It has since merged with the Technikon Witwatersrand and two campuses of Vista University to form the University of Johannesburg..
This contribution identifies four phases of land settlement by Whites in South-West Africa between 1915 and 1931. First there was the period of military government from 1915 to 1920 when large numbers of White stock farmers from the Union entered the territory. These settlers were established on uninhabited, but surveyed, government ground. During the second phase (1920 - 1925) approximately 1200 farms were granted to new White farmers in accordance with the land Settlement Act (1920) of the Union of South Africa. Thereafter a period of consolidation followed (1925 - 1928) as the Land Board attempted to settle keen, new farmers in the rural areas. The arrival of the Angolan farmers forms the fourth phase of White settlement and by 1939 all available government farms in South-West Africa had been granted.
A steady-state model was developed to predict the performance of the high-pressure side of vapour-compression air-conditioning systems. The model consists of two segments; the compressor model and condenser model. The compressor model consists of a single empirical equation, for reciprocating compressors, operating with R-22, and having a cooling capacity from 2.6 to 3.5 kW. An important advantage of the approach is that the compressor performance indexes are based on operating conditions. The condenser model displays an exact method to determine physical dimensions of heat exchangers, and a simple, accurate manner to calculate the heat transfer variables. The correctness of the condensing temperature is obtained by an iterative procedure, using terms from both the compressor and condenser studies. The feasibility of the proposed model is demonstrated via a comparison with experimental data and a simulation study. Results indicate a good correlation between the mathematical model and its counterparts.
In this article it is postulated that a critical/analytical reading of TV programmes should be an eclectic (or multi-disciplinary) transaction. With the "auteurism" viewpoint (vide Lapsley et all, Reader-response Criti cism (Allen et al) and the British Cul tural Studies (Birmingham) approach (Fiske et al) as point of departure, the popular Afrikaans sitcom ORK NEY SNORK NIE! (SABC TV1) is used as "vehicle" to demonstrate that TV viewing is a highly entangled, inter textual, communication transaction. The question of genre delimination, as an ideological implement, is also mooted. Two diagrammes (the nar ratological prose model and the "6 phase" communication model) are used as illustration to elucidate on encoding/decoding, with special emphasis on the contribution of the various sender collaborators and on author Esterhuizen as primary source of signification. With due allowance for the TV viewer as a reader who "negotiates" and "opposes", to use Althusser's terms, this article is an attempt at TV deconstruction in or der to demonstrate certain theories of pictorial communication and dis course analysis.
Structural transformation also involves definite encounter between law and theology. The purpose is to balance individual and corporate values in order to facilitate the process of social renewal in South Africa. Reconstruction of a society primarily originates from life-giving values in the thought structure of its people. New Testament perspectives on an anthropology which believes in the potential of humans shed light on God’s ‘new’ spiritual ‘RDP’ programme.
