I dedicate this thesis to the following people:
DEDICATION
• My mother, Joyce Lindeni Mfayela, who passed away in 2007, a month after my
Masters graduation. She would have been very happy to see me achieving this
degree.
• My uncle, Hezron Mncube, and my aunt, Sarah Mncube, the ones who guided
me all the way until I was able to live an independent life. My uncle and my aunt,
you have given me a special gift. Thank you so much!
