Cet article se propose d’analyser le délitement des liens sociaux engendrés par les enjeuxfonciers autour de la forêt classée de Bossématié (FCB) dans la Sous-préfecture d’Abengourou.Il s’est agi à partir d’entretiens individuels et de groupe avec les acteurs relevant des différentes catégories sociales (infiltrés burkinabé, autochtones agni et allochtones) de saisir les logiques d’infiltration allogènes et leurs incidences sur la sécurité foncière au sein de la FCB et dans les localités environnantes. Les résultats obtenus indiquent qu’il y a une divergence d’interprétation de la FCB tant par les infiltrés burkinabé que par les nationaux (autochtones agni et allochtones). Cette divergence d’interprétation entraine une crise du lien social entre ces deux groupes sociaux.

Until the regicide of Yaa-Naa Yakubu Andani II, the Dagbon chieftaincy conflict – which has been intractable since the colonial era – was largely understudied. Nevertheless, the gruesome “murder” of the king provoked some scholarly interest in the Dagbon chieftaincy conflict. This article reviews significant scholarly works on the Dagbon chieftaincy conflict after the regicide.Also, it explores and interrogates the diverse perspectives which scholars have employed to explain the complexities of the conflict. Furthermore, it critiques some scholars’ uncritical acceptance that the rotational system of succession between the Abudu and Andani has been the tradition and presents the extent of its operation in Dagbon dynastic politics. Additionally, this article unearths some misrepresentations of historical facts and personalities and important dates. This article concludes that since historical truths play crucial roles in prosecuting intractablery to get the historical facts right in documenting them for posterity.

Youth unemployment and the quest for empowerment have led to a growing surge in youth volunteerism in South Africa. The objective of this paper is consequently to examine how youth volunteer activities (YVAs) have offered opportunities and created an enabling development environment for young men and women to be employable, thereby improving their qualityof life. To be able to achieve this objective, the researchers used quantitative methodologies to generate data for analysis. The researchers relied on secondary information from Statistics South Africa’s (StatsSA) database. The study found that the youth volunteer rate has increased over the past decade by 2.1 percentage points from 3.7% to 5.8%. It also found that youthvolunteerism has become a way of life and a route to fulltime employment that assured them and improved their quality of life.

The violent political situation and economic meltdown in Zimbabwe at the turn of the 21st century that saw a mass exit of Zimbabweans to other countries served as a catalyst for this study. Female teachers were among the historic outflow to neighbouring South Africa. Thus, this paper examined the experience of Zimbabwean female immigrant teachers in South Africa. Empirically, narrative interviews, were used together to elicit data. The author who was amongst the immigrant teachers gave a narration of her story. The interviews were electronically recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were analysed using the feminist critical discourse perspectives. The key findings speak to female immigrant teachers as resilient professionals who were able to overcome the challenges of resettling in South Africa. Zimbabwean female immigrant teachers have challenged prevailing stereotypes for instance that male dominance. Therefore, the South African government needs to enact policies that improve the plight of female immigrant teachers.

[En]The control of political spaces by some regimes prevents the mobilization of opposition in such spaces. This has led to the emergence of new forms of mobilization through social networks, which encourage the emergence of new forms of engagement, of participation in debates and the emergence of a new type of political actor in these virtual worlds called “new New Worlds” by Georges Balandier. In these spaces interactions between actors allow the appropriation of devolution processes by making citizens committed actors, attached to their territory, and, involved in ongoing dynamics.

This paper analyzes the place and role of women in political and social life in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The reflections are based on the postulate according to which the participation of men and women in public life is a necessary condition for both economic growth and social progress. Thus, by extending the debate on the perspectives inherent in the need for effective consideration of women’s assets in decision-making spheres, this article leads to two diametrically opposed trends. The first trend sees female leadership as a threat to the dominant male order. This trend allows representative oppositions to emerge between two irreconcilable roles: social incoherence and the risk for social organization. On the other hand, the second trend maintains that a more balanced representativeness between women and men is essential for better governance of society.
