The word discipline means to impart knowledge and skill – to teach. However, it is often equated with punishment and control. There is a great deal of controversy about the appropriate ways to discipline children, and parents are often confused about effective ways to set limits and instill self-control in their child.

In medical and secular literature, there is great diversity of opinion about the short-term and long-term effects of various disciplinary methods, especially the use of disciplinary spanking. This statement reviews the issues concerning childhood discipline and offers practical guidelines for physicians to use in counselling parents about effective discipline.

The SylvesterMashilo Foundation has a 3 pronged focus. The Mentorship of Boys between the ages of 8-16. Why are we focusing on these boys under the theme “rediscovering the heart of a boy to a man”? Without an intentional upbringing of our boys we run the risk of the vicious cycle of broken men continuing to plague our society. Think of the men who commit a rape or murder (GBVF) at the age of 30. These men didn’t just wake up broken. The brokenness in most cases can be traced back to childhood. When this men was just a boy.

Litigation is often the first route that parties take when a dispute arises. It is often pursued when it is evident that the other party does not wish to co-operate and litigation thus ensures that the matter is adjudicated. The decision of the court binds the parties. But there are many downfalls to litigation, especially when the parties have familial ties or run in the same crowds. It may even extend to the employer-employee relationship where a dispute arises, but the employee does not wish to exit the company. So what alternatives to litigation are there when a dispute arises?

Appointing former prisoners – or ex-offenders – as prison wardens is an international trend in corrections from which South Africa’s Department of Correctional Services can take constructive note. This idea has gained traction with recent budget cuts in the department. It has informed parliament that its mandate of rehabilitation might be affected negatively because many posts in prisons will remain vacant.

The Department of Correctional Services has been plagued by high levels of violence in prisons as well as a critical shortage of personnel. This is in the context of unsustainable rates of re-offending and little rehabilitation. It’s a circular problem.
