- Description: The formation of FOSATU is part of a long history of struggle to organise the Black workers of South Africa into independent, non-racial trade unions. Black worker resistance in South Africa is as old as the introduction of wage labour but the first effective recorded trade union organising black workers was started in 1917 to be followed by the more famous ICU (Industrial and Commercial Workers Union) in 1919. Ever since then unions have fought against State and employer hostility to the unionisation of black workers. Other federations rose and fell. The 1950's marked a great rise in political and worker organisation with the emergence of the South African Congress of Trade Unions (SACTU) as part of the Congress Alliance. Severe State repression led to the 1960's being a low point of worker organisation. However, growing economic problems of inflation, unemployment and poverty plus a very much larger industrial working class led to an upsurge of worker militancy in the early 1970's. This gave rise to new union organisation in Natal, Transvaal and Port Elizabeth. By 1974 new coordinating bodies had emerged in Natal and the Transvaal. The need for greater unity was clear in the face of hostility from the State, employers and established unions - both the racist white unions and those in the Trade Union Council of South Africa (TUCSA).

- Description: The Federation of South African Trade Unions - FOSATU - was formed on the 14th and 15th April 1979 at an Inaugural Congress held at Hammanskraal, north of Pretoria. The Congress was attended by 130 delegates representating 12 founding unions. FOSATU was formed as a federation to unite all workers irrespective of race, creed or sex who shared the common objective of struggling for the rights of workers. Our prime objective is to organise workers in their workplace and through the strength of their organisation to eliminate the racial discrimination and racial divisions that are used to perpetuate the exploitation of the oppressed majority of workers. It is a federation of industrial unions bound by common policies and objectives and based on the closest possible cooperation to the mutual benefit of all its affiliates and their members.

- Description: The activity of a 0.1% amcinonide cream was compared with those of selected proprietary topical corticosteroid formulations of potencies differing according to the United Kingdom (U.K.) MIMS classification (very potent, potent and moderately potent) using a standard six hour vasoconstrictor assay with multiple reading times. Statistical analysis indicated that 0.1% amcinonide cream feU within the category of a very potent preparation. Three 0.1% amcinonide formulations (cream, combination cream and combination ointment, the last two containing anti-infective agents) were equipotent in the skin-blanching test.

Aenigmatite stability in silica-undersaturated rocks

- Description: Aenigmatite is common in many trachytes, phonolites and agpaitic nepheline syenites. Petrographic evidence suggests that the aenigmatite in these rocks arises by the reaction of Ti-magnetite with a peralkaline silica-undersaturated liquid, and it is postulated that a no-oxide field, where aenigmatite is stable, exists in alkaline undersaturated magmas.

- Description: The Granitberg foyaite complex is one of three known alkaline igneous complexes, which, together with a dyke swarm, constitute the Liüderitz Alkaline Province of Lower Cretaceous age. The near-circular complex is emplaced into dolomites and sandstones of the Bogenfels Formation. A large fragment of these sedimentary rocks, originally forming the roof of the intrusion, is preserved in the centre of the complex.

- Description: A series of amine complexes has been prepared by reaction of zinc chloride and mercuric chloride with primary aromatic amines. A detailed assignment of the bands in the infra-red spectra of the complexes in the range 4000-625 cm [superscript]-1 is presented. The symmetric and asymmetric N-H stretching frequencies follow the relationship v(sym) = 345.5+ 0.876v(asym). The C-N stretching frequencies exhibit a linear relationship with the Hammett α-functions for the m- and p-substituted amines.

- Description: A series of novel cadmium complexes has been synthesized from the reaction of cadmium chloride, bromide and iodide with primary aromatic amines. The complexes are either mononuclear or polynuclear according to the nature of the halide and amine employed. A possible mechanism for their formation is proposed. The N - H stretching and bending frequencies are linearly related to the electronegativity of the co-ordinated halogen, indicating that the electron withdrawing capacity of the halogen is transmitted through the cadmium atom.

- Description: A series of tailored novobiocin–ferrocene conjugates was prepared in moderate yields and investigated for in vitro anticancer and antiplasmodial activity against the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer line and Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 strain, respectively. While the target compounds displayed moderate anticancer activity against the breast cancer cell line with IC50 values in the mid-micromolar range, compounds 10a–c displayed promising antiplasmodial activity as low as 0.889 µM. Furthermore, the most promising compounds were tested for inhibitory effects against a postulated target, heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90).

- Description: All married women earning over R150 per month or over R34 per week have PAYE deducted from their wages. PAYE is income tax which is paid by workers on the "pay as you earn" system. Married men, however, pay tax only when their wages are over R500 per month. Single women pay tax only when their wages are over R350 per month. As you can see from the tables which follow, the tax on married women can be quite high. For example, if a married woman earns R220 per month, she will have R9,45 per month deducted from her wages for PAYE. (See Table No. 4). Married women who have children pay the same tax as if they haul no children, too. And there is no reduction in tax if you are over 60 years old, as there is for men. There is nothing can be done about this discrimination against married women until the government changes the tax rules.
