FELLOWSHIP

The election by Senate and Council of a member of the faculty to be a fellow recognises sustained

and original contribution through research or creative endeavour.

The following member of the Faculty of Commerce has been elected to a fellowship

ROBERT EDWARD DORRINGTON

Professor in the School of Management Studies

Rob Dorrington has held the chair of Actuarial Science at UCT for over 20 years. During this time,

he has almost single-handedly carried the flag of actuarial research in South Africa. He has been

awarded the Murray Medal by the Actuarial Society of South Africa (its highest honour); has served

on the society’s council; served on (and convened) many of its sub-committees, including those on

education, research, and HIV/AIDS. But it is his accomplishments as a demographer that are

remarkable.

Dorrington came late to the field of demography. Building on that part of this discipline that

overlaps with actuarial science, his first foray into demography was in the derivation of South African

life tables for use by insurance companies. The emergence of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in South

Africa in the late 1980s created the need for a systematic investigation into the likely demographic

implications of the disease. This inquiry has led to the formulation and development of the

Actuarial Society of South Africa AIDS and Demographic Model, his greatest achievement to date.

In the absence of consistent and reliable empirical data, the model has become the national reference

point for academics, researchers, government employees, social activists, and policy makers

engaging with the unfolding tragedy.

In addition to its obvious social value, the model has been scientifically and academically acclaimed.

On the strength of this work, Rob Dorrington is now a globally-respected expert in the field of

projecting populations and modelling the dynamics of HIV epidemics. He is consulted frequently

by national and provincial governments across Southern Africa, as well as by international agencies

on how best to incorporate the epidemiological dynamics of HIV/AIDS into demographic

projections.

He has made his mark too, as one of the world’s leading thinkers on the measurement of adult and

child mortality in developing countries and where data are limited or defective, and has led or

collaborated on research into the measurement fertility and migration in similar circumstances.

Professor Dorrington has authored and co-authored over 60 peer-reviewed publications as well as

many more conference papers, monographs and consulting reports.

DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF

PHILOSOPHY

In Accounting:Craig Richard West

Thesis Title: The Taxation of International(non-resident) Sportspersons in South Africa-A critical analysis of the relevance of theOECD Model article 17 in Double TaxAgreements from a South African perspectiveand the misalignment of this article in SouthAfrican DTAs (in force at 1 June 2008) whencompared against the final withholding taxon the gross earnings of non-residentsportspersons performing in South Africa.

Craig West has a MCom (Accounting)

from the University of Cape Town and is a

Chartered Accountant (SA). He has been on

the academic staff of the Department of

Accounting at UCT since 2002. During this

time he has published in both local and

international journals as well as local and

international conferences on taxation

matters. His thesis examines the relevance

of the OECD Model article 17 (sportsperson

article) in tax treaties and analyses the

withholding tax applied to non-resident

sportspersons performing in South Africa

against this article. The interpretational rules

applicable to fiscal legislation provides the

methodology for the analysis. Comparative

analyses were conducted on all South

African double tax treaties in force at 1 June

2008 against the OECD, UN, and USA

model treaties. In addition, substantive

analyses were conducted on the Model and

South African treaties ‘taxes covered’ and

‘exchange of information’ Articles. He finds

that the domestic withholding tax legislation

is misaligned with the sportsperson article

and renders the withholding tax inapplicable

in many cases when applied to a resident of

a Contracting State. This misalignment is

replicated in the concessionary 2010 FIFA

World Cup legislation. He recommends

deletion of the irrelevant and inappropriate

sportsperson article and advocates its

replacement with a more appropriate article

concerning all mobile individuals.

In Business Administration:Thabo Cecil Makgoba

Thesis Title: African Workplace Spiritualityin South African Mines

Thabo Makgoba was born in Magoebaskloof

in Limpopo, in 1960. He completed his

schooling at Soweto’s Orlando High and

went on to study at Wits. There he graduated

with a BSc and in postgraduate studies

obtained a BA(Hons) (Applied Psychology),

HDipEd (PG) and then a MEd in Educational

Psychology. He also studied at St Paul’s

Theological College in Grahamstown where

he obtained a Diploma in Theology (DipTh).

He is now the Anglican Archbishop of Cape

Town.

Many researchers have investi-

gated the role of ‘workplace spirituality’ with

the aim to generate research data which

would firmly entrench this construct as vital

in the workplace. However, there are only a

few that have investigated spirituality in the

mining place of work, and none have looked

at workplace spirituality of pastoral care

workers. In Thabo Makgoba’s study, both

are investigated and a framework of

workplace spirituality is suggested, wherein

the variables that may constitute workplace

spirituality in this context are investigated.

This framework was used as a foundation to

develop structured and semi-structured

questionnaires, with which interviews were

conducted. In total, 224 miners were inter-

viewed over a period of three years, and 45

pastoral care workers, 10 indigenous healers,

20 mine managers, 20 medical and allied

professionals, and 12 mining CEOs/direc-

tors/owners were also interviewed. Using

the SPSS statistical package, and the

qualitative analysis software tool Atlas ti, the

research data were analysed both quantita-

tively and qualitatively. The quantitative

results suggested that there is a positive

relationship between the dependent variable,

workplace spirituality, in relation to the

following independent variables: workplace

safety (weak but positive relationship, God

(strong and positive relationship), salience

(strong and positive relationship, commu-

nity (strong and positive relationship),

personal identity (strong and positive

relationship), meaning (weak and positiverelationship), and physical well-being (strong

and positive relationship). These results

were further supported by the qualitative

analysis.

Siyabonga Simayi

Thesis Title: Application of Lean Manage ment in the Provision of Textbooks to Eastern Cape PublicSchools

Siyabonga Simayi was born and raised up in

Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape. He completed

a Bachelor of Technology: Engineering Met-

allurgy at University of Johannesburg in

1998. Thereafter he worked five years as a

Metallurgical Engineer at Highveld Steel and

Vanadium Corporation, Witbank and subse-

quently two years at DeBeers Mine, Kim-

berley as a Mineral Processing Engineer. In

2005 he undertook an MBA full-time at

UCT, GSB. In 2006 he registered for his PhD

at the Faculty of Commerce through the

GSB. His interest in the topic of educational

policy and the delivery of school books is in

large part due to his experience as a pupil in

schools that were not being serviced well by

both the apartheid and post-apartheid state.

In delivering a sustainable educa-

tion to its citizens, the Eastern Cape

education system has been plagued with

numerous challenges and inefficiencies

including provisioning of textbooks to

schools. Education decentralization theories

and case studies from countries that have

undertaken the reform have been investi-

gated. A model was developed to assess the

degree of decentralization of the supply

process. The process was found to be still

centralized as almost all decision and

execution take place in the Head Office

(province).

Thereafter, the lean management, a

manufacturing tool, is used to assess the

efficiency though identification of non-value

adding (waste) activities, bottlenecks and

levers in the process of supply of textbooks to

Eastern Cape public schools. The contribution

of the study is that lean management:

being a manufacturing tool can be used in a

service environment,

b) can be applied to identify process waste

c) can clarify the information and material

flow in a process and

d) used to improve the process as measured

by reduced time such that schools receive

sooner. 20% time saving was found to be

possible by allowing Head Office and

schools to communicate directly and to

establish as response system. Preference to

employ the temporal personnel to process req-

uisition forms could be given to those who are

computer literate.

To evaluate the decentralization and

the process for lean management, a qualitative

technique was used through semi-structured10

11

interviews with the Department administra-

tors (province and district). The effect of avail-

ability of textbooks at schools was

investigated through assessing Grade 12 pass

rate. A quantitative method was to

collect and to analyse the information.

Thesis Title: Financial Development andEconomic Growth: A comparative study ofMultivariate Analysis of Kenya, SouthAfrica and Zambia’s Economies

Lufeyo Banda was born on the Copperbelt in

Zambia. He completed his Bachelor of Arts

degree at University of Zambia and Masters

of Art degree in Economics at University of

Botswana. Before embarking on his masters

program, Lufeyo worked as a relationship

manager for Standard Chartered Bank, Plc

for four years. It was there that he developed

an interest in banking and economic growth,

the topic on which he wote his PhD at UCT.

Lufeyo Banda’s thesis investigates

the causal effects between financial

development and economic growth in three

countries: Kenya, South Africa and Zambia.

Using the multivariate vector autoregression

(VAR) and Toda and Yamamoto frameworks,

his analysis tries to establish the following.

(a) There is support for the supply-leading

hypothesis which runs from credit to

economic growth in all the three countries

(this is demonstrated by using the VAR

method); (b) when both the supply-leading

and demand–following hypotheses are

examined Toda-Yamamoto test supports the

finding obtained under the VAR analysis;

and (c) credit is found to affect indirectly, via

gross fixed capital formation, real GDP per

capita. This indirect relationship raises the

likelihood of credit rationing in financial

markets by the government; this supports the

World Bank study on credit rationing in

developing countries.

The policy implication of the

research findings is that financial reform

programs of liberalizing the financial sector

systems would augment efficient allocation

of resources and would in turn lead to eco-

nomic growth.

Farayi Gwenhamo

Thesis Title: The Role of Institutions inShaping Foreign Capital. Evidence fromSouth Africa and Zimbabwe

Farayi Gwenhamo was born in the Midlands

Province of Zimbabwe. She obtained her

BSc Honours degree and MSc degree in Eco-

nomics from the University of Zimbabwe in

2001 and 2003 respectively. In 2004, she

commenced her PhD in Economics at UCT

in collaboration with the African Economic

Research Consortium (AERC).

Farayi Gwenhamo’s thesis investigates the

impact of institutions, and property rights in

particular, on foreign capital flows in South

Africa and Zimbabwe. The work is moti-

vated by recent developments in the theory

of economic growth emphasising the role of

institutional factors in determining economic

outcomes. The work addresses the challenge

of measuring institutions by constructing a

new dataset of indicators which measure de

jure property rights and political freedoms as

well as de facto political instability in Zim-

babwe for the period 1946 to 2005. Making

use of the newly constructed and existing

datasets, the thesis investigates the impact of

property rights on the absolute levels and the

composition of foreign capital flows received

by the two countries from abroad. The results

indicate that property rights are consistently

an important explanatory variable of the lev-

els and composition of foreign capital. The

main policy recommendation is that host

country governments should ensure sound

institutions at home and in the region in order

to increase the levels of foreign capital in-

flows which are crucial for sustainable eco-

nomic growth and poverty reduction.

Richard Mussa

Thesis Title: Children, investments in education and poverty in Malawi

Richard Mussa, a Malawian national, cur-

rently works as a Lecturer in the Department

of Economics, Chancellor College, Univer-

sity of Malawi. In 2001, he was awarded a

Bachelor of Social Science (Economics) with

distinction by the University of Malawi and

in 2005 he graduated with an MA in

Economics from the University of Malawi.

He was awarded a scholarship by the African

Economic Research Consortium (AERC) to

pursue a PhD in Economics at UCT.

Richard Mussa’s thesis presents an

examination of three interrelated themes

concerning household investments in the

education of children, and how the number

of children in a household affects a house-

hold’s poverty situation in Malawi. Recog-

nizing that in many African countries parents

are not just responsible for the education of

their own children, he also examines the

relationship between household income and

schooling costs in the presence of intra-

household schooling bias against non-bio-

logical children. He constructs a two-period

model of intrahousehold schooling bias. The

model predicts that there is an asymmetry in

the impact of changes in costs and income on

schooling in that the impact is larger for the

non-biological child. It predicts that the

asymmetry increases as the relationship dis-

tance between the non-biological child and

the parents gets wider. It also shows that an

increase in cost of schooling leads to a bigger

reduction in schooling for poor households,

and that the difference in the impact of cost

changes between the biological and the non-

biological child declines as household

income increases i.e. there is convergence.

The convergence is faster the more distantly

related to the parents the non-biological child

is. These theoretical predictions are borne out

by an empirical investigation using Malaw-

ian data.

Richard also investigates the im-

pact of fertility (number of children) on

poverty in rural Malawi. After accounting for

endogeniety of fertility by using a recursive

bivariate probit, he finds that fertility

increases the probability of being objectively

poor. When poverty is measured subjec-

tively, the results are opposite to those of ob-

jective poverty. He finds that fertility lowers

the likelihood of feeling poor, and that fertil-

ity is exogenous with respect to subjective

poverty.

*Karl Willem Pauw

Thesis Title: Labour Market Policy andPoverty: Identifying and Modelling the Pathways to the Poor

Karl Pauw is a development economist with

a research interest in issues around labour

markets, poverty and household income

distribution. He obtained a BCom (Mathe-

matics) degree in 1996 and a BCom(Hons)

in Economics in 1998 (cum laude) from the

University of Stellenbosch. He was awarded

the degree MCom(Economics) in 2002 from

the University of Cape Town, also with

distinction.

Karl Pauw’s PhD dissertation fo-

cused on the integration of economy-wide

and microeconomic modelling techniques in

order to formalize the complex relationships

that exist between labour markets and

households in a comprehensive modelling

framework and to apply the model to evalu-

ate the impact of labour market policies on

household poverty in South Africa. His

analysis reveals that poverty can be linked

both to low wage levels earned by many of

the employed and high levels of unemploy-

ment. In line with this the dissertation goes

on to use the derived macro-micro model to

evaluate two labour market policy measures;

minimum wages and firm-side wage

subsidies. The modelling shows that small

but positive poverty effects are realised under

both policy options. This outcome is sensi-

tive to how responsive employers are to

wage changes; with minimum wages being

more effective when the associated employ-

ment losses are limited, while wage subsidies

generate superior outcomes when employ-

ment gains are large. Both policies are shown

to have potentially important implications for

production costs and consumer prices. In ad-

dition, the way in which income and em-

ployment gains or losses are distributed

among individuals is central to determining

net poverty effects. Therefore, targeting of

policies is a key consideration.

In Information Systems:Lyn Avril Hanmer

Thesis Title: Factors associated with thesuccessful implementation of ComputerisedHospital Information Systems in South Africa

Lynn Hanmer was born in Cape Town.

In 1974, she graduated with a BSc(Eng) in

Electrical Engineering at UCT. She com-

pleted a MSc degree in Engineering in the

Biomedical Engineering at UCT in 1976 and

proceeded to Strathclyde University in

Glasgow as a British Council Scholar. Since

graduating in 1977 she has worked in the

design, management and evaluation of health

information systems in South Africa.

Currently she is a research manager at the

Medical Research Council.

In Lyn Hanmer’s thesis research, a

conceptual model of Computerised Hospital

Information System (CHIS) use was

developed and refined, in order to improve

understanding of factors associated with

successful CHIS implementation in level 1

and level 2 public sector hospitals in two

South African provinces (sometimes referred

to as district and regional hospitals,

respectively).

The model was developed in three

phases – a pilot case study in three level 2

hospitals; a detailed case study in one level 2

hospital, and a survey of level 1 and level 2

hospitals in two provinces.

The conceptual model of CHIS use

is a major output of this study. The survey

results confirmed that the factors of the con-

ceptual model are associated with CHIS suc-

cess in level 1 and level 2 hospitals in the

study provinces, and supported most of the

relationships between the factors in the

model. The study provides unique insights

into the CHIS implementations in rather

poorly resourced environments, thereby

contributing to a growing literature on health

information system development, imple-

mentation and use in developing areas from

the perspective of information system

success modelling, health information sys-

tem evaluation, and a developing country

context.

Nixon Muganda Ochara

Thesis Title: The E-Government Artifact in the Context of a Developing Country: towards a Nomadic Framework

Nixon Muganda Ochara was born and grew

up in Kenya. He obtained his B.Com in

Management Science in 1996 and his MBA

(majoring in Information Systems) in 2001,

both at the University of Nairobi. Although

he is currently a lecturer at the University of

Nairobi, he spent most of his PhD studies

full-time in Cape Town.

Nixon’s thesis is concerned with

exploring the conceptualization of the

e-government artifact relevant to developing

countries in Africa. The premise is that

e-government, as an artifact of human

conception, remains relatively poorly devel-

oped at the levels of theory, methodologies

and practice. His investigation focused on

two problematic areas of e-government: its

conceptualization and its operationalization

as an artifact.

To this end he investigated e-gov-

ernment in Kenya at the macro level namely

through national policy and a country-wide

e-Government assessment, surveyed close to

100 governmental institutions on their

e-Government infrastructure and experi-

ences, and did an in-depth qualitative case

study for a local government.

He drew on a number of different

perspectives, including the concept of social

exclusion, to come up with a nomadic e-gov-

ernment model for building information

infrastructures. It is hoped that adoption of

the proposed framework will minimize the

unintended negative social implications of

future e-Government projects. Some of his

findings have already been published in a

number of prestigious academic journals.
