Academic Literacy is an essential tool for people moving into the tertiary phase of education, to support the achievement of their goals. It covers all the necessary academic skills and competencies for constructive and successful study – not only reading, writing, listening and verbal communication, but also critical thinking, possibly the core skill needed at this level of study.

Other skills it aims to develop are: understanding and engaging in academic study; vocabulary; reading for study purposes; argument; paraphrasing and summarising; writing paragraphs; assignment writing; and preparing for examinations. Academic Literacy will help you cope with the reading and writing demands of further and higher education.

It will also help you be more knowledgeable about yourself, your aspirations, career goals, and how to manage your time and stress more effectively.

There are also references to other academic comment as well as to case law.

When a blonde who had walked out on her Botswana-based wildlife smuggling kingpin partner arrived at the offices of the Sunday Times in the last 1980’s, the lid would be blown off a criminal network bent on killing off two of the world’s most iconic species – the elephant and the rhino.

Using trucks to transport contraband across borders to curio shops fronting as legitimate operate operations, the syndicate operated with free abandon, until their nefarious activities were revealed through investigations by journalist De Wet Potgieter. It was because of the information supplied by Brenda Voue that De Wet was inundated with so much information about the involvement of local and foreign criminal networks, senior military officials propping up the Jonas Savimbi’s war in Angola, and senior National Party officials that he authored not only several more newspaper articles on the plight of rhino and elephant, but also produced the first edition of Contraband in 1995. Since then, a plethora of information continues to come to light about the involvement of government officials, international spies, British undercover operatives, businesspeople, and criminal elements.

This is an exposure of the depths to which certain people would go to literally enjoy a piece of the pie. The commercial international rhino horn trade has been banned by the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) for more than 45 years. In South Africa, the domestic trade in rhino horn has been legal since 2017 opening loopholes from criminal syndicates to “legally” purchase rhino horn, but then still smuggle it out of the country for traditional uses in the Far East. The involvement of criminal operations such as the Triads cannot be ignored, nor can the pressure pre- and post-apartheid on the South African police’s highly successful Endangered Species Protection Unit under Colonel Piet Lategan, which resulted it its eventual demise. It’s an inescapable fact that the onslaught on South Africa’s rhino, and on other wildlife within the Southern African region, will continue despite the commitment and tenacity of several individuals and nongovernment organisations.

The onus has now shifted to the custodians of rhino – national parks, game reserves, private game ranchers and private rhino owners – to protect these prehistoric beasts from extinction.

Satan tries to corrupt every good thing that God gives us, and he often succeeds at this through our own ignorance and complacency. In Ultimate Truth and Lies, author Adelle Yvette Potgieter exposes the web of lies that Satan has spun to ensnare believers and unbelievers alike. In turn, she counters those lies and their consequences with the real truths about God. Part I provides an overview of topics relating to varied aspects of our daily lives, such as poverty and suffering; religion and custom; destiny, purpose, and choice; gender, marriage, and sex; emotion; and forgiveness. It challenges traditional mainstream thinking and shows that manmade rules, inspired by Satan, deny the opportunity for happy, fulfilling lives. Part II focuses on self-development exercises and explores issues such as anger, rage, sadness, and negative thoughts that impact our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Potgieter offers skills to change your life for the better. Part III is a collection of thought-provoking poems that will inspire the reader and invites reflection of personal life truths. Ultimate Truth and Lies challenges you to examine your life. Are you living as a victim of Satan or as a victorious spiritual warrior of the living God? A happy life is yours for the taking by accepting the responsibility and undertaking the work necessary to reach that goal.

Nadat Ockert en Michele Potgieter getroud is, het hulle hul tasse gepak en vertrek Oekraïne toe, nie vir hulle wittebrood nie, maar om daar te werk onder die mense wat onlangs bevry is van agter die ystergordyn.

Dit is egter ’n groot ontnugtering vir Michele in die begin – dit is yskoud in die winter en snikwarm in die somer. Die meeste huise het net buitetoilette en daar is min verskeidenheid in basiese kruideniersware. Die mense is baie vriendelik en hulle word meestal met oop arms verwelkom. Maar alles is nie altyd maklik nie, daar is ’n noue ontkoming met die mafia, agtervolging deur die KGB en verraad van binne die gemeente. Dan sterf Ockert tydens die Covid 19-pandemie tydens ’n besoek aan Suid-Afrika. Michele moet besluit of sy teruggaan Oekraïne toe, waar ’n oorlog dreig en of sy in Suid-Afrika by haar mense en haar kinders bly.

Dit is ’n aangrypende verhaal oor liefde: liefde vir God, vir die mense van die Oekraïne, maar ook die liefde tussen Michele, Ockert en hul kinders.

The emerging field of positive psychology has received increasing recognition in the South African context, as seen by the rapidly growing volume of South African research and its inclusion in various undergraduate training programmes at South African tertiary institutions. How do we live the good life? How do we care? What is a life well lived? What is happiness and what is a meaningful life? Is it possible to thrive and flourish in life with all its brokenness, challenges and pain? Towards flourishing is a unique South African textbook that attempts to find scientific answers to the above questions and to explore the assumptions behind them. Towards flourishing: contextualising positive psychology reflects on the different facets or components (the what) of well-being, the surrounding explanations and theories, and how to enhance well-being in individuals and groups (i.e. the application of scientific knowledge in practice and the evaluation of its outcomes). Contents include the following: Feeling good and functioning well, and its benefits; Harmonising hedonic and eudaimonic perspectives on well-being; Bio-psychosocial facets of well-being; Theories on character strengths, resilience, hope, meaning, self-determination and more; Positive relations, societies and institutions; Well-being and global trends, differences and comparisons; Activities to enhance well-being. Towards flourishing aims to be accessible to a broad market, in particular undergraduate students at universities, colleges and other tertiary institutions where positive psychology forms part of the curriculum.
