    MENTORING IN THE VUK’UPHILE PUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMME
    (2012-10-08) NJOKO, MUZIWOKUTHULA
    Skills shortages in the construction industry is well known, to remedy the situation government as a participant in the industry has come up with programmes to mentor young people who are interested in the industry. The purpose of this study was to determine if mentorship can be relied upon to improve the skills shortages in the construction industry. The study was conducted on the Vuk’uphile public works programme. One of the main findings of the research was that formal mentoring is best suited to get the desired results. The research also established that implementing a mentorship programme has to involve all stakeholders from the onset and the target for mentorship is well defined. Mentoring is costly; as such the beneficiaries must pay for the skills gained in the programme.

    THE MENTORING OF PASTORS IN THE ASSEMBLIES OF GOD CHURCH IN SOUTH AFRICA
    (2012-10-04) MAPHANGA, MPUMELELO JACKSON
    This study examines the mentoring of pastors in the Assemblies of God church in South Africa. The church previously had quality leaders, and the problem is that the: quality leadership is waning. The purpose is to assess current church mentoring against the transformational model in the literature, which argues for this model to address knowledge gap. I argue that mentoring pastors will benefit all people. I choose the critical social science framework, and other theories for analysis. I use the qualitative approach, for field study, on the historical-comparative technique. From a pastor- population, a small sample is selected, and data analysed on themes, and collected through interviews. Findings reveal that the church operates on an undeveloped traditional mentoring model, and church power structures oppress pastors. The assessment shows that transformational model is relevant. Conclusions outline suggestions and recommendations. Research is limited to the organisational, researcher, communication, geographical, gender, time, and literature aspects
