It was the first step in a recycling initiative led by Social Work intern Liziwe Pepese. ‘My brief was to engage the community in something that would help its growth and development,’ said the St Mary’s intern. ‘I hope this project will restore a sense of responsibility towards our environment, our people as well as our animals. We also hope that through a recycling project we would be able to help families generate an income.’ Photo: Sue Maclennan PRE-OWNED We ServiceVACANCY and Repair all 2018 Hyundai Creta 1.6D Exec Auto R389,900 2017 Hyundai Tucson 2.0 Premium Auto R329,900 makes &Receptionist models of vehicles 2017 Hyundai i10 1.1 Motion Manual R129,900 We are looking for a vibrant and 2016 Hyundai Tucson 2.0 Prem Manual R295,900 RMI Accredited 2016 Hyundai Accent Hatch 1.6 Fluid R195,900 energetic Receptionist to join our team at ANNETTE 082 267 7755 [email protected] 2014 Hyundai H100 2.6D Bakkie R165,900 Lens Auto Hyundai.

We decided to begin with a map – a map that hopefully presents a broad picture of how far we’ve already come in Africa towards the goal of achieving a “digital information commons”, as well as providing some sense of how to grow it further. We have tried to chart the international, regional and national policies, players and movements that to some extent dictate the scope of the commons in Africa, and at the same time to outline some of the creative responses from people on the ground working towards the expansion of the commons in some way.

In the poster, we highlight the numerous advancements made in South Africa in medicine, astronomy, information technology etc. We also celebrate the binary code, invented by Gottfried Leibniz, which has formed the basis for technological advancements. The binary code on the poster reads ‘Innovation 4.0’. The technological advancements of the Fourth Industrial Revolution are no longer futuristic concepts - they are a reality. While many fear that machines will take over the world, we seek to remind people that the world will always need human brilliance, human ingenuity and human skills, because at the very center of all these advancements, is the human brain. We pay tribute to this amazing organ, which has shaped how the world works today. Another element in the poster that represents how vital humans are to innovation is the bone x-ray of the chest, which emphasizes how we are the supporting structure to this transformation of our world. The DNA helix celebrates the new advancement in CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats), where the technology of the CRISPR/Cas system CRISPR/Cas9 has been modified to edit genomes. These editing techniques have many potential applications, including medicine and crop seed advancement.

  • ICT in Education in South Africa
    SURVEY OF ICT AND EDUCATION IN AFRICA: South Africa Country Report ICT in Education in South Africa by Shafika Isaacs June 2007 Source: World Fact Book1 Please note: This short Country Report, a result of a larger infoDev-supported Survey of ICT in Education in Africa, provides a general overview of current activities and issues related to ICT use in education in the country. The data presented here should be regarded as illustrative rather than exhaustive. ICT use in education is at a particularly dynamic stage in Africa; new developments and announcements happening on a daily basis somewhere on the continent. Therefore, these reports should be seen as “snapshots” that were current at the time they were taken; it is expected that certain facts and figures presented may become dated very quickly. The findings, interpretations and conclusions expressed herein are entirely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the view of infoDev, the Donors of infoDev, the World Bank and its affiliated organizations, the Board of Executive Directors of the World Bank or the governments they represent. The World Bank cannot guarantee the accuracy of the data included in this work. The boundaries, colors, denominations, and other information shown on any map in this work do not imply on the part of the World Bank any judgment of the legal status of any territory or the endorsement or acceptance of such boundaries. It is expected that individual Country Reports from the Survey of ICT and Education in Africa will be updated in an iterative process over time based on additional research and feedback received through the infoDev web site.

  • Woody Species Composition and Congregant Appreciation of the Cultural and Spiritual Services Provided by Cemeteries and Church Gardens in Grahamstown, South Africa
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by South East Academic Libraries System (SEALS) Woody species composition and congregant appreciation of the cultural and spiritual services provided by cemeteries and church gardens in Grahamstown, South Africa A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE at RHODES UNIVERSITY by PETER JAMES GERARD DE LACY October 2014 ABSTRACT Urbanization has increased rapidly throughout the world. The densification of urban areas has greatly reduced the number of natural areas occurring within the urban environment as well as impacting the ecosystem services that these areas provide. Urban greening and sustainable practices have been advocated as a means to once again provide the urban population with ecosystem services. Sacred natural areas that occur in surrounding forest, temple and cemetery sites have been known harbour a variety of biological diversity, as well as provide people with a number of cultural and spiritual benefits. Much of the literature on sacred natural sites comes from rural or eastern countries, leaving a large gap in the knowledge pertaining to information on these sites in both developed nations as well as urban areas. The aim of this study was to determine the abundance and composition of woody species, as well as the spiritual and cultural significance of sacred natural sites in Grahamstown. This study defined a sacred urban area as any form of garden surrounding a church, temple or mosque, as well as cemeteries. It looked at a total of 28 church gardens, one Hindu garden, one Mosque garden and five cemeteries in Grahamstown, South Africa.
