The post-apartheid era in South Africa created an environment where people of different socio-economic and racial orientations can work together on an equal basis. Thus, citizens come to the work environment with diverse socio-cultural values, which influence their perceptions of communication within any given organisational context. The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) training environment comprises diverse socio-cultural aspects including race, language, class and gender, where recruits are trained in one environment despite their socio-cultural differences.

Background: Women have an increased risk of mental health disorders during pregnancy, especially after giving birth, and these disorders are associated with increased maternal morbidity and mortality, and adverse child health outcomes. Traditional healers (THs) are an important source of psychiatric support to pregnant women in many parts of the world. The aim of this study was to develop guidelines to be used by THs in the provision of maternal mental health care services at Vhembe District in Limpopo Province.

Women's leadership has historically received little attention from academics. Information on male traditional leaders has historically dominated traditional leadership and leadership in general. Among the Vhavenda, women only participate, to a certain extent, in traditional leadership roles, for there have always been obstacles for them to overcome; men dominate in leadership roles, particularly in traditional settings. Patriarchal barriers, which are still regarded as inviolable in many societies on the African continent, could be the cause of this.

This study investigated the livelihood challenges faced by informal waste pickers in Mahikeng, South Africa and developed intervention guidelines to enhance their socioeconomic conditions. Despite their significant contribution to environmental sustainability and resource recovery, informal waste pickers operate under precarious conditions characterised by economic vulnerability, health risks, and social marginalisation.

The area of Error Analysis (EA) has extensively been researched for the past 40+ years through Second Language (L2) learning, but adequate attention has not been given to First Language (L1) learning. Although few researchers have covered some of the L1 grounds in other African languages, this area, especially on morphological and phonological components is relatively new in Northern Sotho.

The legacy of imperialism on Indigenous belief systems has imprinted an arguable influence on the identity and traditions of religiosity in the histories of Africa. The phenomenon of religion entails socio-political and cultural realities, some of which may overlap, correspond, or compete with different fields of study, which ultimately bears an impact on the conventional understanding of religious meaning, practice, and function.

Crime prevention has been recognised as one of the key national priorities in South Africa since the establishment of the National Crime Prevention Strategy (NCPS) in 1996. It is viewed to be the responsibility and duty of the South African Police Service (SAPS); however, with a range of crimes caused by different factors, it is impossible to rely exclusively on the police to prevent crime.

In this era of globalization, education is considered a first step for every human activity. Globally, learners are expected to attend school regularly per the national school calendar and rest after school, during weekends, holidays, and school holidays.

African Traditional Medicine is the sum total of skills and practices based on beliefs and experiences of traditional to African cultures that are used to prevent, diagnose, improve or treat physical and mental illnesses. Traditional medicine used to be the dominant medical system available to millions of people in Africa in both rural and urban communities. Indeed, it was the only source of medical care for a greater proportion of the population (Romero-Daza, 2002).

This study investigates interjections in Xitsonga, a part of speech that has not yet been thoroughly studied. The study uses a qualitative research method to collect, interpret, and analyse non-numerical data on Xitsonga interjections morphologically, semantically, and syntactically.
