It presents primarily qualitative research, and has its origins in a perceived need to go beyond quantitative research. The CSSR was established in 2001 with the goal of strengthening capacity in quantitative social science. One of the CSSR’s major projects was the Cape Area Panel Study (CAPS), for which a ‘panel’ of almost 5 000 adolescents across Cape Town were interviewed repeatedly over several years as they grew into adulthood. CAPS was a joint project of the CSSR and scholars at the University of Michigan, and was co-directed by Jeremy Seekings (from the CSSR) and David Lam (from the University of Michigan). The first wave of interviews was conducted in 2002, and subsequent waves in 2003/04, 2005 and 2006. It soon became clear that progress in understanding transitions into adulthood would require a combination of qualitative and quantitative research, and so an ethnographic research project was initiated within the CSSR in 2004 by Rachel Bray and Jeremy Seekings. Rachel Bray led the ethnographic study and, with Imke Gooskens and Susan Moses, conducted 15 months of fieldwork in the Cape Town neighbourhoods of Masiphumelele, Fish Hoek and Ocean View respectively. This qualitative research proceeded in parallel to the successive waves of CAPS. Analysis of the qualitative data from each neighbourhood was conducted both individually and collaboratively by Imke, Rachel and Sue. Jeremy analysed the quantitative data and participated in discussions about the qualitative research. Rachel Free download from www.hsrcpress.ac.za Free download and Jeremy took responsibility for integrating material into composite chapters, with Rachel taking primary responsibility for about two-thirds of the chapters and Jeremy for one-third. Just about every chapter, however, includes substantial contributions from Rachel, Sue, Imke and Jeremy. The one exception is Chapter 7, for which Lauren Kahn was primarily responsible. Lauren had conducted fieldwork among adolescent girls in the same neighbourhoods in Cape Town, focusing specifically on their friendships and sexual relationships. She incorporated findings from her own research and from the research by Rachel, Imke and Sue into a composite chapter. Every chapter was discussed repeatedly in collective workshops, and read and reread by each member of the team. Both Rachel and Jeremy restructured and rewrote almost every chapter. Some sections of the book have appeared in other forms. Sue, Imke and Lauren drew on their analyses for their master’s dissertations (Gooskens 2006; Kahn 2008; Moses 2005). Jeremy, Sue, Imke and Lauren contributed articles to a special issue of Social Dynamics (32[1] 2006). Rachel and Imke co-wrote an article on the ethics of conducting research with children in Anthropology Southern Africa (Bray & Gooskens 2006). Rachel drew on this and further ethnographic work with mothers ix and young children to co-write work on childcare, poverty and HIV/AIDS with Rene Brandt in, among others, the Journal of Children and Poverty (Bray & Brandt 2007). Most of these papers – and others – were published as working papers in the CSSR Working Paper Series. Ariane de Lannoy, a PhD student in the CSSR, who is researching educational decision-making among young people in Cape Town, provided particular input to Chapter 6. Katherine Ensler, a visiting student from Princeton, assisted with observational research in high schools in Fish Hoek and Masiphumelele. This research was only possible because of the enthusiasm shown by many children and adolescents in Fish Hoek, Ocean View and Masiphumelele, and by many of their family members and neighbours. We are especially grateful to the six teenage residents of the Valley who volunteered to join the team as young researchers: Riccardo Herdien, Thandolwethu Mbi, Karen Painter, Samantha Peacocke, Zahir Slarmie and Siyabulela White. All names used in the text are pseudonyms. We were able to conduct research inside schools through the generous assistance of the principals and teachers at Fish Hoek Primary, Middle and Senior High; Marine Primary; Ocean View Secondary; Ukhanyo Primary; and Masiphumelele High.

    7 41 F.2d 896 United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit. Ronald H. SELLE, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Barry GIBB, et al., Defendants-Appellants, and Ronald H. SELLE, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Barry GIBB, et al., Defendants-Appellants. Nos. 83–2484, 83–2545. | Argued April 13, 1984. | Decided July 23, 1984. Opinion CUDAHY, Circuit Judge. The plaintiff, Ronald H. Selle, brought a suit against three brothers, Maurice, Robin and Barry Gibb, known collectively as the popular singing group, the Bee Gees, alleging that the Bee Gees, in their hit tune, “How Deep Is Your Love,” had infringed the copyright of his song, “Let It End.” The jury returned a verdict in plaintiff’s favor on the issue of liability in a bifurcated trial. The district court, Judge George N. Leighton, granted the defendants’ motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and, in the alternative, for a new trial. Selle v. Gibb, 567 F.Supp. 1173 (N.D.Ill.1983). We affirm the grant of the motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict. I Selle composed his song, “Let It End,” in one day in the fall of 1975 and obtained a copyright for it on November 17, 1975. He played his song with his small band two or three times in the Chicago area and sent a tape and lead sheet of the music to eleven music recording and publishing companies. Eight of the companies returned the materials to Selle; three did not respond. This was the extent of the public dissemination of Selle’s song.1 Selle first became aware of the Bee Gees’ song, “How Deep Is Your Love,” in May 1978 and thought that he recognized the music as his own, although the lyrics were different.

  • Groundwater a Source of Water for the Deep South
    GROUNDWATER A SOURCE OF WATER FOR THE DEEP SOUTH Roger Parsons 1, John Coetzee 2 and Chris Wise 2 1Parsons and Associates Specialist Groundwater Consultants, PO Box 2606 Somerset West 7129. Tel (021) 855-2480. E-mail: [email protected] 2Jeffares and Green (Pty) Ltd ABSTRACT Adequate supply of water to the southern suburbs of Cape Town, including Fish Hoek, Simon’s Town and Noordhoek, is increasingly coming under threat as these suburbs expand and their demand for water increases. Upgrading and expanding existing water reticulation pipelines through Muizenberg to these areas is possible, but will be expensive and disruptive. Alternative sources of water were hence considered, including the construction of a dam at Brooklands above Simon’s Town and development of local groundwater resources. This paper describes the potential for developing groundwater resources to increase a secure supply of water to these areas. INTRODUCTION The area south of Clovelly – including Fish Hoek, Noordhoek, Simon’s Town, Scarborough and Kommetjie – currently obtains water from water resources above Simon’s Town (Lewis-Gay Dam, Kleinplaas Dam, and Rawson Dam) and via a pipeline running through Muizenberg and Kalk Bay. A dam site at Brooklands was identified some 30 years ago as a potential future source of water to augment existing supplies (Figure 1). In response to a land claim – parts of which would be flooded should the dam be built - the City of Cape Town investigated whether the Brooklands Dam site was still required. To be able to make an informed decision regarding the reservation of the land for construction of the Brooklands Dam at some point in the future, the City of Cape Town commissioned a study to investigate water resource and supply options for the area colloquially referred to as the Deep South.

  • Manifesto English
    People’s Bylaw Manifesto for a new Civic Participation Bylaw in Cape Town Background: On the 17th August 2017, eight Civic Associations in Cape Town (Bo Kaap Civic Association, Observatory Civic Association - OCA, Phillipi Horticultural Association, Pinelands Ratepayers Association, Sybrand Park Civic, Woodstock Residents Association, Princess Vlei Forum and Greater Cape Town Civic Alliance - GCTCA) met to explore the possibility of a Civic-led bylaw on participation. The meeting was prompted by our consistent previous experiences of being frustrated in our engagements with local government. All civics reported examples of problematic, unproductive and tokenist engagements, which have left all parties dissatisfied, adversely impacting on the trust of communities in the very democratic processes established by our Constitution to give communities greater voice in decisions affecting them. This initiative seeks to be proactive about the participation we would like to see - by exploring the idea of a Municipal bylaw which would set out terms for participation governing City-civic interactions. Other countries and cities have succeeded in establishing similar kinds of bylaws and systems that try to entrench more meaningful forms of participation. We therefore see this bylaw as a civic-driven initiative intended to consolidate participative processes as part of democratic governance within a city framed as a Commons. It would be based on our Constitutional principles and provide clearer guidance to City officials about how to pursue public participation. How we get to the final outcome and exactly what form the final outcome is to take, will be determined by the Civics who drive this process. But it was felt more important to initiate the process and let the participants define the details as we go forward.
