Abstract

This paper attempted to examine the narratives and debates around Undocumented migration, cross border crime and the securitization and militarization of South Africa’s borders. Adopting a systematic review of literature, this paper attempted to add to the growing literature around this highly politicized issue. This paper revealed that Undocumented migration and cross border crime are not serious issues that pose a threat to the country's socio-economic development let alone its national security. The drive to securitize these issues has been driven by politicians who seek voters and who use migrants as political scapegoats. This paper contends that rather than investing millions on border securitization and militarization, such monies will be well spent on health, education, social welfare and infrastructure development. Finally, this paper argues that unilateral approaches to border security are bound to fail because the factors driving Undocumented migration and cross border crime are multifaceted and beyond South Africa's control. Hence regional cooperation becomes key. Securitization and militarization approaches don’t stop migration and border crime, rather migrants and crime syndicates always find ways to go around such approaches.

Abstract

This paper examines the importance of entrepreneurship education in South Africa's primary education sector. The paper argues that the consolidation of entrepreneurship education at primary and high school levels in South Africa can contribute to socio-economic development but also help address issues such as poverty inequality and youth unemployment. This paper employed Schumpeter's Theory of Innovation and the Need for Achievement Theory as a theoretical lens. A systematic literature review was employed as a research approach in this paper. Five databases were used to search for data. The paper revealed that entrepreneurship education had not been fully consolidated in South Africa's primary education sector, significantly depriving learners of innovative skills and competencies to help them become entrepreneurs tomorrow. The paper recommends that the government accelerate the inclusion of entrepreneurship as a standalone subject in the primary education sector so that by the time learners graduate from high school and enter university, they have a deep understanding of entrepreneurship, which increases their chances of becoming entrepreneurs, thus contributing to the country's socio-economic development.

Abstract

The study's primary goal was to assess the role of public participation in developing the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) in a selected Municipality in South Africa. Local government remains vital for inclusive development in post-apartheid South Africa. To address the long-lasting effects of apartheid, the African National Congress-led government greatly emphasised local government as it was the closest developmental sector to the people. Hence it had to become important in the country's quest for inclusive development in the post-apartheid era. To answer the objectives of this study, a qualitative research approach was employed, and a purposive sampling method was used as a sampling measure. The research approach was essential to ensure the study gained in-depth narratives and arguments, which proved crucial in helping the study produce reliable results. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to acquire the required data. The findings revealed that most of the public participates in developing IDPs, but some still need to be made aware of the importance of public participation. In addition, the inaccuracy of relevant information regarding public participation in the IDP process prevents members of the public from actively participating in the IDP process. Hence this study recommends that the municipality consider developing programmes to increase public participation in exercising citizens' democratic rights. This would help increase awareness of IDP and how citizens can participate.

Abstract

The development and expansion of any continent's economy is mostly dependent on the availability of world-class infrastructure capable of attracting international investors. The development and expansion of Africa's infrastructure is imperative; hence this will improve the African economy. The development and expansion of infrastructure improves the economy, resulting in many economic prospects for the inhabitants of any continent. However, in Africa, infrastructure development, investment, and preservation are among the lowest in the world. Infrastructure development will not only attract foreign investment and business, but it will also enhance trade between countries within the region. Trade between countries within the region is also heavily impacted by poor infrastructure investment in the continent, this puts much limit economic prospects within the region. This is a major concern; thus, Africa has several deficiencies in transport, telecommunications, water, health, and education infrastructures, all of which are crucial for Africa development. This is one of the main reasons why Africa has the highest levels of unemployment, poverty, food insecurity, migration, and poor education and health care systems. The author contends that investments and development in the African regional infrastructure are relatively low. This is a major barrier to regional economic development since the development of the region's economy relies on the development of infrastructure. This is unfortunate; hence, the region economy already lacks capabilities to provide the people with economic opportunities.  A qualitative method was used to investigate what is preventing infrastructure development in Africa and what this means for Africa as a developing continent.
