Abstract

Research shows that the inaccurate translation of indigenous witness statements is a global phenomenon. This study was conducted to gain a better understanding of this phenomenon by exploring the experiences of South African Police Service (SAPS) members in taking indigenous witness statements. Using a qualitative method, interview schedules were administered to eighteen (18) SAPS members from nine Community Service Centres (CSC) in a township in the Gauteng province. Ethical considerations and measures of trustworthiness were applied to the study. Data were analyzed using Atlas.ti. The results showed that a majority of SAPS members reported there were no translators stationed at the designated CSCs, so they collaborated with colleagues to transcribe the indigenous witness statements into English. Five dominant themes emerged from the most regularly repeated responses: "skills," "collaboration," "resources," "duration," and "language." The Theory of Performance (ToP) was used to articulate these themes. Findings indicated that the SAPS members' levels of performance were influenced by their skills, available resources, time, and their collaboration in overcoming language challenges when transcribing indigenous witness statements. The conclusion drawn from this study is that the lack of translators at CSCs impacts the accuracy of indigenous witness statement translations, which is mitigated by the collaboration and skills of SAPS members. This research contributes to understanding the challenges faced in the translation process of indigenous witness statements and highlights the importance of providing adequate resources and training to improve police performance in this context.

Abstract

Acts of gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF) are among the most common forms of violence in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in South Africa and are estimated to affect the lives, health and wellbeing of many people. The scourge of GBVF has in numerous studies and statistics shown to be on the rise. This paper has been conducted to assess the impact of GBVF attacks. A comprehensive search was undertaken for GBVF in HEIs research conducted and published between 2013 and 2023. Literature indexes in various databases were searched. Search terms were GBVF, health, healthcare, and higher education. The meta-analysis approach was used to conduct the methodological review. A sample of 38 research articles and 5 reports that met the inclusion criteria were analysed. A systematic iterative method was employed to extract and reduce the data to draw conclusions. The findings highlighted that GBVF attacks do not affect a person physically only, but they also affect a person’s emotions and health. Becoming aware of factors contributing to access to access to health care services and strategies to address challenges can minimise the occurrence of GBVF in HEIs. Contribution: understanding the impact of GBVF attacks can reduce such attacks.
