The effectiveness of protests and mobilization for social justice and representation for the marginalised is undermined by the violence often portrayed in protests. While there has been extensive research on the phenomenon of violent protests, this study focused on exploring students' first encounters and conditioning regarding violent protesting. The theoretical framework also interrogates the concept of emancipatory violence postulated by Frantz Fanon as a pathway to understanding the dynamics of violent protesting.

Despite more than two decades of democratic rule in South Africa, the country's agricultural industry is essentially unchanged, consisting of two distinct sectors: large-scale commercial white farmers and small-scale or emerging black farmers. This dual agrarian economy consists of thousands of emerging farmers who are typified by inadequate and inefficient on-farm infrastructure, a lack of arable land, uncoordinated production, and large-scale commercial farmers who produce nearly 95 per cent of agricultural products.

This study probed the cultural influences on how women construct their femininity in society and examined sexuality through women’s perceptions of their body, sex, and sexual pleasure using an African Feminist lens. The complexities of women’s desire to assert an identity combined with the contestation of normative femininity, sex, gender, and power relations in a culturally saturated township community were unbundled.

The history of South African Indian theatre coincides with the arrival of indentured labourers from India in 1860. This type of theatre has evolved and changed with South Africa’s shifting political terrain, moving from ritual theatre to realism and protest theatre during apartheid. These ongoing changes now include Bollywood theatre, an adaptation of Bollywood cinema, which resonates strongly within the South African Indian diaspora (Desai, 2004). The aim of this research is to describe the writing, directing, and staging of this type of theatre in the city of Durban in South Africa.

Early childhood is a formative period during which distinguishable development has projections of bearing desirable outcomes within an individual. This critical period requires interventions that have ramifications for later life. This research study aimed at exploring physical well-being of four-year-old learners in relation to their readiness for Grade R. The study was particularly interested in their level of independence when carrying out certain physical activities.

The BRICS economies—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—represent the vanguard of emerging economies. Over the past 20 years, they have benefited from both the benefits and drawbacks of globalisation, impressing with quick, accelerated growth rates. Hence the need to study the BRICS New Development Bank As Alternative To The World Bank And IMF: A Better Economic Balance And Sustainable Development For African Region.” In recent decades, the BRICS have garnered a lot of attention on the international relations and economic scenes.

experience of pregnancy and childbirth are life changing for women. In most African societies, childcare is often a woman’s responsibility. The motherhood journey of a young woman may be significantly impacted by the presence and/or absence of a biological mother. The presence of a biological mother is regarded as important in all stages of development, particularly for female children. However, mothers are absent for a number of reasons including their death.

Gender-based violence (GBV) is a pervasive and alarming violation of human rights, reaching epidemic proportions in South Africa with a prevalence rate exceeding 50%. This study addresses the urgent need for effective social work interventions by developing comprehensive guidelines tailored to the unique challenges faced by GBV victims in Umhlathuze, KwaZulu-Natal. Resilience theory was used as the study's theoretical framework, the research unfolds through a phenomenological design involving social workers as purposively selected participants for this study.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an organisation's ongoing commitment to ethical behaviour and economic development, as well as improving the quality of life for its employees and their families, the local community, and society at large. It is an unavoidable requirement for long-term development, particularly in developing countries. Although there has been some focus on CSR and business performance in large corporations, research on CSR in SMEs, particularly in economically depressed African countries is becoming increasingly important.

Improving the administration of disability grants in South Africa’s Social Security Agency was the primary focus of the study. Although the South African social security grant categories include the child support grant, older age persons’ grant, disability grant, grant-in-aid, care dependency grant, war veterans grant and the foster child grants, this study only focused on disability grants. In South Africa, fraud and maladministration are among the challenges impacting the quality of public service delivery. In terms of the study, the impact of this amongst other issues were investigated.
