The total residual concentration of each monitored impurity determines the overall process efficiency attained by the plant; the residual concentration of non-separable particles determines the process efficiency attainable by the technology used. At present the formation of flocculent suspension and its gravity separation are lengthy processes varying between 3 and 4.5 hours. Consequently this resulted in high capital costs. Therefore, reconsideration of the kinetics of formation of flocculent suspensions and its effect on the gravity separation of formed suspension was needed to develop a new water purification technology through unconventional, open-minded considerations of technologies likely to be in direct disagreement with traditional ways of thinking in water purification engineering. The current method for the use of water soluble polymers results in a deterioration of the purified water quality and detrimentally affects the operation of filters. Therefore the development of a method for using these polymers, free of side effects, is also essential. A new technology, the High Rate Clarification Technology, combining the Inline High Density Suspension formation process for producing dense microaggregates, and the Post-Orthokinetic Agglomeration process for agglomerating micro-aggregates into large rapidly settling agglomerates was used. The findings in this study indicate that HRCT technology reduces the time taken during aggregation process into a few minutes and increases the sedimentation velocity of the formed suspension to more than 20 m.h-1. This reduces the retention time in the clarifier to below 30 minutes. Two High Rate types of clarifiers, namely HR Clarifier and P-Clarifier, incorporating the principles of High Rate Clarification Technology (HRCT), were developed. These clarifiers were operated at different localities purifying surface water to a potable quality as well as recovering water from clarifier sludge and the desilting of underground mine water. The results achieved through utilisation of both clarifiers deploying High Rate Clarification Technology (HRCT) attained unprecedented water purification quality. The study finds that the impact of HRCT on water purification engineering processes is significant since HRCT not only significantly reduced the size of flocculation plants and clarifiers or sedimentation tanks in comparison to traditional designs but purified surface water to high potable quality provided that hydrolyzing coagulants are used and applied under optimized reaction conditions.

South Africa faces complex challenges in managing its fiscal policies, where the effectiveness of governance institutions plays a pivotal role in shaping the economic landscape. The objective of this research is to examine the influence of governance practices on fiscal policies, specifically focusing on taxation, government expenditure, and budget allocation. The fiscal policies mentioned above have consequences on managerial decision-making in both the public and commercial sectors. This study examines the influence of political stability, openness, and accountability in governance on the formulation of economic policy decisions in South Africa. This article analyzes the influence of these attributes on the predictability of fiscal policies, a crucial factor to be taken into account for strategic long-term planning and investment decision-making. Furthermore, this study examines the importance of regulatory bodies, such as the National Treasury and the South African Revenue Service (SARS), in establishing fiscal policy and exerting impact on management decision-making. Furthermore, it underscores the deep interconnections between governance performance and many factors such as fiscal deficits, debt sustainability, and economic inequality. The objective of this study is to examine the potential impact of macroeconomic conditions on the decision-making process of managers. This encompasses several aspects such as resource allocation, investment planning, and the application of risk management strategies. The study concludes by emphasizing the significance of building a harmonious relationship between fiscal policy and governance in order to foster a conducive environment for managerial decision-making. The possible benefits of implementing robust governance structures include enhancing the stability of fiscal policies, reducing uncertainty, and promoting economic growth. Consequently, managers in both the public and private sectors can reap rewards from such measures. The abstract highlights the importance of continuous research and policy evaluation in effectively navigating the dynamic landscape of fiscal policy and governance in South Africa.

Vocational skills-related sectors in the construction industry's formal and informal sectors were affected due to their unpreparedness and inadequate coping capacities to shocks and trends posed by the pandemic. Reliance on digital platforms and relevant skills to continue with work has exhumed existing inequalities on skills shortages, imbalances and digital competences divide in the construction industry. The study is a synthesis of literature review of secondary data extracted from different sources including journals, progress reports and other knowledge products. The study maintains that the new labour processes influenced by fourth industrial revolution advancements and COVID-19 disruptions create the need to rethink education and its relation to and our understanding of the concept of "employability" in the South African context. This calls for reskilling and upskilling to meet skills demands of the labour market and address the skills mismatch and align skills needs with the ever fluid labour trends. The study draws forward-looking recommendations to build and strengthen effective relationships between vocational skills training (public/private and workplace providers) and build strong Teachers and Higher Education
