After more than twenty years of freedom and democracy South Africa still struggles to make the ideal of a united, democratic, free, non-racial, non-sexist society a reality.

Health as a category of human capital is generally ex-pected to influence an individual’s labour supply and productivity.

The aim of this study was to explore women representation in the South African National Defence Forces in the Limpopo Province.

Kwiphulo lokungciba eli thanda, ndenze isifundo esithelekisa iimbongi ezimbini zomthonyama ezitshatsheleyo kwixesha elilandela ubandlululo eMzantsi Afrika, uZolani Mkiva noMzwakhe Mbuli.
