Abstract:
Human diversity in general and workforce diversity in particular present both
challenges and opportunities for individuals, organisational leaders, work teams,
organisations and society. Maximising the advantages of diversity and minimising its
potential disadvantages require, first and foremost, that the concept of diversity and
the practice of diversity management be correctly defined and demystified. This
presentation will address the concept and practice within the contexts of the
socialisation process, inputs and outputs, team work and collaboration, service
delivery and customer service, as well as leadership in the changing world of work.
Furthermore, the presentation will unpack universal principles in diversity and their
application in dealing effectively with local diversity dynamics. It will also highlight, in
a constructive and educational spirit, our own hidden biases that impact decisionmaking, problem-solving, creativity and innovation in today’ diverse landscape.
Finally, the presentation will visit key motivational themes that would provide holistic
perspectives that are aimed at unleashing winning work behaviours for one’s own
career success.

Latest trends on cyber crimes
Prof Visvanathan Naicker
PhD (Management)
Professor of Information Communications and Technology
Joined the University of the Western Cape in 2007 after spending 22 years in the
corporate world as an Information Technology specialist, and thereafter I joined
UNISA in 2013. In the last six and a half years, I have produced over 20 peerreviewed articles, two books and presently 9 articles under review in accredited
journals. My career as an information professional has included a focus on the
relationship between information and business science, retail science, and
education. I believe in reflective and empirical evidence-based practices. Thus, I
have been active in research involving information use and instruction from my
perspective as an ICT professor. During my PhD studies, time allowed me to extend
these interests to focus on the use of computers in secondary education as well.
My career as an information technology professional has two clear focal areas: on
the relationship between information technology and businesses, and on the use of
information technology in secondary school education. These two areas by no
means detract from my dedicated research in Information Technology, but rather
enhance it. Most businesses are overwhelmed with an array of technological tools
that have become available to them in order to remain competitive. The manner in
which these two areas are fused is that information technology plays a vital role in
the technologies being used in secondary schools to improve education and
information technology should be used as a vehicle to enhance business
competitiveness.

My research foci in the business space are innovation and technology, retail
systems, business intelligence, cybercrime and competitive intelligence which are all
connected to real life applications to the business world. I am interested in defining a
new avenue of research related to the use of distributed computing in personal,
social, and institutional environments. Through this analysis my research seeks to
further understand the slow paced characteristics of South Africa's digital economy
from a technological viewpoint, both in businesses and in secondary schools.

PAPER
In this presentation service delivery is unpacked. In particular the idea of “service” to
heterogeneous society within different expectations and measures of satisfaction is
analysed comprehensively. Once unpacked, the implications for this understanding
of service to professional police is assessed. In particular reflections on processes,
standards and management systems are explored from a police environment
perspective. Consequently a few considerations are proposed for the police to
influence the its environment to be “service delivery” oriented. In conclusion, a few
open questions are posed that are meant to stimulate debate and influence the
discussions during the workshop.

representative of The Violent Crimes against Children International Task Force
(VCACITF).
The internet has brought the world to our children’s fingertips providing access to
vast resources of information and the opportunity to communicate with people from
around the world. Smart devices and social media have become part of our
children’s lives and they have strongly influenced how our children create, share or
exchange information with others. Unfortunately the same devices and applications
have been embraced by sex offenders, who have proven to be skilled to gain access
to children. Heinous, horrendous and malicious sexual crimes against children
happen every second of everyday around the country, moving South Africa’s social
history towards being nothing more than a catalogue of child sexual abuse and
exploitation. Infarct, given that children are struggling to live normally in an
emotionally, physically and psychologically-toxic social environment in a society
where social consensus against intergenerational sex is fast disappearing from its
culture. South Africa seems to have moved from being a racial apartheid state (for
segregation and discrimination on the grounds of race) to a child sexual apartheid
state (on the grounds of the sexual abuse and exploitation of children).

Terrorism and Illegal Trafficking of firearms
Mr Mpho Matlala
M Tech Policing, currently studying D Litt et Phil
Mpho is a Lecturer at School of Criminal Justice, UNISA since 2009 and has
previously served as a Police Captain within the South African Police Service.
The 1994 democratisation of South Africa marked the end of western-centric
oppressive rule in Africa. Post this epoch, Africa under the AU collective, began to
seek new ways to reposition itself as a progressive continent. The one point of
departure in this regard was to find solutions to sustainable peace, security and
economic growth. The dawn of the 21st Century was thus recognised globally as the
era of the African Renaissance. The same century has at its genesis, registered
some notable successes towards attaining peace and security. The ending of the
wars in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea-Bissau; peace in the DRC after violent
elections, although parts of the country remain volatile; and the 2005 return to
democracy in Mauritania, are some of the feats.
Despite the achievements,
organised crime and terrorism however continue to present problems. SADC also
faces the same challenges.
The lack of resources, poor intelligence, vast
geographical areas, borders, coastlines and poor regional policing are some of the
contributing factors. To keep security, one of the key interventions would thus have
to include the intensification of studies on the complex interactions between police
work, organised crime and terrorism.
For the police, efficiency in dealing with
organised crime could never be separated from efficiency in dealing with terrorism.
Terror attacks have resulted in many lives lost and has caused humanitarian crises
globally. The 9/11 attacks on the WTC in 2001, the 2013 Nairobi shopping mall
attack, the 2015 Paris satirical magazine attack on staff, the 2015 suicide bombing in
Copenhagen, the ongoing killings and displacement of civilians by Boko Haram and
al Shabaab in Africa, and the public beheadings by ISIS in some parts of Asia, attest
to the horrors. To keep security, SADC needs to proactively guard against terror
activities overflowing into the region. Thus, regional powers need to commit more
resources, increase political will towards law enforcement, and adapt to innovative
policing approaches.

Trafficking in person is a crime that ruthlessly exploits and women, children and men
for numerous purposes, including forced labour and sex. This global crime generates
billions of dollars in profits for the traffickers. Every country in the world is affected by
trafficking in persons whether as a country of origin, transit, or destination for victims.
Trafficking in Person is not only one of the fastest growing criminal activities in the
world but a serious violation of human rights, in particular of women and girls.
Trafficking in Persons requires a forceful response funded on the United Nations
Conventions against Transnational Organised Crime and its protocol to prevent,
suppress and punish Trafficking in Person, especially women and children. Efforts to
prevent and combat this crime should be centered on assistance to victims and
promotion and protection of their rights while strengthening the criminal justice
response and increasing cooperation and coordination.
AIM
This paper will address the differential impacts of Trafficking in Person on women,
children and men.
The challenges and plight of victims of Trafficking in Persons.
The challenges in developing prevention policies and lack of such policies and

Involved in the writing of the new North West Animal Pounds Act, Act 7/2010.
Challenges faces by Stock theft Units
Lack of municipal /state owned pound in SA
Lack of legislations or By laws to regulate the speculators for buying stock from the
villages
Cross Border fences between two countries RSA and Botswana are not in good
conditions and as a results of that Animal Diseases might be brought to either one
country or the other.
Many stray stock animal from other e.g Botswana have been recovered in South
Africa and it seems as if farmers of SA and other countries do not look or take care
of their stock .
Failure to brand mark or tattoo of the stock by the farmers leads to impoundment of
that stock.
Recommendations
The Department of Agriculture should upgrade the border fences, maintain them
properly in order to prevent the live stock from entering SA VISA VERSA.
Relationship between SA and other SARPCOO countries need to be retained
Border patrols on both sides of the border should be increased.
Regular cross border meetings between policing agencies should take place in order
to share information and to plan operations

PAPER
Theft of motor vehicles by people who intend to make profit out of them, the
movements of motor vehicles across national borders into other countries suggest
that theft of motor vehicles is a transnational organised crime. Criminals do not
respect geographical borders when committing vehicle crime, they operate in a
borderless world while the law enforcement agencies are significantly constrained by
having to operate in a bordered world.
Unscrupulous border officials and inefficient law enforcement assists the criminals in
continuing with their trans border criminal activities.A motor vehicle appears to be the
most targeted commodity in South Africa because it is considered as the largest
investment which an average household will make. Not forgetting that this crime is
closely intertwined with trafficking in human beings and human organs, drugs,
firearms, counterfeit goods, illegal cigarettes and other trans national crimes. It is
also regarded as a forerunner of other forms of violent crimes and is a hidden tax

ADV KAMBULA
B.IURIS and LLB degrees obtained from UNITRA. In 2007 she further acquired
a diploma in Advanced Management cum laude at MANCOSA.
is the Head of the Promotion of the Rights of Vulnerable Groups Unit in the
Department of Justice and Constitutional Development. She joined the Department
in October 2010. Her Unit is primarily mandated to establish and maintain a
transformed and accessible justice system that promotes the rights of women,
children, older persons, and persons with disabilities. Through initiatives, her unit is
tasked with the national implementation of legislation and policies relating to the
promotion and protection of the rights of vulnerable groups.
After the recorded success of the Wynberg Sexual Offences Court, in 1999 Adv
Kambula was tasked by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to initiate the rollout of these courts in the country, and under her leadership, the second Sexual
Offences Court was established in Mdantsane, EC during the same year. Her
commitment to the fight against sexual violence became more momentous when she
recently headed the Ministerial Task Team on Sexual Offences Courts, which the
Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development established in 2012. Under her
leadership, this Task Team successfully conducted an investigation into the viability
of the re-establishment of Sexual Offences Courts in South Africa, and subsequently
advised the Minister to re-establish these courts. Adv Kambula is now tasked by the
Department to lead the Sexual Offences Courts Project aimed at concretising the
recommendations of the Task Team.
Praise also specialises in the domestic violence field. During 2000 to 2003, she
successfully led a team of South African and Canadian writers who wrote the very
first Integrated Domestic Violence Training Manual Package. This work has now
been adopted by a number of African countries. Her compassion to the
disadvantaged yielded into the birth of the Ndabezitha Programme in 2005, which
she developed and led whilst she was employed at NPA. This Programme is a ruralbased intervention that seeks to end cultural practices leading to domestic violence.
It is a national programme that involves traditional leaders, and is still moving strong.
In 2010, Adv Kambula authored the ‘My Safety Plan’ booklet aimed at encouraging
the victims of domestic violence to take precautionary steps to escape from the
violent attacks unharmed. This initiative seeks to reduce the rate of domestic
homicides in the country, and it was launched by the Department of Justice and
Constitutional Development in 2013.
In her career, Adv Kambula has delivered papers both at national and international
platforms and has participated in many media interventions on issues related to
gender-based violence. In her spare time, she takes pride in serving her community
