There are still gaps in the economy of South Africa post apartheid. This is due to the migrant labour decrease which resulted to increased unemployment. Certain parts of the country being independent states which were former homelands of migrant labourers have lost large amounts of their income resulting to the great obscurity. The social and political manoeuvres post apartheid and the re-incorporation of Venda into the now known, Limpopo created the now visible economic inequality or rather uneven distribution of wealth (McNeil). The people of Venda like of Owerri associate quick wealth with

In conclusion pain management is an important impact on patient practice as well as education and knowledge. Although the study did prove to have been beneficial I found the results to be inconclusive as they were generally biased according to the perception of the patient on the individually nurses’ influence and actions toward the management of pain. Every nurse in each generation can learn the same information and the same execution it is what the nurse chooses to apply of his or her own attitude that will determine how the patients will perceive their care and this is with any study being performed on the nursing practice with patient.

Barron, Hassiotis, and Banes (2002) also searched different databases, case studies, and clinical trials to evaluate the best treatment methods for sex offenders with intellectual disability. In their research it was determined that the criminal justice system ineffectively identified intellectual disability, therefore they had received ineffective services and/or treatment methods. They also found that eight percent of those in police custody had similar symptoms to that of intellectual disability. They declared that structured treatment methods and patient follow-up plans were effective because of the ability to manage offenders. Some of the treatment plans also included sex education as well as social skills training. The education can

Human development can be defined as the process of biological change and growth that takes place between birth and maturity. This human development involves the physical, psychological and the sociological changes. (Sigelman and Rider, 2006).

When it comes to South Africa, the nation remains a land of intrigue. Moreover, the nation remains filled with beautiful forestry and beautiful people. In fact, South Africa remains one of the most developed nations in all of Africa. However, it remains conventional wisdom that South Africa has faced and currently faces numerous challenges. To begin, South Africa is still healing from its brutal history of apartheid. During this time, millions of black South Africans remained disenfranchised from their own country. Moreover, South Africa remains a place with one of the world's highest HIV/AIDS rate. Therefore, numerous people that live in South Africa remain orphaned by the lasting effects disease.

I will advance the thesis that the Human Development Index (HDI) is a better measure of economic performance than the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita. By saying that the HDI is a better system to measure economic performance, I mean that because the HDI highlights the trend between longevity, education and economic growth, it calculates a better analysis of an economy (Costa, Steckel 1997, p. 71). In contrast, the GDP per capita only accounts for the gross domestic product without paying any attention to other factors of an economy (Hawthorn, Sen 1997, p. 60). With this being said, my thesis asserts that the HDI is a better measure for economic performance because it considers significant factors that play large roles in an

AFRICA'S biggest economy is being held back by one of the world's lowest labour-participation rates and one of its highest unemployment rates. Barely 40% of South Africa's working-age population have jobs, compared with around 60-75% in other middle-income emerging markets, according to a report out this week by the OECD. One in three South Africans in the labour force, including half of young black people aged 15-24, is unemployed. This, more than anything, most constrains South Africa's economic growth, says the Paris-based outfit.

The superimposing factor that gives South Africa such an advantage over other prospective African business environments is that it possesses of a very powerful and sophisticated vantage-point geographically. South Africa is strategically located for manufacturing and exportation into several regions globally and can be an unmitigated platform for MNC’s who may be interested in a venture within this region. The important advantages include regional competitiveness, combined with reduced operational costs and a significantly prominent market access (Safrica.info, 2011).
