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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

Zanamivir begin word sonder om vir laboratoriumbevestiging<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 />

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 />

Board of Directors<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 />

(iii) Conclusion<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 />

the new Children’s Act, 2005 (Act No 38 of 2005), as well <strong>co</strong>urts with jurisdiction. Engagements with all relevant<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 />

understand their rights, the demand for the services that<br />

Financial Officer has set aside R35 million for the provision<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 />

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 />

• 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 />

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 />

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 />

Akademie Reformatoriese Opleiding en Studies 3<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 />

the Chairpersonship of Mr. T Setiloane. In this regard I wish to<br />

Thank you!<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 />
