Die reformatoriese geloofsbegrip: Rektorale Rede gehou op 31 Oktober 1952
Ons behandel in hierdie rede alleen die wese van die geloof. Om deur te dring tot die wese van die reformatoriese geloofsbegrip moet ons eers daarop let hoe Rome die verband tussen geloof en Skrif soek. Rome het hierdie verband verduister deur die geloof te bind aan die kerk, wat self die Woord nodig het om te bestaan
Die wese van die geloof.
Waar ons op 31 Oktober weer dink aan die werk van die Hervorining, daar is dit nodig dat ons weer die aandag vestig op die geloofsworsteling van die manne van die Hervorming. Om daardie geloofsworsteling te verstaan is dit nodig om te let op die wese van die geloof.En om die wese van die geloof te verstaan is dit nodig om eers te let op die geloofsopvatting van Rome
Regstellende aksie: ’n etiese perspektief
Affirmative action: an ethical perspective. The scrapping of certain relevant laws of the apartheid era can not immediately undo the wrongs of apartheid. What is essentially needed is compensation of some kind for every individual or group who has been affected by it. The question is whether affirmative action can be ethically justified; is it inherently 'right or wrong’? In this paper different approaches to affirmative action and the normal phases of implementation of affirmative action are investigated. The best known ethical theories are then used to adjudicate the relevance ami ethical justification of affirmative action. In the final analysis six different levels of ethical decision-making are considered. The conclusion arrived at is that affirmative action is unavoidable but that there are a number o f pitfalls awaiting the unwary. To implement affirmative action successfully certain prerequisites must be met

Derdegolfbestuur: ’n prinsipiële besinning
Third Wave management: A deliberation on the principlesThe postmodern understanding of reality revolves around the idea that there are no absolute values - everything is in flux. Postmodernism is a revolutionary epoch in man's existence and implies a transitionary state from modernism to a new era of thinking. The science of management, being dynamic, is continually interpreting the status of presentday companies. Toffler proposed a managerial theory called Third Wave management. This theory embodies the current postmodern understanding of reality. While a superficial similarity exists between Third Wave management and the New Age Movement, it does not necessarily mean that Third Wave management shares the ideological and spiritual presuppositions of the New Age Movement. Third Wave management theory can be interpreted as part of a post-modernist paradigm which eventually precipitates in middle range management science (a mesoparadigm). Several managerial models and structures can thus be developed
TeĂŻsties-organiese inspirasie.
In sy Dogmatiek noem Haering die inspirasie die „Diktat des Heiligen Geistes”. Dit is die meganiese inspirasie, waarby die Heilige Gees deur die Bybelskrywers sou spreek soos die menslike stem deur ’n grammofoon of waarby die Heilige Gees aan iemand sou dikteer
Die solidaristiese, representatiewe teorie van die versoening.
Ons het hier te doen met die leer van die plaasbekledende genoegdoening van Christus, die satisfactio vicaria. InArt. 20 van die Nedl. Geloofsbelydenis lees ons dat Christus in die menslikenatuur gekom het „om te voldoen en tedra die straf van die sondes deur sy bittere lyde en sterwe”. Art. 11 van dieTweede Helvetiese Konfessie vat dit kernagtig saam: „Deur sy lyde en sterween in die algemeen deur alles wat onse Here sedert sy koms in die vleesom ons ontwil gedoen en gedra het, hetonse Here die hemelse Vader met allegelowiges versoen, die sonde versoen, die dood ontwapen, verdoemenis en helgebreek en deur sy opstanding uit diedode die lewe en die onsterflikheid teruggebring en herstel”
Prevalence and characteristics of erectile dysfunction in black and mixed race primary care populations of the Cape Flats and Helderberg Basin area of the Western Cape, South Africa
Objective: To estimate the prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) among users of primary care in a Black and Mixed Race urban population in the Western Cape, and to describe any associated health and psychosocial factors.
Design: Cross-sectional survey by interviewer administered questionnaire.
Setting: Two primary care medical centres, 40km apart, in Cape Town metropolitan area. Serve different ethnic groups, with no cross-contamination between them. Study period: March-June 1999
Patients: 833 Males (35-70 years old) attending these health centres for primary care. Systematic selection of all attendees.
Main outcome measures: Prevalence of ED and presence of associated health and psychosocial factors. Describe patient demographics, physical attributes, sexual relationships.
Results: Results of 730 males with current sexual partners: Mean ages 48 years (SD:7 years) all; 46 years (SD:9 years) Black group; 51 years (SD: 9 years) Mixed Race group. All degrees of ED prevalence: All 77.1% (95% CI: 74.0-80.2), Black 76.4% (95% CI: 71.8-80.4) and Mixed Race 77.7% (95% CI: 72.8-82.0). Significantly associated diseases: hypertension, diabetes, gastrointestinal and heart disease. Alcohol consumption (younger patients), smoking (older patients) significantly related to ED. Males with ED: more sexual partners than males without ED. More than 90% choose primary care physician/ generalist as primary ED care-giver.
Conclusions: ED is very common in both study groups. Primary care workers must be prepared to manage associated risk factors and health implications. ED sufferers in this population may also be at higher risk for sexually transmitted diseases due to multiple sexual partners.

Developing the next generation of potential entrepreneurs: co-operation between schools and businesses?
To realise the dream of an African Renaissance and a better life for all South Africans, the entrepreneurial energies of all people, including children, should be harnessed to contribute towards economic development, job creation and the alleviation of poverty. Worldwide, various bodies and governments have recognised the importance of entrepreneurship in job creation and as a prerequisite for sustainable economic development. Entrepreneurship development concerns the development of people's potential as a country's most valuable resource. According to a model for entrepreneurship education the challenge is to put more emphasis on creating awareness of the self-employment option and generating interest and desire for engaging in entrepreneurship. More opportunities and support should also be provided for people to learn about the entrepreneurial process. The majority of people who will start businesses in future are currently in the educational system. Integrating entrepreneurial learnership programmes into the educational system in high schools can be critical in developing the skills necessary to start and run successful businesses. The aim of the research was to determine the role and perceptions of business people regarding entrepreneurial learnership programmes in secondary schools. A literature study, complemented by an empirical survey among business people affiliated with the Chambers of Business, was used as the method of research. Conclusions from the study included that respondents strongly agreed that learnership and involvement of business people with schools are essential. It can therefore be recommended that attention be given to an entrepreneurial youth learnership programme for secondary schools.
