    Diversity in Africa : a cause for disunity
    (2015) Mashau, Takalani Samuel; Kone, Lufuno Reginald; Mutshaeni, Humbulani Nancy
    Forefathers of the African continent preached for unity in Africa for years before 19th century. In the 21st century, some African leaders still preach the unity of Africa. It is the wish of Africans to become one nation, but there are many obstacles to deal with along the way in order to become and realize that one nation, a United States of Africa. Obstacles which cause disunity need Africans themselves to remove them along the way to unity. Currently, Africa has 54 sovereign states with diversity amongst them and their people or citizenry. The identified diversities are ethnicity, culture, race, ethnicity, language, socio-economic or class and religion. This conceptual paper investigates areas of diversity among Africans, and how can Africans minimize diversity in order to forge unity.

    Improving participation in quality education in South Africa: who are the Stakeholders?
    (2014) Mashau; Kone, Lufuno Reginald; Mutshaeni, Humbulani Nancy
    Education is of importance in improving the living conditions of citizens all over the world. It is the only tool for individuals and states’ sustainable development. Educated nations contribute towards development of their states. Therefore, it is necessary for the states to offer quality education to its citizenry. The question which arises mostly is who should get involved in education. Community leaders and members, educators, parents and other stakeholders blame governments when education is of poor quality. It is, therefore, government which is ridiculed when education systems collapse. Quality education is the key towards individuals and state development, therefore everyone should be part of or involved in the provision of quality education. This conceptual paper, through involvement of different stakeholders in Singapore and the United States (US), would like to add a voice for South Africa and point out who are these stakeholders, and their roles and functions in the provision of quality education. The present paper also outlines the way in which all stakeholders are involved in the provision of quality education in Singapore and US and lessons for South Africa learn from these two countries.
