Nickel sulphide mineralization associated with Archean komatiites

- Description: The distribution of Archean Nickel sulphide deposits reflects tectonic controls operating during the evolution of the granitoid greenstone terrains. Important deposits of komatiitic-affinity are concentrated within, and adjacent to, younger (∼2.7 Ga), rift-related greenstone belts (e.g. Canada, Western Australia and Zimababwe). Two important classes of Archean Nickel sulphide deposits exist, formerly known as "Dunitic" and "Peridotitic", these are now referred to as Group I and Group II deposits, based on their characteristic structure and composition. Mineralization varies from massive and matrix to disseminated, and is nearly always concentrated at the base of the host unit. Primary ores have a relatively simple mineralogy, dominated by pyrrhotite-pentlandite-pyrite, and to a lesser degree millerite. Metamorphic grades tend to range from prehnite-pumpellyite facies through to lower and upper amphibolite facies. Genesis of Group I and II deposits is explained by the eruption of komatiites into rift-phase greenstone belts, as channelized flows, which assimilated variable amounts of footwall rocks during emplacement. Sulphide saturation was dependent on the mode of emplacement and, the amount of sulphidic sediments that became assimilated prior to crystallization. This possibly accounts for variations in ore tenor. The Six Mile Deposit (SMD) in Western Australia, is an adcumulate body of the Group IIB-type, exhibiting disseminated mineralization. The ore has been "upgraded" due to hydration and serpentinization. A profound weathering sequence exists, which was subsequently utilized during initial exploration. Exploration techniques has been focused on Western Australia, as it is here that the most innovative ideas have emerged.

The term structure of interest rates and economic activity in South Africa

- Description: Many research papers have documented the positive relationship between the slope of the yield curve and future real economic activity in different countries and different time periods. One explanation of this link is based on monetary policy. The forecasting ability of the term spread on economic growth is based on the fact that interest rates reflect the expectations of investors about the future economic situation when deciding about their plans for consumption and investment. This thesis examined the predictive ability of the term structure of interest rates on economic activity, and the effects of different monetary policy regimes on the predictive ability of the term spread. The South African experience offers a unique opportunity to examine this issue, as the country has experienced numerous monetary policy frameworks since the 1970s. The study employed the Generalised Method Moments technique, since it is considered to be more efficient than Ordinary Least Squares. Results presented in this thesis established that the term structure successfully predicted real economic activity during the entire research period with the exception of the last sub-period (2000-2004) when using the multivariate model. In the periods of financial market liberalisation and interest rates deregulation the term structure was found to be a better predictor of economic activity in South Africa. These findings emphasise the importance of considering the prevailing economic environment in testing the term structure theory.

Indigenous cereal crops and food security issues in Zimbabwe: the case of Matabeleland Provinces
- Authors: Nyathi, Vuyiswa Sandra

- Type: Thesis , Doctoral , PhD (Developmental Studies)

- Description: The study endeavoured to find out how indigenous cereal crops in the form of sorghum, pearl millet and finger millet, popularly known as small grain, would help in increasing cereal production in the dry regions of Zimbabwe so as to alleviate food insecurity. For the past decade the nation’s cereal production has been on the decline with the country having to rely on grain imports from neighbouring countries to prevent hunger. Studies that have been carried out have indicated that these indigenous cereal crops are better suited for semi-arid regions like Matabeleland, used as a case study, where maize has almost always been a failing crop. The study examined representations of smallholder farmers through interviews held with agricultural personnel in Matabeleland North and Matabeleland South Provinces. The study argues that instead of relying on maize only as a staple crop, in the semiarid regions of the country, indigenous cereal crops are suitable alternative staple crops in Zimbabwe. Indications from the findings of the study are that diversification of staple crop production should stress the importance of state mediation, distribution and promotion of indigenous cereal crops. The researcher thus proposes that the reliance on indigenous crops be anchored in community food security, food sovereignty and rural food system perspectives, not negating the negative effects of climate change on food production. The results showed that despite progress made by the state in assisting farmers with agricultural inputs, very little has been achieved in alleviating food insecurity in the dry regions, as indigenous cereal crops continue being pushed to the periphery of the agricultural sector. iii The study concludes by putting forward that addressing the stated challenges could lead to the potential of indigenous cerealcrops potentially increasing the cereal supply for the nation, thus alleviating food security woes as these crops grow favourably even in the most adverse weather conditions and poor topography.

Taking gendered harms seriously : the utility of rape trauma syndrome evidence in dispelling rape myths in criminal trials

- Description: Rape is a violent crime marked by underreporting and low conviction rates. Notwithstanding the fact that most rape laws have been made to be gender-neutral, the statistics of rape are still devastatingly high even on a global scale. The majority of the victims are still predominantly females especially in the context of acquaintance rape. It is an uncontestable fact that rape usually occurs in secret making it possible for one to falsely accuse another and effectively rendering it difficult to refute. In light of this, victims who have managed to reach the courts have come face to face with a myriad of stereotypical beliefs and rape myths about rape victims. These have dealt a blow to their cases once their credibility is doubted because they may have exhibited behaviour that does not match with the classic or real rape victim as expected by the society. However rape is an egregiously unique crime that presents with serious psychological issues for the victim. As such it is possible for a rape victim to exhibit counterintuitive behaviour that can only be sensibly explained by an expert who has delved in human behavioural sciences. The alleged victim will be questioned on things like lengthy delay in reporting, returning to the scene of the crime, asking for taxi money the morning after the rape or even failing to scream and fight off the alleged assailant. Unfortunately, the psychological effects of rape have more often than not been overlooked in our criminal justice system giving way for blame shifting in that the female victim is called upon to account for why the rape may have happened to her. These psychological reactions, responses and counterintuitive behaviour have been characterized as Rape Trauma Syndrome by specialists in psychology and psychiatry. In the context of this study, Rape Trauma Syndrome is a form of expert opinion evidence which is relevant, helpful and necessary because it can dispel rape myths and stereotypical beliefs about rape victims by educating the courts about the psychological reactions of rape victims. Against this backdrop, this research project investigates the utility of Rape Trauma Syndrome evidence in dispelling rape myths in rape trials, focusing especially on the admissibility and use of that syndrome as evidence in other jurisdictions at the level of comparative analysis in order to establish whether it can be utilised in the South African context.
