Contrairement aux adeptes de !'instruction publique que sont les Français, les Anglo-saxons ont une conception de l'enseignement qui inclut à la fois !'instruction et l'éducation, l'objectif étant toujours de former un individu accompli dans la tradition des acquis du Liberal Arts Education . Raison pour laquelle, la religion est demeurée longtemps une discipline à part entière dans le curriculum de l'enseignement dans la partie anglophone du Cameroun. Il faut cependant garder à l'esprit qu'au-delà de ce qui peut apparaitre comme approches discordantes des missionnaires chrétiens en situation coloniale, catholiques, protestants et autres presbytériens semblent avoir été toujours d'accord sur la nature sacrée de leur mission de conversion et de diffusion de la civilisation occidentale en pays de mission. Dommage que les dirigeants camerounais n'aient jamais réussi à s'inspirer de la démarche ci-dessus et à adopter une ligne de conduite un tant soit peu patriotique. Les politiciens postcoloniaux ont constamment fait montre d'un déconcertant opportunisme. Il peut certes leur arriver de solliciter publiquement ou officieusement l'Eglise à travers ses princes locaux pour accompagner les pouvoirs publics dans la résolution des conflits sociopolitiques. Mais par moments, ils n'hésiteront pas à leur rappeler que l'Eglise ne doit pas se mêler de politique. Elle doit se cantonner dans les affaires spirituelles, oubliant l'un des enseignements les plus mémorables de Mgr Ndongmo, à savoir qu' on ne peut pas conduire les hommes au ciel comme si la terre n'existait pas.

Five days before Christmas, Detective Sergeant Emmanuel Cooper sits at his desk at the Johannesburg major crimes squad, ready for his holiday in Mozambique. A call comes in: a respectable, white couple has been assaulted and left for dead in their bedroom. The couple's teenage daughter identifies the attacker as Aaron Shabalala-the youngest son of Zulu Detective Constable Samuel Shabalala-Cooper's best friend and a man to whom he owes his life. The Detective Branch isn't interested in evidence that might contradict their star witness's story, especially so close to the holidays. Determined to ensure justice for Aaron, Cooper, Shabalala, and their trusted friend Dr Daniel Zweigman hunt down the truth. Their investigation uncovers a violent world of Sophiatown gangs, thieves, and corrupt government officials who will do anything to keep their dark world intact.

Mario Antoine explores the origin and development of football in Malawi, previously known as Nyasland, in this book.Little is known about the humble beginnings of Malawi football and how two separate associations for Europeans and Africans drove its development. With other countries such as South Africa, Southern Rhodesia, and Mauritius also having separate associations, this was not uncommon.The author highlights how the British, who travelled overseas to work and as missionaries, played a critical role in introducing football to Nyasland and other countries. After the British colony attained independence in 1964 and changed its name to Malawi, the sport continued to grow in popularity.As the years went by, apart from selected matches, games were played on a regular basis among Southern Region clubs, which formed the Indian Sport Club in 1920, followed by the Goans Club in 1928. Some of the families that pioneered the formation of the European association known as Nyasaland Football Association still grace the shores of this land today.

In Johannesburg, South Africa, two strangers, both of them from other countries, struggle to fulfill the dreams that urged them to leave home. Osas puts what little he has into ascertaining the papers that will permit him to enter South Africa from his homeland of Nigeria, only to learn that life has dealt him another harsh blow. With no other prospects, he befriends a fellow countryman, a known criminal. Chamai, a Canadina-Zimbabwean has come to South Africa to further his education, but when his financial resources dry up, he turns to sex work to make enough money to eat. In The Strangers of Braamfontein, Onyeka Nwelue pits the aspirations of those always striving for more against the realities of the immigrant experience.

Unmaking Migrants engages critical questions about preventing trafficking by preventing migration through a study of a shelter for trafficking victims in Lagos, Nigeria. Over the past fifteen years, antitrafficking personnel have stopped thousands of women from traveling out of Nigeria and instead sent them to the federal counter-trafficking agency for investigation, protection, and rehabilitation. Government officials defend this form of intervention as preemptive, having intercepted the women before any abuses take place. Yet many of the women protest their detention, insist they were not being trafficked, and demand to be released. As Stacey Vanderhurst argues, migration can be a freely made choice. Unmaking Migrants shows the moments leading up to the migration choice, and it shows how well-intentioned efforts to help women considering these paths often don't address their real needs at all.

"Love from Manenberg" richtet den Blick auf das Leben im südafrikanischen Manenberg, insbesondere auf die Erfahrungen von Frauen und ihren Kindern. Das Werk schafft Raum für komplexe Narrative, die von den Medien ignoriert werden, und zeigt, wie Familien in die Zukunft blicken, wie sie Freude, Kummer und Alltagswirklichkeit eines Lebens in einer von Bandenkriminalität geplagten Gemeinschaft tragen. Sarah Stacke fotografierte Manenberg, eine Wohnsiedlung in Kapstadt, erstmals im Juni 2011. Über zehn Jahre haben die Frauen der Familien Lottering, Pietersen und Adams ihr Leben mit ihr geteilt, ihr Einblick in die Struktur, Eintracht und Tröstlichkeit ihres Zuhauses gewährt. Der Buchtitel spiegelt die Liebe, die diese Frauen verkörpern, beschreibt aber auch die Beziehungen, die zwischen ihnen und der Fotografin entstanden sind. Mittlerweile sind ihre Leben miteinander verwoben.

Ordinary people, not just the famous, create the history of a country. As a background to three true stories, A Tale of Four Countries describes the political evolution and unrest that erupted in southern Africa and in Northern Ireland during the latter part of the twentieth century. The book explores the impact of political change upon the daily lives of Seán Cassidy, who emigrated from Ireland to South Africa in 1967; marine biologist Carlos dos Santos, a native-born resident of Mozambique, and Michael Fitzsimons, an English-born teacher who emigrated to Southern Rhodesia in 1954.

This enlightening book focuses on the history of how the ethnic groups of Africa, eventually joined by white colonizers from Europe, created the seedbed for the hateful apartheid system in Southern Africa. The reader learns how apartheid began, the dehumanizing effects it had on the black population, and how it was finally abolished in its 'zero hour' in 1994. Written by historian, writer and researcher Geoffrey Hebdon, this is the second in a series that covers the experience of a British citizen who emigrated to South Africa during that era, and records in vivid detail his responses to the apartheid system and how South Africa and neighbouring countries evolved after apartheid was abolished.As well as the first European settlers and the white Afrikaners' attempted enslavement of the black population, the book also covers the Zulu wars, the Anglo-Boer wars and individuals who supported apartheid such as Cecil Rhodes and the whites-only National Party of South Africa. Also covered are prominent leaders of the African National Congress (ANC) and the black revolutionaries who fought against apartheid, many of whom gave their lives or served life sentences for their "struggle", including Nelson Mandela, who became South Africa's first black president after serving years in prison.

Master's Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, Kenyatta University, course: MASTERS OF ECONOMICS (POLICY & MANAGEMENT), language: English, abstract: This study seeks to determine the relationship between economic growth and child labour in Kenya. This was first undertaken by determining the causality between economic growth and child labour in Kenya.In 2017, the International Labour Organization reiterated that elimination of worst forms of child labour has been recognized to be critical pertaining to social and economic development sustainability. Child labour will continue to persist from now on and several decades to come in the Kenyan economy if not curbed. Kenyäs Gross Domestic Product increased rapidly from 18.7 billion US $ in 2005, to 63.8 billion US $ in 2015. Child labour rose steadily from 2.4 million child labourers in 2005 to 3.7 million child labourers in 2015, despite positive increment in Kenyäs Gross Domestic Product in Kenya from 2005 to 2015. From trends discussed in chapter one, it appears that positive increases in economic growth levels alone cannot be the only means to help in reducing or eliminating child labour in Kenya. Kenyäs Gross Development Product has been increasing since 1980 to 2017 amidst fluctuations. Despite positive growth in Kenyäs Gross Domestic Product, there is still an increase in child labour. The Toda-Yamamoto modified Granger causality (non-causality) model was fitted with time series data for the period 1980 to 2017. The estimated results revealed that there was no causality running from child labour to GDP in Kenya. Furthermore, there was causality running from GDP to child labour in Kenya. To establish the existence of a long run relationship between economic growth and child labour in Kenya, the unrestricted conditional error correction model was used in which economic growth was the dependent variable. The explanatory variables were child labour, investment in human capital, international trade openness, population growth and foreign direct investment. The estimation results revealed that a long run relationship existed between economic growth and child labour in Kenya. To determine the short run effects of child labour to economic growth in Kenya, the restricted error correction model was used in which economic growth was the dependent variable.The estimation results revealed that the coefficient of child labour was statistically significant in affecting economic growth of Kenya in the short run. From the empirical results, it was concluded that there was no causality running from child labour to GDP in Kenya where GDP was the dependent.

Trade between China and Africa is increasing year on year, while the Westincreasingly debates the nature and implications of China's presence. Yetlittle research exists at the organizational and community levels. Whilewestern press reporting is overwhelmingly negative, African governmentsmostly welcome the Chinese presence. But what happens at themanagement level? How are Chinese organizations run? What are theybringing to communities? What is their impact on the local job market?How do they manage staff? How are they working with local firms? This book seeks to provide a theoretical framework for understandingChinese organizations and management in Africa and to explore howtheir interventions are playing out at the organizational and communitylevels in sub-Saharan Africa. Based on rigorous empirical researchexploring emerging themes in specific African countries, this book developsimplications for management knowledge, education and trainingprovision, and policy formulation. Importantly it seeks to inform futurescholarship on China's management impact in the world generally, onAfrica's future development, and on international and cross-culturalmanagement scholarship. Primarily aimed at scholars of international management, with aninterest in China and/or in China in Africa, this important book will alsobe of great interest to those working in the area of development studies,international politics, and international relations.

First published in 1910, "Khont-Hon-Nofer - The Lands of Ethiopia" is a fascinating account of the author's experiences journeying through central Africa on missionary work. He pays special attention to religious and ethical questions throughout, exploring day-to-day life on the continent at the turn of the twentieth century. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in African life, history, and culture; and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature.

Der systematische Vergleich zweier Grenzregionen im südlichen Afrika bzw. in Nordamerika in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts leistet mit Analysen zu Funktionsmechanismen imperialer Staatsbildung sowie zum interkulturellen Zusammenleben einen Beitrag zur Imperialgeschichte. Bei diesem dezentralen, peripheren Ansatz wird die besondere Prägung von Akteuren und Strukturen durch den spezifischen politischen Raum, der imperialen Grenzregion, deutlich. Politische und kulturelle Aspekte des illegalen Waffenhandels und seiner Akteure stehen im Vordergrund. Beide stellten sowohl ein stabilisierendes als auch ein destabilisierendes Element in der staatlichen Durchdringung der imperialen Grenzregion dar, abhängig von den Interessen und dem Vorgehen der beteiligten Akteure, welche von der lokalen politischen und wirtschaftlichen Situation beeinflusst waren.
