  • Community health clinical learning experiences of student nurses in
           Eswatini: A qualitative study

    • Authors: Sophy Mogatlogedi Moloko, Helen Ntomb'futhi Makhanya, Dayanithee Chetty
      Pages: 22177 - 22187
      Abstract: Learning experiences in the clinical environment are beneficial and essential but can be challenging, unpredictable, stressful, and  constantly changing. Understanding student nurses' clinical learning experiences during community nursing practice is essential in  advancing and supporting the student nurses' development, in terms of expertise and competencies. The experiences are also key in  providing improvement and changes in informing the current and future academic curricula and for better communication between  academic and clinical staff members as key role players. The aim of the study was to explore and describe community health clinical  learning experiences of student nurses in Eswatini. A qualitative exploratory, descriptive design was undertaken on eleven fourth-year  students enrolled for a degree in nursing in a university in Eswatini. The students were purposively selected to participate in the study.  Data were collected through individual face-to-face interviews using a semi-structured interview guide. Thematic analysis was used to  analyse the data. The research yielded the following themes: 1) Pleasant clinical learning experiences, 2) integration of theory and  practice, 3) Clinical teaching and learning support, and 4) opportunities for enhancing community nursing practice. The study concluded  that conduciveness of the clinical learning environment determines the competency of the nurses trained. Therefore, professional nurses  and lecturers should play their capacity development and support required to facilitate learning. Ensuring that the nursing  curriculum is relevant and applicable to the clinical context and integrating theory and practice is crucial for developing competent  community nurses.

  • The role of women in promoting cultural diversity and tolerance in South
           Africa communities: A theoretical discourse

    • Authors: Seemise Thato Hazel, Noge Kamogelo Macdonald, Maditsi Mothusiotsile Edwin
      Pages: 22188 - 22200
      Abstract: It has come to be a global issue that women are not recognized as people who can make a huge impact in terms of diversifying culture.  In various cultural systems, men are recognized as the superiors because of masculinity and super dominance whereas women are  excellent in aspects of bringing people together. Furthermore, the aspect of sense of belonging which is heritage is seen from an African  woman who uphold a good standard of living in an African perspective within the facets of African life skills education. This paper aims to  explore the recognition of women and their roles in promoting cultural diversity and tolerance through the application of Ubuntu  concept. African women work together to share knowledge, ideas, and experiences with which all are embedded in the oral histories that  they shared as a collective. This paper is a review paper which seeks to pinpoint how women have used their oral histories and  indigenous knowledge to ensure tolerance and embrace diversity within African communities. A qualitative document analysis (QDA) is  applied in this review paper to identified themes relevant to be explored to understand how the values, experiences and skills women  have shared orally have shaped African communities. The paper finds that across Africa, women’s contribution to the cultural diversity  and heritage is undervalued and they are mostly deprived from opportunities or chances to participate in its identification. Indigenous  women do not reject their culture, but they amend certain traditional practices to promote social justice. The paper concludes that  women have a right to engage in interpreting and identifying cultural diversity and tradition, and to decide which practices, traditions,  and values can be kept, reoriented, modified, or discarded.

  • A critical analysis of the Swati Reed Dance

    • Authors: Nontokozo Mdhluli, Lekau Eleazar Mphasha
      Pages: 22201 - 22208
      Abstract: This research focuses on a critical analysis of the reed dance. The study focusses on the reed dance that takes place in Swaziland by the  Swati nation. It is anticipated that the function of the reed dance will be discussed and examined. The relationship between dance, attire,  music, and human beings were demonstrated through music narratives. The major type of Swati reed dances identified, defined, matched, classified, and interpreted. The form of content of the music genre brings together the performer, the performance, and the  audience. The functionality of the music prose is further expected to survive and validate the culture, beliefs, and practices of the whole  tribe. This article argues that reed dance has always been used to enhance learning in many ways. Through dance, one generation can  transmit knowledge, attitude, lore and values to the next generation. In this way, understanding every community's roots is simple. Due  to proximity with other cultures, the Swati dance has evolved.

  • Navigating the change management process in Tvet colleges for e-learning
           adoption- An exploratory study

    • Authors: Sihle Hlatjwako, Tendai Makwara, Bhasela Yalezo, Nombulelo Magula
      Pages: 22209 - 22218
      Abstract: Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has forced higher education institutions in South Africa, particularly TVET colleges, to adopt e-learning technologies for educational delivery. However, the success of such initiatives largely depends on the willingness of users to  change their behaviour and thinking towards adopting digital requirements.
      Objective: This research aims to identify the challenges faced by TVET colleges in managing change towards e-learning and to determine  the best approach for change management in an e-learning environment.
      Methodology: This research adopts a grounded theory approach and uses semi-structured interviews to collect data from teachers,  students, and administrators in TVET colleges. Data analysis is done through thematic analysis and selective coding techniques.
      Results: The findings indicate that resistance to change is a significant challenge for TVET colleges adopting e-learning technologies. The  reasons for resistance are rooted in cultural beliefs, behavioural change, and a preference for traditional approaches to learning. The  research further finds that training and development are critical for improving digital literacy and gradually changing user attitudes  towards e-learning.
      Conclusion: The research concludes that TVET colleges should adopt a change management approach that prioritises training and  development for digital literacy. This will help to mitigate user resistance and ensure the successful adoption of e-learning technologies  for educational delivery. The findings of this research can guide TVET colleges and other higher education institutions in South Africa  towards effective change management for e-learning adoption.

  • Gender-based violence and women’s vulnerability as a shadow pandemic
           in Zimbabwe

    • Authors: Douglas Nyathi, Joram Ndlovu, Thando Makubaza
      Pages: 22219 - 22234
      Abstract: Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly during lockdown periods, there has been an astronomic leap in cases of  gender-based violence (GBV) globally. This escalation has been characterised as a “shadow pandemic” or a “second pandemic”.  Although erstwhile studies revealed a correlation between Violence against Women and times of crisis, little attention has been paid to  the Zimbabwean context, which showed a worrying increase in cases as well. Using a qualitative lens, this paper interrogates women’s  vulnerability to GBV under the COVID-19 lockdown in Hwange, Victoria Falls and Chipinge. Specifically, it explores the participants'  understanding of gender-based violence (GBV), records the elements that contribute to women's greater susceptibility to GBV during pandemics, and assesses the availability and effectiveness of the GBV referral system during lockdown. It guarantees that participants  comprehend the definition of GBV and its many manifestations. Anecdotes demonstrate that social media has a crucial impact on  women's comprehension of the notion. Participants agree that societal cultural norms and gender disparity are the primary factors  contributing to gender-based violence. The women's situation deteriorated during the lockdown due to limited mobility, poverty, and  inadequate communication. The study reveals that decreased social capital hindered women's ability to seek help from family members,  social networks, and other support systems. It is necessary to include gender-based violence (GBV) in emergency programs. Specifically,  there is an urgent need for countries to invest in sufficient information communication technology infrastructure, broad-based policies  and planning, social safety nets and healthcare support systems to manage the incidence of GBV against women in future pandemics.

  • A resource mobilisation study of how Facebook enables gender base violence
           in the online space in South Africa

    • Authors: K.E. Amaechi
      Pages: 22235 - 22248
      Abstract: The evolution of the internet and Social Media Platforms (SMPs) have made the online space an easy arena to perpetuate Gender-based  violence (GBV). With features such as anonymity, easy synchronisation of data, and easy access to information, SMPs provide  perpetrators of GBV, an available platform to attack people based on their gender and perceived power superiority. Yet, a detailed analysis of the nexus between SMPs and GBV in online spaces has hardly been given enough attention in recent South African gender- based violence literature. It attempts to address this research gap, specifically within the Facebook online space. Drawing on the  theoretical ideas of resource mobilisation theory, the study specifically identifies and appraises salient Facebook features within which  most acts of gender-based violence are carried out in a purposefully selected South African public institute. A qualitative approach, which  draws data from a combination of semi-structured one-on-one interviews of three (3) former Facebook employees, and three (3) self- identified Online Gender-Based Violence (OGBV) offenders on the official Facebook page of the public institution, forms the basic  research sample used to identify the features. These include comments, pop-up reals, timelines, and group creation options. These  features, inter alia, provide anonymity and pseudonymity, content amplification, synchronised users’ interests and easy network creation,  within which it is easier for actors to orchestrate and participate in GBV in the online space. Based on these findings, the study  recommends institutional formation of gender-sensitive policies and the development of more AI-based algorithms, which could promptly identify OGBV and meticulously regulate content sharing and other activities on Facebook and other SMPs.

  • An assessment of the challenges in the adoption of Agric-Tech In
           Kwazulu-Natal North Coast and Midlands

    • Authors: S.G. Mamba, A. Beharry-Ramraj
      Pages: 22249 - 22258
      Abstract: The use of agricultural technology (agric-tech) has been known to increase agricultural productivity but South Africa continues to face a  slow agric-tech adoption rate. To improve industry decisionmaking, it is critical to understand the challenges that affect farm managers'  decisions to adopt or reject agric-tech. Therefore, this study investigated the challenges that KwaZulu-Natal commercial farm managers  experience in the adoption of agric-tech. 26 farm managers in the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast and Midlands were sent an open-ended e- interview schedule as part of the study’s qualitative research technique. The NVivo software was used to organize and manage the data  gathered from these e-interviews. Using the literature review, the researcher used codes and themes to analyse the data. The findings of  this study identified that challenges that emerged from data analysis were the lack of agric-tech cognitive knowledge and the lack of  manually skilled farm workers with many years of experience in operating agric-tech, high cost of agric-tech and limited financial and  stakeholder support, scarcity of agric-tech maintenance services and spare parts as well as risk of displacing unskilled farm workers. The  study revealed why the agric-tech industry has been lagging but did not explore the potential solutions to the challenges faced by the  adopters of agric-tech. The stakeholders need to be aware of the opportunities that these challenges present in an attempt to meet the  demand for scarce skills in the country. This study then recommended that the government should offer training programs for farm  workers to operate agric-tech. The Information Technology divisions in institutions of higher learning should be considered to include  agricultural technology operating courses or modules to equip the younger generations with agric-tech knowledge and exposure.

  • The persistence of violent conflicts in the African continent: A discourse
           analysis of principal causes

    • Authors: Makhura B. Rapanyane, Gillian S. Mrubula-Ngwenya, Lebogang T. Legodi, Sethuthuthu L. Vuma
      Pages: 22259 - 22267
      Abstract: The current paper sought to identify the causes of the persistence of violent conflicts in the African continent and how all of this affects  democracy. The research question grappled with in the current paper is: What are the causes of the perpetuation of violent conflict in  Africa and how does this impact democracy' Beyond the use of an Afrocentric lens due to the limitations of the literature in discussing this subject from an Africa-centred lens, the paper has used secondary data materials to inform the objective of the paper. The paper has  revealed multiple causes including perpetual imperial influences, foreign socio-political doctrines and indoctrination, global arms and  suppliers and arms trafficking, and lack of effective leadership as the central pillars of violence in the African continent. It then became  important for the African continent to devise a common code of effective leadership, and effective measures of arms control, including  counter-foreign and defense policies in a matter that check the excess flow of international indoctrination and imperial influences on  Africa.

  • Implications of social media and money-induced voting behavior on
           governance crises in Nigeria

    • Authors: Samuel Chukwudi Agunyai, Kedibone Phago, Victor Ojakorotu
      Pages: 22268 - 22277
      Abstract: This paper investigates the influence of social media and money on voting behavior and its impact on governance crises. It argues that the effect of tampered voting behavior due to intra-party moneyinducement during election on governance crises in Nigeria has received very little attention. Indeed, general elections in Nigeria, have heavily been money-ladened, and money has effectively been used to  tamper voters’ behavior. Voters’ have changed their minds on who to vote for, just because money was given to them. Thus, how heavily  monetized voting behavior stimulate governance crises remain largely underrepresented in the literature. Drawing on qualitative  method, this article measured incessant governance crises in Nigeria from the prism of monetized voting behavior. The findings provide  adequate information on the dimension of money and social media politics in Nigeria’s primary elections. It also advances knowledge on  the link between governance crises and monetization of voters’ behavior. It concludes that the emergence of the current Nigerian  president, which is largely based on monetization of voters and abusive use of social media tools, is the leading cause of current crises in  governance in Nigeria.

           Eswatini kingdom: Implications for policy and development

    • Authors: Sabelo Thulani Khumalo, Choja Akpovire Oduaran, Victor Chidi Onyencho
      Pages: 22278 - 22286
      Abstract: Studies have shown that the impact of divorce on individuals involved is enormous but little attention has been given to how divorce  affects men. This study therefore explored divorced men's lived experiences and their coping mechanisms. This phenomenological study  used purposive sampling and snowballing techniques to select 12 divorced men from Eswatini Kingdom in Swaziland. Thematic data  analysis was used to analyse the data. The following themes were formed 1) Psychological and emotional stressors in divorce 2) effect of  divorce 3) coping mechanism and 4) personal analysis of the divorce process. In theme 1, public and religious views, emotional and  financial stressors were the sub-themes identified. In theme 2, health and wellness, and family dynamics such as children, extended  family, new spouse, and neighbours were affected. Adaptive and maladaptive coping mechanisms emerged as sub-themes for theme 3.  Perceived contributory factors to divorce are infidelity, sexual incompatibility, lack of respect, irreconcilable differences, and emotional  awareness such as the impact on self, and others emerged as sub-themes for theme 4. It is concluded that while some men bounce back  from the divorce experience and can deal with its negative effects, some find it difficult to return to their previous level of functioning. It  is recommended that government and relevant stakeholders should create/or strengthen the existing community-based networks like  “lisango” to promote psychological well-being. And formulate policies that promote, mental health awareness and referral, gender  equality, and upholding traditional values.

  • Women in development, food security and Islamic religion: Exploration of
           gender oppression in eastern Nigeria

    • Authors: Lere Amusan, Olalere Basheer Usamotu
      Pages: 22287 - 22295
      Abstract: In Africa, women are considered as agent of development and custodian of culture and sources of organic food. Their roles in the  countryside are invaluable when one examines their inputs in food availability, affordability, accessibility and quality against their male  counterpart. Also worth noting is the mobility of males to urban areas where they look for unavailable paid jobs. This paper examines the  roles of women in food security and how they lack basic resources to actualise their developmental roles in their communities due to  cultural and religious reasons. Access to land and collateral to secure financial help from banks is almost unavailable. To this, they  continue to practice farming at the subsistence level. We intend to examine what The Holy Quran says regarding women's rights in a changing world. In trying to examine this, the paper adopts green theory with some flavours of the feminist paradigm and secondary  sources of data. A conclusion is drawn that Islamic religion empowers women more than what African culture dictates.

  • ICT agenda for Municipal Governance purposes in post-pandemic South Africa

    • Authors: Lusanda Beauty Juta, Kazeem Oyedele Lamidi
      Pages: 22296 - 22303
      Abstract: ICT agenda has been a central theme in governance after the emergence of pandemic. Across the globe, the agenda have revealed the  dynamism of development depending on ecological, socio-cultural and economic values. However, little or no attention has been paid to  the framework for ICT agenda on governance at the municipal level in South Africa. This paper aimed at answering the basic questions: What are the reasons for integrating ICT agenda in municipal governance in South Africa' To what extent could the incorporation of ICT  be found efficient in the day-to-day running of municipal services' What are the concerted efforts by government in terms of policy  intervention on the municipal ICT agenda' It adopts secondary sources of data for collection and uses content analysis as the data analytical method. It reviewed the extant literature with a view to showcasing government activities in terms of policies and actions  towards incorporating ICT agenda in South African municipal governments. It also underlined the strengths and the weaknesses of ICT  agenda on municipal governance in South Africa. This paper therefore found out that the population expansions and ever-increasing  human activities constitute major reasons for the integrating ICT agenda in South African municipal administration. This paper concluded  that the ICT agenda on municipal governance have propensity to take its efficient recourse on the people and economy, if  adequate attention is being paid to its advanced usability at municipal levels.

  • A systematic review of Mobile Intelligence System adoption by Micro
           Entrepreneurs in South Africa

    • Authors: Bukohwo Michael Esiefarienrhe, Thusoyaone Joseph Moemi
      Pages: 22304 - 22322
      Abstract: To uncover the influencing factors that impact the adoption of MoIS by Micro entrepreneur and the
      challenges they face throughout the adoption process, an investigate into the micro-tasked embodied
      within the adoption process was conducted through the review of existing literatures on MOIS adoption.
      To achieve this, a qualitative research approach was used consisting of systematic review to scoop
      related literatures from diversified and robust database systems related to Micro entrepreneurs operating
      in different industries and particularly in South Africa. The paper selection process followed a
      multifaceted stage with the first stage having an overwhelmingly total of 1 439 papers from four
      prestigious databases, namely Science Direct, IEEE Xplore, Springer, ACM Digital Library using the
      North-West University Library portal. With further pruning using various inclusion and exclusion criteria,
      a total of 180 papers were selected for the review in the second stage. The third stage of selection sees
      the application of various logical operators to keywords and year of publication. The outcomes of the
      literature analysis reveal that the primary factors affecting the adoption of MoIS by Micro entrepreneur
      in South Africa are the high costs of MoIS devices and applications, insufficient skills and expertise,
      and the perceived complexity of the technology. Furthermore, the adoption process is plagued by
      resistance to change, limited resources, and a lack of support from stakeholders. Our study concludes
      that there is a need for further education and awareness about the benefits of MoIS and for the
      development of more affordable and user-friendly MoIS solutions for Micro entrepreneur business
      owners. These findings have significant implications for Micro entrepreneurs’ MoIS solution providers,
      and policymakers, and can contribute significantly to the literature on MoIS adoption by entrepreneur
      globally.

  • Interference mitigation for whitespaces networks

    • Authors: Elesa iNtuli, Fisseha iMekuria, Chunling Du
      Pages: 22323 - 22338
      Abstract: As the demand for spectrum increases and frequency bands become more congested especially in densely populated urban centres,  spectrum managers are following diverse approaches to sharing frequencies: using administrative methods including in band sharing,  licensing such as leasing and spectrum trading, and the unlicensed spectrum commons combined with the use of low power radios or  advanced radio technologies including ultra-wideband and multi-modal radios. When a band already licensed to an operator is shared  with others it is known as overlay spectrum sharing. For example, a spectrum band used for TV distribution in one geographical area  could be used for an application such as broadband wireless access in another area without any risk of interference, despite being  allocated on a national basis. Spectrum sharing is required when sufficient demand for spectrum exists, causing congestion, and the  technical means exist to permit different users to coincide; and other means for adjusting spectrum use and assignment have become  burdensome and costly undermining the goals of economic and technical efficiency. This paper investigates the interference mitigation  schemes that deal with the problem of coexistence between primary and reconfigurable radio networks, while avoiding cross network  interference to the primary licensed network and ensuring the expected quality of service in a network. To mitigate this interference, we  describe a simulation study of the cognitive femtocells using cognitive radio techniques. Simulation results shows that frequency bands  that are being shared by some users by maintaining geographic separation ensures strict adherence to operational constraints prevent  interference between services. Spectrum sharing typically involves more than one user sharing the same band of spectrum for different  applications or using different technologies. Dynamic spectrum access techniques enable broadband services in the TVWS spectrum  without interfering with existing broadcast and other incumbent services.

  • The effects of insurgencies on the women in Benue State, Nigeria

    • Authors: Ruth Oore-ofe Ogunnowo, Bamidele Olajide
      Pages: 22339 - 22350
      Abstract: The Fulani Herdsmen and farmers conflict in Benue state, Nigeria began over two decades ago. The conflict has in recent times escalated  to the invasion and forceful occupation of some parts of the state, leading to terrorism. The invasion and occupation of the land by armed  Fulani herdsmen which has gone on for so long unhindered, has destroyed homes and farmland, massacred indigenous people  and allowed for the molestation of women in the state. While many have fled from the land, others are either kept in the Internally  Displaced Persons’ (IDP) camps or resort to living under the threats of insecurity in the state. The objective of the study is to examine the  human security impacts of insurgencies as it concerns women in Benue state, Nigeria. Extant literatures such as books, journal articles, periodicals, and internet materials are employed. The study adopts the qualitative content analysis. Research shows that women's  indigenous activities, including agriculture and trade, have been disrupted, leaving them in despair and destitution. The Nigerian  government should implement effective security measures to reduce the nuisance.

  • Vocational education, poverty and inequality reduction in Post COVID
           Nigeria

    • Authors: Chinonso Ihuoma, Kelechi Johnmary Ani
      Pages: 22351 - 22359
      Abstract: Poverty and inequality reduction lies at the peak of the global development challenges and as a result, efforts are being put in place by  state and non-state actors to combat this phenomenon. Literature shows that Nigeria was among countries that showed tens of millions  more people living in absolute poverty in 2005 (headcount at 33million) than in 1981 (headcount at 88 million); and with a poverty ratio of  47.2% in 1981 and 62.4% in 2005. And as a result of the rise in poverty headcount, Nigeria had a toxic combination of low growth in  GDP per capita (0.7 percent per year), and a rise in consumption inequality. Likewise, Nigeria’s inequality rate has always been  disheartening, data reveals that it worsened between 2004 and 2013 but improved in 2016. In 2018, out of 178 countries studied by  United Nations Human Development Index, Nigeria occupies 156th position, placing her at the bottom of the HDI ranking for that year.  This paper therefore critically analyses poverty and inequality in Nigeria, taking into consideration the reasons for the constant rise in  Nigeria’s poverty and Inequality figures. The paper further outlines the benefits of Vocational Education in the development of societies. Finally, the paper recommends improvement in Technical and Vocational Education (TVE) system as it would help to combat poverty and  inequality in Nigeria.

  • Supportive organizational factors essential for managing aggression and
           violence at a Mental Health Institution in South Africa

    • Authors: Phillip de Beer, Andile Glodin Mokoena-de Beer
      Pages: 22360 - 22369
      Abstract: The study explored and described supportive organizational factors essential in managing aggression and violence in mental health  institutions in South Africa. Insights were obtained from the psychiatric nurses who had experienced aggression and violence while  providing care to mental health care users (MHCUs). Psychiatric nurses experience aggression and violence frequently in mental health  care. Thus, the management of aggression and violence in mental health clinical settings is a critical responsibility undertaken by  psychiatric nurses. However, they perceive their managers and leaders as distant in supporting them in managing such incidents. There  is currently a paucity of studies in South Africa that report on the supportive organizational factors essential in managing such incidents.  An exploratory-descriptive qualitative design with unstructured interviews was utilized to obtain insights about essential supportive  organizational factors from the perspectives of psychiatric nurses. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to obtain underlying  themes. One overarching theme emerged as supportive organizational factors with three subthemes: (1) availability and involvement of management and leadership; (2) provision of counselling services; (3) training and capacity development. The study revealed that  support from managers and leaders of mental health institutions is essential to manage the incidents. Further research is needed to  engage the managers and leaders of mental health institutions to obtain their views and perspectives about their role in providing  support to curb aggression and violence in mental health institutions.

  • Impact of teachers’ inappropriate intimacy with learners on the
           performance of High School Learners around Man’ombe Circuit, Mopani
           District, Limpopo Province

    • Authors: A.N. Maganu, N.F. Litshani
      Pages: 22370 - 22377
      Abstract: Inappropriate intimate relationships among teachers and learners in high schools are a matter of concern, in the education sector. This  matter has been around for years and has had an impact on the academic performance of the learners. The extent to which these  inappropriate intimate teacherlearner relationships impact the academic performance of learners has not been sufficiently investigated in the body of knowledge, particularly, its impact in Man’ombe Circuit. This research followed a qualitative research design, and the  target population of this study was teachers at schools in Man’ombe Circuit. The researcher utilized a purposive sampling technique and  the sample size comprised of 10 participants. The data were collected using face-to-face interviews and recordings using an audio recorder; the data were analysed using thematic content analysis and ATLAS ti. The findings showed that the impact of inappropriate  intimacy among learners and teachers is in the form of poor academic performance, shift in learners’ focus, emotional and psychological  disturbances, increase in contempt behaviour of the learners, and enhanced social anomalies. The findings also revealed that factors contributing to inappropriate, intimate relationships between teachers and high school learners are the students’ desire for better  grades, learners' background knowledge, exploitation, student’s need for financial support, and peer pressure. This study recommends  that the approaches that can be adopted towards addressing inappropriate, intimate relationships between teachers and high school learners are - policy education, increased awareness of abuse, stricter internal disciplinary measures and thorough investigation  processes.

  • The role of narratives, intellectuals, and the media in the construction
           of Zimbabwean Nationalism

    • Authors: D.Y. Mangani, T.J. Mudau
      Pages: 22378 - 22391
      Abstract: This qualitative study , which relied on document analysis, evaluates how African nationalism was constructed in the struggle for  Zimbabwe’s independence through narratives, intellectuals, and media motifs. African nationalism provided Africans with respite from  Rhodesian colonialism. Still, as many scholars from different intellectuals have argued, the divisive and often tragic modus operandi of  the Zimbabwe African Peoples Union (ZAPU) and the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) became consequential in producing the  exemplary and inherent instability in the concept and conceptualization of nationalism. What is more, despite the touted interpretation of  the African media as a public space to problematise the national question and also as venues for political legitimacy and authenticity, ZAPU and ZANU continued to use the media as avenues and extensions for their destructive political contestations. By the same token,  the study focuses on the response of critical African intellectuals to the development of nationalism. The study argues their failure to  disentangle internecine party politics. It argues that their conception of African nationalism was punctuated by political myths and  narratives that militated against a common approach to nationalism.

  • Non-professionals in the building and construction industry: Focus on
           Abakaliki women

    • Authors: Kelechi Johnmary Ani
      Pages: 22392 - 22398
      Abstract: Gender roles in Nigeria and Africa in general are largely strict, normative, and rigid. This is because certain occupations are seen as taboo  or culturally sensitive, especially for women to be employed in. This is more obtainable in the informal sector of the economy,  where there is no strong government supervision and control as well as professional bodies that regulates labour migration into such  areas. This study focuses on the role of non-professional women in the building industry. It used primary and secondary data that were  collected through purposive sampling to argue that Abakaliki women have become major actors in the building industry, where they  work as masons and servers; supplying most the necessary but primary manpower needed for construction of buildings in an expert  manner. The implication is that the money they make from such work are used to support domestic needs and build the societal  economy. The study recommends government and civil society scholarship training to the younger ladies in that sector, while the older  women should be given free and regular health checkups.

  • Managing the mainstreaming of girl children in secondary schooling: a case
           of Limpopo province, South Africa

    • Authors: Ngwako Solomon Modiba
      Pages: 22399 - 22408
      Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to probe ways and means of mainstreaming girl children in the South African schooling sector to promote  equity of both male and female genders. The paper is both conceptual and empirical and it is positioned within the qualitative case study  design. Interviewing technique and narrative enquiry was employed to generate data from the three fierce antagonists of female mainstreaming and the other three victims of the absence of female mainstreaming in the South African secondary schooling sector.  Research findings reveal that firstly, female mainstreaming can lessen patriarchy. Secondly, female mainstreaming could contribute  immensely to an equal society among the secondary school learners. Thirdly, female mainstreaming has the potential of contributing to a  just society among the secondary school learners. Fourthly, female mainstreaming could facilitate social inclusion among learners in  the secondary schooling sector. Fifthly, female mainstreaming lessens the marginalisation of girl children in a secondary schooling set- up. Lastly, female mainstreaming contributes to redressing historical travails which girl children face in secondary schooling  environment. The researcher recommends the establishment of the source of the absence of female mainstreaming in South African  secondary schooling, thirty years into democracy and independence. Furthermore, the researcher proposes the appropriate re- socialisation of antagonists of female mainstreaming in the secondary schooling arena. Lastly, the researcher recommends the  deployment of technology in arresting and eliminating resistance to female mainstreaming within the secondary schooling environment.

  • The effects of gender-based violence amongst youth at Manini village in
           the Vembe District of Limpopo Province, South Africa

    • Authors: Mukwevho Mueletshedzi, Tsoaledi Daniel Thobejane
      Pages: 22409 - 22422
      Abstract: Gender-based violence remains a significant problem that affects individuals, families, and communities globally. The scourge remains a  human rights violation which has a major social and developmental impact on its survivors. The focus of this paper is to investigate the  causes, consequences, and possible interventions of Gender Based Violence amongst youth in Manini village, who are bearing the brunt  of the pandemic of gender-based violence. This village is situated in the Vhembe district of Limpopo Province in South Africa. The paper  draws on theories of feminism to understand the root causes of this scourge which, in most cases, is perpetuated by men, on women.  This study adopted a qualitative research methodology for the collection and analysis of the data. Triangulation of the research methods was also employed to get a more holistic perspective on the research questions that probed the causal factor of gender-based violence.  Triangulation was also helpful for enhancing the credibility and validity of the results emanating from the interviews that were conducted  with the participants. A survey was conducted amongst youth in Manini village to gather quantitative data on the prevalence and types of Gender-Based Violence experienced by youth. Additionally, in-depth interviews and focus group discussions were conducted  with key stakeholders to explore the causes, consequences, and possible interventions of Gender-Based Violence among  youth in Manini village. The findings and recommendations of the study are that there must be awareness campaigns that target youth,  parents, and community members to promote non-violence and gender equality amongst the youth. Victims of gender-based violence  are also encouraged to take part in programmes that focus on building their self-esteem, resilience, and assertiveness skills so that they  can function well in their respective communities.

  • Influence of money script and substance abuse on gambling behavior among
           emerging adult in Lagos

    • Authors: Gbenusola Akinwale, Victor Ojakorotu, Maureen N. Nwoko
      Pages: 22423 - 22432
      Abstract: The study investigated the influence of money script and substance abuse on gambling behaviour among emerging adults. The general  aim of the study was to examine if money script and substance use influence Gambling Behaviour among emerging adults. The  participants used for the study were emerging adults around University of Lagos environment which includes Abule Oja, Onike, Akoka  and Pako. 253 participants were selected through convenient sampling method, they consisted of 157 males and 96 females. In carrying  out the research, three different scales were used which includes, Klontz Money Script Inventory -Revised(KMSI-R), Drug Abuse Scale  Test(DAST) and South Oaks Gambling Screen(SOGS). Social learning theory of gambling was adopted which postulate that gambling is a  form of behavior which is highly subjected to reinforcement and reward. The study found that 59.6 % of emerging adults around Unilag  environs engage in gambling activities which 79.6% are males and 20.4 % are females. Majority of the respondents who gambled  reported that they engaged in such activities because of money, this explains the reason why money worship script r(253) = .601, p=.001) had high positive correlation on gambling behavior and money avoiders script r(253)=-343, p=.001) had negative correlation on gambling  behavior. The study also reported that emerging adults who gamble are predisposed to the abuse of substances, r(253)=.7, p= .01. The  study thereby suggests that government should declare gambling illegal and there should be proper sanctioning on any form of   gambling and anyone who gambles should be arrested and punished.

  • Determining entrepreneurship education knowledge role in boosting
           innovation among students

    • Authors: Thabo Wonder Mtshali , Pfano Mashau
      Pages: 22433 - 22444
      Abstract: The South African unemployment rate currently is at 32.9%. The labour market is struggling to create opportunities and failing to  counteract unemployment with relevant skills. The covid-19 pandemic resulted in more people losing jobs which then contributed to the  increase in unemployment. The country should reduce poverty by developing innovative entrepreneurs at a tertiary level. These difficulties indicate that people are facing challenges to get decent jobs due to lack of skills. The article focuses on expanding  entrepreneurship education in South African universities to strengthen economy and create job opportunities in the country.  Entrepreneurship education plays a significant role in educating people about business development, reducing poverty while creating job  opportunities using innovation. The quantitative data was collected using questionnaires on postgraduate students, the findings  were analysed using SPSS latest version. The sample was made up of 368 postgraduate students, 4 academic staff from University of  KwaZulu-Natal, 346 postgraduate students and 4 academic staff from University of Zululand. The findings reveal that expanding  entrepreneurship education will stimulate entrepreneurial mindset and innovation on students. However, students argue that  universities does not have adequate infrastructure and resources to support innovation and entrepreneurship education. On the other  hand, academic staff believe that higher education must have an active role in introducing and promoting entrepreneurship education.

  • Metaphors on emotions, character traits and virtues in Tshivenda

    • Authors: Nthambeleni Charles Netshisaulu
      Pages: 22445 - 22454
      Abstract: Traditional scholars in Tshivenda take metaphor as a concept in which one entity is taken as the other in such a way that the two can  replace each other in any given context without any difference. For the past three decades, various scholars started to have an interest on  the concept due to the influence Conceptual Metaphor Theory initiated by Lakoff and Johnson (1980) and Lakoff (1987). Some  scholars such as Croft and Cruse (2004) contrast metaphor and metonymy as two figures of speech which somehow overlap or interact  with one another. It is in this discussion where they demonstrated that figurative language is used as a means of understanding  something better than in a literal way. The main aim of this paper is to demonstrate the elements or properties of metaphoric frames and  the cultural nature of conceptual metaphors in Tshivenda involving emotions, character traits and virtues. The nature of conceptual  metaphor in Tshivenda as cultural constructs and products is scrutinized through the analysis of basic frame mappings and entailments  of a range of metaphors with a noun denoting emotions, character traits and virtues as source domain and as target, respectively.

           herdsmen’s-farmers’ conflicts and victims’ fractured personalities:
           implications for community reintegration: A literature review of central
           Nigeria

    • Authors: Monday L.V. Shammah
      Pages: 22455 - 22470
      Abstract: The study reviewed the literature on climate change-exacerbated herdsmen’s migration with its attendant herdsmen’s-farmers’ Conflicts  and Victims’ fractured personalities: Implications for Community Reintegration: A Literature Review of Central Nigeria. The study focused  on the impact of climate change induced herdsmen’s migration with its consequent herdsmen’s-farmers’ conflicts and victims’ fractured  personalities. For data collection, we used searching tools, including: African Journals Online, PsycINFO, African Index Medicus, Eastern  Mediterranean Index Medicus, PubMed, and Web of Knowledge. The findings includes: first, herdsmen’s-farmers conflicts are more  prevalent in Central Nigeria, as well as maculation of areas in the Southern geopolitical zones of the country. We observed that, the  conflicts are further exacerbated by the frequency of the migration of herdsmen from far northern regions of Nigeria to the southern  parts of the country through Central Nigeria in search of pastures for their Cattles. The finding agrees with what Clement and Shelford  (1939) reported that, climatic conditions have the capacity to effects behavioral changes in interpersonal relationships. Second, the study  also finds possible corroboration between territorial protectionism and herdsmen’sfarmers’ conflicts. This is in line with Doherty and  Clayton (2011); Dougherty and Pfaltzgraff, (1996) who variously reported that, interaction between human vulnerability in situations of  conflict associated with environmental problems, including: climate change, drought, and erosion have significant causal links and  heightening contestant between groups. The study also find that, herdsmen’s-farmers’ conflicts involves destruction of human life and  properties, displacement of farmers from their ancestral homes into internal displaced people’s Camps, leading to fractured personality,  including: physical, mental, social, emotional and moral instability. As such, it is concluded that, North Central Nigeria is the most affected  region in terms of herdsmen’s-farmers’ conflicts.

           schooling: A case of South African Secondary Schools

    • Authors: Ngwako Solomon Modiba
      Pages: 22482 - 22496
      Abstract: This paper interrogates the relationship between the availability of the post Covid-19 pandemic and equitable schooling in secondary  schools. The paper resulted from diverse discourses, some of which emphasise that the prevalence of Post Covid-19 in the world, has  influenced gender disparity in schooling to the level of generating debates about equitable schooling for both genders. This paper is  conceptual and empirical in nature within the qualitative research paradigm. The question guiding this paper is: to what extent is Post  Covid-19 pandemic behind regarding schooling as a leveller for all genders' Narrative enquiry and interviewing techniques were  employed to collect data. Out of the population of 15 secondary schools in one of the circuits in Vhembe district in Limpopo Province,  South Africa, three were conveniently sampled. In each of the three sampled secondary schools, only Chairpersons of the School  Governing Bodies as well as Chairpersons of the Representative Council of Learners became research participants. Findings revealed that  only few people saw a connection between post Covid-19 pandemic and equalisation of schooling. Secondly, inclusive education  which caters for all genders is still a problem in many education systems. Thirdly, inability by schools to obviate discrimination of learners  on the basis of gender, is a problem. Fourthly, inability by secondary schools to embrace post Covid-19 pandemic to encourage equitable  schooling, is a problem. Fifthly, inability by schools to push back the frontiers of pre-Covid-19 gender disparity, is a problem. Lastly, failure  by schools to utilise the prevalence of post Covid-19 pandemic to keep pupils psychologically and developmentally ready for  equitable schooling is a problem. The researcher recommends for the eradication and total elimination of gender inequality to pave way  for the delivery of equitable schooling to all genders.

  • Social determinants of gender-based violence perpetrated by men in the
           North West Province, South Africa

    • Authors: Keoagile Abel Mmolokoe, Elizabeth Ivy Smit
      Pages: 22497 - 22508
      Abstract: Gender-based violence (GBV) is derived from a broad term to define violent behaviour or violent reaction by perpetrators towards their  victims. These victims are mostly women and in other instances female children. In this study women are victims. GBV is a global social ill  and perpetrators are found in all shapes and forms and all walks of life. In South Africa GBV has become a pandemic and where attention  is normally given to women, in this study the focus was on me as perpetrators. This was in the quest to understand what drives  men to react violently. Ten men and ten social workers were purposively selected as participants and recruited in the Ngaka  Modiri District. The research approach used was qualitative through the utilisation of the phenomenological design. The findings of the  study were that a few factors triggered the violent behaviour and aspects like anger, cheating, toxic masculinity, lack of self-esteem and  education, emotional and physical abuse, alcohol and drug abuse, insecurities which included meaning of romantic love and loss of  income which resulted in financial strain were identified. Through this, a programme was designed to help re-educate and skill men  through behaviour modification and other social work intervention mechanisms.

  • Mopane worms (Imbrasia belina) value chain: Experiences of rural women on
           the impact of climate change and environmental sustainability in Mangwe
           District

    • Authors: Joram Ndlovu, Douglas Nyathi, Xolani Moyo, Dumisani M. Ngwenya, Keith Phiri
      Pages: 22509 - 22521
      Abstract: Mopane worms provide a livelihood source for rural households in the Mangwe district. The study sought to explore the effects of a  changing climate across the Mopane worm value chain through an analysis of the experiences and perspectives of rural women. In  addition, the study aimed to investigate the correlation between climate change, Mopane worm availability and rural livelihoods. The  research study was conducted in three wards of Mangwe district, namely; Madabe, Tshitshi and Ngwanyana wards. It was envisaged that  identifying the vulnerabilities associated with climate change and the Mopane worm value chain would assist stakeholders in  implementing measures to enhance the resilience of the value chain. The research study employed a qualitative research design because  of its suitability to represent the perceptions of rural women who play a key role in the Mopane worm resource value chain. The majority  of rural women interviewed were unemployed and to them, Mopane worms were a source of livelihood in good years when Mopane  worms were available. The findings of the study revealed that local communities in the Mangwe district are observant that climate is  changing. Furthermore, the study established that there was a reduction in Mopane worms due to a recurring lack of rainfall, coupled  with high temperatures. These extreme conditions were militating against Mopane worm availability in the district's March/April and  December/January seasons. This subsequently affects Mopane worm-dependent livelihoods in the district as the decline in the Mopane worm population causes a reduction in nutrition and income for vulnerable households. As a result of the declining Mopane worm  population, women end up walking long distances to explore other Mopane worm sources which are usually far from their localities. In  light of these findings, the study suggests the need for a multi-sectoral approach to harness the Mopane worm as a commercial resource  by establishing and promoting sustainable market linkages that will improve profits for rural women. Climate change awareness must be  done in communities of Mangwe district to consciencentise people on the effects of climate change across the Mopane worm value chain  and the importance of sustainable harvesting of this forestry resource in the context of climate change vulnerabilities.

  • Comprehensive support model: home-based care workers rendering care to the
           community in Gauteng and Madibeng Sub-Districts, South Africa

    • Authors: Motswasele-Sikwane Lily Keneilwe
      Pages: 22522 - 22535
      Abstract: To achieve the study's objectives, a model for a comprehensive support model for HBCWs providing care to the community was  developed through five phases: caring, which is a central idea of Watson's (2017) theory of human caring; a poor positive work  environment; poor; support, poor supervision; and a lack of resources. The results showed that a lack of resources, a bad supportive  work environment, inadequate supervision, and a lack of care fundamental component of Watson's (2017) theory of human caring model  development, were present. An evaluation phase was also included. The six components of the practice theory, as described by  Dickoff, James, and Wiedenbach's (1968) survey list, which was mentioned by Maputle (2010), were used to categorise, and conceptualize  the detected concepts. Context, actor, recipient, dynamic, method, and terminus are some of these components. The joint assertions that  came after each of the six concepts was conceptualized were reached using a logical analysis and synthesis process. Six components  were used in the development of the comprehensive support model for HBCWs providing care to the community. These  components were agents, recipients, context, process, dynamics, and outcomes from practice-oriented theory, as described in Chinn and  Kramer's (1999; 2008; Walker and Avant, 2013). Experts in community health practice and model production assessed the model in  compliance with the methodology of Chinn and Kramer (2014, quoted in Aluko, 2016). It was discussed how the study's original  contribution to the corpus of knowledge was justified. Concerning the research that was given, operationalization requirements for the  model, and future research, limitations were noted, and recommendations were made.

  • Factors affecting the quality of work life of social workers in South
           Africa and the intervention roles of occupational social work

    • Authors: Daniel Tuelo Masilo
      Pages: 22536 - 22545
      Abstract: This paper reviews the factors that impact social workers' quality of work life in South Africa. The importance of the involvement of  occupational social workers in the workplace is that they address personal and work-related matters that affect the psychosocial  functioning of employees, which results in affecting the overall functioning of organizations. The chosen methodology for this paper is a  thematic literature review, while role theory has been adopted as the theoretical framework for the paper. The discussions within the  reviewed literature reveal that factors such as a lack of self-care, unsupportive supervisors, inadequate salaries, and a lack of  opportunities for knowledge development significantly impact social workers' quality of work life. If these issues are not addressed, there  is no doubt that the quality of social work services to clients will suffer. As a result, this paper concludes by outlining various  intervention roles that occupational social workers can play within the workplace.

  • When incivility is a mental health problem and when a mental health
           problem is incivility: Echoes from South Africa

    • Authors: Vink Hildeguard
      Pages: 22546 - 22555
      Abstract: The effects of incivility have been described as harmful. It negatively affects the lives of those involved, and concerns have been raised,  globally, regarding its effects on nursing education and patient care. Incivility generally seems to be often driven by more complex issues  such as personality traits, adjustment to work and studies, characteristics of developmental stages, lifestyle habits, cognition, physical, emotional, and mental health problems. The objectives of the study was to identify when incivility is a mental health problem and when a  mental health problem is incivility. As well as to describe the relationship between incivility and mental health problems from the  perspectives of South African professional nursing education. An exploratory descriptive qualitative design was employed in this study.  The study settings were a university-based nursing school and a nursing college collaborating with a university of technology. Nurse  educators (10) and students (15), were purposively sampled for data collection. Data were collected through semi-structured individual,  face-to-face interviews and saturation was reached at 23 participants. Participation in the study was voluntary and all discussions were  confidential. Incivility has been confirmed to be a moderate problem among academic staff and students, and even exists in clinical  settings in South Africa. Mostly emotions of anger and frustration, irritation, fear and anxiety, sadness, and hurt, as well as doubt and  inferiority were expressed and prolonged exposure to incivility can result in mental health problems. Students and nurse educators can  also present with mental illnesses that can be observed as problematic. Incivility holds devastating consequences for both perpetrators  and victims therefore, nurses in academics and clinical practice should have the ability to differentiate between incivility and mental  illnesses. Nurse practitioners, nurse educators, and nursing students need to be guided toward accessing emotional and psychological   support from the onset of experiencing incivility.

  • Self-awareness, identity and being in the world with others: Meaning of
           being an LGBTI nursing student in a nursing college in South Africa

    • Authors: Phonia N. Bopape, Thandisizwe R. Mavundla
      Pages: 22556 - 22569
      Abstract: LGBTI nursing students experience a plethora of challenges in higher education institutions like nursing colleges. In addition they have to  contend with growth and development changes. The main aim of this study was to interpret the meaning of being an LGBTI nursing  student at a nursing college in Gauteng, South Africa. An interpretive phenomenological inquiry was conducted among 11 undergraduate  diploma nursing students aged 21-35 years, recruited through snowballing at a nursing college in Gauteng. Indepth face  to face and telephonic individual interviews were conducted. Being LGBTI in this study was constructed from the participants’  understanding of themselves in a form of being different with a ‘unique’ childhood identity and experience. Findings revealed that LGBTI  nursing students have had to contend with stigma which was exacerbated by religious and cultural beliefs inherited from their families,  the nursing college and clinical facilities, despite the fact that they could not change their identity. In conclusion, LGBTI nursing did not  require special treatment but expected recognition, sensitivity towards their identity and sexual orientation, support and a safe space at  the college, in order to reach their full potential and thus attain academic success. It is recommended that gender and sexuality  awareness orientation should be promoted to ensure an inclusive and an LGBTI friendly environment in the nursing fraternity.

           acute ward of a Psychiatric Institution in Limpopo Province

    • Authors: Nkhensani F. Mabunda, Ronell Leech, Seugnette Rossouw
      Pages: 22570 - 22582
      Abstract: A therapeutic milieu is a scientific construction of a safe recovery environment to improve the psychological health of patients with  mental illness. This study aimed to explore and describe psychiatric nurses’ understanding of the therapeutic milieu in a male acute ward  of a psychiatric institution. The study context is a male acute ward of a psychiatric institution. A qualitative explorative and  descriptive design was used. Non-probability purposive, sampling was used to collect data in focus group interviews. Tesch’s technique  was employed to analyse data. Trustworthiness and ethical considerations were ensured. Three themes emerged from the results:  Nurses’ understanding of the therapeutic milieu; reconsidering the therapeutic milieu; and sustaining a therapeutic milieu. This study’s  findings call for redesigning the ward infrastructure to meet the requirements of the acute psychiatric units to improve the quality of  mental health care.

  • National Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) and Local Government Financial
           Freedom in Nigeria: A Critical Challenge

    • Authors: Chidi Richard Nwali, Jonathan Oshupeng Maseng, Olawale Yemisi, Chigozie Sebastine Onu
      Pages: 22583 - 22599
      Abstract: National Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) and Local Government Financial Freedom in Nigeria: A Critical Challenge is a study posed to  find out the critical challenge facing NFIU as part of the antigraft agencies in Nigeria championing the financial freedom of the Nigerian  local government system. Indeed, the financial freedom of local governments in Nigeria constitutes a serious issue of contention in our  contemporary democratic governance; such contentions have led to questions challenging Nigeria’s federalism that created three tiers  of Government being expected to be independent. However, the objective is to identify the critical challenge facing the National Financial  Intelligence Unit in pursuing local governments’ financial freedom in Nigeria. The study adopted the Power elite theory to unravel the  manipulative tendencies of the Nigerian political elites. Meanwhile, the study applied research design with both primary and secondary  sources of data collection. The study uncovered that the State Joint Local Government Account (SJLGA) is the major challenge for NFIU in  pursuing local government financial freedom in Nigeria. Finally, the study recommended the review of some relevant sections of the 1999  constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to enhance the NFIU pursuits of the financial freedom of the local government areas  in Nigeria; the amendment of some relevant sections of the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as to empower NFIU for  its set goals and objectives for the holistic development of the rural areas and her people and the Federal Government of Nigeria should  jettison the State Joint Local Government Account (SJLGA) in the Constitution using the force of lobbying to obtain success at all level to  enable NFIU succeed.

      Pages: 22600 - 22605
      Abstract: Names of rivers contribute a very important part of the language of that society. They are sometimes preserving words and elements no  longer current in that language. They comprise a major part of helping vocabulary on that society. Although the river names commonly  originate in a specific language, they are used by speakers of other languages as well and become part of the vocabulary of the receiving and adopting language, notwithstanding sometimes in a modified phonological orthographic system of that language. Rivers cannot  continue to meet society’s needs, or the needs of living things, if the society continue to regard the river management as a purely  political challenge. Flow of rivers is a part of greater flow, the planet’s cycle, which sustains not only the flow of water but the entire web  of life. River secures livelihoods, health and nutrition, good social relations, science, and education mental health and spiritual  satisfaction. This research aims at examining names of rivers in Nkomazi Municipality in Mpumalanga. This research study is guided by  onomastics approach. The discussion focuses on the meaning of names of rivers and their relationship with historical events.
