Are South African teaching posts up for sale? School staff say an old problem hasn’t gone away
Questions about the integrity of educator appointments remain unresolved in South Africa ten years after a ministerial task team investigated the alleged sale of teaching posts. The inquiry exposed vulnerabilities in a system intended to ensure that appointments are fair, equitable and transparent. A decade later, how well does South Africa’s system protect teacher appointments and promotions from improper influence?

Student teachers in South Africa face a stressful career: how to prepare them better
South African teacher education qualifications are expected to comply with the Minimum Requirements for Teacher Education Qualifications. But evidence points to gaps in teacher competence and the quality of instruction. Many students who enrol for teaching at South African universities have lower grade 12 results than those studying other degrees. This means universities need to provide support and a good foundation for them to develop as teachers.

Information and Communication Technology for E-waste Awareness and Management in Rural Communities of South Africa
This paper provides insight into the importance of the proper disposal of electronic waste, also known as e-waste, which contains hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, and cadmium that can harm both the environment and human health. This is a serious problem for people living in rural communities in South Africa, as they grow food in the soil and drink water from river flows and dams, which may be contaminated.
Enhancing Industrial Fan Performance: A Data-driven Framework for Energy Savings and Cost Reduction
South Africa faces the challenge of balancing energy demand with sustainable development goals. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems consume about 40.6 billion kWh of energy annually, which accounts for 20% of the country’s overall energy consumption, according to the Eskom Energy Management Information Pack from July 2015. Many fans used in these systems operate inefficiently, leading to increased energy and maintenance costs.

Breaking barriers: transforming healthcare education for transgender patient equity in a South African undergraduate paramedic program
Background Despite growing global attention to diversity, equity and inclusion in healthcare, transgender health remains insufficiently addressed in undergraduate medical curricula, particularly in prehospital emergency care training. Transgender individuals often experience discrimination and substandard care linked to healthcare providers’ limited knowledge and cultural competence.

The Question of Thermoelectric Devices Electrical Resistance-A Practical Investigation From a Peltier Effect (Thermoelectric Cooler/Thermoelectric Heater) Perspective - Bayendang - Heat Transfer - Wiley Online Library
1 Introduction A thermoelectric device (TED) intrinsic electrical resistance affects its performance—which is degraded when operated as a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) [1] and upgraded when operated as a thermoelectric heater (TEH) [2]. This's due to Ohmic heating, which increases with supply voltage and as a result increases a TED's temperature and consequently its inherent electrical resistance. This Ohmic or Joule heating, thus increases a TEH's performance and decreases a TEC's performance.
Student teachers in South Africa choose comfort over challenge in practical placements: but there’s a hidden cost
South Africa’s schools still carry the imprint of apartheid, where resources, language and geography were deliberately divided according to “race”. Many communities today remain deeply unequal in terms of school infrastructure and resources. For student teachers, this means that placement for practical experience in one school can feel worlds apart from a placement just a few kilometres away.
Applying The Carbon Scope Framework for Decarbonisation in a South African High Alloy Foundry
Carbon emissions constitute a growing concern for South Africa’s manufacturing sector, particularly the foundry industry. Despite national commitments to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and the implementation of carbon tax regulations, many foundries have been slow to adopt effective decarbonisation measures.

Indigenous knowledge systems can be useful tools in the G20’s climate change kit
Indigenous knowledge systems are bodies of knowledge that were developed and used by local communities for centuries. They shape how people understand their environment, solve problems, and live sustainably. Bennet Siyabonga Madonsela, environmental scientist and Indigenous knowledge systems researcher, explains how these systems can help the world adapt to climate change, and what South Africa, as 2025 president of the G20 group of most powerful economies, should do to promote them.

South Africa’s rooibos tea: can it improve digestion?
Rooibos tea, a caffeine-free drink made from the leaves of a shrub indigenous to South Africa, is part of the country’s heritage. The rooibos plant (Aspalathus linearis) grows in the mountainous Cederberg region of South Africa’s Western Cape province. It has been traditionally harvested and consumed as a herbal tea by the Khoisan people. Beyond making tea, the plant has been touted for its potential health benefits. Rooibos has scientifically proven effects as an antioxidant.

Chalk and talk vs. active learning: what’s holding South African teachers back from using proven methods?
By Lizélle Pretorius, Lecturer in Education, Cape Peninsula University of Technology As a full-time teacher completing a PhD part-time, I made a decision early on: do research that speaks to the daily realities of teachers and teaching. And so, the idea came from a lived experience – the day I asked one of my grade 11 learners (an A student) about the interpretation of a poem. His response? Ma’am, please just write the answer on the board so we can study it for the exam.

Elite schools in South Africa: how quiet gatekeeping keeps racial patterns in place
In South Africa, children’s admission to a particular public school is decided by province. Each provincial education department manages its own digital admissions system. The Western Cape province introduced an online admissions portal in 2018 which became fully operational in 2024. The aim was to make school placement more transparent. This is important because historically, under apartheid, South African education was racially segregated and unequally funded.

Neocyte‐enriched blood does not provide a survival advantage for red cells when compared to conventional filtered blood
Chronic red blood cell (RBC) transfusions are essential for treating conditions such as sickle cell disease and β-thalassaemia. Neocyte-enriched blood may prolong the interval between transfusions. The results of this study have shown no significant difference in RBC storage lifespan between neocyte-enriched blood and filtered blood. These results highlight the need to reassess the use of neocyte-enriched blood in chronic transfusions and explore more cost-effective collection methods.

Waves of hurt faced by families due to a hospitalised relative with COVID-19 in the Cape Flats
Background: Family members value each other, particularly during troubled times, and the consequences of a sudden disruption to their family environment could imply difficult adjustments, affecting their well-being. They did not expect that a family member would get severely ill due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). It was unclear what the experiences of family members were on the sudden hospitalisation of a close relative diagnosed with COVID-19.
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly affected the health care sectors, causing stress among professionals such as diagnostic radiographers who helped fight this disease. Aim: This study explored occupational stress and stressors caused by the COVID-19 pandemic among diagnostic radiographers including coping strategies used and interventions that may be used to mitigate the effects of stress during future pandemics.
