The Draft South African Loading Code SANS 10160 Basis for structural design and actions for buildings and industrial structures represents a substantial revision of the present Standard SABS 0160:1989 (Amended 1993). Proper substantiation of the changes and additions is therefore required. The Background Report captures the main sources of reference, assessments, decisions and motivations applied in the formulation of SANS 10160.

The background information should primarily be considered when SANS 10160 is evaluated for acceptance into design practice as a South African National Standard. It should also serve as the point of departure for the inevitable future revision and updating of SANS 10160. The Background Report is not intended to serve as a commentary on the future use of SANS 10160 in design practice. However, the information reported here should provide additional understanding as a complementary source in cases where critical consideration of design implications is required.

A high degree of harmonisation of SANS 10160 with Eurocode is achieved. Consistency between SANS 10160 and Eurocode is clearly presented and motivated in the Background Report.

JOHAN RETIEF AND PETER DUNAISKI (Editors) Stellenbosch University Institute of Structural Engineering

This book represents a considerable amount of work that has been done in the development of the new SANS 10160 code of practice, which replaces SABS 0160:1989. The contributions of the book are in several areas, including: (i) The process of code development; (ii) The new Eurocode and its background; (iii) Discussion and comparison of provisions from various international codes; (iv) The basis of structural design and reliability; (v) Reasons for the selection of parameter values and approaches selected for SANS 10160. The book will be useful both to engineers requiring specialist information, and to the developers of the next revision of SANS 101060.

The work done on SANS 10160 is among the first examples of the Eurocode being adapted for a country outside Europe, and is of interest to researchers in Europe, South Africa and other parts of the world.

PROF CHRIS ROTHDepartment of Civil Engineering, University of Pretoria

The book provides practising SA structural design engineers with the background to and justification for the changes proposed in the new SANS 10160 standard. The publication of SANS 10160 will be the culmination of a period of concerted effort by a SAICE working group to review various modern structural design standards around the world and having done so, the working group proposed a revision of SABS 0160 which will align the SA standard with the most suitable of these international standards.

CURRICULUM INQUIRY IN SOUTH AFRICAN HIGHER EDUCATION

At once evocative and suggestive, this exemplary book gives me hope that educators and scholars across the world will seize the opportunity to self-reflect and enlarge and enrich both their research and their practice in ways that will markedly contribute to the revitalisation of the higher learning in the twenty-first century. The urgency of the need for revitalisation of both research and practice in this domain of inquiry cannot be overstated.

Prof Clifton Conrad University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA

In looking at the construction of curriculum from a trans- and multidisciplinary perspective at the higher education level, this book initiates and supports the issues of curriculum design and purposes, especially in fields outside the discipline of educational studies.

Dr Eileen RaymondState University of New York at Potsdam, USA

A great strength of the book is its ability to face out from South Africa and deal with theories and issues to do with curriculum which affect all of us in higher education ... an interesting, engaging and vibrant book.

Prof Gina WiskerBrighton University, UK

Together the chapters contribute to a book that is quite broad in scope, whereas the individual chapters add a depth of analysis that is often lacking in higher education studies. The chapters are on the whole very rigorously researched, well written and offer many fascinating insights into both the concept of ‘curriculum’ but also of change in a contemporary higher education context.

SUN PRESS SERIES: RESEARCH INTO HIGHER EDUCATION

SUN PRESS

SUN MeDIA Stellenbosch introduce new seriesThe new SUN PReSS Series: Research into Higher Education was introduced by SUN MeDIA to coincide with the publication of Curriculum Inquiry in South African Higher Education, edited by Eli Bitzer and Nonnie Botha. This title will be launched on 30 November at the annual HELTASA conference in Port Elizabeth. Another SUN PReSS title, Higher Education Studies in South Africa, was also taken up in this series.

HIGHER EDUCATION IN SOUTH AFRICA

A scholarly look behind the scenes

3381457819209

ISBN 978-1-920338-14-5

A most stimulating collection of articles on the current state of South African higher education and of scholarly inquiry into key issues of higher education in South Africa, as well as in other parts of the world. There is a considerable richness of ideas, findings, reflections and analyses which should make the book very relevant to informing and inspiring much of the current debate about higher education in South Africa and about priorities in further research on higher education. The coverage of pertinent issues is broad and encompassing, if understandably not altogether complete; it ranges from questions of policy and epistemology to matters of curriculum, governance and professional development, and to frontiers and agendas for further research; one would have wished for more attention to issues of financing and of the relationship between universities and the state, especially as regards university autonomy. While the analyses are competently cognisant of the literature and scholarly debates in higher education internationally, they remain focused on the particular problems of South African higher education and its further development.

Hans N WeilerProfessor of Education and Political Science, Emeritus

Stanford University, USA

In my judgement, this book should be of considerable interest to higher education researchers outside of South Africa, as well as within, for the general and comparative assessments it makes. The South African higher education researchers included within its covers have clearly engaged with research and writing from many parts of the world, which they have then applied to make sense of their own condition.

Jannie du Toit gee die leser ’n kykie in sy koffer vol kiekies en knipsels van veertig jaar

in die musiekbedryf – as ’n randfiguur maar terselfdertyd as invloedryke rolspeler in

die ontwikkeling en bevordering van Afrikaanse musiek. Sy bydrae tot Afrikaans en die

Suid-Afrikaanse kultuur is onbetwisbaar. Daarvan getuig sy talle toekennings, waaronder

’n erepenning van die Suid-Afrikaanse Akademie vir Wetenskap en Kuns wat hy in 2008

ontvang het vir sy buitengewone kultuurbydrae tot Afrikaans.

In Onderweg vertel Jannie van die bronne en dryfkrag wat sy passie tot wasdom laat

kom het – sy studentedae as troebadoer en ‘rock’-musikant, tóé reeds ’n kampvegter

vir Afrikaans wat erkenning kry van die voorste kultuurmense van die tyd; sy besluit om

na voltooiing van sy leerklerkskap die Regte vaarwel toe te roep vir musiek; sy bydrae

tot die Musiek en Liriek-beweging van die laat sewentigerjare, en sy sewe jaar in diens

van Tukkies waar hy die eerste volwaardige Afrikaanse musiekblyspel saam met professor

Anna Neethling-Pohl geskryf het.

Sy verhaal getuig van die bevordering van medekunstenaars by wyse van liedjie-aande

by sy huis, ATKV-werkwinkels, TRUK se Kerslig Vers en Melodie-reeks en sy onafhanklike

musiek-katalogus, JNS MUSIEK.

Hy vertel van sy voorliefde vir kabaret as kunsvorm waardeur hy die behoefte om iets

sinvol van die verhoog af te sê tot uiting laat kom en die uitlewing van sy eie beginsels

en oortuigings artikuleer. Sy vertonings lei tot aktiewe skakeling met die Lae Lande

en die ontginning van die Nederlandse kleinkuns om winste vir Afrikaanse musiek te

probeer verseker.

Hy deel ’n veelbewoë kwarteeu met sy musiekvennoot, Christa Steyn, waarin hulle saam

optree en tot dusver vyf-en-twintig lande tydens musiektoere besoek het om onder

andere die Boere-diaspora se heimwee na Afrikaans aan te spreek.

Na vier dekades is hierdie immergroen sanger en liedjieskrywer se werk steeds relevant.

Onderweg, as outobiografiese kyk na Jannie se musiekloopbaan, vertel van ’n mens wat

nie ophou droom nie.

Paul Boekkooi se woorde oor hierdie publikasie:

“Jannie du Toit se Onderweg is ’n belangrike historiese gebeurtenis. Dit gebeur min

dat ’n sanger en skeppende kunstenaar in die uitvoerende kunste so ’n lang rekord

het, en dit verdien erkenning. As kunstenaar het Jannie ’n veelsydige veld gedien en

ook erkenning gegee aan ander kunstenaars soos Jacques Brel en Jules De Corte.”

Do I have a soul? What inspires me? Do I live soulfully in everything that I do?

Is healing, growth and change possible? Indeed. Although it is not easy to change or control one’s situation, it is possible to change the way you react to it. A change of personality is complex and difficult, but it is indeed possible to change your soul – you can change your position in a crisis.

When you want to fix a watch but you don’t understand how it works, there is a possibility that you will only break it further. It is like that with life as well. People break up their marriages, make family life unbearable, fold in a crisis, try to structure society with force and fall into despair. Why? They don’t understand the networking and challenges of life.

Souls bruise easily. We speak of a nervous breakdown – when everything weighs you down; when you feel like a failure, convinced that you are a victim and that the world owes you something. What is the alternative? With reactive depression, is medication the only option or is there something that you can do?

Network of the Human Soul will help you understand the following:

Who am I and what is meant by human dignity?How does love and intimacy work in marriage?What is meant by parenthood and how should parents lead their children to maturity?How can I use a crisis to grow?How can a society be developed in order to foster human dignity?How does spirituality work, and what is the connection with physical well-being?What is meant by healthy human sexuality and the aesthetics of sex?How do I deal with grief and loss within processes of bereavement and mourning?

The answers to the above questions offer you a better understanding of the intricate nature and functioning of the human soul and personal relationships, and enable you to find meaningful alternatives and solutions for crises and relationship problems, rather than merely looking for causes.

PROF DJ LOUW was Dean of the Faculty of Theology at Stellenbosch University, South Africa (2001-2005). He served as President of the International Academy for Practical Theology (IAPT 2003-2005). Currently, he is President of the International Council for Pastoral Care and Counselling (ICPCC 2011-2015). His field of study is practical theology, pastoral theology, pastoral care and counselling. He has written several books on marriage, family, hospital ministry, Christian spirituality, meaning and suffering.

Tweede STIAS-reeks boek bekendgestelDemocracy Under Stress (Van Beek & Wnuk-Lipinski) is op 16 Februarie deur SUN MeDIA Stellenbosch en die Stellenbosse Instituut vir Gevorderde Navorsing (STIAS) bekendgestel as die tweede boek in STIAS se reeks navorsingpublikasies. Die boek ondersoek die oorsake van die wêreldwye ekonomiese krisis, die impak op uiteenlopende ekonomiese en politieke stelsels, en vergelyk ontwikkelde en ontwikkelende lande sowel as demokrasieë en nie-demokrasieë – met besondere klem op China se nuwe plek in die wêreldorde.

This book focuses on the global financial crisis of 2008-2009 and its implications for democracy. Why and how did the crisis come about? Are there any instructive lessons to be drawn from comparisons with the Great Depression of the 1930s? What are the democratic response mechanisms to cope with serious crises? Do they work? Is China a new trend setter? Do values matter? Are global democratic rules a possibility? These are some of the key questions addressed in the volume.

This thoughtful and impressive study by a wide-ranging group of contributors helps us to understand why the contest between democratic and authoritarian capitalism is emerging as one of the critical issues of our time. – Richard Steyn, Financial Mail (South Africa)

What will be the next world order and when will it emerge? Addressing what are arguably the most important questions of our time this book offers the first provocative answers. – Jacek Zakowski, Polityka (Poland)

This timely book clearly shows that we have entered a period of demanding stress tests after the “global tsunami” that followed the “2008 financial earthquake”. It is a provocative reminder, warning us that the search for a new global order will be a tedious process. – Osman Ulagay, Milliyet (Turkey)

This book provides valuable insights into the causes of the current international financial crisis, and its impact on democracy. A series of insightful analytical chapters probe into the reasons for the financial collapse and who should be held responsible - with a view to understanding whether and how it could happen again. The reader of this book will emerge with a clearer sense of what went wrong with international finance, and what needs to be done. – Ronald F. Inglehart, University of Michigan and Higher School of Economics, Moscow and

St Petersburg.

ANDRÉ WESSELS

The Anglo-Boer War 1899-1902THE ANGLO-BOER WAR 1899-1902

The Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902 was ostensibly a white man’s war and a gentleman’s war; but in practice it was neither one nor the other,

and the consequences of this traumatic conflict cast a long shadow over the history of twentieth-century South Africa, and perhaps even beyond.

In this publication, André Wessels (Professor of History at the Univer sity of the Free State in Bloemfontein, South Africa) firstly supplies the reader with a concise review of the main events that took place in the course of the war, including all the most important military clashes of the four main phases. In the second part of the book, the role played by black people, brown (so-called “coloured”) people and people of Asian origin during the war – both in a combatant and non-combatant capacity – is discussed. Finally, in the third and last section of the book, the collateral damage caused by the Anglo-Boer War (and its traumatic legacy) is analysed, with special reference to the creation of the internment camps for white and black civilians (up to now usually referred to as concentration camps), and the consequences thereof for all the inhabitants of South Africa.

Based on many years of research with regard to the Anglo-Boer War (in this regard, see the comprehensive source list), this book is essential reading for anyone who would like to know more about the most devastating conflict that has thus far been waged between white people in Southern Africa, but a war that in due course also involved more and more black and brown – and to some extent Asian – people.

Specialists would surely benefit from this book and wish to have this work on their shelves. The clarity of detail in all sections will make it a most useful work to serious students, but the author’s main purpose is to reach a wider audience, to increase their knowledge and understanding without simplifying or avoiding the complexity of the historical questions.

- Dr Rodney Atwood (United Kingdom)

The value of this book, in my opinion, lies in the fact that the author has captured in a succinct but excellent manner, the involvement of all South Africans, directly or indirectly, in the Anglo-Boer War. Truth to tell, I have never read a better analysis than this of the traumatic consequences of the war for the whole South African population.

- Prof. O.J.O. Ferreira (South Africa)

“Bose geeste” word uitgedryf

UIT SPROKIESLAND Universiteit Stellenbosch se Drama departement bring vandeesweek die kinderproduksie “Skoonlief en die ondier” op die planke. Louis Pretorius se nuwe weergawe van dié klassieke sprokie is nog tot Saterdag 12 Mei by die H.B. Thom Teater te sien. Hier is die ondier (Eghard Basson) en Skoonlief (Minette Tollig) in aksie.

ADRIAAN STEYN

Die Bestuur van Universiteit Stellenbosch (US) het ken-nis geneem van ’n insident

wat onlangs by Dagbreek plaas-gevind het waartydens ’n student ’n psigotiese aanval beleef het, al-dus mnr. Martin Viljoen, US Senior Mediaskakelpraktisyn .

Informante, wat graag anoniem wil bly, het Die Matie oor die gebeure ingelig wat op 24 April in Dagbreek plaasgevind het. Volgens ’n anonieme bron, het ’n eerstejaar Dagbreker omstreeks 15:00 Dagbreek se prim, Pieter Nel, gaan sien nadat hy gehoor het dat hy moontlik sy beurs gaan ver-loor. Hy het dit ook glo duidelik ge-maak dat hy van kursus wil verander.

Teen ongeveer 17:00 het hy, volgens ’n bron, aangekondig dat hy op pad na sy meisie was. Ander Dag-brekers het snuf in die neus gekry, aangesien hulle geweet het dat hy nie ’n meisie het nie.

D a g b r e k e r s het hom toe kaal deur Dagbreek se binnehof sien loop. Hy was glo op pad om die koshuis te verlaat.

Talle Dagbrekers het probeer om hom te keer, maar dit was eers toe Dagbreek se Geestelike HK-lid hom in Tswana aanspreek dat hy gehoor gegee het.

Hy is toe, volgens ’n bron, na dié HK-lid se kamer geneem waar die HK-lid en ander Dagbrekers hom vir sowat twee tot drie ure probeer kalmeer het.

Daar is gesukkel om hom tot bedaring te bring en hy het glo op sy medestudente gevloek.

Viljoen bevestig dat hy gewelddadig opgetree het. Daar is, volgens die bronne, aanvanklik geen poging aangewend om professionele hulp te kry nie.

Volgens ’n bron het Dagbreek se Geestelike HK-lid ’n groep mense

bymekaar gekry wat in die kamer vir hom gebid het. Viljoen bevestig dat dit “klaarblyklik” ’n poging was om “bose geeste” [uit die eerstejaar] uit te dryf.

Hy is daarna na sy kamer teruggeneem . Daar het hy egter weer gewelddadig begin optree en het hy glo teen mure geslaan en ’n venster gebreek.

Die hulp van die USBD is toe eers ingeroep en ’n bron beweer dat dit so laat as 23:00 was.

Volgens Viljoen is die Sentrum vir Studentevoorligting (SSVO) se 24-Uur-Krisisdiens ook gekontak. Die eerstejaar is daarna gehospitali-seer en het ook die nodige mediese behandeling ontvang.

Volgens prof. Wynand van der Merwe, waarnemende Viserektor: Onderrig, is die student reeds uit die hospitaal ontslaan en is hy tans besig om by sy ouerhuis aan te sterk.

“Personeel van die universiteit is met hom en sy ouers in v e r b i n d i n g . Ons wens hom beterskap toe en vertrou dat hy binnekort sy studies sal kan hervat,” sê Van der Merwe.

Een van die persone wat met Die Matie gepraathet, het sy ontsteltenis uitgespreek oor die wyse waarop hierdie insident deur die HK-lid hanteer is. Hy verstaan nie waarom daar so lank gewag is voordat professionele hulp ingeroep is nie.

Oor die insident het Pieter Nel, Prim: Dagbreek, gesê: “Ons ondersoek van hierdie aangeleentheid is nog nie voltooi nie en kan ek derhalwe nie ’n mediaverklaring oor die betrokke voorval uitreik nie.”

Nel was nie bereid om enige feite te bevestig nie, behalwe dat die betrokke Dagbreker wel in die hospitaal was, ontslaan is en nou besig is om aan te sterk nie. Verder het hy gesê: “Vir ons is die eerste prioriteit die welsyn van ons koshuismaat en hoop en vertrou ons dat hy spoedig sal herstel.”

» Daar is [...] aanvanklik geen poging aangewend om professionele hulp te

‘The time has come for universities to take sides. They cannot just be playerson the field – they need to pick a side. And that side should be the public good.’Professor Russell Botman, Rector Stellenbosch University

Higher education contributes to the public good in many ways. This book argues fora transformational and reflexive approach that takes full account of the nature of theuniversity, its practices and programmes. The authors of this inspiring collectiondiscuss philosophical approaches and present empirical and practical ideas forteaching and learning at university for the public good.

Four major aspects of transforming universities are explored: the purpose and ethosof the university; its conception of graduate attributes; the way programmes andteaching are delivered; and the institution’s approach to academics and theirprofessional development. The book will be indispensable to all universities who areevaluating their own principles and practice.

New from SUN MeDIA MeTRO: Church Emerging from the cracks – a church IN, but not OF the world

“This book is a most valuable and urgently needed South African voice describing the paradigmatic changes in theology – and epistemology in general. It is a good example of a new generation of critical minds – an intellectual ‘Arab Spring’ that will help interdisciplinary dialogue and restore respect to theological and value-driven discernment processes – which is badly needed in our time and age.” – Prof HJ Hendriks, Faculty of Theology, Stellenbosch University

SUN MeDIA Stellenbosch produced two exceptional publications for the Department of Visual Arts, Stellenbosch University

ACTION RESEARCH – Learning Life Skills in KayamandiA group of third-year graphic design students and Kayamandi high school learners came together to uncover and discuss the particular skills needed to survive in the small township of Kayamandi. Visual documentation and eventually typographic layouts evolved out of the discussions between student-learner partners.

SEE KAYAMANDI SEE YOURSELFSocial Responsibility and Citizenship Project for Visual Communication Design StudentsA group of graphic design students and Kayamandi high school learners embarked on a project of mapping Kayamandi, a township in Stellenbosch. Student-learner partners were encouraged to explore various facets of social, personal, environmental, historical and cultural life in their documentation of the area. The process of collaboration between young people from radically different life-worlds, who (often) hold deeply-ingrained suspicions and preconceptions about each other, is manifested in the product of that interaction.

’n Keur uit Beyers Naudé se preke 1939-1997

Boekbekendstelling en viering by die Beyers Naudé-sentrum

Vreesloos Gehoorsaam: ŉ Keur uit Beyers Naudé se preke 1939-1997 (uitgegee deur SUN MeDIA Stellenbosch onder die SUN PReSS-drukkersnaam) is op 10 Mei deur die Beyers Naudé Sentrum vir Publieke Teologie bekendgestel by die sentrum se 10-jaar-viering en die 98ste herdenking van Beyers Naudé se geboorte. Vreesloos Gehoorsaam is die sesde ti tel in die Beyers Naudé Centre Series on Public Theology.

Die bundel, onder redaksie van Universiteit Stellenbosch (US) teoloë Len Hansen, Robert Vosloo en Murray Coetzee, bevat ŉ seleksie van 60 preke uit ŉ versameling van 1,550 preke, wat saam met 220 toesprake deur Naudé se vrou, Ilse, aan die argief van die Beyers Naudé-sentrum geskenk is. Die meeste hiervan is handgeskrewe. Volgens die redakteurs weerspieël die seleksie die omvang en ontwikkeling van Naudé se denke. By die geleentheid het o.a. Beyers Naudé se seun, Johann, aan hom hulde gebring.

Is jy bekommerd oor jou kind se eetgewoontes?

Wonder jy watter voedsame kos om vinnig te maak vir honger magies?

Soek jy gesonde, bekostigbare kosblik-idees?

Wat maak mens vir kinderpartytjies wat nie net ’n klomp suiker is nie?

As dit die geval is, moenie alleen voel nie! Hierdie boek is saamgestel om jou eerstens te help om die regte inkopies te doen. Die kruideniersware wat ons koop, bepaal uiteindelik

die voedingswaarde van die gesinsmaaltye, asook die versnaperings wat ons in die kleingoed se handjies sit om te eet.

Amper 100 maklike, kort reseppies wat tyd en koste bespaar, is in hierdie boekie saamgestel.

Meeste van die disse kan gevries word, wat kospakkies vergemaklik.Daar is resepte vir klein en groot kinders, van babas tot tieners.

Korrekte gaarmaakmetodes help om maksimum voedingswaarde te behou.

Anne-Marié Peyper, ’n ma van drie volwasse kinders, het vier jaar aan die Potchefstroomse Universiteit (tans die Noordwes-Universiteit) gestudeer. Sy is ’n voedsel- en dieetkenner met meer as 30 jaar ondervinding op hierdie gebied. Sy gee landwyd lesings en demonstrasies om veral die nuwe mammas te leer hoe om gesonde, organiese voedsel vinnig en maklik voor te berei. Anne-Marié se sprankelende en gemaklike styl van kosmaak, met hope kortpad-wenke, is baie in voeling met die behoeftes van die hedendaagse moderne ouer. Sy glo ook dat meeste toestande, soos ATHV (aandagtekort hiperaktiwiteit versteuring) en allergieë, deur die regte kossoorte grootliks by kinders voorkom en verbeter kan word. Mamma, wat kan ek in my mond sit? is haar tweede boek. Haar eerste boek is Garnering en Tafelversierings.

LARGE-CLASS PEDAGOGY

I highly recommend this edited collection. It is a timely intervention when universities around the world are facing changes akin to the newspaper industry a decade ago. The authors remind us of the potential power of the lecture and that there does not need to be a trade-off between the size of the class and the quality of the delivery ... Professor James Arvanitakis

2012 recipient of the Prime Minister’s Teaching and Learning Award

University of Western Sydney, Australia

This is the first book of its kind that considers the complex issues of large classes. As such, it makes a very important contribution and provides a deep insight into large-class pedagogy from a conceptual and practical perspective.

Dr Mandia MenitsMassey University, New Zealand

If the thought of teaching large classes fills you with dread; if you think that pedagogic innovation is impossible in the face of burgeoning student numbers; or if you simply wish to understand more about the dynamics of this increasingly common environment in higher education, then this is the book for you. Written by highly experienced academics, it is a valuable (and long overdue!) resource for supporting good practice in the large-class context. Dr Jenny Hadingham

University of Rochester, New York

This book faces up squarely to a hard reality that most do not want to talk about: the necessity of teaching large classes in contemporary cash-strapped universities, especially in developing world contexts. It does this with great conceptual clarity, mapping the territory for future research. Moreover, the work has a strong empirical grounding, providing ample demonstration of how high quality teaching is, in fact, possible in large-class settings, enabling the kind of student learning needed in the 21st century.

Conversations on human dignity,

theology and disability

Editors | Julie Claassens, Leslie Swartz & Len Hansen

This is a challenging book. It initiates some overdue debates about disability and Christianity in South Africa. Instead of editing out contributions with which they disagree or which do not easily fit into existing canons of writing on disability studies, the editors have produced

a volume which challenges one’s preconceptions and fondly-held beliefs. It is a fact that many people with disabilities (probably the majority in our context) are unlikely to ever in their lives engage directly with disability politics, but are likely to be profoundly affected by dominant religious views. For people with disabilities, many services, including schools, rehabilitation facilities and opportunities for social inclusion, are available only through religiously-aligned organisations. At the same time that religious groups offer much-needed services, disability is commonly viewed as punishment by God (or as a perverse ‘gift’ from God). People with disabilities have been viewed as objects of charity or pity, instead of as agents within our own lives, worthy of the same respect, rights and responsibilities. If we are serious about disability rights, we must be serious about robust engagement with the faith sector. This book, interspersed as it is with contradictions and differing opinions, constitutes an important start. Shuaib Chalklen UN Special Rapporteur on Disability

This publication fills a unique gap in the theological and religious engagement with the issue of human disability in South Africa. Combining the contributions of scholars, practitioners and people living with disabilities, it stands out for the way in which it promotes an interdisciplinary

debate on disability and human dignity from a theological point of departure and interest. The end result is a collective effort with a critical approach to the role of religion (and the Christian faith tradition in particular) in the social and life worlds of people living with disabilities. A forceful argument is thus constructed about ways in which religion and the Christian faith tradition should change their own discourses, practices and ideological presuppositions regarding the issue of human disability.CobuS van Wyngaard Department of Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology , University of South Africa

Community Engagement Plan and Strategy The CE plan is now in the final stages of its submission. The plan encompasses the philosophy of CE, Vision 2020, STEPS and its strategies. The compilation of the plan was a collective effort of members of the CE committee and faculties. Of value contained in the plan, is the articulation of the following:

CE facilitates to maintain and enhance the University’s standing as a significant contributor to the social and economic environment. It engages in the community via their partnerships in the following ways; intellectually, educationally, culturally and economically. The communities can be local, regional, national and international communities.

Database of CEDue to the revision of the plan, the CE database and template was also revised.

Consequently, the following categories of CE are evident; Integration of Research and CE; Integration of Teaching and Learning and CE, Integration of Teaching and Learning, Research and CE; CE and Innovation, and CE, TL, Research and Innovation. The emerging foci areas are;

Eradicating poverty and related conditionsPromoting human dignity and health Increasing social capacity Development EducationBalancing a sustainable environment with a competitive industry

The following activities illustrates the happenings at CUT in the past quarter.

Wheels of HopeThe Wheels of Hope focuses on the diagnostic and treatment aspects of heart and lung conditions as well as training and education programmes in central South Africa.

One of these aspects is rheumatic fever (RF), which is a delayed sequel to a throat infection caused by a group A-streptococcus. More than one third of affected children develop carditis, followed by progressive and permanent valvular lesions, known as rheumatic heart disease (RHD). Over a million people live with rheumatic valvular disease in sub-Saharan Africa. However, in central South Africa no information is available on prevalence rates, feasibility of mass programmes for its detection, or on the adequacy or effectiveness of present methods of secondary prophylaxis. It is suspected that several patients diagnosed as having RF or RHD are not under continuous medical care and are not receiving regular prophylactic treatment. Therefore, the aim of the project is to implement a surveillance programme to acquire information on the overall prevalence of RHD and to assess its load on healthcare services in central South Africa.

This project is sponsored by John Williams Motors in Bloemfontein, Rosepark Hospital and private contributions from our surgeons.
