Homicide in Global Extremes
Homicide remains a major cause of death globally. The global risk differentials are a persistent public health challenge. Africa’s homicide rate of 13 victims per 100,000 people is markedly higher than the European average (2.2 per 100,000 people). To understand the causes of such large differences, homicide research needs to move from country-level rates to disaggregated analyses in which homicide is broken down by victim, offender, and incident…
Socio-Economic and Political Impact of Pandemics in the African Continent and Regional Mechanisms to Mitigate it
Throughout the history of African societies, pandemics have claimed, in some instances more lives than warfare. Africa is susceptible to many pandemics. Given the state of underdevelopment amongst African nation-states characterised by low levels of education, poor health care facilities, lack of basic infrastructure, poverty, low levels of income, lack of skilled health care workers, and many more factors, it is not sufficiently equipped to hand…
The Role of Faith-based Organizations (FBOs) in the Rehabilitation of Offenders
Since time immemorial, religion has been, and is, a part of society that provides a moral compass and stability in society. It regulates human behavior so that there is conformity to norms and values that are upheld by society. Deviation from these norms and values is subject to sanction, which results in incarceration. At the turn of the 20th century, a more proactive step has been taken for the rehabilitation of those who have come into conflic…
Boko Haram’s Terrorism and the Nigerian State
Reflection on the Xenophobic Violence against African Migrants in South Africa
Female Trans-border Migration
In the trans-border migration discourse, it would appear that such forms of migration in the main comprise men. Scant attention has been accorded to researching female initiated migration. One of the challenges confronting migration researchers is access to respondents that will share their experiences in fear of being exposed to repatriation or coming into conflict with migratory laws of the host country. This study overcomes such challenges by …
Planning and Sustainable Development of Low Income Human Settlements in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Integrated Development Planning (IDP) is one of the key tools used by the South African Government to deal with its developmental role in the post-apartheid era. In contrast to the role of planning in the past, integrated development planning is now a function of municipal management for service delivery in the different sectors. It serves as the principal strategic management instrument for municipalities. In the housing sector numerous policies…
India and its Diaspora
Indian immigrants to South Africa in the late nineteenth century differed in terms of their origins, motivations, belief systems, customs, and practices from the indigenous African population as well as from the ruling white settler elite. It is within this context that this paper interrogates some of the ways in which several generations of (Indian) Hindus constructed and continue to (re)construct their religious identities in South Africa. Data…

Religious Co-existence
Religious Co-existence
The 9/11 bombings sparked worldwide debate on religious tolerance and co-existence amongst different faith groups. Living in a global village with porous boundaries, the movement of people to different regions and localities has added a plural dimension to the practice of religion. In the case of South Africa, such religious pluralism has existed for more than three centuries. For the past 150 years, Indians of both the Hindu and Islamic faiths h…

Rebranding of the Greater St Lucia Wetlands Park in South Africa

Provision of Sustainable and Liveable Low Income Human Settlements in the Province of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa - An Analysis of Policy Contradictions and Challenges
The provision of liveable and sustainable low income housing in South Africa is a highly contested social issue which has filtered into the new democracy posing major challenges for policy makers, development practitioners and agents.

The es…

The 2010 XVI th Sasa Congress
Children of a Lesser God’
Muslims in South Africa constitute a heterogeneous group with diverse sociohistorical backgrounds. Each of these sub-groups evolved under a common politically repressive environment and over time succeeded in moving beyond some of the sociological shocks and vulnerability unleashed by the colonial and subsequent apartheid regimes. Their social evolution varies and over time distinct cultural and religious practices developed, which make each grou…
Privatiser pour mieux réguler ? Le pari de Durban en matière de transport public
Durban, à l’image des autres métropoles sud-africaines, est confrontée à l’urgente nécessité de mettre en œuvre une politique des transports qui contribue efficacement au processus de déségrégation socio-spatiale des cités post-apartheid. Le pari qui a été fait par la municipalité a consisté à céder au secteur privé sa compagnie de bus afin d’avoir la possibilité de créer une instance de régulation de l’ensemble du secteur de transport local : l’…
La décentralisation sud-africaine et les métropoles
En installant les premières municipalités conformes à la Constitution de 1996, l’Afrique du Sud expérimente un modèle de décentralisation dans lequel le gouvernement local est une sphère de gouvernement au même titre que le gouvernement national et provincial. En charge des services publics et du développement local, les gouvernements locaux se voient ainsi confier une bonne part de la responsabilité de résorber la pauvreté et les inégalités soci…
