RUI CARLOS DE NORONHA ASSUBUJI Department: Supervisor:

HISTORY PROF P HAYES

Thesis: A visual struggle for Mozambique, Revisiting narratives, interpreting photographs (1850-1930) Description: During the ‘Pacification Campaigns’ in Mozambique from the 1890s to World War 1, Portugal marshalled photography as part of its knowledge-producing apparatus. Rui Assubuji examines the impact of these visual archives on existing historiography. He explores the obsessive circulation of portraits of the ‘Lion of Gaza,’ Ngungunyane, and dissects the photographic record of campaigns in Barwe and then against the Germans during World War 1 to expose unsuspected detail around black soldiering and imperial exaggeration.

Assubuji lays down new tracks in the field of African visual history through his conceptualisation of ‘photographic ellipsis’ to analyse non-linear historical time, and ‘visual dissonances’ to articulate the contradictory pulls of vying evidences within a single frame.

Thesis: Reading and writing across academic cultures: Using a social literacies approach to account for the experiences of Libyan students in South African higher education Description: As South Africa continues to be an important study destination for students from other parts of Africa, new vistas of research opportunities in cross-cultural academic literacies are opening up. Burka’s thesis contributes to this scholarship by analysing the academic literacy experiences of Libyans studying at South African universities. She shows how different academic cultures may shape the academic literacy experiences of international students.

Her findings have implications for the development of internationalisation strategies at South African universities.

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY PAUL DANKERS Department: Supervisor:

RELIGION AND THEOLOGY PROF E CONRADIE

Thesis: The two natures of Christ: A critical analysis of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Christology Description: The renowned German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) died as a martyr following an attempt to assassinate Hitler. Several UWC students explored his significance for the church struggle against apartheid, including Johan Botha and Russel Botman. In 2020 the International Bonhoeffer Society met at UWC to discuss his continuing legacy. Paul Dankers takes the debate forward by focusing on Bonhoeffer’s Christology, a core theme in his oeuvre. Bonhoeffer’s famous emphasis on the presence of Christ in the world through the church and on a worldly Christianity raises the question whether he does justice to both the human and the divine natures of Christ. Dankers meticulously follows the continuity and dramatic shifts in Bonhoeffer’s life and theology to show that this is indeed the case.

PHILOSOPHY DR O OYOWE

Thesis: National Health Insurance (NHI) - towards universal health care coverage for all in South Africa: A philosophical analysis Description: The study is a philosophical analysis of the National Health Insurance (NHI) and a historical survey of policy documents issued by the South African government in relation to universal healthcare coverage (UHC). The central argument is that UHC is best realised independently of the private healthcare sector. It consists in two specific claims. First, relevant policy documents betray deep ideological tensions in the self-understanding of the ANC. Second, the NHI embodies these tensions. Specifically, it implausibly seeks to incorporate the private healthcare sector in offering free healthcare to the public. It challenges a neoliberal approach, which threatens the NHI’s aim to provide access to healthcare, by commercialising the right to healthcare and treating it as a tradeable commodity.

Thesis: The role of school libraries in supporting an inquiry-based approach for teaching and learning science subjects in senior secondary schools in Ekiti State, Nigeria Description: The study investigated the role of school libraries in supporting an inquiry-based approach for teaching and learning science subjects in senior secondary schools in Ekiti State, Nigeria. The significance of this study revolves round the prominence given to science education being a mechanism for realising national advancement in Nigeria. The study’s population comprised school librarians, principals, science teachers, science students as well as major stakeholders in education associated with the provision, management and utilisation of library resources for science curricula implementation. Data collection instruments included questionnaires, interviews, observation and document analysis. Results showed that no library staff had a relevant qualification, libraries were filled with textbooks, many outdated and no other resources, and inquiry-based approaches to teaching science were virtually non-existent.

FERNANDA PINTO DE ALMEIDA Department: Supervisor:

HISTORY PROF P LALU

Thesis: Making sense of the bioscope: The experience of cinemas in Twentieth Century Cape Town Description: Fernanda’s thesis offers an analysis of the space and infrastructure of cinema houses or bioscopes in twentieth-century Cape Town. Her study maps the historical formations of cinema audiences from the Union’s control in the 1910s to the end of Apartheid’s Separate Amenities in the late 1980s, and examines how cinemas promoted a collective form of experience while eschewing both segregationist and liberal policies. She specifically asks: how did cinema forge audiences and political sentiment by mobilizing the senses? How was the public threat posed by early film halls seemingly appeased by the suburban multiplex? De Almeida suggests that cinemas eluded spatial boundaries by attracting audiences across racial ‘communities’ and redefined public reception of mass media. Showing how cinemas were implicated in Cape Town’s racial geography and the city’s incipient public sphere, she argues that the cinema represented both racial arrest and potential for political change.

Thesis: Evaluating the expansion of community based rehabilitation into the physiotherapy curriculum in Ahfad University for Women, Sudan Description: Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) is used globally, to address the lack of access for People with Disabilities (PwD) to rehabilitation services. The aim of Hassan’s thesis was to investigate the CBR components of the current physiotherapy undergraduate curriculum at, Ahfad University for Women. Within the framework of constructive alignment, the exploration of this topic included determining the needs of people with disabilities as well as the opinions of CBR experts as important components to inform the curriculum. Contextualised within the WHO’s CBR Matrix, the thesis revealed that in addition to the health and education component, livelihoods and empowerment, were also deemed important to provide students with the necessary knowledge, skills and competencies to engage with CBR.

PHYSIOTHERAPY PROF A RHODA

Thesis: Development of contextual model for in-patient stroke care and rehabilitation in Malawi Description: Within the context of the Donabedian Model, the thesis developed a contextual model for in-patient stroke care and rehabilitation (MoC) in Malawi. Both healthcare professionals as well as patients with stroke and their caregivers contributed to the design of the model. Using data from the diagnostic phase, this study generated five guiding principles for the current MoC which are; interdisciplinary teamwork; patients’ journey; goal-directed interventions; human-centered care and evidence-based care. The quality of stroke care practice, functional independence, integration into the community, length of hospital stay and discharge home are important outcomes that need to be considered as part of the MOC.

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY DR L HESS-APRIL PROF M SOEKER

Thesis: The Evaluation of the Integrated Client-Centered Intervention Programme (ICIP) for Clients with MDR-TB at DP Marais Hospital in the Western Cape Description: Underpinning this study was the assumption that a programme in which an integrated clientcentred, multidisciplinary approach to TB is adopted, would improve intervention outcomes for clients with MDR-TB. Nousheena utilised a mixed-methods design to conduct an evaluation of the Integrated Client-centred Intervention Programme (ICIP) that she developed and piloted in a hospital in the Western Cape. Medical dominance was the main constraint to the implementation of the ICIP resulting in lack of continuity of care and lack of effective support at community level. Major implications for community-based programming emerged, thereby making a valuable contribution to the ďŹ eld of occupational therapy and to multidisciplinary professions involved in the integrated care of clients with MDR-TB.

ZAINAB KADER Department: Supervisor:

SOCIAL WORK PROF N ROMAN

Thesis: The development of an intervention to meet the basic psychological needs of preadolescents and adolescents to reduce Hookah Pipe use Description: Adolescent hookah pipe use is a major public health concern as it poses several risks. Selfdetermination theory (SDT) posits that people are motivated to engage in certain behaviours in an attempt to satisfy their basic psychological needs (BPN). Zainab developed an intervention to reduce adolescent hookah pipe use and satisfy their BPN by using a mixed methodology within an intervention mapping framework. A four-pronged intervention includes (1) the hookah pipe user, (2) the family, (3) after school recreation activities, and (4) the teacher and community making it an inclusive approach to adolescent wellbeing. Studies using an SDT perspective to understand hookah pipe use are unknown but the intervention contributes to the body of knowledge and intervening in hookah pipe use.

SCHOOL OF NURSING PROF J FRANTZ PROF H JULIE

Thesis: Roots and constructs of incivility in professional nursing education: refocusing solutions and actions Description: Incivility is rudeness, disrespect, disregard for others or their opinions, and a barrier to social interaction that could be associated with stress. The lack of regard for others creates a disrespectful, conflicting, and stressful environment, which could be perceived as an attack on the individual’s dignity, or sense of self-worth. The broad objectives of this current study were to develop a South African professional nursing education construct of incivility in nursing schools, and to describe the perspectives of the roots of this phenomenon. This study provides strategies and solutions to manage incivility in nursing schools, and a conceptual framework, through which a better understanding of incivility in professional nursing education could be acquired.

Thesis: Development of standards for undergraduate occupational health in Physiotherapy curriculum: A case of Kenya Description: Occupational health in physiotherapy is well known for addressing work-related musculoskeletal disorders. An occupational health physiotherapist will therefore aim to restore the physical and mental health of a patient, as well as contribute to the productivity of the workforce. This study aimed to develop an occupational health curriculum for Kenya.

The developed curriculum will assist in equipping Kenyan physiotherapists with competencies related to the prevention of the work related musculoskeletal disorders that are prevalent in Africa. It is hoped that with the inclusion of this curriculum it will contribute to decreasing the prevalence and impact of work related musculoskeletal-disorders.

Thesis: The development of a model that examines HIV-related stigma and the psychosocial wellbeing of AIDS orphans Description: HIV-related stigma is recognized as a key risk factor resulting in adverse outcomes for the psychosocial well-being of children who have been orphaned by AIDS. Despite the associated outcomes for child well-being, HIV related stigma remains poorly understood.

This study developed a model to understand the manner in which HIV-related stigma affects the psychosocial well-being of children who have been orphaned by AIDS. The developed model will aid future studies by providing a theoretical lens through which HIV-related stigma and its influence on the psychosocial well-being of children orphaned by AIDS may be viewed. Three international articles were published from the findings.

Thesis: Information and communication technologies for development: reshaping poverty in South Africa Description: Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are argued to be a means to improve household livelihoods as well as provide people with the capability of exiting poverty.

Kathleen investigates the contribution of ICT to human development by constructing a new wealth indicator that she terms the ‘digital basket’. She uses Statistics South Africa’s ‘Income and Expenditure’ and ‘Living Conditions Surveys’ to examine the distribution and trends of ICT access. She conceptualizes and then analyses the digital baskets available to South Africans using the composite indicator that she developed. Through this analysis, she provides evidence that the relationship of the digital basket to poverty reduction is positive and statistically significant. Her results are timely and further motivate support towards government and institutional initiatives to protect and enhance ICT ownership and their use by low-income households.

POLITICAL STUDIES PROF C AFRICA

Thesis: Race, class and law in post-apartheid South Africa: A Marxist analysis of black economic empowerment Description: The student interrogated the ability of black economic empowerment (BEE), in particular the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act 53 of 2003 (BBBEE Act), to address the problems of unemployment and inequality in South Africa. The central argument is that the capitalist structure in which the policy is embedded reproduces these phenomena. Using a Marxist approach, the thesis draws on the concepts of productive capital, fictitious capital, surplus value production and the creation of the industrial reserve army to examine the Sanlam and Sasol equity transactions as well as the relationship between Lonmin Plc and Shanduka Pty Ltd. Through the interrogation of these cases, the thesis shows the systemic constraints that BEE policy confronts which prevents it from addressing unemployment and inequality.

Thesis: A Framework for developing citizen-centric e-government applications in developing countries: The design-reality gap in Uganda Description: The study focused on the problem of the ineffectiveness of e-Government to citizens in the African context. One of the underlying causes of this is the design-reality gap. Data was collected in five iterative phases, using a multi-methodology approach. The research findings confirm the design gap and indicate that ICT application designers must set aside their pre-conceived design biases and intuitions. The e-government application design framework, which is the main output of the study, indicates that citizens’ aspirations through the process of design thinking, empathy and design mindfulness is core to ensure adoption and effective use of e-government. The resultant design framework advanced through this research is a contribution to design science research. It furthermore will aid in the design of usable e-government applications for less tech-savvy and marginalized communities in developing country contexts.

Thesis: Infrastructure Investment In Sub-Saharan Africa: Opportunities, Risks and Prospects for Economic Development Description: The study analysed infrastructure investment in three SSA countries – Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo and Ghana. Investment in infrastructure plays an important role in a developmental state. For an economy to grow, there should be substantial commitment from the state and private sector to invest in infrastructure services. Understanding the factors that influence the commitment to invest is therefore important for policy makers in African countries. The research critically investigated challenges in transportation, energy and ICT infrastructure investment. The research found that the DRC has the least infrastructure investment while Ghana is ahead of the three countries. The research also found that SSA has fallen behind its trading partners due to poor governance and corruption.

Thesis: The Synergy between gender relations, child labour and disability in Post-war Acholi sub-region of Northern Uganda Description: Rosemary studied the ways in which children with physical disabilities, often girls, were subjected to hazardous physical work in two areas in Northern Uganda. This area had been the epicentre of the civil war waged by the Lord’s Resistance Army between 1987 and 2013.

This is the first study that was undertaken to show how disability, gender and hazardous child labour relate to each other in an African post-war setting. The student then used a theoretical framework based on the Well-being approach and the Social Justice approach to interpret her results and to formulate a model which can be applied in the formulation of policy. Rosemary’s research also serves to bring a largely invisible problem to the attention of those who can make a difference in the lives of the children she studied.

Thesis: Determinants for the acceptance and use of mobile health applications: Diabetic patients in the Western Cape, South Africa Description: The increased availability of mobile health applications creates an expectation among government and health experts that technologies can address health challenges, including diabetes. Diabetes is a leading cause of death in the Western Cape, South Africa, yet the use of mobile health applications for diabetes self-management is low. This study investigated this problem through a three-phased empirical process, using a mixed-method design. The main outcome of the study is an alternative approach to improve the design of mobile health applications especially for older patients residing in low-resourced communities. The novel approach that was derived includes a user-centred framework which draws on the tenets of positive deviance.

It notes that Harare is a city that is experiencing housing crisis due to a number of reasons including poor policy formulation and politicisation of housing system. The study notes that the disjointed policy framework on housing, starting from 2000, has exacerbated the housing situation in the city. The situation is worsen by de-legitimisation of conventional rules and regulations governing urban development. This has resulted in a chaotic urban development with total disregard for standard guidelines as well as extant laws and policies. The examiners are unanimous in affirming that the study has made significant contribution to knowledge about the housing situation in Harare, Zimbabwe.

Thesis: The nature of parental involvement in literacy activities of low achieving learners in disadvantaged contexts, at a selected primary school in the Western Cape Description: Parents play an important role in enhancing literacy skills of learners. Studying literacy in terms of parent support within a community which still suffers the aftereffects of apartheid, involves an understanding of how systematic humiliation affects the lives of disadvantaged families. Schools privilege the family culture of middle class families as the ideal measure of parental involvement, while ignoring those who lack social and cultural capital. The findings highlight the impact of poverty, violence and mother-tongue instruction on literacy development.

VUYOKAZI MNTUYEDWA Department: EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY Supervisor: PROF M MOLETSANE Co-supervisors: DR D PERSON, DR R MUKUNA Thesis: First-year students’ experiences of peer groups and peer pressure in the residence of a South African University Description: The study investigates the First year students’ experiences of peer groups and peer pressure on the residences of a South African University. A mixed method research design is applied in this study. The participants are female, male and mixed gender students who reside at the university residences. The qualitative data is analysed through thematic analysis and the quantitative data, through the descriptive statistics. The study is grounded on the transition theory, social learning theory, and student involvement theory. The findings reveals that the firstyear students joined different groups and encountered both positive and negative experiences.

Positive experiences were observed in relation to academic performance and sense of belonging. The negative experiences indicated that peers influenced others to adopt antisocial behaviour, experienced undue materialistic pressure, had poor class attendance, and depended on peers for making decisions. It was found that academic success depended on students’ interconnectedness, sense of belonging, peer support, acceptance and recognition.

Thesis: Language of Instruction and Quality of Education in Rwanda: A case study of Secondary School Third Form Learners in the Gisagara District Description: Mugirase’s thesis is a case study of the role that language plays in the quality of education provided to Third Form learners at selected schools in Rwanda. The focus was on English language classes, as these were the spaces in which Rwandan children were explicitly exposed to English and where their proficiency in the language was developed. A combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches was used. The study was guided by sociocultural theories of second language learning. The findings indicate that the learners were by no means proficient in English, the language of instruction. They had difficulty in accessing the school curriculum. The teaching and learning strategies did not do much to promote the acquisition of English. Yet learners and teachers wanted English to remain the medium of instruction.

Thesis: Investigating the use of computer tablets in the teaching of mathematics in a grade 9 classroom Description: This mixed methods study investigated the use of computer tablets in the teaching of mathematics in a grade 9 classroom. Results showed that the group of learners who were taught 3D images with computer tablets achieved significantly better results than the class of learners who were taught 3D images using hard copy textbooks and traditional methods of teaching. Teachers surveyed affirmed that tablets can diversify and enhance teaching and learning in many ways, particularly in supporting learners’ motivation and independent learning, and promoting engaging teaching methods. A pedagogical framework for the effective use of computer tablets in a mathematics classroom emanated from this study with a recommendation that adequate training for acquiring digital competence is essential for effective use of tablets.

PUBLIC LAW AND JURISPRUDENCE PROF B MEZMUR

Thesis: The right to alternative care of children with disabilities in Ethiopia. South Africa and Rwanda Description: International law and good practice require that the placement of children in institutions should be used only as a last resort. However, children with disabilities (CWDs) deprived of their family environment often find themselves disproportionately represented in the category of children that are placed in institutions. Meseret’s thesis examines the extent to which Ethiopia and South Africa are fulfilling their international and regional child-rights law obligations in ensuring that CWDs deprived of their family environment are not discriminated against in the context of alternative care. She argues that CWDs’ equal access to familybased alternative care options in the two countries is hampered by a number of factors including inadequate legislative, administrative and institutional measures, and she makes concrete recommendations for improvement.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND PROCEDURE PROF R KOEN

Thesis: Deploying Transitional Justice mechanisms as anti-corruption tools in Africa Description: This thesis provides invaluable insight into the field of transitional justice and anti-corruption.

It covers prosecutions, reparations, vetting, lustration and institutional reform. It also addresses corruption emerging from conflict or authoritarianism. Although countries have deployed mechanisms and reparations to address violations of civil and political rights, they have neglected corruption and other violations of social and economic rights. The examiners agree that this thesis will assist in answering critical questions regarding the proximate relationship between corruption and violence. It offers guidelines for the total integration of an anti-corruption agenda. The examiners’ regard this thesis as brilliant research output and have no reservations that it should be published.

Thesis: Towards an effective protection for independent migrant children in Africa Description: Mr Gessesse has undertaken an investigation into an important contemporary topic, namely the approach that states parties should take towards unaccompanied mature minors who cross borders on our continent. In terms of the ratio of child and adolescent migrants to the total migrant population, Africa has the highest proportion. South Africa (as a receiving country) and Ethiopia (as both a sending and receiving country) were selected to examine state practices in recognising and protecting independent adolescent migrants. Moreover, the study considers the adequacy of the existing protection mechanisms and their harmonisation with international and regional child rights protection frameworks; good practices were identified in the case of each country.

Thesis: Land grabbing in Ethiopia and Madagascar: Balancing respect for human rights of victims with development needs through land investments Description: This study examines the legal and human rights consequences arising from land grabbing in Ethiopia and Madagascar. It contends that land grabbing is one of the serious activities by multinational companies and states that can undermine various human rights of disadvantaged groups and perpetuate poverty in developing countries. The study argues as parties to international and regional human rights instruments that guarantee socioeconomic rights, the two countries are obligated to ensure the respect, protection and fulfilment of these rights by putting an end to land grabbing. All the examiners express the view that the study has made a significant contribution to knowledge and understanding of the perennial problem of land grabbing in Africa.

PUBLIC LAW AND JURISPRUDENCE PROF J SLOTH-NIELSEN

Thesis: Inhuman sentencing of children: a focus on Zimbabwe and Botswana Description: Ms Mutsvara’s thesis reviews the legal environment pertinent to juvenile sentencing in the mentioned countries. She tackles the appropriate sentencing regime which would abolish inhuman sentences which are still legal. This thesis comes at an opportune time. The Constitutional Court of Zimbabwe handed down a landmark judgment in S v Chikarumba ruling corporal punishment unconstitutional in 2019. Alsom the UM Special Representative on juveniles deprived of their liberty launched the findings of this international investigation in November 2019. Ms Mutsvara has explored a little studied topic, namely juvenile justice, in countries seldom featured before, namely Botswana and Zimbabwe, thereby contributing to the Africanization of scholarship in our region.

Thesis: Corporate Capacity, Special Purpose Vehicles, and Traditional Securitisation in South African Company Law Description: The thesis, in the main, aims to establish whether the Companies Act 71 of 2008 provides a commercially sound legal framework to regulate corporate capacity and facilitate the activities of incorporated Special Purposes Vehicles used in traditional securitisation schemes (TSS SPVs). The candidate concludes that the capacity provisions in the Act do not provide a commercially sound legal framework to regulate corporate capacity and facilitate the activities of incorporated TSS SPVs. The candidate boldly suggests a new approach to corporate capacity in South Africa. Part of his recommendations include a suggested abolition of the ultra vires doctrine and the doctrine of constructive notice along the lines of the approach now followed in England or amendments of various capacity provisions of the Companies Act 2008.

Thesis: The impact of Legal Process Outsourcing in South Africa Description: The sending of legal work to an outsourcing company, has transformed the legal landscape.

Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO) offers lower labour costs and 24-hour access to expert lawyers. Due to language and regulatory similarities, South Africa is a top destination. Murtuza critically discusses from a comparative perspective, the impact LPO has had on the profession.

Questions such as professional responsibility, client conďŹ dentiality, appropriate billing, and the duty to disclose are considered. The thesis provides insightful critique and concludes with practical recommendations regarding the introduction of a regulatory framework.

JEAN FRANCOISE REDPATH Department: Supervisor:

PUBLIC LAW AND JURISPRUDENCE PROF N STEYTLER

Thesis: The centre cannot hold: The role of subnational governments in policing in South Africa Description: The constitutional power for policing crime lies with the national government, with only a limited powers granted to local government. Because the South African Police Service is failing to curb one of the highest crime rates in the world, subnational governments have to a limited degree been compelled by necessity to step into the breach. Provinces are increasingly supporting, supplementing or directing national policing interventions which have been accepted, tolerated or resisted. Metropolitan municipalities have also increasingly stretched the ambit of local policing. Reliance is also placed on traditional leaders to control crime in communal lands. Redpath argues that increasing asymmetrical subnational policing powers based on capacity may assist in tackling the crime crisis.

MERCANTILE AND LABOUR LAW PROF E MALHERBE

Thesis: The appropriateness of employment equity legislation in addressing the challenges faced by black professional employees in South Africa Description: The thesis focuses on the slow pace of racial transformation in private sector professional employment in South Africa, with particular focus on the legal and financial professions. The study shows that equality legislation often does not find application, and that even if it does employers apply it as a box ticking exercise which does not address the fact that black employees remain underrepresented in the selected professions. Jeannine identifies the various limits to the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment incentive structures that do not place a premium on black ownership and that allow enterprises to benefit from BEE incentives while not really transforming management structures, and successfully argues that an alternative framework for transformation is required.

Thesis: The effects of various combinations of different classes of anticancer drugs and tryrosine kinase inhibitors on the human MCF-7 and triple negative MDA-MB 231 breast carcinoma cell lines Description: Globally, about 12 million women will die of breast cancer in 2030. Altered expression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and P-glycoprotein (P-gp), a drug efflux pump, is associated with resistance to anticancer therapy. Beynon’s PhD focused on the effects of doxorubicin (DOX), cisplatin (CDDP) and an EGFR inhibitor (EGFRi) on P-gp and EGFR in breast cancer cells. Combinations of EGFRi with both DOX and CDDP demonstrated synergistic and antagonistic drug interactions consistent with the Bliss and Loewe synergy models. Our results confirmed EGFRi’s ability to reduce the efflux function of P-gp as well as demonstrating its potential to inhibit EGFR expression, and may have application in the design and development of more efficacious combination drug therapies for breast cancer.

SCHOOL OF PHARMACY PROF D BEUKES

Thesis: Design and synthesis of new scaffolds as antiproliferative agents and potential Hsp90 inhibitors Description: Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide while the majority of these deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. Chemotherapy is one of the most effective and extensively used modalities in in the treatment of most types of cancers. However, anticancer drugs often lack selectivity and new and more selective anticancer agents are urgently needed. Mr Adegoke identified two anticancer drug targets and using natural products as his inspiration designed, synthesised and evaluated the anticancer potential of more than 60 novel compounds. Several of his compounds showed promising anticancer activity by specifically targeting proteins critical for cancer growth. Further studies are in progress to further optimize these compounds and potentially develop them as new anticancer treatments.

Thesis: Differential toxicity of two endothelial cells of murine origin to ROS duress: Understanding oxidative stress-induced blood-brain barrier dysfunction Description: Dr Alamu worked on the specialized cells that form the capillaries of the brain, and are pivotal in the regulation of the environment in which your brain’s neurons function. His research revealed several new insights on how brain-endothelial cells respond to oxidative stress and showed conclusively that the comparisons of cell-lines had to be critically reexamined by the scientific community, and that neurobiologists should standardise the celllines used to model the blood-brain barrier so that equitable comparisons can be made to facilitate the understanding of the blood-brain barrier. Dr Alamu’s PhD’s published findings (Journal Cells) have made a distinct contribution to the research field of neurobiology.

MATHEMATICS AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS PROF E MWAMBENE PROF E STEFFEN

Thesis: Measurements of Edge Uncolourability in Cubic Graphs Description: Because of its multifarious implications and applications, the elusive challenge of understanding various forms of colourability of graphs continue to be an eventful arena of engagement of many mathematicians. One of such pursuit has been the elucidation of uncolourabilty of cubic graphs, an enterprise that has persisted for more than a century.

Recently, some researchers have been grappling with measurability of uncolourability of class 2 cubic graphs. Mr Allie joined the arena and introduced new ideas regarding the structural complexity of this phenomenon. In particular, he considered their 3-critical subgraphs, in relation to resistance. He further introduced new parameters, which measure the colourability of cubic graphs, relating to their 3-critical subgraphs and various types of cubic graph reductions. In addition, he presented solutions and partial solutions to longstanding open conjectures relating in particular to oddness, weak oddness and resistance.

COMPUTER SCIENCE PROF I VENTER

Thesis: Predictors of design and adoption of collaborative e-learning environments: A multi-method analysis Description: The way people live, work and communicate with each other has been transformed by technological revolutions as well as the current COVID-19 pandemic. Learning has changed from face-to-face learning to online learning or eLearning. In this study, the determinants of usage of collaborative eLearning environments in higher education were identified by adopting affordance theory and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Soft Systems Methodology was employed to manage the research process and to create conceptual models to explain the research problem and identify its solutions. It was found that although the university’s eLearning platform was utilised, students seemed to prefer free and open source platforms. Culture does influence the adoption of collaborative eLearning while technology affordance plays a major role in the use of collaborative eLearning.

Thesis: Novel norbornane derivatives as potentioal neuroprotective agents Description: Ayodeji’s PhD thesis reports on the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel polycyclic and related molecules for the treatment of Parkinson’s- and/or Alzheimer’s disease. Many of the newly developed compounds were able to act on neuroprotective drug targets including, amongst others; the ability to block calcium flux through NMDA receptor channels and protect against neuronal cell damage. From this work, Ayodeji was able to publish four papers in accredited high-impact international journals. His doctoral research has therefore contributed significantly to the search for pharmaceutical agents able to treat debilitating neurodegenerative disorders.

BIODIVERSITY AND CONSERVATION BIOLOGY PROF L RAITT DR A RAJKARAN

Thesis: Biomonitoring of heavy metals in the Eersterivier catchment area Description: Heavy metal pollution remains a serious problem worldwide. These elements accumulate up the food chain with deleterious effects. Knowledge of their distribution and concentrations in the environment is thus of great importance. Biomonitoring, using living organisms to evaluate environmental parameters, is a useful technique for this purpose. Mr Elmyhob monitored water, substrate and four plant species for six heavy metals at 22 sites repeatedly for more than a year. Inductively coupled plasma analysis (ICP) was used for the heavy metal determinations. The thousands of analyses showed Cadmium and lead to be the most problematic He was also able to identify certain key plants as indicator species for specific heavy metals. His modelling enabled him to successfully predict the concentration of a heavy metal in the water or substrate from the levels in the plant.

CHEMISTRY PROF L PETRIK DR B LOUIS

Thesis: Coal fly ash and acid mine drainage based, heterogeneous Fe catalysts for the FriedelCrafts alkylation reaction Description: The thesis presents a novel approach for the hydrothermal conversion of feedstock silica generated from coal fly ash to form zeolite HBEA and MCM-41. The Fe extracted from acid mine drainage or from coal fly ash were used as metal precursors to form Fe-zeolites. The metal incorporation onto HBEA from acid mine drainage was done via two approaches namely; liquid phase ion exchange and wet impregnation (WI) while the loading on MCM-41 was only done via WI since the material does not possess exchange sites. These novel, green, effective but cheap Fe zeolite catalysts proved suitable for application in the FriedelCrafts alkylation of benzene with t-butylchloride as a probe reaction. Their catalytic activity was comparable to that obtained over commercial catalysts.

Thesis: Protein expression of fluconazole-resistant Candida species following effective in vitro treatment with K21, a novel antifungal agent Description: The emerging multi-drug resistance of Candida species, particularly in HIV infected individuals, threatens their morbidity and mortality. Finding safe and effective alternatives has thus become imperative. This thesis evaluated the antifungal activity and mode of action of K21, a novel antimicrobial quaternary ammonium compound. K21 demonstrated good antifungal activity on its own and in synergy with fluconazole when tested against fluconazole-resistant Candida species. The outcomes of this study suggest that K21 may be a likely candidate for development as an alternative treatment for fluconazole-resistant Candida species.

CHEMISTRY PROF T MABUSELA

Thesis: Isolation and characterization of natural products from selected Rhus species Description: The use of traditional and complementary medicines has grown phenomenally worldwide during the past few years, leading to a need to understand the chemical composition of associated plant materials even better, for the purpose of developing appropriate quality control methodologies. The richness of certain plant materials in specific natural product compounds classes is one of the properties, which are considered to be significant in their capacity for health promotion and disease prevention. Mr Koki’s thesis has led to the characterisation of key compounds from three South African Searsia species. These species revealed a natural product profile similar to other species with medicinal properties, in being dominated by pentacyclic triterpenoids and flavonoids. Among these, were compounds with scientifically proven antioxidant, anti-HIV, antimalarial, diuretic, antifungal, antidiabetic and/or anticancer properties. This therefore justifies their potential use as traditional medicine.

In a comparative study, two different pedagogical approaches were analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative methods. The theories of culturally responsive pedagogy, active learning theory in STEM, and Indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) underpin this study. The study showed that underrepresented minority students in the course with increased culturally responsive pedagogy showed higher levels of engagement and their learning gains soared.

From the examination of gold-bearing quartz veins Mr. Siseho undertook fluid inclusion microthermometry, Raman spectroscopy of the various types of fluid inclusions, as well as stable isotope geochemistry (oxygen and hydrogen). The various data suggest that the fluids are of a metamorphic origin commonly associated with orogenic gold deposits. Ar-Ar dating also provided an extra constraint on the timing of the mineralization. This study has contributed to further constraining the origin and type of deposit and can help in further regional exploration efforts for this deposit type.

Thesis: Fabrication of nanomaterials from biomass for adsorption and antimocrobial applications Description: The Black soldier fly (BSF) is an environmentally friendly and sustainable insect utilised in the transformation of organic waste into animal feeds. But, beneficial uses are required for the waste generated from its residual carcases. This study extracted chitin from waste BSF pupae and adult carcases where after the chitin was converted into chitosan. The chitosan was transformed to nanofibres or nanoparticles using electrospinning or electrospraying techniques respectively. Tannic acid was used to crosslink the chitosan nanofibres to achieve stability in aqueous solutions. The nanofibres were highly effective for rapid adsorption of toxic metals Pb2+ or Cd2+ from aqueous solution. The regeneration of the adsorbent was achieved over four consecutive cycles. Nanoparticles were applied in antimicrobial studies and eradicated microbial cells of E. faecalis, S. mutans and C. albicans.

The nanoparticles were not toxic to human skin fibroblast cell lines.

HEADER

MEANING AND SYMBOLISM

The three proteas symbolise Teaching, Culture and Education.

The stepped pattern represents the steps that lead to the Greek temple. This is the international symbol for academia and our recognition that we are a part of it.

The laurel leaves indicate competition and victory.

The diamond-shaped protea petal represents strength of character, ethics and faithfulness to oneself and others.

ARTS

The continuous pattern that extends from the front to the back speaks to Respice Prospice, which means to look back, to look forward. Take what is good from the past and build the future.

CHS DEN

The beaded effect is meant to reect African craft and creativity.

EMS EDU LAW

The colours that make up the band are derived from those that represent the seven Faculties that make up the University.
