- Description: Much has been written on the scourge of human trafficking, with majority of previous research focussing on trends, forms, as well as the regulatory framework for countering the scourge. Despite the presence of a vast body of knowledge on human trafficking, less attention has been given to the operational dynamics that are involved in the investigation and prosecution of human trafficking cases. This paper, which is based on a literature and documentary survey, evaluates the challenges that are encountered by the criminal justice players in responding to human trafficking. The paper specifically focuses on the challenges that are faced by law enforcement agencies in the investigation of human trafficking, as well as the challenges that are faced in the prosecution of human trafficking offenders. Whilst the paper takes a global approach to the problem, much attention is given to South Africa and Zimbabwe- two neighbouring Southern African nations. Keywords: human trafficking, investigations, prosecution, victim protection

- Description: The management of guests’ satisfaction is imperative for the sustainability of hospitality establishments. The guests’ satisfaction is a lifeblood of a thriving hospitality establishment such as the hotel, guest house, lodge and Bed and Breakfast to mention but a few. The purpose of this paper was to examine the influence of the five dimensional factors of service quality on guest expectations and experiences in hotels in Eastern Cape, South Africa. Furthermore, the paper sought to analyse the factors among the five dimensions that have a main role in driving overall guest expectations and experiences. A purposive sampling method was employed in the data collection process. Primary data was collected through interviews with hotel managers in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) among factor was undertaken in order to analyse the five factors. The findings elucidate that tangibles, responsiveness and assurance play a significant role in driving guest expectations and experiences in the South African hotel industry. The paper further underscores that reliability and empathy are an integral part in providing memorable experience for the guests in hotels. Furthermore, service quality is one of the key aspects to guest expectations and experiences. Conversely, the tangible variable is deemed to be the most important factor driving guest expectations and experiences in the context of the South African hotel industry. It is evident from the findings of the paper improve guest expectations and experiences hoteliers should emphasise the following attributes: ‘reliability’, ‘empathy’ and ‘assurance. The findings of this paper makes a meaningful contribution to a better understanding of the main factors that influence guest expectations and experiences. The results of this paper have implications from a managerial point of view in the highly competitive South African hotel industry.

- Description: Extensive archaeological excavations in southern Africa during the past century have revealed a richly described heritage of widely distributed First-Millennium (C.E.) Agriculturist ceramics. In viewing both artefacts and assessments thereof it can be observed that ways of thinking shape ways of seeing, and explanations ofwhat is seen. Thus, because conceptual frameworks are inseparable from what is observed and explanations that result, consideration is given to some particular mindsets that have led to recent theories concenring local prehistoric material culture. In conclusion, a brief look at dialogues initiated by some contemporary potters who interrogate cherished lifeways and belief systems serve to elucidate current trends towards finding meaning in prehistoric southern African ceramics.
