- Description: The Development Studies Unit (DSU) seeks to identify and promote strategies and mechanisms for creating jobs in the Eastern Cape. In general, this approach seeks to alleviate the effects of endemic poverty amongst Black communities in the region and to facilitate their economic empowerment. Securing these goals is considered to be vitally important in the development process; which, in turn, consists of finding appropriate ways and means to create opportunities for impoverished communities to take control of their own destinies and to establish themselves as an economic force in the region. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: [Summary] In this chapter, a guided imagery method used in gestalt therapy was described in detail and analyzed into its specific components. The basic principles underlying the imagery work were shown to be analogous to those upon which standard cognitive therapy is founded, and this was illustrated by means of case examples, first from one of Perls' dreamwork seminars and then from the author's case files. It was shown how the method could be used to elicit the idiosyncratic meanings of the client in relation to a specific theme and to identify core dysfunctional assumptions. Illustrations were given of specific techniques that could be employed to challenge and restructure these cognitions. The benefits of the imagery modality are that it provides: (1) access to cognitions underlying emotional responses that may be difficult to identify through questioning, (2) a holistic presentation of networks of beliefs, and (3) a means of keeping the client in contact with avoided painful affect. Once a good conceptualization of the client's problem has been achieved, guided imagery provides a modality within which specific strategies for cognitive restructuring can be facilitated through guided discovery. Therapists who are willing to explore this modality and find an aptitude for it will be gaining access to something that will greatly enrich their potential for helping and can provide exciting avenues for developing their own creativity in the challenging work of enabling clients to identify and free themselves from dysfunctional personal meaning systems.

- Description: The Standard Bank National Festival of the Arts is held annually in early July in Grahamstown. Apart from its importance as a national cultural event, the Festival is vitally important to the economy of Grahamstown. The annual influx of Festival participants results in expenditure amounting to several million rand, concentrated into a hectic nine-day extravaganza. The Development Studies Unit at Rhodes University and the 1820 Foundation have attempted to monitor the nature and extent of the Festival's impact on Grahamstown since 1987. Information is collected by means of a voluntary questionnaire (the Fest-Quest), and provides a useful resource for the Festival organizers as well as insights into the relative economic importance of the occasion. Fest-Quest '88 is the second such survey undertaken. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: The local government level has historically been the most neglected aspect of government in South Africa, both in research and in conventional political activity. Yet, paradoxically, it has been the level at which several crucial government policies have played themselves out, away from the public eye, but drastic in their effects on the material and political position of all inhabitants of towns and cities in South Africa. This research into local government was begun with two basic questions in mind. Firstly, local-level attempts to alter their own institutional structures needed to be documented and analysed. A consideration of six case studies of white initiatives for change at the local level uncovered numerous political and economic dimensions which interact and set constraints on each other. It is impossible to produce one final interpretation of why these local events happened, what their significance was, and what possibilities they offer for the future. Invariably, each case study is a microcosm of the broader multifaceted conflict in South Africa. This report is an attempt to present as many of these dimensions as possible, even though it cannot ever be complete. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: The liparidid fishes collected in the Southern Ocean by the U.S. Navy vessel “Eltanin” were reviewed in an unpublished M.Sc. thesis by the junior author (Tompkins, 1977). These collections include several hundred specimens, of which 134, representing at least 10 species of the genus Paraliparis, have been re-examined by the senior author and are the subject of the present paper. Descriptions are given for five new species of Antarctic Paraliparis: P. anarthractae, P. andriashevi, P. eltanini, P. incognita, and P. fuscolingua. Four of the new species are illustrated; the fifth (P. incognita) was illustrated by Andriashev (1986: Fig. 59) as P. terraenovae Regan, 1916. P. edentatus Andriashev, 1986 is synonymized with P. terraenovae, and additional data on this species are presented. A probable new species of Paraliparis is diagnosed but not named due to the poor condition of the single specimen. New records of five other rare species (P. antarcticus Regan P. devriesi Andriashev, P. meganchus Andriashev, P. stehmanni Andriashev, and P. tetrapteryx Andriashev) are discussed. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

- Description: The process of managing and administering regional development in South Africa is in need of drastic revision. Exactly what form such revision takes, however, is not yet clear. The extent to which the structure and organisation of regional development programmes is intricately associated with the ideological principles of macro-apartheid is part of the problem and a great deal of work requires to be done in order to arrive at proposals which could constitute points of departure for constructing a new approach. This research is a small step in that direction and should be seen as a means to an end in an on-going process. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: On June 12, 1986, the South African government responded to a strong upsurge in popular resistance with an intensive security crackdown. It is estimated that between 25 000 and 40 000 so- called extra-parliamentary opponents were detained during the first twelve months of South Africa's third state of emergency. These detentions, plus a range of other repressive devices, were part of a determined campaign on the part of the state to reorientate the political process in favour of white domination. There can be little doubt that this third state of emergency, two years old in June 1988, has halted - albeit temporarily - the erosion of the state's authority. Extra-parliamentary opposition has been bruised. Yet Pretoria's purpose is not merely to secure the grudging compliance of a submissive and sullen black community. The government's longer-term aim is to create a climate in which selected "moderate" black groups can be persuaded to endorse a reformed version of the present, apartheid-based, constitution. This report is largely based on the findings of an attitudinal survey of township residents in two Eastern Cape towns which was conducted one year after the third emergency was declared. A considerable volume of information on repression in the Eastern Cape - and, particularly, social conflict emanating from the actions of officials of the state - has been gathered over the past three years by organisations of lawyers, church bodies, local communities, and support and monitoring groups such as the Black Sash. Much of this is in the form of signed statements by eye-witnesses, newspaper reports, and documentation from political trials. However, up to this point no empirical study of any scale of such conditions in the region has been undertaken. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: There has recently been considerable interest in the viability of co-operative enterprise as a means to both social and economic empowerment. The objectives of this broadly-based research have been to address a number of basic aspects of co-operative endeavour. The first of these concerns the realisation that 'cooperative' has become something of a generic term, often incorrectly applied, for any venture which involves a group of persons working towards a common goal, and which has consequently achieved a certain popularity as a political catchword in some circles. The purpose here has been to outline the social, economic and basic legal conditions circumscribed by an accurate definition of this term. The second objective has been to state clearly the different types of co-operative which exist. All subscribe to a similar set of philosophical principles, yet have different purposes. The major categories of co-operative enterprise are called Producer Co-operatives, Service Co-operatives, Worker Cooperatives, Housing Co-operatives, Benefit Societies and Consumer Co-operatives. This list is not exhaustive, and the various other sub-divisions of co-operative endeavour fall under the aegis of one or other of these categories. The third objective has been to acknowledge the different emphases which can be exploited by co-operative projects. These fall into two broad categories; namely, as instruments of economic or of social change. Having investigated the nature of co-operative endeavour, it has been important to accept the fact that despite much well- meaning activity in a sphere which has been lauded by some as a universal panacea to the social and economic ills which beset South Africa in these present times, the success rate of co-operatives has been far less than perfect. The reasons for this situation rest on a number of factors; the most important of which have to do with the degree of cooperative community ethos, access to capital for startup costs, the degree and nature of skills available, and the degree of training and experience in marketing and market analysis, costing, bookkeeping, general literacy and management skills. The research which has been conducted in this field has resulted in the production of a companion instruction manual, in workshop format, which will permit training and exercises in the above areas, and which is available from the Development Studies Unit. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: This Working Paper contains the results of a pilot investigation undertaken in 1986/87 in selected areas of the Keiskammahoek District of Ciskei. The pilot study was undertaken in order to compile a comprehensive plan for a long-term study of the Keiskammahoek District as a whole. Such a study would be designed to analyse socio-economic and political changes which have taken place in the District, measured against the results of a major multidisciplinary research project (The Keiskammahoek Rural Survey) which was undertaken in the area between 1948 and 1950. The existence of the Keiskammahoek Rural Survey affords a unique opportunity for comparative social science research, particularly because it is well known that substantial changes have taken place in the District. However, the precise nature and scale of the changes were unknown; hence, the decision to conduct a pilot survey first. The results of the pilot survey, published here, have turned out to be extremely valuable in formulating proposals for a subsequent on-going research undertaking; and have fully justified the time and money devoted to the exploratory investigation which constituted the basis of the pilot project. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

The taxonomic status and phylogenetic relationship of Pseudocrenilabrus Fowler (Teleostei, Cichilidae)

- Description: Various and disparate opinions have been expressed with regard to the phylogenetic affinities of Pseudocrenilabrus, a seemingly generalized and primitive haplochromine genus. These views are reconsidered and rejected. Instead, it is suggested that Pseudocrenilabrus is a derived and paedomorphic taxon evolved from a generalized haplochromine ancestor such as would be represented amongst extant African cichlids by a species of the genus Astatotilapia; for the moment it is not possible to identify a sister group more precisely. The suggestion that Pseudocrenilabrus is a paedomorphic taxon is based on certain Osteological and dental features, particularly the reductional trend manifest in the infraorbital bones of its three constituent species. A new diagnosis and synonomy are provided for the genus, together with notes on its anatomy, osteology and meristic features. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

- Description: This Working Paper investigates various population estimates for Rini to show the range of results which can arise by using different methods or different basic figures. These population estimates include those reflected in a report by the Centre for Social Development (January, 1989); the records of the Grahamstown Municipal Health Department, which records births, deaths and total population; and a recent report prepared by consulting engineers to the Rini Council (Ninham Shand, 1987). Apart from these estimates, other indicators such as the number of registered pensioners; the amount of water utilised in Rini; and the sewage output from Rini, are also considered as possible alternative or supplementary sources of information for assessing the total population. The main emphasis of this paper, though, is to investigate the methods used in, and the results derived from, a socio-economic survey carried out by the Grahamstown Joint Management Centre (JMC) in 1988 on instructions from the CPA and a firm of town planners. This survey determined the population to be 38 096. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: This Working Paper sets out to investigate what has generally been taken for granted as part and parcel of the urbanisation and development process in South Africa, and to relate this to current government strategies. There has been no comprehensive policy for coping with urbanisation in South Africa. In particular, the urbanisation of Africans has not been accepted as an inevitable process. Instead, past policies have been guided by apartheid ideology and have tended to address only specific issues relating to urbanisation. Essentially, policies have attempted to control the urbanisation process through various pieces of legislation directed at, for example, housing, population migration, industrial decentralisation etc. Such legislative measures, rather than presenting a coherent urbanisation policy, have provided the main tools for the South African state to control and direct the urbanisation process in the country as a whole. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)
