Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to conceptually analyse and demonstrate the implications of solar panels towards crime prevention in the University of Limpopo. It argues that the development of solar panels as a strategy for the University of Limpopo can increase and reduce criminal incidents, and for the campus to save costs and supply renewable energy sources to the community of Mankweng. Crime in South Africa has been an issue of contention in institutions of higher learning, businesses, and the society at large. This article examines the factors behind the implications of solar panels towards crime prevention, role of solar panels in crime deterrence and implementation of solar panels influences safety and control. Furthermore, the paper underscores the potential outcomes of this trend on student-staff safety and the environment. The concern is great deal on criminal incidents within the University of Limpopo that occur at night during loadshedding. This leads to robbery, break-ins, rape and other criminal activities that occurs at night during power cuts. As a result, it is not a shock that most students on campus struggle to keep up with their academic workload during loadshedding at night and leaves student accommodation vulnerable in dark hours. It is evident that solar panels offer a clean and abundant source of power. This is a conceptual paper that depends heavily on qualitative approach to conceptually demonstrate the implications of solar panels towards crime prevention in the University of Limpopo which ultimately threatens student-staff safety. Hence, this paper recommends that the installation of solar panels in all institutions of higher learning would ultimately assist in curbing some of the criminal elements not only in the University of Limpopo.

Abstract

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have come under scrutiny for not sharing their substantial resources and immediate support with nearby communities. As a result, they should not be seen as deviating from the main goals of HEIs in terms of active research, teaching and learning, or scholarship. Therefore, HEIs must reach out to assist nearby communities to raise the profile of the latter, foster its growth, and provide the social capital necessary for sustainable development. This research makes a case that HEIs and communities should establish a collaboration to promote rapid gains in the diversification of the communities' sources of income. HEIs should assist the surrounding communities, aid in community empowerment, enhance the quality of life, and act as change agents to address socioeconomic conditions. The paper draws on existing literature and reports to explore each of the roles of HEIs in community engagement in South African communities. Different databases like Google, Google Scholar, Scopus, AOSIS, ProQuest, and university repositories utilised to search data. Themes were developed and used to search the data until completion. The Thematic Content Analysis (TCA) approach was applied. Additionally, the research is supported by observation and real-world experience. The Social Capital Theory is acknowledged in this article to create the foundation of its argument. The conclusion that can be derived from this research is that for successful transformation and growth, HEIs and communities must work together amicably.
