In South Africa, children enjoy the right to privacy, freedom of expression and protection from exposure to abusive and exploitative materials when they go online. However, in recent years, many South African children have been involved in creating and distributing harmful and illegal messages through the Internet. This prompts the question of whether the South African legal framework is adequate to protect children and shield them from cyberbullying or sexting. This study re-examines the ability of South African anti-cyberbullying laws to protect children online. Cyberbullying takes many forms, and therefore, this study is confined to sexting—the participation in communicating nude pictures through mobile phones. This study is based on the purposive sampling of several well-known cases of sexting that occurred within the South African schooling environment. The findings of the study confirm the view that South African anti-cyberbullying laws are less effective in curbing children’s participation in sexting. In addition, children’s creativity with new age-technologies has tended to complicate and undermine efforts to protect the same children from the harms of sexting. The study concludes that many South African parents appear ill-equipped to teach their children to handle safe sexting and to protect these children from becoming victims of the frequently disastrous consequences of sexting, which may even include suicide.","PeriodicalId":159147,"journal":{"name":"Commonwealth Youth and Development","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116465276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although rewards are unique to each school, the use of badges, trophies, certificates, honour board listings and differentiated school uniforms are commonly accepted ways in which learners are rewarded for their academic achievements. Using a survey of 104 learner responses and 17 parent responses, this article reports on the quantitative data from the author’s mixed methods doctoral study. Experiences of academic rewards at two Gauteng high schools from the perspective of grade 11 learners and their parents are presented here. A framework, including Social Interdependence Theory (Johnson and Johnson 2009) and the Participation Framework (Florian, Black-Hawkins, and Rouse 2017) was used to interpret the responses, revealing layers of meaning that indicated the problematic nature of rewarding learners visibly and publicly within an inclusive education system. The survey data revealed that learners desired recognition for their efforts and hard work but found the schools’ reward systems restrictive in terms of recognising their efforts and talent. Parents felt more excluded from reward ceremonies than their children, and many did not believe in the benefits of public rewards; however, they did admit to feeling a sense of pride when their children won awards. Although South African schools are committed to inclusive education, the interrogation of visible rewards has uncovered a competitive environment unfeasible for inclusive education.","PeriodicalId":159147,"journal":{"name":"Commonwealth Youth and Development","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115781137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unemployment, particularly youth graduate unemployment, is a major development problem. It is worrying that unemployment continues to grow despite major interventions. Among other interventions to overcome youth graduate unemployment was an internship programme established to provide graduates with work experience meant to improve their employability. However, it remains controversial whether graduate internship increases employability prospects of the youth. In this article, I seek to solve this puzzle. A total of 50 semi-structured interviews were conducted with graduate interns and staff members of the eThekwini Municipality in South Africa to elicit data. The results indicate that internship is not always the key to employability and youth graduates often require more than just internship experience to secure employment. In this article, I therefore recommend better internship planning and development. This could improve the role of the internship in graduates’ transition to employment.","PeriodicalId":159147,"journal":{"name":"Commonwealth Youth and Development","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132504139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scholars who have written more about China’s engagement with Africa have far more focused on other significant aspects emanating from alternative sister disciplines of econometrics, economics, political science, and so forth. While this is the case, this paper sought to extensively delve into the subject of China’s Africa engagement model and compare and contrast China’s Africa engagement model with that of the British and French colonial models of the earlier imperial period. This paper argues fundamentally that China’s Africa engagement model—although not far different from that of the European colonial powers—advances pillars that champion a soft foreign policy stance while it hides its extensive disregard for African countries and their economies. Methodologically, this paper relied on complete interdisciplinary discourse analysis and prevailing continental relevant literature on the subject of China-Africa relations, British-Africa relations, and French-Africa relations.","PeriodicalId":159147,"journal":{"name":"Commonwealth Youth and Development","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116346747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the fundamentality of its continuity in the context of South Africa, this article solely analyses this phenomenon within the period of 2016–2018. The central aim is to understand the development of this phenomenon and its indicator in the stated period. The adoption of the periodisation approach in this article does not necessarily sideline the fact that the phenomenon of state capture is characterised by the presidency of Jacob Zuma but only gained momentum during the period post-2016. Methodologically, this article relied on a desktop research approach in the form of document review and made use of thematic content analysis to attend to the central objective of the article. Equally important was the adoption of Afrocentricity as the alternative theoretical lens to interpret the nature of this subject. The preliminary findings of this article illustrate that state capture manifests in a form of lobby and influence in government policies and operation, thus leading to poor governance policies and aggravated socio-economic developmental problems. The article recommends a strong call for transparency and effective corruption and state capture watch mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":159147,"journal":{"name":"Commonwealth Youth and Development","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125684235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper intends to uncover the impact of the 4IR on the South African job market. In an attempt to deal with one of South Africa’s triple challenges (poverty, inequality and unemployment), namely unemployment, South Africa finds itself in the introduction of the 4IR, with which it must acquaint itself. It is, however, worrying when looking at the year-by-year escalation of South Africa’s high unemployment rate. When looking at the dire status and escalation of the unemployment rate (which is affecting South Africans, most particularly the youth), it is not ironic that South Africa is inadequately prepared and inept to embrace the changes that the 4IR brings. While the country is making amendments in the education sector in terms of preparing the youth for the skills that will be relevant to the changes and give them access to employment, this has come a bit late to be able to address the high unemployment rate. There is already a high rate of retrenchments within the banking sector, which is cause for concern in terms of labour unrest that the country is (in)famous for.","PeriodicalId":159147,"journal":{"name":"Commonwealth Youth and Development","volume":"329 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122754203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
