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.
