In Sponono, Alan Paton's recent play, a message spelled out somewhat clumsily in the last act leaves the spectator breathless. The message is addressed by the African black man to the African white man: “You are responsible for us,” it tells him; “you are, whether you like it or not, your brother's keeper. You must help and admonish us, but you must also endlessly forgive because we are bound together for better or for worse.” This may be defective logic but it is realistic psychology. Those of us in the Western world who imagined that tomorrow or next year the Union of South Africa may break up in the fire of a revolution, or change radically its raciallegal structure know little about the real situation and its extraordinary complexity.

Women have historically been the most marginalised groups in South Africa, as their political, social, and economic circumstances are precarious. South Africa's post-apartheid constitution has several provisions to protect women's human rights, however enforcing the constitutional responsibilities remains a difficulty owing to different constraints. This paper deals with the status of human rights of women in post apartheid South Africa. The purpose of this paper is to analyse constitutional and legal provisions for the protection of socio – economic and political human rights of women. It also attempts to explore the real situation of women’s rights in independent South Africa. The article concludes some suggestions to overcome the challenges against women’s human rights in South Africa particularly after the apartheid era.

This study examined the effect exchange rates have on import and export volumes under alternative exchange rate policies adopted in South Africa over the period 1960 to 2017. Using quarterly time series data for the stated period, a log-linear error correction model is employed to estimate the country’s export and import elasticities, taking into account Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the real price of exports, the real price of imports and real exchange rates. Using the freely floating exchange rate regime as the base period, the study concluded that both export and import volumes are lower under a system of fixed exchange rates. Export and import volumes were also found to be lower under the dual exchange rate regime, relative to the freely floating exchange rate regime. In accordance with export-led growth strategies, exports were found to be higher and imports lower under a managed floating exchange rate regime. It is therefore recommended that South Africa revert to a more managed exchange rate regime, until the South African economy is developed to accommodate a freely floating exchange rate regime.

In a Compelling Reading of Sol Plaatje's Native Life in South Africa, Bhekizizwe Peterson Remarks on the Work's Inscription of multiple imagined readers with different investments in the narrative (79). Quoting from Jean-Paul Sartre's reflections on the intricacies of addressing fractured, and sometimes future, publics, Peterson writes:[T]he works of writers who find themselves on the “margin of the privileged class” contain a “double simultaneous postulation,” a consequence of the “fracture” in the “actual public” in which their art is produced and consumed. Because the “real public” consists largely of the conservative forces that compose the dominant class and ideology, the marginal writer is compelled to address “the progressive forces, or the virtual public” even if “the oppressed classes have neither the leisure nor the taste for reading.” In engaging the future and its virtual public—“an emptiness to be filled in, an aspiration”—the writing exceeds its actual limits and extends itself step by step to the infinite.

The provision of high-quality and timely emergency psychological assistance to minors is possible only in the conditions of a built system of interdepartmental interaction. The proposed methodological recommendations include consideration of organizational and procedural aspects of interdepartmental interaction in the provision of emergency psychological assistance on key problems of modern childhood and are based on international experience and regional practice. For the purpose of practical study of the issue, standard regulations and accompanying documents have been developed and proposed, which can be used by specialists in the field, taking into account regional specifics and the real situation, including the availability of specialists from various departments.

Abstract The use of magic effects to investigate the blind spots in the attention and perception and roadblocks in the cognition of the spectator has yielded thought-provoking results elucidating how these techniques operate. However, little is known about the interplay between experience practising magic and being deceived by magic effects. In this study, we performed two common sleight of hand effects and their real transfer counterparts to non-magicians, and to magicians with a diverse range of experience practising magic. Although, as a group, magicians identified the sleights of hand as deceptive actions significantly more than non-magicians; this ability was only evidenced in magicians with more than 5 years in the craft. However, unlike the rest of the participants, experienced magicians had difficulty correctly pinpointing the location of the coin in one of the real transfers presented. We hypothesise that this might be due to the inherent ambiguity of this transfer, in which, contrary to the other real transfer performed, no clear perceptive clue is given about the location of the coin. We suggest that extensive time practising magic might have primed experienced magicians to anticipate foul play when observing ambiguous movements, even when the actions observed are genuine.
