Governance concerns have been in facade of society both in South Africa and in the rest of the world. These concerns have been raised at various levels such as public sector, private sector, and even within sports and recreation. The South African media have also heightened the exposure of incidents whenever gross violation of good governance principles occurred. The sport fraternity, particularly football, is not immune to this scourge. In the South African context, very little research has been done to look into the governance trajectories concerning sports organisations. As a result, this paper will consider how the Gauteng football clubs that are affiliated with the South African Football Association (SAFA) perceive issues of governance and those that concern social responsibility. Qualitative data in a form of semi-structured interviews was used. A total of 12 executive managers participated in the study. Atlas ti was used to analyse data deductively.The findings seem to suggest that the clubs are aware and supportive of good governance principles, ethics and issues of social responsibility. Calls are made to SAFA and its structures, government and the corporate sector to instil good governance principles and support social initiatives within their surroundings. Moreover, families and communities were encouraged to raise the bar in terms of improving the moral capital of society.

Methodological Principles

This study aimed to identify embedded drivers of organisational resilience through examination of stakeholders’ perceptions of the interaction between quality assurance and corporate governance in the South African aviation industry. The study followed the methodological principles of qualitative content analysis to collect and analyse data from semi-structured interviews conducted among a convenience sample of 26 stakeholders to the South African aviation industry. A fragmented relationship between quality assurance and corporate governance in the South African aviation industry was identified. Dissonance between quality assurance and corporate governance reduces an organisation’s ability to remain resilient. Principles and practices associated with quality assurance and corporate governance stimulate underlying resilience. The study provided a framework promoting organisational resilience derived from participants’ perceptions on quality assurance and corporate governance principles in the South African aviation industry. This contribution harmonised multiple disciplines of existing management systems into a practical and synergised unit to simultaneously overcome fragmented cooperation between quality assurance and corporate governance and stimulate resilience. As the aviation industry provides a service to the public and serves as a platform for economic development of other industries, the insight associated with this study transcends the aviation industry itself.

The decline in the number of clothing manufacturers and the effect of globalisation have contributed to complexities in estimations and the scheduling of demand, as well as lead time management in the South African clothing industry. This article explores demand planning factors affecting the South African clothing industry, with specific reference to Gauteng. The study was necessitated due to demand planning challenges facing the South African clothing industry as well as economic factors which contribute to inaccuracies in clothing demand planning. The study makes an impact in the garment production factories of Gauteng in South Africa and adds to the philosophy of demand planning practices. It uncovers key factors affecting demand planning practices in the Gauteng clothing industry, South Africa. The study is explorative and descriptive in nature and it uses SPSS to analyse data. The findings revealed that there were factors affecting how demand planning practices were conducted in the clothing industry. The factors that have a significant influence on clothing demand planning include the scheduling of the manufacturing of customers’ orders, planning for fashion clothes, the use of the POS system, clothing imports, estimating future clothing requirements, recession and the effect of the late arrival of clothes. Therefore, clothing industry stakeholders should take these factors into consideration when planning for their demand to ensure customer needs can be fully met, thus improving the performance of the clothing industry.

This article introduces the special edition. I characterize the edition as representing an intersection between the historical trajectories described by the South African Journal of Psychology and the ongoing series of Qualitative Methods Conferences hosted by local psychology departments. With reference to the rhetoric used to introduce previous special editions of the SAJP, the papers presented at the first and second Qualitative Methods Conferences, and the articles included in this edition, I suggest that the SAJP may be en route from a technicist understanding of knowledge accumulation to a more politically aware, contextual view, while the Qualitative Methods Conferences may be in the process of increasing academic co-optation.
