Conducting publication excellence<br />
Successful strategic <strong>co</strong>mmunication requires the development of an innovative and<br />
creative <strong>co</strong>mmunication solution that reaches the desired audience with the desired<br />
message. It requires a unique approach to publication management in the form of<br />
orchestrated publication design.<br />
An orchestrated publication depends on the integrated, streamlined production of<br />
publications by a team of editorial and publication design professionals. The value of<br />
this process lies in the project management approach that is applied in the production<br />
of publications without unnecessary time and money being spent liaising with different<br />
service providers.<br />
The s<strong>co</strong>pe of projects and the range of clients that have benefited from this are approach<br />
are vast. Projects include magazines, newsletters, reports, promotional material, books,<br />
training material and <strong>co</strong>rporate profiles.<br />
Your publication is our masterpiece!<br />

Magazines and newsletters<br />
Magazines, periodicals and newsletters are publications, generally published on a<br />
regular schedule, that <strong>co</strong>ntain a variety of articles. JSES specialises in the production of<br />
<strong>co</strong>rporate titles that are targeted at a specific audience.<br />
How about this: The Gentleman’s Magazine, first published in London in 1731, is<br />
<strong>co</strong>nsidered to have been the first general-interest magazine. Edward Cave, who edited<br />
The Gentleman’s Magazine under the pen name Sylvanus Urban, was the first to use<br />
the term magazine, on the analogy of a military storehouse of varied material, originally<br />
derived from the Arabic makhazin (storehouses).<br />

acquisition of this equipment was<br />
made possible by financial support<br />
from Sasol Technology through joint<br />
research interest in the chemistry<br />
that underpins the physical properties<br />
of diesel fuels.<br />
Sasol reports that the study of the<br />

Soccer fun league<br />
The soccer fun league, which was initiated to <strong>co</strong>incide with the<br />
World Cup, became so popular at the Faculty of Veterinary<br />
Science that it may be<strong>co</strong>me an annual institution.<br />
The soccer fun league ended on a high note when the semi-finals and<br />
final were played from 12:30 to 14:00 on Wednesday, 9 June. The team<br />
from the Department of Companion Animal Clinical Studies – the CACS<br />
Kings – was eventually crowned as the league’s champions when they<br />
beat the Department of Veterinary Tropical Diseases (DVTD) 1–0 in a<br />
fiercely <strong>co</strong>ntested final. The two teams were awarded gold- and silverplated<br />
medals. An invitational challenge between the Dean’s Team and<br />
the winner of a play-off between the Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute<br />
(OVI) and Onderstepoort Biological Products (OBP), the other two<br />
institutions in the so-called Onderstepoort Veterinary Complex, was also<br />
played. The Dean’s Team defended bravely against the OVI, who won<br />
their match against OBP, but eventually succumbed to a 0–1 defeat.<br />
Twelve teams <strong>co</strong>mpeted in the six-week-long league. With its own special<br />
rules, such as eight-minute games, no goalkeeper and two women on<br />
the field at all times, and teams such as the Anatomy Skeletons, the<br />
CACS Kings and the Young Brazilians, the league was destined to be<br />
a special fun-filled event. The out<strong>co</strong>me was beyond expectations. After<br />
fierce <strong>co</strong>mpetition between the teams, one student team, one support<br />
services team and two academic department teams ensured the top<br />
spots in two groups.<br />
The finals were preceded by an opening ceremony and a parade. The<br />
2010 World Cup was a novel event for our <strong>co</strong>untry and the faculty seized<br />
this opportunity to lend its voice and enthusiasm to the growing spirit<br />
in the <strong>co</strong>untry. This opening ceremony was designed so that everybody<br />
<strong>co</strong>uld <strong>co</strong>ntribute their personal energy to the tournament and showcase<br />

mosaïekkunswerk geskep. ’n Rooster is geskep deur 2 112 m<br />
tou en 128 spykers te gebruik wat op die grasperk uitgelê is. Die<br />
voltooide kunswerk, wat sowat drie ure geneem het om te pak,<br />
was 961 m 2 groot.<br />
Die kartondose is geskenk deur Atlas Box, en die kunsstudente,<br />
asook studente van Taaibos, Klaradyn, Zinnia, Mopanie, Kiaat en<br />
Zeus, het die dose gevou.<br />
Volgens prof Margaret Slabbert, Departementshoof van Visuele<br />
Kunste aan die Universiteit, het die skepping van hierdie reuseskildery<br />
van die Eeufeesroos die kunsmaakproses herdefinieer ten<br />
opsigte van verskillende aktiwiteite, denkwyses en rolle wat ten<br />
opsigte van die estetika van modernisme gehandhaaf is. “Die projek<br />
het behels dat studente en personeel op die kampus met ’n breë,<br />
gediversifiseerde gehoor kommunikeer en in wisselwerking tree<br />
deur met kosprodukte by te dra tot die verligting van armoede in hul<br />
onmiddellike gemeenskap,” sê prof Slabbert.<br />
Die bekende rooskweker, Ludwig Taschner, het op versoek van<br />
die Universiteit die roos spesiaal gekweek. Die roos, Universiteit<br />
van Pretoria Eeufees, is op 9 Oktober 2007 deur prof Calie<br />
Pistorius, Visekanselier en Rektor, tydens ’n tuinparty voor die Ou<br />
Letteregebou vernoem. Prof Piet Hoek, alumnus en voormalige<br />

bone walls of the leg bones. Nevertheless, the rate at which calcium and<br />
phosphate must be accumulated suggested that giraffes must have special<br />
sources of these minerals. An obvious candidate was bones, as giraffes<br />
display osteophagia, the bi<strong>za</strong>rre habit of chewing bones, more frequently<br />
than any other ruminant. It is especially prominent in mature pregnant<br />
female giraffes and when browse nutritional levels are low between May<br />
and September. The hypothesis that bones are the source of minerals<br />
was studied by Ian Bredin, who was awarded an MSc for his work. He<br />
studied the entirely logical proposition that ingested bones are dissolved in<br />
the chemical environment of the rumen, thus freeing the minerals for use<br />
by the giraffes. However, Bredin showed for the first time that bones do<br />
not dissolve in the rumen and so this source of minerals is not available<br />
to giraffes nor, probably, to any other ruminant either. Another <strong>co</strong>nclusion<br />
was that the source of minerals most likely is Acacia sp, which appears to<br />
have <strong>co</strong>-evolved with giraffes. However, e<strong>co</strong>logical research remains to<br />
establish the validity of this idea and the <strong>co</strong>nnections that might indicate<br />
<strong>co</strong>-evolution between giraffes and acacias, especially with regard to the<br />
importance of nutrition.<br />
An ambitious sequel to these studies has been a quite outstanding attempt<br />
by Brand van Sittert to describe the growth patterns of giraffe bones, a<br />
study which on <strong>co</strong>mpletion will earn Van Sittert a PhD. This project has<br />
been made possible by the extraordinarily generous support of the<br />
personnel of the Bubye Valley Conservancy in southeast Zimbabwe,<br />
where giraffes have to be culled for management purposes each year.<br />
Since 2006, this <strong>co</strong>nservancy has been the giraffe research programme’s<br />
source of research material and the key to its ongoing success. Van Sittert<br />
has <strong>co</strong>llected and analysed in meticulous detail the anatomy of each<br />
vertebra (the axial skeleton) and the leg bones (the appendicular skeleton)<br />
obtained from 50 giraffes ranging in age from foetuses to mature adults.<br />
It is a monumental study that is unlikely to ever be repeated. Van Sittert<br />
argued against a recent suggestion that the giraffe has eight cervical<br />
vertebrae and agreed with previous workers that the elongated neck is<br />
achieved within the mammalian <strong>co</strong>nstraint of seven cervical vertebrae. This<br />
is achieved through a significantly higher growth rate in cervical vertebrae<br />
and the function of the seventh cervical<br />
vertebra being in<strong>co</strong>rporated into the<br />
first thoracic vertebrae, effectively<br />
‘adding’ a vertebra that can <strong>co</strong>ntribute<br />
to neck elongation. He also found that<br />
elongation of cervical vertebrae follows<br />
a unique pattern and is triggered at birth<br />
by an unknown mechanism, as prior to<br />
birth their growth rate is the same as all<br />
the other vertebrae.<br />
Another out<strong>co</strong>me of this study was to<br />
show that the sexual selection theory<br />
for the origin of the giraffe’s long neck is<br />
false. This theory proposed that a long<br />
neck is the result of selection for long<br />
strong necks in male giraffes who use<br />
them to obtain reproductive dominance.<br />
An analysis of the data <strong>co</strong>llected for the<br />
skeleton study has shown very clearly that there is no difference between<br />
the growth patterns of the neck in male and female giraffes and that the<br />
necks of female giraffes in fact grow faster and are longer than they are in<br />
males, although not as heavily muscled. This study was highlighted in BBC<br />
Earth News in May 2009.<br />
At the same time that the skeletal data was being <strong>co</strong>llected, a number of<br />
other students – in particular Carl-Heinz Moeller, David Roberts and Kyle<br />
Piears – were gathering extensive data on the structure of the giraffe’s<br />
heart and blood vessels and the trachea (windpipe) and lungs. An analysis<br />
of the data has resulted in a publication that has defined the anatomy<br />
and functions of the jugular valves in giraffes. Another analysis resulted<br />
in the most <strong>co</strong>mprehensive description to date of how the structure of<br />
the walls of the heart change as the neck elongates in order to provide<br />
the high blood pressure necessary to ensure adequate blood flow to the<br />
brain. This research was featured in BBC Earth News in November 2009.<br />
The mechanism that <strong>co</strong>ntrols the blood pressure of giraffes was further<br />
elaborated on in <strong>co</strong>llaboration with Prof Julian Paton at the University<br />
of Bristol and Prof John Dickinson at the University of London in the<br />
UK. This analysis suggested that a single unifying thesis for the origin<br />
of the physiological high blood pressure in giraffes and the pathological<br />
hypertension in man was that a central blood pressure sensor existed in<br />
the brain and regulated blood pressure to ensure adequate brain blood<br />
flow. Many new possible causes and avenues for the treatment of human<br />
hypertension have been opened up by this synthesis of ideas.<br />
Similarly, the data has allowed the description of the changes undergone<br />
by the respiratory system as giraffes grow. Clearly, the long neck imposes<br />
<strong>co</strong>mplications for the flow of air to the lungs, and the shape of the giraffe’s<br />
thorax (arising from the need to provide a stable platform for the articulation<br />
of the neck) results in much smaller lungs than expected. Giraffes<br />
appear to have over<strong>co</strong>me these difficulties by having a much narrower<br />
trachea than expected, thereby reducing the amount of air caught up in<br />
the trachea at any moment, and by having unique lung properties that<br />
allow adequate gas exchange despite a relatively small volume of lung.<br />

he 2009 South African Women In<br />
TDialogue (SAWID) Dialogue, hosted<br />
at the Birchwood Conference Centre<br />
in Boksburg from the 29th of November<br />
to the 2nd of December 2009, was<br />
a dialogue with a difference. It was<br />
the result, not only of extensive input<br />
throughout the year by women from<br />
the provinces, experts in academia,<br />
business and the public sector, but<br />
also of a process by which the women<br />
of South Africa crystallized their<br />
intention to participate actively in the<br />
development agenda of their <strong>co</strong>untry.<br />
SAWID for relevance and sustainability,<br />
and the <strong>co</strong>ordination of the existing<br />
women’s structures and formations in<br />
South Africa into a <strong>co</strong>herent women’s<br />
movement to belabor a transformative<br />
agenda for nation building and global<br />
engagement.<br />
The main themes that occupied<br />
women’s attention during the year<br />
were the critical emerging issue of the Ms Mathabo Kunene, IsiGodlo Trustee<br />
Global Financial Crisis and its effect on and Acting Executive Manager of<br />
the lives of women; the repositioning of SAWID.<br />
Wat is die huidige situasie?<br />
Op die oomblik (in die tweede week van Maart<br />
2010) is daar geen varkgriep van H1N1-oorspong<br />
in Suid-Afrika in omloop nie. Die paar onlangs<br />
bevestigde gevalle het óf na ʼn land met varkgriep<br />
gereis, óf was in aanraking met ʼn besoeker uit ʼn<br />
land met varkgriep.<br />
Wat kan ons in 2010 in Suid-Afrika<br />
verwag?<br />
Dit is moeilik om te voorspel wat vanjaar in Suid-<br />
Afrika gaan gebeur. Uit lande in die noordelike<br />
halfrond se ervaring met die tweede vlaag<br />
pandemiese H1N1, blyk dit dat dit moontlik is dat die<br />
siekte vroeër kan terugkeer as wat gewoonlik die<br />
geval is met seisoenale griep. Dit beteken dat ons al<br />
van April af op die uitkyk moet wees vir pandemiese<br />
H1N1 in pasiënte met griepagtige simptome. Dit is<br />
verder ook moontlik dat vanjaar se pandemie nie so<br />
lank sal duur soos verlede jaar s’n nie.<br />
Suid-Afrika gaan die 2010 FIFA Sokkerwêreldbeker<br />
in ons winterseisoen aanbied. Dit sal ʼn groot<br />
instroming van buitelanders beteken, wat enorme<br />
potensiaal het vir die inbring en oordrag van<br />
pandemiese griep. Ons moet gedurende hierdie<br />
tydperk daarop voorbereid wees om gevalle<br />
wat vermoedelik pandemiese griep is, vinnig te<br />
diagnoseer en te bestuur.<br />
Griepentstof vir 2010<br />
Voorbereidings<br />
vir 2010<br />
Vanjaar se griepentstof sal een van die soorte<br />
H1N1-griep afkomstig vanaf varke bevat as<br />
H1N1-komponent, wat in wese die seisoenale<br />
H1N1-griep van voorheen vervang. Die spesifieke<br />
aanwysings vir inenting sal soortgelyk wees aan<br />
dié van vorige jare, met die byvoeging van sekere<br />
hoërisikogroepe soos swanger vroue en MIVgeïnfekteerde<br />
persone. Die griepentstof sal teen<br />
die einde van Maart 2010 by apteke beskikbaar<br />
wees. Die aanbevole griepsoorte wat in 2010 in<br />
entstowwe vir die suidelike halfrond gebruik gaan<br />
word, is soos volg:<br />
¤ A (H1N1): ʼn A/Kalifornië/7/2009 (H1N1)agtige<br />
soort, 15 ug HA per dosis<br />
¤ A (H3N2): ʼn A/Perth/16/2009 (H3N2)-agtige<br />
soort, 15 ug HA per dosis<br />
¤ B: ʼn B/Brisbane/60/2008-agtige soort,<br />

In March 2009, Ms Vuyo Mahlati, IsiGodlo<br />
Trustee and Chair of the SAWID Development<br />
Commission, as well as a member of the<br />
Ministerial Task Team on Engendering the Anti-<br />
Poverty Strategy in South Africa, presented a<br />
discussion paper on the Financial Crisis and<br />
Gender at the 53rd session of the United<br />
Nations Commission on the Status of Women,<br />
(UNCSW) in New York.<br />
I<br />
Global Financial Crisis<br />
Financial Crisis and the Gender Question<br />
address the structural dimensions of inequality, poverty<br />
and deepening discrimination, which included the<br />
need to place gender equality at the centre of the<br />
UN reform.<br />
She cautioned against a re<strong>co</strong>very agenda that<br />
perpetuates inequalities, quoting Khadija Sharife in<br />
African Business, (February 2009) who highlighted<br />
that “over 30% of sub-Saharan Africa is chronically<br />
malnourished yet the UN’s Food and Agricultural<br />
Organi<strong>za</strong>tion (FAO) alleges that global production is<br />
n her presentation she pointed out that the financial capable of feeding 1.5 times the world’s population.<br />
crisis once again reminded women of the skewed Sharife further pointed to the UN statistics indicating<br />
picture of the global e<strong>co</strong>nomic framework with that 2% of the world’s population <strong>co</strong>ntrol 50% of the<br />
marked inequalities in the e<strong>co</strong>nomic security of men wealth in circulation. By <strong>co</strong>ntrast, 40% of the world’s<br />
and women, rich and poor. These gender imbalances population own less than 5% of global wealth.<br />
were not just visible in in<strong>co</strong>me inequalities, but also in<br />
decision making structures; both locally and globally,<br />
In an impassioned plea she wondered: “Why can’t we<br />
demonstrating the underlying patriarchal nature of<br />
grab this opportunity to change the global e<strong>co</strong>nomic<br />
our global <strong>co</strong>mmunities.<br />
order from this parasitic frame to a symbiotic and<br />
An example of this imbalance was<br />
palpable at the World E<strong>co</strong>nomic<br />
Forum’s annual meeting in Davos 2009,<br />
where only 5% of the two and a half<br />
thousand people who attended were<br />
women. Ms Mahlati quoted Avivah<br />
Wittenberg-Cox in Women-omics.<strong>co</strong>m<br />
who reminded us that “women are<br />
not a minority to be integrated into the<br />
whole”. She therefore re<strong>co</strong>mmended<br />
that the struggle for gender equality<br />
should intensify.<br />
Ms Mahlati’s main argument centered<br />
on the opportunity for e<strong>co</strong>nomic Ms Vuyo Mahlati, IsiGodlo Trustee and Chair of the SAWID<br />

middels Zanamivir en Oseltamivir. Dit is weerstandig<br />
teen die adamantaan- antivirale middels Amantadine en<br />
Rimantadine. Daar moet so gou moontlik na die aanvang<br />
van simprome met antivirale behandeling met Oseltamivir en<br />

te wag. Alhoewel die grootste voordeel getrek kan word uit<br />

The registration of <strong>co</strong>-operatives as a business entity is a national priority. To this end, an incentive programme was developed<br />
by the Department of Trade and Industry (the dti) to assist registered <strong>co</strong>-operatives to grow in the formal e<strong>co</strong>nomy. If one<br />
reviews the growth of <strong>co</strong>-operatives over a four-year period, it is evident that these interventions started to pay off in 2008/09,<br />
and particularly the past financial year, which re<strong>co</strong>rded 9 279 new registrations, 111% above target. It is illustrated graphically<br />
in Figure 5.<br />

The total number of registrations of <strong>co</strong>mpanies for the year was 26 334, which is a 96% achievement against the target. The total<br />
number of registrations of close <strong>co</strong>rporations for the year was 205 951, which is a 79% achievement against the target. During<br />
the period under review, the average turnaround time for the registration of a <strong>co</strong>mpany was four days, a close <strong>co</strong>rporation five<br />
and a quarter days and a <strong>co</strong>-operative six days. These average turnaround times had been determined over a period of twelve<br />
months, bearing in mind that both internal and external factors <strong>co</strong>uld result in these indicators being altered <strong>co</strong>mpletely. Over<br />
the past year, the turnaround times were affected by internal variables such as the stability and capability of ICT systems, the<br />
<strong>co</strong>mplement of customer interface and back office staff, the influx of lodgments of registrations and other matters, such as<br />
lodgments of annual returns, amendments and name reservations. The processes in various areas of business were adjusted<br />
during the past year to prevent irregularities, and these changed processes, <strong>co</strong>mbined with the other <strong>co</strong>ntributing factors,<br />

MESSAGES FROM THE EXECUTIVE<br />
Prof Cheryl de la Rey, Vice-Chancellor<br />
and Principal<br />
Message from the Vice-Chancellor and Principal<br />
As recently appointed Vice-Chancellor and Principal, I am<br />
delighted to note the achievements of the campus enterprises<br />
in general and Business Enterprises at University of Pretoria<br />
(Pty) Ltd (BE at UP) in particular – not only during 2009, but<br />
since their inception in 2000.<br />
As a public university, we have a responsibility to make a<br />
positive and direct impact on the <strong>co</strong>untry's national social and<br />
e<strong>co</strong>nomic development, and BE at UP plays an important role<br />
in this regard. BE at UP has proved to be a successful vehicle<br />
for enhancing the University of Pretoria’s <strong>co</strong>ntribution to our<br />
increasingly knowledge-based e<strong>co</strong>nomy.<br />
Moreover, as a source of third-stream in<strong>co</strong>me for the University,<br />
the campus enterprises play a vital role in enabling the University<br />
to grow its resource base in a sustainable manner, so that it can<br />
execute its strategy of creating a synergy between teaching,<br />
research and <strong>co</strong>mmunity engagement.<br />
I am <strong>co</strong>nfident that BE at UP will <strong>co</strong>ntinue to build on its<br />
existing strengths and achievements, and that its <strong>co</strong>ntinued<br />
<strong>co</strong>mmitment to quality, relevance and sustainability will keep<br />
it firmly on <strong>co</strong>urse to achieve greater levels of excellence and<br />
impact in the future.<br />

F OFFICE OF THE FAMILY ADVOCATE<br />
The purpose of the Office of the Family Advocate is to<br />
promote and protect the best interests of minor and<br />
dependent children in matters relating to parental<br />
responsibility and rights disputes.<br />
The professional <strong>co</strong>mponent of the office <strong>co</strong>mprises<br />
family advocates (lawyers) and family <strong>co</strong>unsellors (social<br />
workers). The Family Advocate renders legal, as well<br />
as family mediation services, through multidisciplinary<br />
teams made up of lawyers and social workers so as<br />
to ensure a holistic and qualitative approach to serve<br />
the best interest of the child throughout the dispute<br />
resolution or adjudication process. Currently, there are<br />
16 service delivery points situated in the provinces, 55<br />
family advocates, 10 senior family advocates and 76<br />
family <strong>co</strong>unsellors on the establishment.<br />
The mandate of the Family Advocate ac<strong>co</strong>rds with<br />
section 28(2) of the Constitution, namely that “a child’s<br />
best interests are of paramount importance in every<br />
matter <strong>co</strong>ncerning the child”. The powers and duties<br />
of the Family Advocate are set out in section 4 of the<br />
Mediation in Certain Divorce Matters Act, 1990 (Act<br />
No 24 of 1990), as follows:<br />
• To institute an enquiry so as to be able to furnish<br />
the <strong>co</strong>urt with a report and re<strong>co</strong>mmendation on<br />
any matter <strong>co</strong>ncerning the welfare of a minor/<br />
dependent child<br />
• To appear at the trial of any divorce action or the<br />
hearing of a related application<br />
• To adduce any available evidence relevant to the<br />
action or application<br />
• To cross-examine witnesses giving evidence at such<br />
trial or hearing of application<br />
Such powers and duties were subsequently extended<br />
to six other pieces of legislation, thus extending the<br />
mandate of the Family Advocate from High Court work<br />
to include special divorce <strong>co</strong>urt matters, disputes arising<br />
from customary and religious marriages, as well as<br />
matters related to children born out of wedlock.<br />
In terms of amendments to the Domestic Violence<br />
Act and the Maintenance Act, 1998 (Act No 116 of<br />
1998) presiding officers hearing maintenance and<br />
domestic violence cases can obtain Family Advocate<br />
reports regarding the best interests of the child prior to<br />
making orders. The clients of the Family Advocate are<br />
<strong>co</strong>nsequently members of the public, children, as well<br />
as the <strong>co</strong>urts hearing such matters. The primary need<br />
of the clients is the speedy resolution of disputes, as well<br />
as the availability of family advocates in <strong>co</strong>urt to ensure<br />
the efficient <strong>co</strong>mpletion of hearings. Children need<br />
to be served in a child-favourable, non-intimidating<br />
environment, which is sensitive to and responds to<br />
their developmental needs. The best interests of the<br />
child require disputes to be resolved in the most non<strong>co</strong>nflictual<br />
manner as possible.<br />
The most prominent challenge facing the Family<br />
Advocate is staff shortages, as well as limited<br />
accessibility. Clients travel long distances to obtain the<br />
services. Courts often postpone matters, sometimes at<br />
parties’ <strong>co</strong>sts, due to delays in obtaining reports or the<br />
availability of family advocates to appear in <strong>co</strong>urt. Such<br />
delays <strong>co</strong>mpromise the welfare of the child.<br />
During the 2008/09 year, the Office of the Family<br />
Advocate has received 8 957 cases, of which 8 005<br />
were finalised. These figures exclude the backlog of<br />
2 937 cases accumulated over the past years.<br />
(i) International Child Abduction<br />
The Chief Family Advocate is the designated central<br />
authority for South Africa in terms of the Hague<br />
Convention on the Civil Aspect of International Child<br />
Abduction, which was ratified by South Africa in 1996.<br />
The main function of the central authority is to ensure<br />
the speedy return of children abducted to and from<br />
South Africa through the judicial process, as well as to<br />
ensure that the child’s right to <strong>co</strong>ntact with both parents<br />
is not jeopardised unduly. This <strong>co</strong>nvention is enforceable<br />
between South Africa and 47 <strong>co</strong>untries.<br />
(ii) Mediation Services<br />
The new Children’s Act, 2005 (Act No 38 of 2005) (22<br />
sections only) came into operation on 1 July 2007. The<br />
act has expanded the duties of the Family Advocate<br />
extensively. A rights-based approach is propagated<br />
by the act when dealing with children’s matters. Most<br />
notable is the introduction of <strong>co</strong>mpulsory mediation<br />
in section 21 (disputes over parental rights and the<br />
responsibilities of fathers of children born out of wedlock).<br />
Family advocates and family <strong>co</strong>unsellors provide the<br />
service through the <strong>co</strong>-mediation model. Eighty members<br />
of the professional staff have been trained in mediation<br />
techniques focusing on family mediation.<br />
During 2008/09, 3 014 requests for mediations were<br />
received, 1 491 were <strong>co</strong>mpleted by the personnel of<br />
the office and 1 523 were finalised with the assistance of<br />
NGOs that specialise in family mediation.<br />

BE at UP maintained a solid performance in the execution<br />
Message from the Chairperson<br />
of projects over a wide range of industry sectors during the<br />
Having been involved with the University’s campus enterprises period under review. By the end of 2009, 304 projects were still<br />
since their inception in 2000, it was an honour to take over the in execution, 1 049 projects were <strong>co</strong>mpleted and 68 pending<br />
reigns as chairperson of Business Enterprises at University of<br />
Pretoria (Pty) Ltd (BE at UP) and to <strong>co</strong>ntinue interacting with<br />
this entity in an executive capacity. Internationally, universities<br />
need to generate additional resources. The University of Pretoria<br />
has been very successful in this regard. By moving beyond the<br />
realm of academic theory, the University’s staff are able to apply<br />
their multidisciplinary skills to not only support the University to<br />
1000<br />
achieve its strategic objectives of teaching and research, but also<br />
900<br />
to make a difference to society by engaging with government,<br />
800<br />
the business sector and <strong>co</strong>mmunities.<br />
700<br />
As an important role-player in research and <strong>co</strong>nsulting, BE at UP is<br />
not only making an important <strong>co</strong>ntribution to skills development,<br />
but is translating <strong>co</strong>mmunity engagement into business success<br />
for individuals and entities. The engagement of the campus<br />
enterprises with individuals and <strong>co</strong>mmunities <strong>co</strong>ntributes to the<br />
e<strong>co</strong>nomic development of the <strong>co</strong>untry and the advancement of<br />
individuals. My strategic vision for BE at UP is for it to <strong>co</strong>ntinue to<br />
grow its business operations and render professional services that<br />
<strong>co</strong>mply with the principles of effective <strong>co</strong>rporate governance, and<br />
to develop innovative solutions that will enhance the reputation<br />
of the University of Pretoria as a world-class research institution.<br />

The e<strong>co</strong>nomic crunch facing the department has forced<br />
the review of the department’s approach in dealing with<br />
The Office of the Family Advocate has rendered over cases emanating from the FIFA events. The approach of<br />
120 parental education workshops in the different dedicated resources and additional <strong>co</strong>urtrooms, which<br />
provinces, whereby parents were educated about their has a huge budgetary implication, will be revised to<br />
rights and responsibilities over their children, promoting ac<strong>co</strong>mmodate all event-related cases in the normal<br />

as mediation as an effective dispute resolution method.<br />
stakeholders are currently in place to review options and<br />
It is anticipated that as more people get to know and<br />
adopt an approach that will be <strong>co</strong>st-effective. The Chief<br />

financial year. The figures of the latest<br />
financial year (2008/09) indicate a growth<br />
of 34%, which represents 1 542 new gradings<br />
and 5 667 renewals – a total of 7 209 graded<br />
establishments. Since more than three<br />
quarters of available ac<strong>co</strong>mmodation rooms<br />
on offer has already been graded, the TGCSA<br />
aims for an average of 6% growth in graded<br />
establishments per year for the future, keeping<br />
in mind that a drop of gradings is predicted<br />
after 2010. The priority markets targeted for<br />
growth are hotels, lodges, and bed-andbreakfast<br />
and self-catering establishments.<br />
The TGCSA does not only grade<br />
ac<strong>co</strong>mmodation establishments. It has<br />
broadened its s<strong>co</strong>pe to include meetings,<br />
exhibitions and special events in 2004. This<br />
was a world first. In 2005, the introduction of<br />
food and beverage as a sector began with<br />
restaurants as the starting point. Currently, the<br />
<strong>co</strong>uncil is engaged in the development of a<br />
system to grade the tourism transport sector.<br />
It is the objective of the TGCSA to extend its<br />
system to en<strong>co</strong>mpass all relevant sectors of<br />
the tourism industry.<br />
However, the objectives of the <strong>co</strong>uncil cannot<br />
be achieved without appropriate systems<br />
and human resources. As the organisation<br />
has been in existence for seven years, and<br />
has to ensure that it still performs optimally,<br />

a <strong>co</strong>mprehensive review of its operations<br />
was <strong>co</strong>nducted in 2008/09. Key issues for<br />
the effective operation of the TGCSA are<br />
the effective performance of all accredited<br />
assessors, grading skills, client feedback<br />
management and regaining financial <strong>co</strong>ntrol<br />
of its clients.<br />
With regard to the effective performance<br />
of assessors and grading skills, a formal<br />
service provider agreement (SPA) was<br />
signed between the TGCSA and all<br />
grading assessors, who are self-employed<br />
entrepreneurs, in 2008/09. This is seen as the<br />
most critical achievement of this financial<br />
year, as the agreement will assist in ensuring<br />
a more professional relationship between<br />
the TGCSA and assessors, as well as between<br />
assessors and graded establishments.<br />
Furthermore, the SPA will protect all graded<br />
establishments and ensure professional<br />
service from TGCSA-accredited assessors.<br />
The TGCSA will also, for the first time ever,<br />
be able to monitor and measure assessor<br />
performance on an annual basis, which<br />
will be used to influence their annual<br />
accreditation as grading assessors.<br />
The TGCSA embarked on a public tender<br />
process to appoint a professional training<br />

Since our fi rst democratic elections in 1994, we have placed<br />
human rights at the heart of our nation’s development<br />
agenda, and have enshrined in our Constitution the right<br />
to an environment that is <strong>co</strong>nducive to the health and<br />

to government’s sustainable development agenda.<br />
South Africa is a <strong>co</strong>untry <strong>co</strong>nstituting just 2% of the global<br />

world’s plants and 7% of its reptiles, birds and mammals.<br />
These national treasures place South Africa as the<br />
third megadiverse <strong>co</strong>untry in the world after Indonesia<br />

work done by Mexi<strong>co</strong> and will approach the <strong>co</strong>nference in<br />
a spirit of <strong>co</strong>mprehensive and open <strong>co</strong>nsultation with all<br />
parties and stakeholders to work towards an out<strong>co</strong>me that<br />

As an African developing <strong>co</strong>untry, South Africa will use the<br />
opportunity afforded by COP 17/CMP 7 to showcase the<br />
way in which climate change impacts on the <strong>co</strong>untry and<br />
the <strong>co</strong>ntinent, as well as the responses it is implementing.<br />
This is an opportunity, as with the World Cup, for Team<br />

1. INTRODUCTION<br />
“Plants are the most amazing chemists in the world. They make more <strong>co</strong>mplex <strong>co</strong>mpounds unique database on the therapeutic<br />
potential of the <strong>co</strong>mplex mixtures<br />
every day than we can ever dream of manufacturing,” says Prof Kobus Eloff, who initiated of <strong>co</strong>mpounds found in the leaves<br />
the Phytomedicine Programme at the University of Pretoria in 1995 and has been leading of trees. PhD student Lita Pauw<br />
planned and orchestrated the<br />
this unique research effort since then.<br />
<strong>co</strong>llection of leaves from more than<br />
600 indigenous tree species.<br />
His passion for finding and harnessing the healing power of <strong>co</strong>mpounds in South<br />
Africa’s rich diversity of plants has sustained a productive research career spanning<br />
50 years at several universities and the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. “We<br />
have about 10% of the world’s plant species in South Africa – a chest of chemical<br />
treasures waiting to be dis<strong>co</strong>vered,” Prof Eloff believes.<br />
Prof Eloff has been called back from retirement three times, and “now on the<br />
other side of 70”, he is as inspired as ever to find out more about how we can<br />
use the bioactive substances in plants to benefit people and animals, and even<br />
to improve the health and productivity of plants and food crops. Because of the<br />
potential use of medicinal plants in animal health, Prof Eloff’s research group has<br />
been in<strong>co</strong>rporated into the Department of Paraclinical Sciences at the Faculty of<br />
Veterinary Science, Onderstepoort. Phytomedicine and ethnoveterinary medicine<br />
are now one of the research focus areas of the faculty.<br />
People have been using plants and parts of plants for healing purposes since<br />
ancient times. Most plants have many biologically active <strong>co</strong>mpounds, especially in<br />
their leaves, but getting to these substances and understanding how to use them<br />
effectively to treat diseases requires strategy, dedication, sophisticated science<br />
and also sometimes a bit of luck or serendipity.<br />
Because the <strong>co</strong>mpounds responsible for antimicrobial activity are usually not<br />
soluble in water, people in rural areas usually don’t have the solvents that are<br />
necessary to extract the active <strong>co</strong>mpounds. Consequently, bioactive <strong>co</strong>mpounds<br />
and potential applications are found that are not known to traditional healers.<br />
Over the past five years, Prof Eloff’s research team has focused on developing a<br />

Back at the laboratory, the team prepared leaf extracts and tested each one<br />
against selected species of bacteria, my<strong>co</strong>bacteria and fungi to see whether the<br />
extracts <strong>co</strong>uld be used to treat infections. Some extracts have also been tested<br />
for effectiveness against viruses and animal parasites. It is useful to investigate<br />
the safety of extracts, and many extracts have been screened for their inherent<br />
cytotoxicity and mutagenicity. More tests are needed to make sure the plants will<br />
be safe to use and to get a full picture of potential risks that <strong>co</strong>uld result from using<br />
these extracts as therapeutic agents.<br />
“We focused on tree leaves, because it is possible to harvest and use leaves<br />
sustainably,” Prof Eloff explains. “When you debark a tree or dig up its roots, the<br />
tree is often damaged or killed, but the leaves can be harvested on an ongoing<br />
basis.” Prof Eloff points out that tree leaves are frequently as active as tree bark,<br />
although, in many cases, bark is used traditionally. “There is no biochemical reason<br />
why you would find <strong>co</strong>mpounds in the bark that would not be found in the leaves,”<br />
he adds.<br />
All results were fed into the database that now <strong>co</strong>ntains <strong>co</strong>mprehensive information<br />
on the bioactivity of more than half of all South Africa’s indigenous tree species.<br />
They are <strong>co</strong>ntinuing to follow up the promising leads from the tree database and<br />
identify the best candidate species for further research, in other words, the species<br />
that show most promise as an effective agent to treat or prevent disease.<br />
They have kept dried, powdered samples of the leaves of all the trees included<br />
in the study because, as Prof Eloff points out, “all good research leads to more<br />
research”.<br />

people also left their mark on the<br />
landscape - a cultural heritage that<br />
dates back thousands of years to<br />
when the Khoi-khoi people trapped<br />
fish using ingeniously <strong>co</strong>nstructed<br />
tidal traps.<br />
Coastal clean-up takes place on<br />
a stretch of 88 kilometres of <strong>co</strong>ast,<br />
from Quoin Point to the Overberg Test<br />

• Of the estimated 9 000 plants introduced to this <strong>co</strong>untry, 198 are currently<br />
classified as being invasive and are currently the single biggest threat to the<br />
<strong>co</strong>untry’s biological biodiversity.<br />
• It is estimated that these plants <strong>co</strong>ver 10.1 million hectares or about 7% of the<br />
<strong>co</strong>untry and the problem is growing at an exponential rate.<br />
• The negative impact of invasive species results in the degradation of our rich<br />
biological diversity, which underpins our tourism industry.<br />
• Invasive species impact on the e<strong>co</strong>logical integrity of our natural systems, on<br />
which we all depend for our livelihoods.<br />
• Wildfires that are fuelled by invasive alien species cause havoc, and result in a<br />
need for fire management strategies.<br />
• Invasive species have a detrimental effect on the productive use of land, which<br />
is responsible for keeping the <strong>co</strong>untry’s food basket stocked.<br />

• Of the estimated 9 000 plants introduced to this <strong>co</strong>untry, 198 are currently<br />
classified as being invasive and are currently the single biggest threat to the<br />
<strong>co</strong>untry’s biological biodiversity.<br />
• It is estimated that these plants <strong>co</strong>ver 10.1 million hectares or about 7% of the<br />
<strong>co</strong>untry and the problem is growing at an exponential rate.<br />
• The negative impact of invasive species results in the degradation of our rich<br />
biological diversity, which underpins our tourism industry.<br />
• Invasive species impact on the e<strong>co</strong>logical integrity of our natural systems, on<br />
which we all depend for our livelihoods.<br />
• Wildfires that are fuelled by invasive alien species cause havoc, and result in a<br />
need for fire management strategies.<br />
• Invasive species have a detrimental effect on the productive use of land, which<br />
is responsible for keeping the <strong>co</strong>untry’s food basket stocked.<br />

We need to acknowledge that understanding<br />
and acting on our responsibilities will place<br />
a burden on those who <strong>co</strong>ntinue to perceive<br />
government as unsympathetic to victims of<br />
crime. It requires a mind shift from viewing<br />
government employees as being ineffi cient,<br />
often even before they have been given<br />
an opportunity to prove or disprove their<br />
abilities. It requires individuals to be the heart<br />
and soul of social transformation.<br />
Responsibilities in the Victims’<br />
Charter<br />
The Victims’ Charter aims to provide easy<br />
reference to existing rights, so that victims<br />
are not revictimised by the criminal justice<br />
system. All citizens, government employees<br />
and victims need to be informed about the<br />
Victims’ Charter. The associated Minimum<br />
Standards set out what victims can expect<br />
from service providers, and will be reviewed<br />
and amended so that the standards are more<br />
<strong>co</strong>ncrete. Victims need to understand their<br />
responsibility for each of these rights.<br />
When <strong>co</strong>nsidering the right to offer<br />
information, for example, victims should<br />
understand that they have a duty to provide<br />
<strong>co</strong>rrect information. In<strong>co</strong>rrect information<br />
often leads to delays in investigation and<br />
prosecution. The <strong>co</strong>rrect home and work<br />
address of a victim will assist the police if they<br />
need to <strong>co</strong>ntact the victim again for purposes<br />
of further investigation. Moving from a past<br />
where any information given to government<br />
<strong>co</strong>uld be used against an individual, we<br />
need to change a victim’s mindset, so that<br />
government is not viewed as the enemy.<br />
The Justice Department has developed a list<br />
of victims’ responsibilities that <strong>co</strong>rrelate with<br />
their rights in the Victims’ Charter.<br />
Your right Your duty<br />
To be treated with fairness<br />
and with respect for your<br />
dignity and privacy<br />
• To be respectful to all service providers (police, prosecutors,<br />
magistrates, health workers, social workers and Correctional<br />
Services personnel).<br />
• To inform the police about yourself and any special needs<br />
you may have so that your right to dignity can be upheld.<br />
• To know that information given to service providers will be<br />
treated with <strong>co</strong>nfi dence.<br />
To offer information • To inform the police and prosecutor if you can’t read or write.<br />
• To inform the prosecutor about how the crime affected you<br />
and your family.<br />
• To give the police and prosecutor <strong>co</strong>rrect information: your<br />
address, <strong>co</strong>ntact details and any other information requested<br />
by the police or the prosecutor.<br />
• To inform the prosecutor if you need time off work to attend<br />
<strong>co</strong>urt proceedings.<br />
To receive information • To ask if you do not receive any information.<br />
• To act on information received. If you are required to attend<br />
<strong>co</strong>urt, arrive on time.<br />
To protection • To report to police and the prosecutor if you are threatened<br />
in any way by the accused or anyone related to the accused.<br />
• To participate in the Witness Protection Programme.<br />
• To request to be kept informed by Correctional Services if the<br />
accused has escaped custody or is transferred.

Senior alumni word vereer<br />
In sy eeufeesjaar is die Universiteit van Pretoria weer eens onder die indruk van die belangrike<br />
rol wat sy alumni in sy groei en ontwikkeling gespeel het. Op 24 April 2008 het TuksAlumni<br />
’n spesiale groep super seniors (80-plussers) op sy Hatfieldkampus ontvang. Dié groep het<br />
hul studies meestal in die 1940’s voltooi. Tydens ’n aansit-ontbyt wat in ’n markiestent in die<br />
Kya Rosa-tuin aangebied is, is meer as 90 gaste getrakteer op ‘n historiese oorsig oor die<br />
Universiteit se honderdjarige bestaan. Die oudste Tukkie wat die geleentheid bygewoon het,<br />
was ds Bertus van Wyk, wat 95 jaar oud is. Hy en sy vrou, ook ’n oud-Tukkie, het boonop hul<br />

ste huweliksherdenking gevier. Die oudste joolkoningin was Marié Cronjé (middel regs), wat<br />
in 1945 die kroon gedra het. Mnr Wessel Jooste (regs bo) het bykans 400 km gereis om die<br />
funksie by te woon.<br />
Links: Oom Gert het spesiaal die funksie bygewoon, en onder streng bewaking ’n ogie oor die<br />

House <strong>co</strong>ncerts astound audiences<br />
The TuksAlumni house <strong>co</strong>ncerts, featuring talented local musicians, provide a wonderful<br />
opportunity for guests to socialise with fellow alumni and enjoy a cultural evening in the<br />
authentic atmosphere of Kya Rosa. The first <strong>co</strong>ncert for the year featured the ac<strong>co</strong>mplished<br />
performing artist, Chantie Minnaar, who entertained guests with sparkling classics and other<br />
favourites. She proved to be so popular that she returned for the se<strong>co</strong>nd <strong>co</strong>ncert, where she<br />
ac<strong>co</strong>mpanied the percussion master, Magdalena de Vries, on the piano. The final <strong>co</strong>ncert<br />
for the year took the form of a jazz <strong>co</strong>ncert featuring M<strong>za</strong>mo Bhengu, ac<strong>co</strong>mpanied by the<br />
Insignia Jazz Band. This band <strong>co</strong>mprises full-time professional musicians who perform at various<br />
embassies and many of the official banquets of the President of South Africa. Sipho and<br />
Rendani Mafuyeka (bottom right) were among the guests who enjoyed the <strong>co</strong>ncert.<br />
These <strong>co</strong>ncerts are reasonably priced, and include dinner and wine. For more information<br />

Celebrating<br />
the University’s centenary<br />
ne of the highlights on the centenary calendar of the University<br />
Oof Pretoria was undoubtedly the Alumni Home<strong>co</strong>ming, which<br />
took place in May 2008. Alumni heeded the call and returned to<br />
the campus from far and wide to reacquaint themselves with their<br />
Alma Mater.<br />
The University’s campuses were abuzz between 12 and 18 May 2008 as<br />
thousands of alumni visited the campus for reunions, campus tours,<br />
<strong>co</strong>ncerts, art exhibitions and a variety of other events focused on<br />
celebrating the University’s first century in the service of knowledge.<br />
One such individual was Dr Anna de Beer (DEd, DPhil, Philosophy),<br />
Former residents of Erika ladies’ residence relived their res days.<br />
who travelled all the way from Betty’s Bay to attend, among other<br />
events, the regional function in Pretoria. Cultural events were also a<br />
major drawcard, with several <strong>co</strong>ncerts, art exhibitions and a formal<br />
opera gala succeeding in entertaining alumni and luring them<br />
back to the campus.<br />
Wel<strong>co</strong>ming alumni back to the campus was one of the main aims<br />
of the Home<strong>co</strong>ming, and judging from the attendance of the<br />
many events, and especially the enthusiasm and nostalgia that<br />
ac<strong>co</strong>mpanied them, TuksAlumni certainly succeeded in its objective.<br />
Dr Anna de Beer (front left) came all the way from Betty’s Bay to attend the home<strong>co</strong>ming. Rekindling bonds with her were Rev Nic and Mrs Bets Ackerman.<br />
Bettie Cilliers-Barnard (voor), ’n alumnus<br />
en ontvanger van die prestigeryke<br />
Laureaattoekenning in 1983, het op<br />
26 Februarie 2008 besoek aan Kya Rosa<br />
gebring. Cilliers-Barnard is ’n jarelange<br />
vriendin van die Universiteit van Pretoria.<br />
Wyle mnr Hancke (Bags) Cilliers was ook ‘n<br />
getroue ondersteuner van die Universiteit.<br />
Haar eerste solo-uitstalling is in 1946 in<br />
Pretoria gehou, en sedertdien het sy meer as<br />
75 solo-uitstallings gehou. Sy het verder ook<br />
in Parys, Switserland, die Verenigde State<br />
van Amerika en die Verenigde Koninkryk<br />
gewerk en gestudeer. Die Universiteit<br />
van Pretoria (2002), die destydse Randse<br />
Afrikaanse Universiteit (1999) en die<br />
destydse Potchefstroom Universiteit vir CHO<br />
(1990) het almal doktorsgrade aan haar<br />
toegeken. Me Cilliers-Barnard het meer as 20<br />
toekennings van plaaslike en internasionale<br />
organisasies ontvang vir haar werk en vir<br />
haar onbaatsugtige bevordering van kuns. Sy<br />
het ongeveer 100 openbare en ’n hele aantal<br />
merkwaardige privaat versamelings in Suid-<br />
Afrika en in die buiteland. Sy is die doyenne<br />
van Suid-Afrikaanse kunstenaars en het ’n<br />
ware legende van haar leeftyd geword.<br />

Sculptures interact with<br />
students on campus<br />
A series of four centenary sculptures was <strong>co</strong>mmissioned<br />
to to <strong>co</strong>mmemorate the University’s<br />
centenary. These sculptures <strong>co</strong>nsist of of four four<br />
granite <strong>co</strong>lumns with with bronze, spherical forms and and<br />
were created by well-known sculptor, and and Tuks<br />
alumnus, Angus van Zyl-Taylor.<br />
In In a generous gesture, gesture, Taylor also donated<br />
three additional sculptures to the University University of<br />
Pretoria. Two of of these granite fi gures (right) are<br />
in the Centenary Lane (in front of the Agriculture<br />
Building) and the third near the Musaion. With<br />
the the addition of these these works, Angus has made<br />
a signifi cant <strong>co</strong>ntribution to to art on the Hatfi eld<br />
Campus, which will remain remain as a lasting symbol of of<br />
UP’s 100 100 years in the the service of knowledge.<br />
Taylor studied Visual Arts at the University of<br />
Pretoria and and started a sculpture workshop soon<br />
after <strong>co</strong>mpleting his studies. He is the sculptor<br />
of of the Chief Tshwane-Solomon Mahlangu,<br />
Brenda Fassi sculpture, as well as sculptures at<br />
the Irene Village Mall. He has has had seven solo solo<br />
exhibitions. In re<strong>co</strong>gnition of his outstanding<br />
<strong>co</strong>ntributions to art, he received a Laureate Award<br />
from the TuksAlumni Association in 2005.<br />

Off-road driving: the Norwegian experience<br />
Off-road driving in Norway has increased remarkably and there has been a large gap between<br />
law intentions and reality. Thus, a revision of the act on off-road driving was initiated in 2007 by the<br />
Directorate for Nature Management. The aim of the revision was to reduce the amount of motorised<br />
driving on uncultivated land and along water <strong>co</strong>urses, and <strong>co</strong>nsequently to protect the natural<br />
environment and the possibilities to experience peace and silence in nature.<br />
The challenge has been to find the right balance between protection and use. The <strong>co</strong>nclusion was<br />
made that motor traffic should be permitted where the benefits for society outweigh the <strong>co</strong>sts and<br />
disadvantages (such as damage to the environment, and lack of peace and silence). This means<br />
approval for useful purposes and for the transportation of goods and equipment, and disapproval<br />
for recreational purposes and for the general transportation of people. For the recreational use of<br />
The environment is one of the priority areas for Norway’s development assistance to South Africa. The environmental<br />

How to market yourself: Part 1<br />
If you ask employment seekers<br />
what their biggest challenge is,<br />
most of them will tell you it is marketing<br />
themselves. They either hate<br />
it or are very un<strong>co</strong>mfortable with it.<br />
This is a major problem, because their<br />
success is directly tied to how effective<br />
they are at marketing themselves.<br />
The good news is that “self-marketing”<br />
can be learned. The main reason for<br />
their dis<strong>co</strong>mfort with marketing is ignorance.<br />
They don’t understand it and<br />
assume that since they don’t have a<br />
background in it, they won’t be effective<br />
at it. The challenge is to get rid of<br />
their current perceptions about what<br />
marketing is and to accept the fact that,<br />
with hard work and being prepared to<br />
move out of their <strong>co</strong>mfort zones, they<br />
can be<strong>co</strong>me effective at it.<br />
The myth of the backslapping, loud,<br />
aggressive sales type is just that: a<br />
myth. Successful salespeople are<br />
professionals who are well-trained, attend<br />
to the needs of their customers<br />
and are genuinely interested in helping<br />
them. They sell solutions to problems<br />
and products and services that satisfy<br />
a genuine need. They’re also resilient.<br />
They’ve fallen flat on their face in<br />
front of customers many times before<br />
be<strong>co</strong>ming successful. And they’ve endured<br />
a lot of rejection and bounced<br />
back from it. Some of the most suc-<br />

that degree is mine! Where to now?<br />
cessful salespeople are quiet, unassuming<br />
people – not quite the stereotype<br />
often attached to salespeople.<br />
The main reason why they’re successful<br />
is that they’re sincere. Their customers<br />
pick up on that because sincerity<br />
can’t be faked. The <strong>co</strong>mmon view of<br />
what selling is about is pure bunk. The<br />
“gift of the gab” is not an asset – it’s<br />
a liability. There’s no such thing as a<br />
born salesman or saleswoman.<br />
Successful salespeople achieved their<br />
success through working hard, believing<br />
in the product or service they sell,<br />
knowing it inside out, knowing how it<br />
can benefit potential customers and by<br />
not being easily dis<strong>co</strong>uraged. These<br />
are characteristics that you must acquire.<br />
If you have any<br />
lingering thoughts<br />
that you’re not<br />
good at selling<br />
yourself, you<br />
need to get rid of<br />
them.<br />
i<br />
Your selling challenge is to <strong>co</strong>mmunicate<br />
to a potential employer or client<br />
how they can benefit from using the<br />
skills and experience you have to of-<br />

Companies are using Twitter very<br />
creatively in announcing jobs to<br />
their followers. These jobs are often<br />
retweeted to other followers,<br />

oxyphylla: (Greek) oxys – sharp, and phyllon – a leaf, referring to sharp-pointed leaves;<br />
Limpopo Euphorbia robusta – robust, (E) stout.<br />
Euphorbia limpopoana<br />
Limpopo-euphorbia (A)<br />
Euphorbia – <strong>co</strong>mmemorates Euphorbus, physician to King Juba I of Mauritania (54 B.C.);<br />
limpopoana – from the Limpopo River.<br />
Densely tufted succulent perennial<br />
herb, 300(–450) mm high.<br />
Stems: a <strong>co</strong>mpact clump of often<br />
rebranching stems, produced at<br />
ground level; branches grey-green<br />
with a paler stripe in the middle,<br />
usually four-angled.<br />
Spines: relatively stout; in pairs,<br />
8–17 mm long; spine shield grey.<br />
Flowers: cyathia in groups of<br />
three, above each pair of spines;<br />
yellowish green.<br />
Flowering time: April to September.<br />
Fruit: capsule obtusely lobed, 3 × 4 mm, sessile, purplish.<br />
Found on rocky hills and in sandy soils in mopane woodland.<br />
This species, distributed along the Limpopo Valley from<br />
Botswana to Mo<strong>za</strong>mbique, has been referred to for some time<br />
as a distinct ‘Limpopo form’ of Euphorbia schinzii. Euphorbia<br />
limpopoana differs from E. schinzii in its lack of rhizomatous<br />
branches, and its more robust habit, with thicker branches and<br />
noticeably much stronger spinescence.<br />

Daarmee word nie te kenne gegee dat voorkoms of die liggaam onbelangrik is nie. Die kind<br />
moet juis geleer word dat God se uitverkore kinders met sy wederkoms liggaamlik opgewek<br />
sal word, en dan wel met ‘n verheerlikte liggaam. Die liggaam bly immers tempel 10 van God.<br />
Waarteen ons wel moet waak, is ‘n verheerliking van die liggaam in die valse voorstelling dat<br />
dit ‘n benutting van “talente” is. Is dit nie dikwels die geval op die sportveld nie? Kyk maar net<br />
watter ster-status geniet sporthelde in ‘n skool.<br />
Vrae ter oorweging<br />
• Ons hoor dikwels dat leerlinge wat swak presteer minderwaardig voel aangesien<br />
hulle ongunstig vergelyk met ander leerlinge. Hoe sal jy as Christen-onderwyser oor<br />
so ’n opmerking oordeel en hoe moet so ‘n kind hanteer word?<br />
• Die onderwyspraktyk moet duidelik toon dat ons die “natuur-genade” dualisme met die<br />
gevolglike verdeling van die lewe in ‘n liggaamlike en ‘n geestelike terrein, verwerp.<br />
Hoe kan klasonderrig so ingerig word dat hierdie skeiding nie in jou vakgebied na<br />
vore tree nie?<br />
Opdrag<br />
Bespreek die volgende stelling krities (in nie minder as 300, maar nie meer as 500<br />
woorde) en maak gebruik van toepaslike voorbeelde:<br />
Hoe die Christen-onderwyser die mens sien (mensbeskouing), sal in ‘n<br />
groot mate die onderrig wat hy gee, bepaal.<br />

1. Begronding<br />
Akademie Reformatoriese Opleiding en Studies (Aros) is op 4 Oktober 2003 in Pretoria as<br />
’n vereniging gestig. Aros het hom ten doel gestel om Bybelgefundeerde (gereformeerde)<br />
opleiding aan pre-primêre, primêre en sekondêre onderwysers te verskaf. Ander studierigtings<br />
word dalk later bygevoeg.<br />
Die grondslag van Aros is die Bybel en die drie Formuliere van Eenheid soos deur die<br />
Gereformeerde en Vrye Gereformeerde Kerke in Suid-Afrika vasgestel.<br />
3. Aros as organisasie<br />
Aros se visie spruit hieruit: Skriftuurlik goed opgeleide, besielde en vakkundige onderwysers • Aros is ’n onafhanklike, private akademie.<br />
wat opvoeding en onderrig as verlengstuk van ouers behartig in alle skole. Daarom is • die Op 11 Desember 2003 het Aros ’n memorandum van ooreenkoms met die<br />
organisasie se missie om soveel moontlik sulke onderwysers op te lei.<br />
Potchefstroomse Universiteit vir Christelike Hoër Onderwys (nou Noordwesuniversiteit)<br />
aangegaan waarvolgens Aros as ’n afl eweringslokaliteit van NWU<br />
Aros is oortuig dat dit vir die land in sy geheel, maar ook vir die onderwysprofessie in die funksioneer.<br />
besonder, tot groot voordeel sal wees indien nuwe onderwysers die taak wat hulle verrig • as Aros is ’n vereniging ingelyf kragtens Artikel 21 (registrasienommer 9602281/08).<br />
’n roeping sien en uitleef. Om egter in hierdie doel te slaag, moet studente gelei word om<br />
God se Koningskap in alle aspekte van die onderwysprofessie eerste te stel. Met hierdie<br />
opleiding probeer Aros om ’n bydrae te lewer in die uitbouing van Christelike (gereformeerde) 4. Aros-beheer<br />
onderwys in Suid-Afrika.<br />
Aros word deur ’n raad beheer. Die lede van die raad is prof H de Jager (voorsitter), mev G<br />
de Vries, dr M Nel, mnr N Roets en prof P Stoker. Raadslede word vir vier jaar benoem en<br />
Die groot tekort aan onderwysers wat tans heers, bied die ideale geleentheid om gelowige,<br />
is herkiesbaar. Die direkteure is ex offi cio-raadslede.<br />
kundige onderwysers op te lei, en om sodoende ’n hoë standaard van onderrig te verseker<br />
en ’n wesenlike invloed op die denke van die gemeenskap uit te oefen.<br />
Sien bladsy 16 vir ’n nadere uitwerking van hierdie begronding.<br />
2. Uitnodiging<br />
Aros nooi graag studente wat hulle met die organisasie se begronding vereenselwig en<br />
belangstel om onderwys te studeer, om met Aros te skakel vir nadere inligting.<br />

Aros<br />
’n Bybelse mensbeeld<br />
Die basis vir die Christen-onderwyser<br />
se onderrig<br />
Deur die eeue is baie besin oor die vraag: “wie of wat is<br />
die mens?” Verskillende denkers het tot uiteenlopende<br />
gevolgtrekkings gekom. Vir Plato was die mens ‘n denkende (rasionele) wese, terwyl Marx<br />
weer die mens tot ‘n ekonomiese wese gereduseer het. Vir die gelowige onderwyser is die<br />
antwoord op hierdie vraag van kardinale belang. Sy siening van die mens, bepaal hoe die<br />
onderrig wat hy gee, daar uitsien.<br />
Hierdie hoofstuk let onder meer op die volgende aspekte:<br />
• Die mens na die beeld van God geskape<br />
• Die roeping van die mens<br />
• Die mens – ‘n eenheid<br />
Na afhandeling van hierdie hoofstuk sal jy ‘n duideliker beeld kan vorm van wat die<br />
Bybel oor die mens leer. ‘n Bybelgefundeerde mensbeeld sal jou nie net help om op<br />
die regte manier teenoor die leerlinge in jou klas op te tree nie, maar ook teenoor jou<br />
kollegas en die ouers met wie jy daagliks in aanraking kom.<br />

Die onderwyser is die persoon wat op grondvlak moet verseker dat<br />
onderrig nie net van ‘n hoë akademiese standaard is nie,<br />
maar ook van ‘n Bybelse begronding getuig.<br />

Highlights<br />
When a baby is born we nurture it and protect it. And as it grows we live with the hope that with our support it will<br />
grow and prosper and reach great heights. So it is with every new initiative of the WRC. Some ideas take off quickly,<br />
others take longer to grow and develop. In the end all of the Commission’s efforts are aimed at growing the armoury<br />
of knowledge needed to stave off challenges and ensure a better water future for all citizens.<br />
Whether aimed at developing new technologies for water and wastewater treatment and pollution prevention,<br />
dis<strong>co</strong>vering better ways to manage our water resources or improving water and sanitation services to our <strong>co</strong>mmunities,<br />
these initiatives are not undertaken in isolation. In all its pursuits, the WRC aspires to grow its partnerships with sector<br />
role-players, both locally and across the border, while at the same time growing sector research capacity, leveraging<br />
expertise and supplying innovation across South Africa. One of the most important activities of the WRC is knowledge<br />
dissemination, with the Annual Report being one of its most important knowledgesharing platforms. In this chapter we<br />

Testimonials<br />
We are particularly impressed by the editorial skills, as well as the project management<br />
experience that we received from JSES. It is certainly an advantage that JSES can provide<br />
an all-in-one service, which includes both the editing and the layout, which saves time<br />
and money. I do not hesitate to re<strong>co</strong>mmend making use of the services of JSES.<br />
- Ntsatsi Mantsho<br />
Research Projects Support Officer, Research and Innovation Support, University of Pretoria<br />
JSES performs accurate work of a good quality. Janine Smit has good relationship<br />
management skills as our project requires her to work with a range of role-players.<br />
There are tight deadlines to be met and this results in tremendous pressure. However,<br />
JSES still produces excellent work under trying <strong>co</strong>nditions.<br />
- Wallace Isaacs<br />
Deputy Director: Student Recruitment and Retention, University of Pretoria<br />
It has been an utmost pleasure to deal with Janine Smit and her team at JSES since I<br />
joined the University of Pretoria in 2003. Even before this time, Janine had already made<br />
professional inroads regarding the production of numerous print media from start to<br />
finish at the University. I have found Janine very reliable and trustworthy. I have no<br />
hesitation in re<strong>co</strong>mmending JSES for high-quality workmanship, as well as innovative<br />
