. Findings of this study showed that major challenges in Kwakwatsi Township relate to access to medical treatment, electricity and clean water. Female-headed households reported higher incidences of lack of access to basic necessities than male-headed households.

The old truths suggest that to lead, leaders must have foresight. They must lead by example; they must motivate and inspire on a moral basis, through aspiration as well as recognition and reward. It is precisely this calm, considered, and ethical leadership, required to lead and inspire large numbers of people that seems in short supply today. This has been made even more challenging considering the Covid-19 pandemic. Cognisant of the drivers of change, the megatrends, and the global pandemic impacting on society, we are aware of the responsibility and trust that we as a business school of the next generation of leaders bear. Hence, ethical and sustainable business practices is at the heart of our teaching and research philosophy.
