Kwesekwa abacwaningi abawu-4700 sebebonke ngesikhathi,<br />
u-36% kwakungabamnyama futhi u-38% kungabesifazane.<br />
Nakuba isibalo sabacwaningi abamnyama nabesifazane<br />
abesekwa, sakhula ngo-8% nango-5% unyaka nonyaka, ukukhula<br />
okuhamba kancane ezibalweni kuyinkomba yenselele yoguquko<br />
ohlelweni lonke.<br />
Isamba sezigidi eziwu-R734 sabelwa ukutshalwa kwezimali<br />
okuyisu u-56% noma izigidi eziwu-R413, wawutshalwe ku-South<br />
African Research Chairs Initiative SARChI. Ngomhla ka-31 Mashi<br />
<strong>2018</strong>, osihlalo bocwaningo abawu-226 banikezwa, abawu-215<br />
kwakungabenza umsebenzi. I-SARChl seyeseke ngokuqondile<br />
izitshudeni ezineziqu ezingaphezu kwezokuqala eziwu-1147 (u-<br />
52% ngabesifazane kanti u-61% ngabamnyama) ngokusebenzisa<br />
imifundaze exhunywe nabanikazi bezibonelelo ngokuhamba<br />
kwesikhathi. Izikhungo ezingama-Centre of Excellence eziyi-15<br />
(ama-CoE) zabelwa izigidi eziwu-R168 ngonyaka wezimali futhi<br />
kwesekwa izitshudeni ezineziqu ezingaphezu kweziqu zokuqala<br />
eziwu-840 eziwu-56% zazo kwakungabesifazane kanti u-59%<br />
kwakungezimnyama.<br />
Enhlosweni yokuhlinzeka “ngamaplatifomu aholayo ngocwaningo<br />
nengqalasizinda”, inhlangano yatshala u-R11.8 bhiliyoni.<br />
Isamba esiyizigidi eziwu-R159 sabelwa ngesimo sezibonelelo<br />
zengqalasizinda yocwaningo kumanyuvesi ngokusebenzisa<br />
uhlelo i-National Equipment Programme (NEP). Ezinye izigidi<br />
eziwu-R633 zatshalwa eziNdaweni Zocwaningo Zikazwelonke<br />
futhi u-R1 bhiliyoni watshalwa endaweni eyenziwa yeastronomi<br />
yomsakazo, i-South African Radio Astronomy<br />
Observatory (SARAO), ukuqedela Umboniso we-MeerKAT.<br />
Izindawo Zocwaningo Zikazwelonke amaplatifomu ocwaningo<br />
akhiqiza kakhulu okuhloswe ngazo ukuhlinzeka ingqalasizinda<br />
yocwaningo kanye namandla okusuphavayiza ohlelweni<br />
lwenyuvesi ngesikhathi kubandakanywa ocwaningweni<br />
nasentuthukweni okuncintisana umhlaba jikelele. Izindawo<br />
Zocwaningo Zikazwelonke zakhiqiza i-Web of Science (ISI) ewu-<br />
574 yoshicilelo olunezitifiketi ngonyaka kanye nokwenza ngcono<br />
umthelela wokucaphuna onqwabelanayo wonyaka ukuya ku-<br />
1.47 ukusuka ku-1.33 wonyaka owedlule. Izindawo Zocwaningo<br />
Zikazwelonke kubandakanya i-SKA SA nazo zasuphavayiza<br />
izitshudeni ezineziqu ezingaphezu kweziqu zokuqala eziwu-629.<br />
Ekulandeleni inhloso “Yomphakathi ofundile ngesayensi<br />
nobandakanyekayo”, inhlangano yatshala izigidi eziwu-R106<br />
emisebenzini ebandakanya isayensi. Ngemizamo ehlukene<br />
ezweni lonke, inhlangano yaqeqesha abafundisi abawu-2741<br />
yabandakanya abafundi abawu-179 315. Isamba samalungu<br />
awu- 1 191 892 somphakathi sahlanganyela emisebenzini<br />
yokubandakanya isayensi ehlukene ngesikhathi sokubika.<br />
Njengenhlangano ezimisele ngokuguqula isikhungo,<br />
nasekulandeleni inhloso yokwenza “abasebenzi bocwaningo<br />
abamelelayo nabanobuchwepheshe” i-<strong>NRF</strong> yeqela<br />
ngale kokuhlosiwe koguquko emkhakheni wabasebenzi<br />
bobuchwepheshe abakhulu nabaphethe ababevela emaqenjini<br />
akhethiwe. Ukumelelwa kwabamnyama abawu-52% kwafezwa<br />
kuqhathaniswa nokuhlosiwe okuwu-45% kanye nokumelelwa<br />
kwabesifazane abawu-35% kuqhathaniswa nokuhlosiwe<br />
okuwu-32%. Ukufezwa kokuhlosiwe koguquko kwethu<br />
kuqathaniswa nokusebenza okuhlosile nokuqhubekayo kohlaka<br />
loguquko lwe-<strong>NRF</strong> kanye nohlelo lobulungiswa emsebenzini.<br />
Imisebenzi emisiwe<br />
Imisebenzi ye-National Zoological Gardens (NZG) yadluliselwa<br />
ku-South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) kusukela<br />
mhla ka-1 Ephreli <strong>2018</strong> njengoba beyinegunya elifanele elingcono.<br />
Njengengxenye yomsebenzi wokuhlela wezinhlobo zohlu olude,<br />
ze-iThemba LABS, ithimba longcweti lahlangana ukubukeza<br />
imisebenzi eNdaweni Yocwaningo Lukazwelonke futhi bahlinzeka<br />
ngezincomo kubaphathi maqondana negunya locwaningo.<br />
Ukubheka iyunithi yokwelapha yengxenye nekakhulukazi<br />
‘isibhedlela’, ukwehla okukhula emisebenzini yokwelapha<br />
engxenyeni yokwelapha kwaba sobala oguqukweni lomhlaba<br />
ekwelapheni okwaholela ekubeni khona kwemishini yokwelapha<br />
esikulungele ukusebenza eyabekwa ezibhedlela esezisimeme.<br />
Ngenxa yalesi sizathu, Ibhodi ye-<strong>NRF</strong> yeseka isiphakamiso<br />
sokumisa uhlelo loKwelapha Lwengxenye e-iThemba LABS.<br />
Izinselele ezaba khona<br />
Ukuxhasa ngemali okukhethiwe kwenza u-76% wesabelo sisonke<br />
se-<strong>NRF</strong> kanti ibekelwe imizamo ethize ngqo. U-24% osele<br />
wesabelo soxhaso sonke kuneZibonelelo Zasephalamende<br />
(20%) kanye nenye imali engenayo (4%). Ngokukhula okuncane<br />
unyaka nonyaka emibandeleni emincane (4.9%), isibonelelo<br />
sasephalamende sehlile ngo-0,3% ezikhathini zangempela<br />
zonyaka ophela ngoMashi <strong>2018</strong>. Ukwehla okuqhubekayo<br />
kwesibonelelo sasephalamende ngemibandela yangempela<br />
kusalokhu kuwumkhakha okhathazayo ekuqhubekeni<br />
kwemisebenzi nasezimalini zenhlangano. Ukuze kwenziwe<br />
ngcono amandla e-<strong>NRF</strong> ukwenza ngendlela efanele igunya<br />
layo, kuyodingeka ukuthi imali ekhethelwe kanye neyenkontileka<br />
ibandakanywe esibonelelweni sasephalamende.<br />
Izindaba Zombiko Wokucwaningwa Kwamabhuku<br />
Ukucwaningwa kwamabhuku kwangaphandle okwenziwa<br />
yihhovisi loMcwaningi Mabhuku Jikelele waseNingizimu<br />
Afrika (AGSA) kwaholela ekucwaningweni kwamabhuku<br />
okungenagcobho onyakeni owaphela ngomhla ka-31 Mashi <strong>2018</strong>.<br />
