It is therefore necessary to ensure that all colleges and universities have policies regarding sexual assault and development of preventive programmes should be a national issue. The present study sought to investigate the strategies used by university students to report and prevent sexual assault. A survey was conducted. Simple random sampling was used to select 37 participants. The participants...

This paper examines student mobility in South Africa via the narratives of three immigrant students who are registered for a post-graduate degree at the University of Kwazulu-Natal (UKZN). Their narratives highlight the complexities of assimilation and accommodation in the context of identity, belonging and citizenship. For many student immigrants, particularly from within Africa, South Africa is seen as the ‘New York’ of Africa, with good infrastructure, a highly developed educational...

The purpose of this study was to propose a structural model to explain and predict teachers’ ICT usage behaviour based on the interrelationships among subjective norm, job relevance, computer self-efficacy, perceptions of facilitating conditions, perceived enjoyment and perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude towards technology, behavioural intention and ICT usage (as endogenous variables). The theoretical underpinning of the study was established from the Theory of Reasoned...

U–Pb LA-ICP-MS analyses on zircon extracted from felsic ignimbrites and sandstones of the Bas Draâ succession (BDS) constrain the post Pan-African evolution in the Anti-Atlas (AA) at the northern margin of Gondwana. The 2000-m-thick Ediacaran BDS consists of four volcanic units including: (i) rhyolitic ignimbrite sheets (AO I); (ii) high-silica andesitic and rhyolitic lavas (AO II); (iii) silica-poor lava and pyroclastics (AO III); and (iv) rhyolitic lava dome complexes (AO IV). AO III is...

The equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA), inferred from the electron density profile, was used to study the ionospheric effect of 11 March 2011, 06 April 2011, 09 March 2012 and 01 October 2012 geomagnetic storms in the East African sector. The electron density profile was reconstructed from slant total electron content (sTEC) measurements using statistical linear inversion method. The sTEC measurements were recorded by a chain of ten ground-based GPS receivers deployed in the East African...
