Title: Dimensions of poverty in informal settlement: a case study of Disteneng Squatter Camp, Polokwane Municipality, Limpopo Province Authors: Nkwinika, Zodwa Abstract: Apartheid land policy and its constitution as a whole conceptualized and structured South African in a way that encouraged inequalities in terms of land ownership, job opportunities and access to education and recreational facilities. The privileged few (whites and a few black elites and whosoever summarized with the former apartheid regime) got richer and richer while the less privileged people, (in this case, the majority of the black people of South Africa) got poor. They were even denied reasonable access to land and quality education. This investigative study examines the state in which they lived and how they are still living in Squatter Camp as an attempt to make qualitatively justifiable recommendations. Informal settlement is as old as the origin of urban settlement, which existed through industrialization process worldwide. A need for peace, jobs, security, housing and land ownership resulted in the establishment of informal settlement near big towns and mines. The most disadvantaged people, those characterized by poverty due to unemployment, lack of land ownership due to one reason or another move to informally settle nearer to areas in which there are possibilities for employment opportunities and better standard of living. Specifically, this study examines the deficiencies associated with the existing informal settlement through its assessment and evaluation. In this regard all aspects of assessment techniques of the way in which inhabitants of Disteneng informal settlement live i.e. interviewing processes (both structured and informal), observation through site visit, checking of documented information with regard to informal settlement etc have been used. The gaps that exist between urban life and the living conditions of people from squatter camp have been investigated and reflected. Description: Thesis (M. Dev.) --University of Limpopo, 2007.

Title: A situational analysis of pool car management : the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry, Limpopo Province Authors: Malatji, Masadiki Violet Abstract: Despite crucial strategic value of fleets, most organizations have relegated the management of their vehicles as being very low on their list of priorities. Consequently, they are entrusting unsuitable people with management of their fleet. Without proper management, huge amounts of money are wasted through fuel fraud and with repairs being done too late or not at all, leaving expensive vehicles idle for months (Barrow 1999).It has been observed that managing fleets with the emphasis on bookkeeping and finance, rather than operational realities, leads to huge and unnecessary costs and massive fraud (Barrow 1998). Efficiency in fleet management is about having a fleet that works directly to support the organizational goals. It is imperative that a study was conducted to analyze the situation of pool cars in the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry (DWAF) in the Limpopo Province to ensure the efficiency in its fleet management Description: Thesis (MBA) --University of Limpopo, 2008
