The phrase catch 22 is the idea that no matter what, a situation will never change. For the colored citizens of South Africa this was exactly how it felt. Even when they had opportunities to get ahead they were stopped by inability to buy the proper papers or permits. In the case of Mark Mathabane as a reader I learned about his life under Apartheid. In Mark’s autobiography Kaffir Boy, his ticket out of Apartheid was through tennis and his education. By looking at the hardships black citizens of South africa faced, it becomes clear the greatest challenges were lack of money, education, and conflicting cultural beliefs. First off, as a reader It was prevalent that Marks family’s problems all root back to one thing, lack of money. Throughout a large majority of the story Mark and his family live in harsh poverty at some points almost starving when his father goes to jail. Mark’s father gets arrested for being unemployed. But when he gets arrested he is in the city going to get a permit to look for a job. He gets arrested while trying to solve the problem he was arrested for. The sad truth that was seen in this story was that at this time if the person had money they could bribe the police and avoid being arrested. Mark’s family didn’t have this luxury so his father goes to jail and the family struggles. “ But Christmas is here, I said. Yes I know, my mother said sadly. But we don’t have the money to celebrate with.” (pg.39). Another example would be that schooling in…

Fact is addiction recovery is a difficult lifelong process and continued support, contact, and monitoring of the client during this stage is very crucial.

India, Pakistan and Nigeria have become the target of such attacks in recent years. This may be as a result of the growing entrepreneurship that the above mentioned groups have exhibited in South Africa, a notion that 25% of South Africans said they would prevent if possible (Crush, Ramacharan 2014). There has also been a substantial growth in the dislike towards foreigners; a 59% to 63% increase in negative attitudes between 1999 to 2010 was reported (World Values Survey, 2011). Furthermore,…

accidents. South Africans are consuming an excess of 5 billion liters of alcohol annually. This number is the highest in the world and continues to grow.

The TEA index (total early-stage entrepreneurial index) measured the percentage of women entrepreneurs between the ages of 18 and 64 involved in starting a business as 4.83 percent for South Africa, a figure below the the average of 7.72 percent as calculated for all countries. In a synthesis of many scholars’ definitions of “woman entrepreneur,” Chinomona and Tafadzwa Maziriri define her as, “the female front-runner of a business who takes the initiative of introducing a new venture, who…

However, similar to regional based analyses, most national level studies are underpowered to capture the heterogeneity that exists in the country. Two decades after the end of the apartheid era, there remains stark differences in health status, profile of disease and in access to services across racial lines and geographical locations in South Africa. For example, whilst health outcomes are generally poor in both urban and rural areas, the two most urbanised provinces, Gauteng and Western…
