The book begins with general sections on the background to the book, the genesis of the Street Law and other public legal education programmes in the United States and South Africa and their influence on other countries, as well as interactive teaching methods, before the contributions by individual countries are included. The country contributions usually begin with a brief introduction to the country and the context within which the Street Law, community outreach or legal literacy program was or will be introduced, during which presenters (a) identify the problems the program was aiming to solve; (b) the objectives of the program; (c) the target audience of the program; (d) the methodology used; (e) the challenges faced or to be faced in implementing the program; and (f) the results of the program in terms of its impact or how it will be evaluated if it is not yet operative. Thereafter, an example of a best practice lesson or lessons from the country is given. It is hoped, as stated in the 'Foreword' by South African Human Rights Commissioner, Mohamed Shafie Ameermia, that: The book can play an important role in promoting human rights across the world... [T]his Street law public legal education international best practices compendium has the potential to become a cornerstone for global human rights education programs to complement existing works on the topic. It can make a major contribution towards ensuring that the ethos and values of hard-fought fundamental rights and freedoms, internationally and nationally, are forever cherished, advanced and respected.

An introductory text for students and practitioners, this work explains the foundational concepts of tourism in South Africa, as well as the socio-economic and ecological impacts of the industry.

Diagrams and tables that complementing concepts, review questions and assignments, and a list of related websites are also included.

Most sub-Saharan African countries are multilingual. Hence, multilingualism is a feature of many schools and classrooms. An additive approach to multilingualism has been proven to be the most appropriate in this context. It is therefore important to demonstrate how multilingualism could be productively utilised to promote learner engagement and facilitate learning. The book focuses on using multiple languages as resources for teaching and learning in multilingual classrooms and highlights strategies for using multilingualism as a resource.

The book is divided into 3 sections: the first section is theoretical and describes the theoretical foundations of multilingualism in education and the promotion of additive multilingualism; the second section presents case studies to demonstrate evidence-based strategies for learner and learning support, and the final section provides sample lesson plans in different content areas that are suitable for teaching in multilingual classrooms.

The Legal Profession in South Africa: History, Liability & Regulation discusses the history of the legal profession in South Africa, the common-law liability of legal practitioners and the regulation of the profession. The work describes the development of the profession in South Africa, highlighting the complex role that practitioners have played in the development of our society. It also explores the legal nature of the relationships that may exist between practitioners and clients as well as between practitioners themselves.

The fundamental questions at the core of the book are: what are the duties that are imposed upon legal practitioners by contract law or otherwise, and under what circumstances can they be held liable towards clients and third parties? The most important provisions of the Legal Practice Act, as well as the Rules and Regulations issued under the Act, are set out and explained. The broader issues of legal ethics and professional conduct are considered along with the ethical and statutory duties of legal practitioners towards clients, the courts and their colleagues.

The final chapter covers personal costs orders, setting out the categories and instances in which courts have made these orders in the past. This book is aimed at anyone interested in the legal profession. It is an essential addition to the library of legal practitioners who will benefit from the discussion of various theoretical and practical issues related to the work they do. It is also a useful tool for law students who seek a better understanding of the legal profession.

The South African Schools Act 84 of 1996 aims to make high-quality basic education accessible to all South African children irrespective of race and geographic location in the country. Written by significant role-players and members of the judiciary, Pathways to Successful Schooling reflects on the journey of South African schooling over the past 20 years. This book was prompted by the 2016 Schools Act symposium, Schools Act @ 20: Charting the Way Forward, which celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Schools Act. Looking at education since 1996, this book considers practical alternatives for addressing contentious matters. Unique to this work is the inclusion of the first ever analysis of the background to the drafting of the Schools Act. Pathways to Successful Schooling gives perspectives on dreams, expectations and realities. It reflects on what became of the vision of the Education White Paper 1 and the Schools Act. An international dimension is added by the discussion of constitutional changes and values in the context of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. The book also looks at legislating for the realisation of children's rights and offers the view that, although the Act has set the pace, broader efforts will enhance children's rights in South Africa.

This title, a second edition of Currie & Klaaren's The promotion of administrative Justice Act Benchbook, is a commentary on the PAJA, written to assist the judges, magistrates, lawyers and administrators who are required to interpret and implement the Act. The aim is principally to describe the impact of the Act on the body of law that it codifies and reforms or, to put it another way, to describe the difference that the PAJA makes to administrative law. The PAJA has become the legislative foundation of the general administrative law of South Africa. Though analysis of an administrative-law issue will not end with the Act, it certainly must begin with it - with attention to and interpretation of the Act's provisions. This title therefore aims at providing the Act's interpreters with guidance on this process of interpretation, rather than to cover South African administrative law comprehensively.

Public Interest Litigation in South Africa offers a collection of grounded accounts - by leaders in the field - of the campaigns, cases, and causes that have defined key areas of public interest litigation in the country since the constitutional transition. The authors share their perspectives on the struggles led by people, communities, activists, and civil society organisations to realise the vision of the Constitution. This volume captures the legal narratives of those particular struggles in the hope that this will contribute to the broader, ongoing struggle for social justice. Part One of the book considers general themes relating to public interest litigation. These include its history, the development of the public interest sector and the impact and value of public interest litigation; the role of international law in public interest litigation; the ethics and politics of public interest litigation; and constitutional procedure. Part Two addresses public interest litigation in ten key areas of law: property rights, gender, basic services, health care, LGBTI equality, children's rights, basic education, freedom of expression, access to information, and prisoners' rights. Public Interest Litigation in South Africa seeks to share some of what has been achieved in the courts, beyond the well-trodden landmark appellate decisions, as a contribution to informed and critical engagement with litigation as a tool for social change.

Information Management is useful to students who are currently involved in handling information in any office environment.

The aim of this module is to equip office employees with the necessary skills and knowledge to manage information in the office relating to budgeting, buying and selling, wages and salaries, petty cash, banking and insurance. The credit calculation is based on the assumption that students are already competent in terms of the following outcomes or areas of learning when starting to study towards this section standard, namely: a senior certificate or equivalent NQF level 4 qualification; the ability to study independently and communicate effectively in the language of instruction; and the ability to perform basic arithmetic calculations.

The module is set to enable one to:

• understand the financial function of an organisation;
• understand the basic concepts of financial management;
• draw up and manage the office budget;
• manage the buying and selling activities in an office;
• manage the wages and salaries in an office;

Communication in the Office is to equip any person working in an office environment with the basic knowledge, skills and attitudes to communicate effectively in the administrative and office environment.

Communication is the basis of all relationships. All business matters depend on the exchange of information, and the success of the organisation’s performance depends on the effective exchange of this information. Communication therefore affects every decision and almost every activity in the organisation. It does not include only human communication but also the management of communications technology – computer, email, voice-mail, databases and all other technical equipment of the modern electronic office. To ensure effective communication it is necessary to have a basic knowledge of communication. This aspect is addressed in Chapter 1. Chapters 2 and 3 will focus on written and electronic communication. In Chapter 4, all relevant aspects regarding meetings are addressed.

This module will enable you to:

• understand the importance of good communication in an office environment, as well as the elements of the communication process (verbally and written communication);
• compile business letters, memoranda and reports;
• use different forms of electronic communication in the office; and
• organise all aspects of a meeting and take the minutes

The South African Street law programme is designed to teach law to learners from a variety of backgrounds, including law students, school learners, school educators, police and correctional services officers, security officers, trade unions, workers, women's organisations, children's organisations, youth groups, NGOs, CBOs and people involved in training such persons and organisations. Two texts covering the programme are available: a Street Law South Africa Learner's Manual and a Street Law South Africa Educator's Manual.

The Educator's manual explains how to conduct the exercises in the Learner's Manual and provides solutions to the problems.

International Economic Law (southern) African perspectives and priorities is the first book dedicated to examining international economic law from a (southern) African perspective. This field of law profoundly affects African countries’ (and, indeed, every individual country’s) sustainable development and aspirations for economic growth.

International Economic Law (southern) African perspectives and priorities examines the international legal framework and how it intersects with the domestic regulatory frame work of South Africa and other (southern) African countries and their economic policies. It offers fresh, diverse and balanced perspectives on international economic law by (primarily) African authors and addresses topics that are the most relevant on the continent for academics, practitioners and students in this field. The book aims to continue the conversation in the light of Africa’s increasing participation in all facets of global economic affairs by providing stake holders – both within and outside Africa – with another source for understanding the priorities for (southern) African countries in international economic law.

Why do we research unit management in correctional facilities? The research was necessitated by a fundamental need to change the way in which South Africa deals with sentenced inmates. The country boasts one of the highest international recidivism rates. Instead of being a revolving door where shorter-term offenders circulate through the correctional system, or a warehouse where serious offenders are subjected to monotonous empty hours for a lifetime, all correctional systems should actively and meaningfully address recidivism. This means that correctional interventions must contribute to inmate empowerment, resulting in a life without crime. Unit management proves to be a management tool that can facilitate such meaningful contribution. It has been implemented in some international correctional systems but limited international research, mainly from the USA, is available. With their research, the authors uniquely integrate correctional management fundamentals, law, organisational theory, and institutional administrative procedures into one research project. The research aims to lay a foundation for unit management implementation by addressing philosophy, international norms, processes, design, legal principles, risk management, human resources and correctional case studies. These contents deliver evidence of original research that stretches over more than a decade. Unit Management in Correctional Facilities: Law and Administration challenges executive management and the modern-day correctional practitioner on the professional front in terms of accountability, implementation of evidence based correctional best practices and transformation of the correctional system to the ultimate benefit of the offender and the broad society. It aims to equip correctional practitioners, students, lecturers and other academics.

Chapter 8 of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act 75 of 1997, allows the Minister of Labour to promulgate minimum conditions of employment for employees in specific sectors or areas, in the form of Sectoral Determinations. Sectoral Determination 6 sets out minimum conditions of employment in the South African Private Security Sector, a sector employing over 500 000 active security officers, with 1 500 000 registered security officers, and over 9 000 active employer security companies. This book presents a non-legalistic commentary on the specific minimum conditions of employment applicable to persons employed in South Africa as security officers. The key provisions of the Sectoral Determination are covered in a systematic manner, with Key Point summaries at the end of each section. Understanding Sectoral Determination 6: Private Security also contains the text of the legislation. Understanding Sectoral Determination 6: Private Security forms part of the Juta's Pocket Companions series, to complement Juta's highly successful Pocket Statutes series.

Real security law is where property law and credit law meet to regulate the rights that creditors have to property belonging to their debtors – either as agreed upon between the parties or as imposed by the law. Security rights facilitate affordable borrowing, investment in property and industry, and thus the promise of economic prosperity. Secured lenders are also empowered with stronger rights than other creditors and with more beneficial debt enforcement options. In our ever-changing economic and social context, a sophisticated system of law is necessary to maintain a fine balance between the rights of debtors, creditors, third parties and the general public – especially when things go wrong. Financial crises, rising consumer over-indebtedness and the fight against homelessness are but some important considerations that challenge this area of law.

Real Security Law covers all of the conventional forms of real security, such as the mortgage of land, the pledge of movables, general and special notarial bonds, security cessions, the landlord’s tacit hypothec and rights of retention. It also includes security mechanisms imposed by statutes, for example municipal charges, embargo powers, the instalment-agreement hypothec and statutory pledges.

The aim of this volume is to describe and analyse the current state of real security law in South Africa, starting with our common law foundation but with a particular focus on developments inspired by the Bill of Rights and other statutory and socio-economic changes in society. Therefore, the most recent developments in constitutional, statutory and case law are incorporated, and the aim is to strike a balance between legal theory, constitutional imperatives, commercial realities and the needs of practice.
