  • The Role of Regional Councillors in Consultation and Communication Regarding Rural Service Delivery in the Oshana Region of Namibia
    THE ROLE OF REGIONAL COUNCILLORS IN CONSULTATION AND COMMUNICATION REGARDING RURAL SERVICE DELIVERY IN THE OSHANA REGION OF NAMIBIA Tuhafeni Helao A research report submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Administration in the School of Government, Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences, University of the Western Cape. October 2005 Supervisor Prof. C. De Coning i DEDICATION This research report is dedicated to the memory of my late grandmother, Susanna Mhingana Iiyambo; for her courage and advice from my childhood. Her departure on the 24th October 2004 has left a vacuum in the family, and indeed, in me, a memory which will never faint for the rest of my life. That is why I am saying: ‘Hambelela Nyokokulu, Nyoko ngeno ina dalwa’, if loosely translated it means; Praise your grandmother otherwise your mother could not have been born”. Thank you grandmother! ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Whilst I take full responsibility for whatever is presented in this Research Report, I am mindfully aware that it could not have been completed in its entirety without the undivided co-operation of a number of people, who gave their moral support, expertise, experience, views and time. Therefore, I wish to express my gratitude to my wife Emma and my children (Ndalinoshisho, Nangolo, Nelao, Ndeshipanda, Ndahafa and Ndapewa). Your patience, considerate and understanding have made this study a reality and without you being there for me I would never have achieved this. Secondly, I will not do justice to myself if I do not express my gratitude and appreciation to Prof.

    REGENT BUSINESS SCHOOL Data Base of all Research and Research Presentations and Allied Research Activities conducted by the REGENT Business School’s Directorate of Research and Innovation for the period 2002 to December 2016: A REPOSITORY OF ALL RESEARCH CONDUCTED AND UNDERTAKEN 1. INTRODUCTION Humble beginnings by REGENT Business School in Respect to Research: Advancing the South African Research Agenda Against all Odds in a Sustained, Coordinated and Professional Manner. It is our pleasure to document all of the research and allied activities including journal articles published and, undertaken by the REGENT Business School for the period 2002 to December 2016 (A period of 14 Years). It was a difficult task to assemble the data because, this exercise was conducted for the first time and, some of the data was not easily accessible going back to the year 2002, or was not on record within the school. The initial years saw the school finding its feet and, it was a period when research was at a very rudimentary stage and level of development and engagement. i In spite of the difficulties encountered in assembling the data, it was an exercise and, effort that achieved the desired effect of obtaining the maximum data of most of the research conducted by the institution, including allied research activities, over a period of nearly two decades. It was a grueling exercise and we are happy with our efforts of creating a more than adequate data base for scrutiny by management, staff, and outside organizations and formations, including the regulatory authority in the form of the Council on Higher Education (CHE) and the Department of Higher Education.
