▼ The Twickenham Platinum Mine (TPM) Project is located in the north eastern limb of the Bushveld Complex, north west of Steelpoort in the Limpopo Province. The property hosts platinum group metals (PGM) mineralisation in the Merensky Reef (MR) and Upper Group 2 Chromitite (UG2). The two reefs are separated by 400 m of mafic and ultramafic rocks of the Rustenburg Layered Suite. The question that must be answered with this study relates to the economic viability of the MR compared to that of the UG2 at the TPM Project, as it stands in 2011. The assumption is that no mining has commenced on this project and that there is an equal opportunity to commence mining on one of the reefs. The study describes the ore body characteristic for each reef, focussing on the lithologies, structure, and resources available. The discounted cash flow (DCF) method was used to determine the economic value of each reef. The net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) were calculated and used to compare the ore bodies. The input parameters to the DCF are the main limiting factors to this method, as the results are heavily dependent on the assumptions made. The input parameters used were based on actual published values and generally accepted and motivated assumptions. A sensitivity and risk analysis was completed to identify value ranges and potential risks to the projects. The outcome of the analysis has been compared to other projects as a benchmark to ensure the project assumptions were realistic. The world markets supply and demand for PGM is intricately related to exchange rates, metal prices, inflation, and investment risk. These have an influence on the strategic planning for a company as well as investment decisions through various project evaluation methods. South Africa has a long history of mining and metals extraction. Extensive mining legislation has been developed to ensure the country’s mineral wealth is protected and the health and safety of employees are high priority. Specific challenges related L! to mining on the Eastern Limb are discussed in order to justify the high risk assigned to the project for this evaluation. The DCF was calculated and the outcome indicated that neither the MR nor the UG2 is economically viable using these parameters in the 2011 economy. The MR evaluation produced a negative NPV (R -1,664,541,443.47) and an IRR of 9 %, which is well below the required discount rate of 12 %. The initial project capital will be repaid after 19 years of the 33 year life of mine. The sensitivity analysis showed that by reducing the initial capital by 30 %, the project produces a positive NPV. The other factor that produced a positive NPV was by reducing the operating cost by 50 %. This project will have to be re-evaluated after all parameters have been tested and some re-engineering has been done to optimise the extraction of the MR ore body. The UG2 evaluation produced a negative NPV (R -109,614,208.27) and an IRR of 12 %, equal to the required discount rate. The… Advisors/Committee Members: Roberts, R.J. (James) (advisor).

▼ Individuals, groups and organisations are increasingly feeling compelled to take action and become personally involved in the field of development cooperation in an attempt to alleviate poverty and improve the lives of the poor. One such do-it-yourself phenomenon that has been observed in New Zealand involves the Christian church. A grey area has emerged where development activities are now carried out by churches which are amateurs in the field. These initiatives are run by pastors and congregation members acting on the teachings of the Christian faith but with little understanding of the complexities of poverty or development. The altruistic and often selfless intentions of those involved in such initiatives are commendable. But are these do-it-yourself solutions to complex issues of poverty and development really achieving what they say they are? If these initiatives were tested to determine their level of effectiveness, what would the results be? Motivated by these observations and questions, this thesis seeks to explore this emerging phenomenon. It asks, what does it look like? How might it be defined? Is it effective? This thesis calls the phenomenon Church Initiatives for International Development (“CIID”). It argues that CIID is conducted by new development actors and situates CIID in relation to current trends within the industry: the emergence of a fourth channel of development cooperation and the role of religion in development. CIID is compared to current actors in international development, specifically citizen-led initiatives and faith-based initiatives to demonstrate its similarities and differences. A taxonomy outlining the different types of CIID is presented which provides insight into the range of forms that CIID takes. The research also explores how the effectiveness of CIID might be understood. To achieve this, an assessment framework consisting of eight criteria was created drawing upon mainstream and alternative approaches to effectiveness. This framework was then tested through indepth interviews with six CIID case studies from donor churches in New Zealand. By analysing information from the in-depth interviews with donor churches, the study concludes that CIID is more effective across the criteria of local ownership & participation, collaboration, relationship and partnership, and less effective in the areas of accountability, measuring success, holistic well-being and attitudes and knowledge. The research also reveals that CIID is typically more effective when a development organisation is involved in a partnership with a church that is implementing CIID. The findings on the emerging field of CIID that this thesis presents contribute further insight into the nature of do-it-yourself development initiatives in the fourth channel and the role that NZ churches are playing in international development.

▼ Acid catalysts have been shown to be very successful in the pretreatment of cellulosic biomass to improve glucose yield and improve overall yield of ethanol. This report presents the results of a techno-economic study that looks into the use of nanoscale magnetic solid acid catalysts for glucose production. Magnetic solid acid catalysts are an improvement over using diluted acid due to eliminating acid-waste generation and corrosion hazards. Their magnetic nature also allows them to be easily separated from reaction products by an external magnetic force. After the technology is analyzed, a series of unit operations is proposed to go from the laboratory scale to the industrial plant scale. The next step was to develop material and energy balances using HYSYS process simulation software. Capital and operating costs are estimated and all the information is combined into a discounted cash flow economic model. The economic portion of the report uses a probabilistic cost assessment. It is used to quantify the range of risks in the project from swings in feedstock costs, differences in yield from catalysts, and any other significant variables. Both capital costs (initial equipment & construction investment) and operating costs (feedstock supply, chemicals, and personnell) are included with ranges of error based on databases and expert opinion. This method of evaluating investment efficiency can be helpful for predicting the cost benefits of proposed future research. The yield and percent catalyst magnetically recovered is assumed based on laboratory research to simplify the model. A 2000 metric tons of biomass per day facility was analyzed. Using the magnetic solid acid catalyst technology, the capital costs are estimated to be $160 million and this technology saves around 10% of capital costs compared to ethanol plants that uses conventional acid hydrolysis. The yield of the magnetic solid acid catalysts should be around 75% to compete with existing ethanol technologies. The metric used for this report is the discount profitability index (DPI) which is the ratio of future cash flows divided by investment. A DPI “hurdle rate” of 1.3 is used, which is similar to industry economic metrics of projects that include new process plants. The calculated DPI for the project is 1.38 DPI which is higher than using conventional cellulose treatment technologies. The recommendation is continue to study this technology’s large scale applicability before attempting any plant pilot studies. Advisors/Committee Members: Keith Hohn.

▼ This study questions the proposition that undertaking vocational education and training (VET) enhances the likelihood of getting a job. The research opines that the perceived impact of VET in the employment decision is ideological and based on circumstantial evidence not measurable in the absence of specifically focused, large scale, longitudinal research. The research contends that unemployment, and the role of education and training in reducing unemployment, intersect in a highly politicised and manipulated environment lacking the necessary data and research to inform public policy and that this environment has spawned a new class system in Australia - "Employability". The research states that, in Australia, too many individuals and employers exhibit little regard for the value of education and training preferring experience and attitude, whilst the government makes little effort to instil a desire for life long learning engaging instead in denigration of the unemployed and shaping of public perception whilst frustrating independent analysis of its claims for success in dealing with this social enigma. Work, according to this researcher, has been elevated to the point of becoming a religion and humanity is now valued by business, and government, solely for its "employability" in an act of faith policy set that allocates education and training to a role subordinate to, and supporting of, employability. Decisions on the value of education are left up to individual choice in a narrowly focused set of policies shackled by economic overtones and a failure to promote life long learning. The research locates these, and other assertions, in a conceptual framework that explores the intersecting themes of society, economics, politics, education and training, through hermeneutical interrogation of empirical, theoretical and philosophical research using content, thematic and materialist semiotic analysis within an ethnographic - inductive design. The study surfaces the proposition that research and balanced economic and social evaluation techniques, together with a sophisticated debate and a set of values and policy of life long learning, does not shape public policy and action. Instead, the drivers are primarily narrow ideologies, acts of faith, unproven assumptions and the objectives of politics and capital. The researcher ultimately concludes that the decision to employ is more influenced by the external complex interactions of agency, practice and social structure and the singular conditions of interview.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis evaluated the theory behind the South African Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) during its first phase from 2004-2009. The research examined how sound the EPWP theory was which explains the logic that links programme objectives and programme activities and resources. The data for this study comprised of government departmental documents on the EPWP, the context of the EPWP and the policies that informed it. Evaluation of the EPWP theory revealed that the programme was based on a sound theory if focusing solely on projected objectives, activities and resources. However, the evaluation also revealed deficiencies in the programme theory with regard to the EPWP reaching its larger policy goals. The theory construction and evaluation framework by Rossi, Freeman and Lipsey (2004) is an evaluation tool that was used to evaluate the EPWP. More theory based approach evaluations would add value to the lack in theory based programme evaluations in South Africa. In brief, the problem of unemployment is structural in South Africa and requires long term solutions. The policies and policy programmes should thus be designed with permanent employment measures in mind. However, employment through one of the largest policy programmes in South Africa, the EPWP, was short term. It is therefore recommended that this method of programme evaluation be utilised in more studies prior to implementation of a programme, because if the logic behind a programme is sound, its chances to succeed could be improved.

AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis evalueer die teorie agter die Suid-Afrikaanse Uitgebreide Openbare Werke Program (UPWP) tydens die eerste fase van 2004-2009. Die navorsing ondersoek hoe grondig die teorie die logika tussen program doelwitte en program-aktiwiteite en hulpbronne verduidelik. Die data vir hierdie studie bestaan uit departementele dokumente oor die konteks van die UPWP en die beleid wat die program ingelig het. Evaluering van die UPWP-teorie het aan die lig gebring dat die program gebaseer is op 'n grondige teorie, met die fokus uitsluitlik op geprojekteerde doelwitte, aktiwiteite en hulpbronne. Die evaluering van die UPWP-teorie het ook die gebrek met betrekking tot die bereik van groter beleidsdoelwitte aan die lig gebring. Die teorie konstruksie-en evalueringsraamwerk deur Rossi, Freeman en Lipsey (2004) is 'n evaluering instrument wat gebruik was om die UPWP te evalueer. Meer teoreties-gebaseerde evaluerings sal waarde toevoeg tot die gebrek van teorie-gebaseerde program evaluering in Suid Afrika. Ter opsomming, werkloosheid is n strukturele probleem in Suid Afrika en vereis langtermyn oplossings. Die beleide en die beleid programme moet dus ontwerp word met permanente indiensneming geleenthede in gedagte. Indiensneming deur een van die grootste programme in Suid-Afrika, die UPWP bied egter kort termyn indiensneming. Dit word dus aanbeveel dat die teorie-gebaseerde benadering van programevaluering in meer studies gebruik word voor die implementering van 'n…

▼ The choice between a zonal or nodal pricing regime has been one of the most contentious elements of electricity market design. The pricing regime adopted has implications for real-time operational aspects such as congestion management, as well as for long-term investment decision-making for generation, networks and major loads, via economic locational price signalling. The debate over the potential implications of the pricing regimes on market power and contracting continues. The ability of the pricing regime to capture the fidelity of the underlying power system network is critical for efficient market operation. Linear programming techniques are frequently incorporated in the solution of market dispatch and a fundamental component is the set of constraint equations. Thermal contingency constraints are a very important sub-set of the constraints represented. An aggregative zonal pricing approach may include thermal contingency constraints which incorporate static coefficients of market variables calculated exogenously to the market model. In contrast, an explicit nodal pricing approach can enable dynamic endogenous formulation of these constraints within the market model. Therefore, these zonal and nodal modelling approaches both aim to solve the market dispatch problem, but define the problem differently. These differences potentially have significant implications for market operation and in particular for investment decision-making. This thesis empirically investigates the impact of the linear program feasible solution space definition on electricity market optimal dispatch outcomes, comparing the zonal and nodal modelling approaches. The New South Wales transmission network within the Australian National Electricity Market is investigated over a fifteen-year forecast period, for planning studies to guide network investment. The potential economic efficiency of an intra-zonal network investment is also assessed. Time-sequential security constrained economic dispatch is simulated for the current zonal approach and for the nodal approach developed in this thesis. The results demonstrate that the differences in spot price, congestion and dispatch outcomes between the modelling approaches can be substantial, and different paths for network investments might potentially be progressed. The results highlight that tools used in such optimisation processes should simultaneously capture the intra- and inter-zonal market dynamics, and the trade-offs for network investment within and between zones. The nodal approach developed could play a valuable role in improving the network investment decision-making process.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: There are concerns that the modulus of elasticity (MOE) of Pinus patula lumber in South Africa has decreased mainly due to faster growth and reduced rotation ages. However, a number of recent studies have shown that increased planting densities can improve mean stiffness of wood from several softwood species. Additionally, stem form could possibly also improve with higher planting densities. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of Pinus patula saw log management regimes, based on higher initial planting densities, on land expectation value (LEV) and stem form. Stem form has a large influence on volume and value recovery in sawmills and the influence of stem form characteristics can be considered when calculating log values using software programmes such as Simsaw. This study was conducted using an 18 year-old Pinus patula experimental spacing trial. The trial was located near Barberton on the Mpumalanga escarpment. The experiment consisted of two replications of four planting densities (403, 1 097, 1 808, and 2 981 spha). Stem form characteristics (ovality, straightness, sinuosity, butt-flare, and taper) from each spacing treatment were assessed from Lidar scanning data. The trial was felled and logs processed into structural size lumber which were destructively tested for MOE and modulus of rupture (MOR). The board MOE, together with sawing simulation results, were used to assign a log value recovery to each log class from each spacing treatment. Together with South African forestry cost data, the land expectation value for a range of planting density treatments and thinning regimes were calculated. Spacing treatment had a significant effect on all five stem form characteristics. Over the bottom nine meters of the stem, the lower spacing treatments (403 and 1 097 spha) had mean stem deviations of 132.1 mm and 109.3 mm respectively while the higher planting densities (1 808 and 2 981 spha) had mean stem deviations of 76.4 mm and 82.1 mm respectively. Taper and butt-flare also had a decreasing trend from 403 spha to 2 981 spha. Ovality, on the other hand, increased with increasing planting density and also increased with increasing height along the tree stem. There was an increase in mean MOE of lumber with increasing planting density. Similarly, the structural grade recoveries of similar board positions increased with planting density. This, in turn, resulted in increased log value recovery, for the same log sizes, with increased planting density. The best management regimes for each of the three lower planting densities (403, 1 097, and 1 808 spha) all returned LEV values relatively close to each other. The best LEV was from a spacing treatment of 1 808 spha, thinned at 12 years to 300 spha, and clearfelled at 19 years (R47 693.02/ha. The second best management regime was for the 1 097 spha planting density, thinned to 250 spha at 13 years, and clearfelled at 18 years (R46 677.59/ha). Despite the results showing that higher planting densities result in better value recoveries… Advisors/Committee Members: Wessels, Brand C., Ham, Cori, Stellenbosch University.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Instability in foreign political and social systems, changing power structures in international relations, and growing demands by host countries for a greater control over the operations of multinational enterprises (MNEs) have all led to the necessity of an improved way in which to determine foreign investment opportunities. Not surprisingly therefore, political risk assessment has become one of the fastest growing fields of study. Being concerned with the identification, analysis, management, and reduction of socio-political risks for foreign investors. The focus of this study is that of political risk analysis and the way in which it impacts on investor perception and consequently determines levels of foreign direct investment received by a particular country. Numerous definitions for the term "political risk" exist. Consequently, no specific definition is regarded as being completely correct since consensus still needs to be reached. One of the definitions used within this study is that political risk analysis is the analysis of the possibility that factors caused or influenced by governmental political decisions or other unforeseen events in a country will affect business climates in such a way that investors will lose money or not make as much profit as they expected when the initial decision to invest was made. These factors can be of internal (from inside the host country) or external origin, and can pose macro or micro risks. Foreign Direct Investment in brief is an investment involving a long-term relationship and reflecting a lasting interest and control of a resident entity in one economy in an enterprise resident in an economy other than that of the foreign direct investor. This study is a comparative between South Africa and Nigeria. South Africa and Nigeria share many similarities, they are both resource based, African countries. They are both fairly recent democracies, although some may contest the status of Nigeria as being a democracy. They are also both heterogeneous states, both consisting of various ethnic groups. Nigeria offers investors a low-cost labour pool, abundant natural resources, and a large domestic market. However, Nigeria suffers from an inadequate and poorly maintained infrastructure, confusing and inconsistent regulations, endemic corruption, and a lack of confidence in the rule of law. Despite all of this, Nigeria alone accounts for a quarter of FDI flows to Africa. In comparison, South Africa's FDI potential has not been fully exploited. This study will discuss the possible reasons why this is the case. The labour market in both countries and the challenges they face are discussed in depth within this study. Due to the fact that aside from investment, the economic growth within a country is dependent on a variety of factors, the backbone of which is the labour market. In determining levels of risk within both South Africa and Nigeria, this study made use of a political risk model. Although the intention has been to be as… Advisors/Committee Members: Brink, Charlotte, Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Dept. of Political Science..

▼ This thesis explores the contribution of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in rural development processes. Within the framework of social capital theory, and in the context of the information society, the study examines how the collaborative and innovative model of ICT for Development (ICT4D) can enhance social networks and information channels in rural communities, thereby enabling the active participation of rural community members in their own development processes. The study examines networks and information channels both within the rural communities under investigation and between these communities and other sectors in the society. The thesis studies the case of the Siyakhula Living Lab (SLL), an ICT4D initiative in the Mbashe Municipality of the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. During the investigation, four types of networks were identified: local organisations, social institutions, collective community projects and social ties. It was found that the Living Lab has so far influenced the creation of new forms of networks through the common spaces (computer labs) which have been made available by the Living Lab. The study further showed that the use of computers has enabled other community members to partake in the wider community of online/virtual social networks, allowing them to communicate and share information with those outside their own communities. The study also showed that the Living Lab has enabled the networking of these communities with other sectors such as academia. It was, however, found that so far the existence of the Living Lab has not influenced the already existing local networks in these communities. Also, the study showed that the relationship between these rural communities and their government and industry partners as stakeholders in the Living Lab is currently ineffective. Nevertheless, this situation has a potential to change in the future as there are ICT applications which have been developed through collaboration with rural community members, which will assist in enhancing communication between these rural communities and other stakeholders. The study finally revealed that social networks do contribute to the functioning of communities by providing both monetary and social support to community members, even though, in effect, the monetary benefits are somewhat limited by a number of factors. It is revealed that the engagement of ICT could go a long way in improving social and economic activities, governance and service delivery, as well as education in these communities.
