Bougaard, Jodie
There is significant evidence that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 United States (US) Presidential election, including through direct attacks against US election infrastructure and internet-based disinformation. Interference in the US election in 2016 represented a particularly sophisticated intrusion due partly to the use of cyber operations as an interference tool. Open-source information provides insight into Russia's interference methods; however, the precise motivation for pursuing interference remains unknown. Russian incentives to interfere in the US Presidential elections in 2016 remain a topic of debate in academia, politics, media and popular culture.

Mvimbi, Thuthuzelekani
This research focuses on property developments that are gentrifying the inner-city of Cape Town
and questions why and how the City of Cape Town (COCT) is gentrifying the inner-city. This
research examines the role of the COCT in property developments that are occurringin Salt River,
Woodstock, and Bo-Kaap. The study used the qualitative research method and an exploratory
research design. The study is significant because the conceptualization of this dissertation is rooted
in political philosophy, and it applied the instrumental state theory to the casestudy. This theory was
applied to the case study to unravel urban politics by demonstrating ways in which the state
manages the urban centrum through implementing policies that are aimed at creating economic,
spatial, and infrastructure developments.

Fumba, Nheo
Post-apartheid South Africa has strived for change through the implementation of preferential procurement policy legislations such as the Black Economic Empowerment Act, Employment Equality Act, as well as the right to education for all has opened opportunities for many who were previously disadvantage. Being black in apartheid South Africa meant being middle class came with many constant difficulties of negotiating boundaries with community members that were not middle class and spaces that were middle class but white, thus raising several racial dynamics not experienced at ‘home.’ Being black in post-apartheid South Africa has also come with difficulties of constantly evolving social identity changes and categorisation.
