▼ Abstract provided by author; The main objective of this dissertation was to investigate issues of cross-border migration and their effects on the project of SADC regional integration. The principal theoretical grounding comes from theories on migration, inclusive of their gender perspectives. Inclusive in this framework were perspectives of regionalism and its subsets of regionalisation, regional cooperation, regional integration and regional awareness/identity. The dissertation also examined competing theoretical approaches to regional integration, among these, federalism, functionalism, neo-functionalism and inter-governmentalism, to determine a model to achieving a political community at the end of the SADC integration process; Based on these theories the study investigated the extent to which the grassroots communities were involved in the SADC regionalisation process. Indicators, in this regard, were the SADC Protocol for the Free Movement of Persons of 1995 and its successor, the SADC Protocol for the Facilitation of Free Movement of Persons of 1997, which all failed. The dissertation traced the background of regional integration at the global, continental and regional level and compared scenarios especially on cross-border migration issues; A qualitative research design in the form of a case study of Oshikango informed the collection of the data. The data were gathered about the distribution of variables such as the grassroots community's understanding and attitudes towards implications of cross border migration as measured against the SADC project of regional integration. Other important variables that were illuminated by the investigation techniques are gender, age and education level of respondents; Informed by this investigation and based on the Oshikango case study this dissertation has arrived at the conclusion that SADC is currently unable to achieve its goal of regulating free movement of persons in the region. The problem seems to be that since SADC is a state-based regime, member states take their refuge in the doctrine of state sovereignty, often at the expense of the common regional agenda. In other words they talk regionalism, but they act nationally. Consequently, SADC is an example of shallow integration with limited involvement of civil society and local communities. Thus, cross-border migration control in the region is an issue that will have to be resolved. Informed by these conclusions, this dissertation leads to recommendations for the acceleration of trans-frontier spatial development, such as parks and development corridors. The SADC Forum for Traditional Authorities should also be established to further deepen trans-border interaction and facilitate intra-regional migration management.

▼ Since the identification of the first human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) case, developments have been underway to find treatment for the virus. Antiretroviral agents, especially when used in highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) regimens, have produced dramatic decreases in morbidity and mortality of HIV infected people and has made HIV a potentially treatable chronic disease. The success of HAART depends on the correct combination of drugs and on adherence to treatment regime. In April 2003, the Ministry of Health and Social Services published the first antiretroviral treatment guidelines which form the basis of HIV management in Namibia. However the actual availability of these guidelines and their application in the private sector was not known; This study was conducted to determine the availability of Namibia Guidelines for AntiretroviralTreatment in the private sector and to assess the proportion of private health care providers who comply with the guidelines; A survey to determine the practices of doctors and pharmacies providing ART services in the private sector in Windhoek, Namibia, was conducted, using the Ministry of Health Guidelines for Antiretroviral Therapy, a standard against which the private sector practices were measured; The results of the study showed a general awareness (96 for doctors and 81 for pharmacists) and availability (92 for doctors and 50 for pharmacists) of MoHSS guidelines. The overall proportion of private healthcare providers who adhere to guidelines is small although some aspects of the guidelines such as when to start therapy (61), what to start with (96), when to change (100) and what therapy to use (73) are well adhered to by doctors. The majority of the pharmacists (58) do not dispense in accordance with the guideline recommendations; This study has uncovered a wide diversity of practice in the different aspects of HIV management and significant deviations from the Namibia guidelines for antiretroviral therapy, first edition Advisors/Committee Members: (advisor).

▼ This study was an investigation of the perceptions of Grade 10 English Second Language teachers about the effects of Code Switching in their classrooms in the Caprivi Education Region of Namibia. A purposeful sample of twelve ESL teachers from twelve schools, four teachers from urban, four teachers from semi-urban and four teachers from rural schools were used. An observation checklist and a questionnaire were used to collect data from the respondents. Both instruments were piloted before being administered. Some of the findings that emerged from this study were that the respondents showed a lack of knowledge about theories relating to language teaching and learning. In addition, the non-availability of guiding framework or policies on the use of Code Switching in schools created uncertainty among teachers. Generally Code Switching was seen by the respondents as having good effects on learning and teaching in all subjects. It was also indicated that the Language Policy did not empower teachers to use language as the situation dictated, but rather the Language Policy dictated to teachers to subscribe to its directives. This could be one of the reasons why teachers used English in the presence of a ministerial official but as soon as s/he left the classroom they reverted to using mother tongue. From the findings of this study, it is recommended that teachers should be exposed to eclectic approaches of teaching. They should have a range of approaches from which to choose depending on the situation in which they find themselves. This would broaden teachers’ scope unlike the current situation where they are only exposed to one teaching technique. It is further recommended that the Namibian Language Policy be revised to accommodate the current language situation (that of teaching only in English even when learners do not understand) in the country. Due to the identified shortcomings in the Namibian Language Policy, the matrix-embedded model is proposed as an alternative to the English as the only medium of instruction in classrooms. Language classrooms should become learning environments where learners actively participate and grasp the knowledge that they are taught in a language they are comfortable with.

▼ Abstract provided by author; This study assumes, rather than debates, that there is an increasingly global environmental crisis - global warming, loss of ozone layer, biodiversity loss, deforestation and desertification, natural resource depletion, toxic pollution - brought about by western nations' abuse of the natural environment during nineteenth century industrialization, continuing through the twentieth century, and, many would argue, into the new millennium as well; Greens have been warning of the dangers of human-induced climate change since the 1960s. And yet,their analysis of the reasons for the wide and global range of ecological problems currently being experienced, of which climate change is only one, is not widely known. And even less so, are their solutions to the ecological crisis; This thesis, "Towards the development of a "green" worldview, and criteria to assess the"green-ness" of a text: Namibia Vision 2030 as example", poses two research questions, and undertakes three tasks. The first question asks: "What does 'seeing green' as worldview mean?"Green" emerges as not only pro-environmental attitudes and behaviours, but a fundamental challenge to western-cultural views on Self, and on the Self/Other relationship, including our human-nature relationship. It represents a total worldview, with its own legitimating narratives, epistemology, ontology, ethics, and viewpoints on real-world political issues as well. The green worldview differs sharply in its ultimate premises from mainstream sustainable development. On the green view, only the radical changes in Self, the Self/Other relationship, and society's structures, which a green worldview demands, will be sufficient to avert the impending ecological crisis; A green worldview, while containing considerable diversity, is still sufficiently coherent and consistent that it can be reduced to a set of criteria and indicators for "seeing green". This was the study's second task; The study's third task co-incides with its second research question: "How green is Namibia Vision 2030s worldview?" Namibia Vision 2030 is Namibia's premier policy text designed to guide Namibia through a generation of sustainable development. Using the green criteria and indicators developed during the study, it is argued that particularly as far as this text's ultimate premises on the human/nature relationship are concerned, its worldview is best described as pale green fading into grey.

▼ Abstract provided by author; In the area of international trade, studies have examined whether increases in exchange-rate volatility affect the trade flows of Less Developed Countries LDCs. The aim of this study is to investigate empirically the impact of exchange-rate volatility on the export flows of Namibia as one of the developing countries over the period 1998 - 2008. These are achieved by means of utilizing quarterly data of exchange rate and the trade flow of real exports of Namibia for the period 1998 - 2008; During the stipulated time period, Namibia had experienced tremendous volatility in its exchange rate. Therefore, an assessment of the economic performance of the Namibian exports over the period 1998 - 2008 had been used to conclude that the price of the Namibian dollar (N) is important to its future economic performances; The econometric analysis was employed to exploit the theory of cointegration, given the obvious non-stationarity of the time series. The study used Engle-Granger two step procedures. Three measures of exchange rate volatilities were used and produced mixed results. The mean adjusted relative change (V) as a measure of exchange rate volatility indicated positive and insignificant impact on real exports of Namibia. The moving average standard deviation (MASD) as a measure of exchange rate volatility produced a negative insignificant impact of exchange rate volatility on real exports of Namibia. The last measure of exchange rate volatility was the general autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH), which indicated a positive and significant impact of exchange rate volatility on Namibia's real exports. These results suggest that Namibia should start exploring possibility of macro-economic policy independence and be involved in the determination of exchange rate within the CMA framework.; In the area of international trade, studies have examined whether increases in exchange-rate volatility affect the trade flows of Less Developed Countries LDCs.

▼ Abstract provided by author; Energy (electricity) is the backbone of an economy. However, Namibia is facing a serious deficit as far as energy generation is concerned. Globally, electricity is generated from different sources, essentially to make up for the shortage of resources which is in short supply like dams for hydro power and reactors for nuclear power. Being a developing country, Namibia is not in a financial position to have an independent electricity generation capacity to meet his demand; The Khomas Region, being the industrial hub of Namibia is not excluded from the energy deficit. With a growing economy and rural-urban immigration of 600-1000 people according to a 2005 estimate, the demand for power is soaring. Conscious of the regional energy situation and multi-lateral cooperation on energy sharing as well as future plans for energy generation, the Khomas Region does not have any plans to achieve energy self-sufficiency. All power is centralized with NAMPOWER as the sole energy provider. NAMPOWER in turn receives a large portion of its power from the Electricity Supply Commission (ESKOM), South Africa. ESKOM, like NAMPOWER experiences a shortfall of power to satisfy domestic demand and cannot assure the pre-2006 guaranteed power supply hence leaving Namibia with no other option than to enter into regional agreements for power supply; It is necessary for the Khomas Region to embark on the development of renewable energies which have an initial high capital or development costs but hold long term prospects. Worldwide there is a move away from carbon-based energy resources towards other environmental friendly sources of energy such as nuclear and wind energy; This study started with a cluster sample through which a blanket 46 respondents were asked to complete questionnaires while the study aimed at obtaining information from the perspective of the participants in the research. The study found that the Government of Namibia has embarked on the reform of the electricity sector, initiated an extensive rural electrification programme and attempted to get electrical appliances closer to the people by spreading energy shops throughout the country. The research showed that the Khomas Region has adopted a rather passive posture in the development of its energy self sufficiency. This could be attributed to the total monopoly of NAMPOWER and the lack of regulations or their enactment in respect of regions to develop their power infrastructure; The study recommends that in addition to the present efforts of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Institute (REEEI), Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME), and Barrier Removal to Namibian Renewable Energy Programme (NAMREP), the Khomas Regional Council should provide direct and indirect subsidy, both to entrepreneurs and consumers. The Region should furthermore consider utilization of an energy mix and encourage private entrepreneurs to invest in the development of renewable energies. Advisors/Committee Members: (advisor).

▼ Abstract provided by author; Namibia which forms part of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) group of former European colonies, is traditionally enjoying preferential trade market access to the European Union (EU). This means goods from Namibia are facing lower tariffs and non- tariff barriers when entering the European market. This trade regime between the EU and Namibia was enshrined in successive agreements. As a result of the outcome of legal and other challenges - at the level of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), the latest one, the Cotonou Partnership Agreement (CPA) There will be a fundamental shift in this trade relationship. This will provide Economic Partnership Agreement (EPAs) which will usher in reciprocity in trade between two parties. The EU has initialled the Interim Economic Partnership Agreements (IEPA) covering trade in goods with some members of SADC (Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland and Mozambique) and is currently negotiating full EPAs which will cover trade in services. Therefore, Namibia decided not to sign the IEPA due to the inability of the negotiating partner (EU) to address the concerns it had raised upon initialling the IEPA text; As the new agreement is currently in its negotiation phase, no results in terms of the development process can be measured yet. The research question and sub-questions will therefore be answered by analysing different aspects influencing the relationship which will mainly be done within an intensive qualitative literature study and the application of the international trade theory (dependency theory). The main presumption of the theory will be connected to the main findings of the literature study; Depending on the ideological point of view, EPAs can be seen as a negative ploy by the dominant capitalistic countries, here the EU. In order to analyse the EPAs, this study will reflect arguments favouring the theory. The main research questions of the thesis are: Will EPAs help integrate Namibia into the global economy; and will Namibia have a sustainable economy that reduces poverty among its people? The theory was applied in this study, which concluded that the EPAs can be regarded as a negative development initiative for Namibia. From a developmental perspective, it is not clear yet, whether the method adopted by this study will prove to be correct; but the disappointing results of the Lomé Convention and the short lifetime implementation of the Cotonou agreement had proven that the EU promoted a model of economic liberalisation to secure for itself continued market access across the African continent.

▼ Abstract provided by author; This research study assesses whether a lack of marketing and promotion causes a decrease in the usage of electronic resources or whether there are other prevailing factors that prevent users from using the libraries' electronic resources. The research tried to find out what marketing and promotional techniques are employed and how the electronic resources are organised in the selected libraries; The study covered the Khomas region in Windhoek, Namibia. The principal method used to collect data for the study was a user survey. A population of 50 participants was selected however only 45 took part in the survey. 37 were government officials, 5 librarians and 3 resourceful persons/experts in different library sectors, giving a 90 response rate, which indicates a very positive response from the participants. Data on the use of electronic resources was gathered through the means of administering user survey questionnaires and conducting interviews with the experts and the ministerial librarians; Results indicated that a significant number of employees are cognisant of the fact that electronic resources exist in their libraries however they do not use those provided by their libraries for example CD-ROM, Full-text and bibliographic databases. It is noted that researchers are the main users of the libraries and senior management and management staff form the smallest group of people who use library services. Most users prefer using electronic resources as they considered them easier to access and search than print resource based; however, the majority of people who visit the library still make use of print resources because of bandwidth issues of the internet, preference to read and edit printed text and problems of access. All libraries engage in minimal promotional activities and marketing of library services. It was however noted that the majority of people are not aware of the promotional campaigns carried out by the libraries. Users find it easy to use library electronic resources, but none of the libraries provide ICT skill training, carry out library instruction to users or offer in depended online searching to OPAC. Budget constraints, slow internet speed and lack of adequate skills are factors that hinder librarians from providing electronic resources to government employees; The study concludes that Namibian Government ministerial libraries need to better publicise their services in order to reverse the declines in the usage of electronic resources by staff members. Further training for staff in ICT and information literacy and retrieval is needed Advisors/Committee Members: (advisor).

▼ The purpose of this study was to establish the nature of petty crimes that are committed within the City of Windhoek. The study further aimed at establishing the social characteristics of those who are committing such crimes as well as identifying possible hot spots where these crimes are likely to take place. This was achieved through consulting and analysing police records and criminals. profiles, interviewing the victims of petty crimes and persons arrested by the police and charged with petty crimes. The study also included those suspect that where brought to the police stations after they were found attempting to commit these crimes. The interview was to establish the nature of the crime they have been accused of and the spots where they are said to have committed or attempted to commit such crimes; The study harnessed both qualitative and quantitative research approaches. The former consisted of a systematic analysis of relevant primary and secondary sources. The latter offered a statistical analysis of crime culled from primary sources such as police Occurrence Books, and Crime Records. The study was exploratory and descriptive in nature; The study found that theft out of motor vehicles, theft from persons, house breakings and theft, bag and cellular telephone snatchings, and shopliftings are the common crimes in the City of Windhoek. It was established that petty crimes in the City of Windhoek are not static and that certain areas in the city are more frequented by petty crimes than others; The study further identifies the social characteristics of the suspects of petty crimes to be mostly young and unemployed youths. The study thus concludes that the current crime prevention measures in the City are not effective enough and recommends innovations to improve on their effectiveness.No previous study was done in this area; the benefit of the study is therefore that, it uncovered new methods and strategies of crime prevention. These methods and strategies may help to create an environment where residents of Windhoek will feel safe and secured. As such the City of Windhoek may attract significant local and foreign investors and a growing number of tourists. Advisors/Committee Members: (advisor).

▼ The main thesis of this study is that access to education, important as it is in terms of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), is not enough. Education that is not of an acceptable quality may not serve the purpose or the intent of the MDGs, nor of the Education for All movement. The study aims to examine the Namibian education policies related to education equity and quality for nomadic pastoralist people living in the Kunene region where socio-economic and cultural factors mitigate the provision of education. The study takes a broad view in an effort to explore the phenomenon of education provision to nomadic people and its actual outcomes beyond the classroom perspective and beyond the limits of its expected results. The data were collected over a period of five weeks. In this regard, a qualitative research design with critically quasi-ethnographic elements using semi-structured interviews to gather data from participants was used. Purposive sampling was used to select mobile school units, educators, nomadic leaders and community members. Data were collected through document analysis, audio-taped interviews and transcribed for inductive analysis. The intent of this case study is to illuminate attempts, through various education policies and strategies used by the Namibian government, to address equity and quality in education to marginalised and nomadic pastoralist groups, and reflect the insufficiency of such efforts that are not compatible with the intended groups’ culture and lifestyle. In this study horizontal, vertical equity and equal opportunity were used as lenses in analysing the degree to which equity has been achieved in Namibia. It became evident that the policies developed in Namibia support the notion of horizontal equity, but do not differentiate on the distribution of resources to equalise and standardise the provisioning despite unequal social circumstances. It is argued that if equity and quality in education aimed at nomadic and pastoralist groups are to be achieved, policymakers have to be prepared to be more flexible in the kind of practices and organisational structures which they develop in order to provide education, especially for these marginalised groups. Mere expansion of formal education provision, based on a model of what works in urban situations, is not enough to ensure equity and quality education reaches all primary school age children, especially nomadic and pastoralist children. Added to this, education aimed at nomads and pastoralists should be flexible, multi-facetted and focused to target specific structural problems such as social and economic marginalisation, lack of political representation, and interacting successfully with the new challenges raised by globalisation. The research findings contribute to the debate and discussion concerning equity and quality in education aimed at nomadic and pastoralists in the larger context of education systems in developing nations with circumstances similar to those in Namibia.

▼ ; The genus Ganoderma Karst. (1881) is the largest and most complex genus of polypore fungi, characterized by the presence of pores instead of the gills on the lower side of the fruiting body. The colonisation of Ganoderma species on trees is noticed by the appearance of their cap shaped, hard, crusty and shiny fruiting bodies. Ganoderma extract have been used for centuries in Asia's traditional medicine and to date Ganoderma mushrooms are an important source of modern medicinal and neutriceutical products in Asia. The objective of this study was to determine the genetic diversity among Ganoderma species, the traditional uses and natural hosts of Ganoderma species in the northeastern part of Namibia. This study was carried out in two regions of the north-eastern part of Namibia; Kavango and Caprivi region. Face to face interviews were used to collect data about the uses. A total of 89 Ganoderma samples where used for PCR amplification. The genetic diversity was determined by using three different random amplified microsatellites namely ACA, CGA and CCA. Shannon-Weiner Index of diversity, Cluster Analysis (CA) and Principal Coordinate of Analysis (PCoA) were the three numerical classification methods used to analyse RAMS data in this study. All methods revealed existence of high genetic variation among Ganoderma isolates in the north-eastern parts of Namibia. CA exhibited 10 different clusters using 3 primers combination, while the first two principal coordinates of PCoA indicated Eigen values of 63.42 and 46.45 with a total variation of 12.20 and 8.93 . Shannon-Weiner Index of diversity indicated 2.16 total genetic diversity for Ganoderma in the north eastern parts of Namibia. Thirteen natural hosts of Ganoderma species were identified in both Kavango and Caprivi region. The most common host was Colosphermum mopane (18 ) and the least common host were Ochna pulchra and Grewia bicolor both accounted for 1 of the total samples. Finally, three different uses of Ganoderma were identified mainly strengthening of infant bones (19), immunity boost (13) and avert of nose bleeding (4). However 64 of the respondents did not know any use of Ganoderma Advisors/Committee Members: (advisor).

▼ This thesis reports on a study conducted to investigate the business information needs, seeking patterns and information services for small, micro and medium enterprises (SMMEs) in Namibia. The survey methodology was used and questionnaires were distributed to 308 SMMEs and 60 business service providers in the Windhoek and Oshana districts of Namibia. An in-depth qualitative assessment of the business information services was also conducted in 15 business support organisations in the two districts. The data collected through questionnaires was analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) while qualitative data was analysed using content analysis. The study revealed that SMMEs have a range of business information needs and top among them are information on: finance, marketing, training and business information. The study also revealed that the information seeking patterns of SMMEs are largely informal with limited use of formal business information services provided by a range of business support services. There are several business support organisations in Namibia providing a range of services, including the provision of business information services. However, the study established that there is need for a coordinated approach towards the provision of business information services in the SMME sector in Namibia. The study showed that the utilisation of ICTs among SMMEs is very limited to basic computer operations like word processing, book-keeping packages, and spreadsheets. The use of Internet as a business tool and source of business information among SMMEs is also very limited. However, the study shows that the utilisation of ICTs among business support organisations is advanced and that this could be used as a platform to improve information delivery services to the SMMEs. The study proposes a strategic model that could be used in the deployment of business information services in the SMME sector. This strategy is based on a definition of business information services, components of business information services and the steps that must be followed in the development of the services. The proposed strategy also outlines the steps that should be taken in the impact assessment of business information services. The study concludes by making several recommendations concerning the improvement of business information delivery services to the SMME sector. Business support organisations and, in particular government and Chambers of Commerce and Industry need to consider various approaches in the design of sustainable business information services.

▼ ; The Namibian mining sector is characterised by large, medium and small-scale mining sector. However, this study is based on the small-scale mining. Namibia is rich in mineral deposits including diamonds, uranium, gold, base metals, industrial minerals and different types of precious stones and dimension stones. It is against this background that mining has been the backbone of the Namibian economy. Small-scale mining plays a major role in alleviating poverty and supplements the income of those involved. The Minerals (Prospecting and Mining) Act of 1992 and the Minerals Policy (2003) make provision for the registration of different types of mineral licence and mining claims. Thus, this study was undertaken within the context of the legislative framework, the Minerals Policy in particular, as it also provides the basis for the registration of mining claims; Despite the fact that small-scale mining contributes to the economic development of Namibia, it has also contributed to environmental impacts of which the greater ones have impacted other sectors of the economy. According to Speisers (2000), environmental impacts of small scale mining are divided into primary and secondary impacts, primary impacts being those that results from mining activities itself and secondary being those that results from the spin offs of the mining activity such as littering, and impacts on flora. Even with the provisions for the registration of mining claims in place, illegal mining operations are found. Thus, the paper explored the extent to which the minerals policy has been effective in Namibia with emphasis to environmental protection during small-scale mining; In light of the above, the objectives of this study were, to: determine the environmental implications of small-scale mining projects; review the provisions of the mineral policy on small-scale mining with emphasis on environmental protection; assess the effectiveness of the implementing mechanisms; and finally provide recommendations for effective implementation of the policy with emphasis on environmental protection during small-scale mining operations; The methods of data collection used in the study were both qualitative and quantitave in nature. The study was characterised by field visits and secondary data analysis. Quantitative analysis was used to achieve the first and the third objectives, which are, to determine the environmental implications of small-scale mining projects, and to assess the effectiveness of the implementing mechanisms. Random selection was employed in conducting the research; this was, to enable all the miners to stand a chance of being interviewed. In addition to the miners, structured interview were conducted with resourceful persons, two from Ministry of Mines and Energy, and two from Ministry of Environment and Tourism; one environmental consultant was also interviewed; Secondary data analysis often referred to, as documentary studies was also undertaken. It was undertaken to supplement the primary data. This focussed on the review of the… Advisors/Committee Members: (advisor), (advisor).

▼ ; HIV/AIDS is a worldwide problem generally and a particular one in Namibia. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a fatal disease caused by the Human Immune Virus (HIV). This disease has become an epidemic, infecting tens of millions of people worldwide. The virus, which is transmitted from one individual to another through the exchange of body fluids (such as blood or semen, and breast milk) attacks white blood cells, thereby causing the body to lose its capacity to ward off infection. As a result many AIDS patients die of opportunistic infections that strike their debilitated bodies. Living with HIV/AIDS is a challenge. (Hirsch, Kett & Trefil, 2002, p. 1); The purpose of this study is to explore and describe the accessibility of HIV/AIDS related health information to people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in the Khomas region in Namibia; The objectives of the study are to: Explain the experiences of those diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. D etermine the accessibility of HIV/AIDS related health information for People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) Determine the knowledge of PLWHA on support systems; A qualitative approach formed the basis of this research design. Qualitative research is a means of exploring the depth, richness and complexity inherent in a phenomenon. Qualitative methods are particularly useful when describing a phenomenon from the "emic" perspective, which is the perspective of the informants' point of view (De Vos et al., 2002, p. 357). This specific approach was selected because the researcher intended to explore and describe how people living with HIV/AIDS access information to live positively with the disease. living with HIV/AIDS; On the accessibility of health information in general, this study found that only some people have access to HIV/AIDS information. But access to HIV/AIDS related information is limited for some participants who identified language,lack of interest, alcohol abuse, time allocation as some of the barriers. Most reading materials are either written in English or Afrikaans which made it impossible for most of PLWHA to understand it. Those who understand those languages do not share it with others because of stigma; Participants also indicated that alcohol abuse does contribute to inaccessibility to such information. Participants stated that some PLWHA are abusing alcohol and do not listen when information is presented whether through the radio or at community meetings. Some participants also claimed that the time allocated to HIV/AIDS programme on National television (NBC) and radio stations is not enough. All these factors made it impossible for PLWHA to have access to relevant information; Recommendations were formulated. Problems such as the language issue need to be looked at by all stakeholders who are responsible for preparing information materials. More programmes on HIV/AIDS are needed on radios and NBC television in local languages. Stigma and discrimination need to be addressed seriously from all levels of society. This will enable PLWHA to live positively. Poverty… Advisors/Committee Members: (advisor), (advisor).

▼ Abstract provided by author; In an attempt to understand NCOs views and perceptions regarding career development and progression in the NDF, this study has adopted theories that recognised the humanistic approach to learning. These include Vygotsky's social constructivist theory and lifelong learning theory; The research design that was adopted in this study is based on qualitative approach due to the nature of this study. The target population of the study included all NCOs in the Windhoek DHQs. Purposeful stratified sampling technique was used in the sample selection of 45 respondents from the rank band of NCOs representing fifteen percent (15) of the population sample. An interview schedule was used as the main research instrument supported by observations in the data collection process; To ensure trustworthiness of the research instrument, a pilot study was undertaken prior to the actual data collection.The debate about the need for a clearly defined policy on career development/progression in the Namibian Defence Force (NDF) has been widely discussed in the NDF since its inception in 1990. Although there is already an existing policy, issues related to career development/progression among the Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs) in the NDF has not been clearly articulated. In light of these observations, a research study was initiated to explore and examine views and perceptions of the NCOs in the Windhoek Defence Force Headquarters (DHQs) regarding the effectiveness of the career development/ progression in the NDF. Furthermore, the existing disparities/variations in the levels of educational background, training, qualifications as well as appointment and promotional criteria in the rank band of NCOs prompted the need for such a study in the NDF. In addition, there was a need for a thorough examination of issues pertaining to career development and progression of NCOs in the NDF, seeing that, the study of this nature so far has not been undertaken; Overally, the findings of this study have created an understanding of NCOs' views and perceptions regarding the significance of an effective policy on career development/progression in the NDF in several ways; first is that it could assist policymakers in the Ministry of Defence when identifying the need for revision of the existing policy and programmes; second, help the NCOs to conceptualise the need for education and training in relation to career progression in the NDF; and finally contribute to the existing literature on career progression in the military; The study has come up with recommendations based on the research findings that inform the policymakers, researchers and other stakeholders dealing with career development and progression in the public service in general and NDF in particular; Furthermore, it is expected that this study would gear benefits towards improving the conditions of service of NCOs in the NDF, once the MoD/and DHQs management and officials have made interventions on key issues identified as challenges, barriers or shortcomings on career… Advisors/Committee Members: (advisor), (advisor).

▼ Abstract provided by author; The language policy of schools in Namibia states that learners should receive instruction in their mother tongue during the first three years of their primary school education (Ministry of Education and Culture, 1993).The multilingual nature of Namibia results in the notion of mother tongue medium of instruction not to be implemented effectively. Therefore some schools have English as medium of instruction from grade one (Wolfaardt, 2004) and this could result in the neglect of the mother tongue; It is important to investigate the influence that the neglect of mother tongue medium of instruction will have on the learners' proficiency in the second language. This study was conducted to find out if there is a difference in English Second Language performance in grade five of those Afrikaans speaking learners who received mother tongue instruction during the first three years of formal education as opposed to those that received instruction through English. The areas in which there are differences in the two groups' performance were also investigated. The Southern and Eastern Africa Consortium for Monitoring Educational Quality (SACMEQ) report (2004)suggested that the ability of grade six learners to read is very low in Namibia and these results are a reason for concern. The assumption might be that the neglect of mother tongue instruction can partly be the reason for these poor grade six results. Currently, there is a decline in the performance of English as a Second Language results in grade twelve (Ministry of Basic Education Sport and Culture, 2008) and this might partly be as a result of a language deficiency that has occurred in the primary school. Therefore recommendations need to be made and implemented that are research based for the rectification of this problem; Furthermore, there are various biological and social factors that constitute for differences in performance between males and females. These differences can also influence the academic performance of learners, especially their rate of academic success. According to Swann (1992), girls tend to have a greater verbal ability than boys. This verbal ability includes word fluency, grammar, spelling, vocabulary and reading. The researcher also investigated the difference in language performance for boys and girls; In this study a Quantitative approach was employed. The research is based on a Causal-Comparative design. The researcher tested proficiency through a number of tests: a vocabulary test, a syntax test and an oral communication test that was an interview with each participant. The sample included two schools: in Windhoek that offered a two language curriculum. A total of 70 learners were part of the study of which 35 learners were taken from each school. The learners at each school were further divided into, learners that had Afrikaans as a medium of instruction from grade one to three and learners that started with English as medium of instruction from grade one. The schools were selected through purposive sampling. A… Advisors/Committee Members: (advisor), (advisor).

▼ Abstract provided by author; This study investigated the problem of stagnation in career development for commissioned officers in the Namibian Defence Force (NDF). The study examined the hypothetical assumptions that commissioned officers especially those who are educated regard career development and progression processes in the NDF as stagnant, and the implementation of the Ministry of Defence (MoD) Personnel Policies as inconsistent. Thus, they are likely to become frustrated and to resign, because of lack of a clear relationship between their academic qualifications and career opportunities in the institution. This problem is evident in the inconsistency between the personnel policies' implementation and the academic qualifications of staff as far as training, appointments and promotional opportunities for commissioned officers in the NDF are concerned. The study used the descriptive- quantitative research method based on an analysis of the artillery brigade officers' corps. The conclusions and recommendations contained in this thesis are based on the observed inconsistencies in career policy implementation in the NDF; The general findings of this study suggest that there is no systematic linkage between academic qualifications and career professional requirements, regarding training, appointments and promotional opportunities for commissioned officers in the NDF. In this regard, it is still not certain how effective the career development/progression policy is in addressing the officers' career needs in the NDF. The study recommends the implementation of MoD Personnel Policies to be improved in order to reconcile training and education with appointment and promotions for commissioned officers in the NDF. These findings and recommendations can hopefully assist the Ministry of Defence and the decision-makers in the NDF in particular, to introduce measures and policies' instruments to address these inconsistencies Advisors/Committee Members: (advisor), (advisor).
