- Description: The zeid fishes of South Africa are revised; five species in four genera are described and illustrated. Paracyttopsis scutatus Gilchrist & von Bonde and Zen itea (Jordan & Fowler) are shown to be junior synonyms of Cyttopsis roseus (Lowe). Zeus japonicus Valenciennes and Zeus australis Richardson are considered synonyms of Zeus faber Linnaeus; there seems to be no basis for recognition of subspecies in this wide-ranging species. Zenopsis ocellatus (Storer) is placed in the synonymy of Zenopsis conchifer (Lowe). A key to the families of zeiform fishes is presented, and diagnosis for those families represented in South African waters are given. Keys to the South African species of Grammicolepididae, Oreosomatidae, and Zeidae are also included. The distributions of zeid fishes are discussed. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

- Description: Early in 1981, Professor S. Bekker of Rhodes University was invited to attend a meeting of the Amatola Basin Steering Committee of the Agricultural and Rural Development Research Institute (ARDRI) at the University of Fort Hare. At this meeting, Professor Bekker was invited to undertake a socio-economic survey of the Amatola Basin. The Board of the Institute of Social and Economic Research at Rhodes University gave Professor Bekker permission in February 1981 to undertake the research project on condition that it was conducted in the fashion this Institute usually requires. It was subsequently agreed that the survey, known as 'Amatola Basin VII: Socio-economic survey', was to establish the basic demographic, kinship, consumption and employment patterns of the residents of the Amatola Basin. Practices and traditions related to dry land agriculture would also be identified , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

A study of Bantu retail traders in certain areas of the Eastern Cape

- Language: English

- Description: In this study, consideration has been given only to the Bantu in retail trade in the Bantu areas (which are predominantly rural) and in the smaller urban complexes outside these areas. Retail trade m the rural Bantu areas of the Eastern Cape has until recent years been the near-monopoly of the Whites, who still retain the bulk of this business. White traders provide the channel through which most goods are imported' into these areas and it is through them that a large part of all local produce is exported'. They act as 'middlemen', buying local produce for resale on the local domestic market. They are an important source of credit and their trading stations are important social centres in the normal run of events of the local communities. White traders have always offered other services apart from merely supplying material needs. They act as postmasters and there are frequent calls for their advice, and in cases of illness and birth, for their motor cars. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: The physical environment and ichthyofauna of 10 estuaries, the East Kleinemonde, Klein Palmiet, Great Fish, Mtati, Mpekweni, Mgwalana, Bira, Gqutywa, Ngculura and Keiskamma, was sampled over a four year period. The ichthyofauna of each estuary was sampled once during winter and once during summer in that period, with the physical environment being sampled on two occasions per season. This investigation provides baseline ichthyofaunal and physical information for these estuaries, the majority of which have never been studied before. The fish data presented for these systems includes species composition, relative abundance, richness and diversity, longitudinal distributions and length frequency data. Descriptions of the physical environment within each estuary are also presented. The permanently open estuaries had a greater proportion of marine and freshwater species relative to the temporarily open/closed systems which were dominated by marine species dependent on estuaries and estuarine resident species. The permanently open estuaries had a higher Margalef's species richness index relative to the temporarily open/closed systems but the Shannon-Wiener species diversity index did not follow any discernible trend. There were minor longitudinal distribution trends when analysing the community as a whole, with patterns for individual species being more pronounced. The length frequency histograms for estuarine resident species differed between estuary types, while those for the marine migrant species were similar in the different estuary types.\ , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

- Description: The type-species of the cichlid fish genus Petrotilapia Trewavas 1935, P. tridentiger, is redescribed and two new species, P. genalutea and P. nigra, are described. These three species occur sympatrically at Monkey Bay. Morphological differences between the three species are slight and of little diagnostic value. Live coloration is the most important taxonomic character and can be used reliably to identify adults of the three species. Field observations of live fishes are shown to be of paramount importance in taxonomic studies of the genus Petrotilapia. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

While L. longimanus and L. macracanthus co-exist with very slight overlap of morphological characters in the south of Lake Malawi, an apparently intermediate population is reported from another part of the Lake. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

- Description: This paper is concerned with the shifting fortunes of the Developmental State Paradigm (DSP) and the Social Compacting Paradigm (SCP) and, with some reference to South Africa, how they do or do not have continuing presence and relevance. For each, there is a dual trajectory in terms of an evolving intellectual content, on the one hand, and an evolving set of global and national circumstances on the other. I show that both paradigms have increasingly diverged from the material realities that they are intended to confront. This is primarily because of the neglect of financialisation as the key characteristic of the past thirty years, which itself underpins neo-liberalism. Whilst, in the post-war boom, both developmentalism and neo-corporatism offered some purchase on material realities and the prospects for policymaking, this has been eroded or, more exactly, transformed by financialisation. Unless the latter is satisfactorily addressed, neither development nor compacting can be expected to succeed, or be progressive, in any meaningful sense.

- Description: Activate is the Independent Student Newspaper of Rhodes University. Located in Grahamstown, Activate was established in 1947 as Rhodeo, and during apartheid became an active part of the struggle for freedom of expression as part of the now defunct South African Student Press Union. Currently Activate is committed to informing Rhodes University students, staff and community members about relevant issues, mainly on campus. These issues range from hard news to more creative journalism. While Activate acts as a news source, one of its main objectives it to be accessible as a training ground for student journalists. The newspaper is run entirely by the students and is published twice a term. Activate is a free newspaper which receives an annual grant from the Rhodes University Student Representative Council, however, majority of its revenue is generated through advertising.
