Abstract

Professor Frank Horwitz, for finding time in his very busy schedule to supervise the start of my thesis. Dr Linda Ronnie for agreeing to be my co-supervisor when Professor Horwitz emigrated. Professor Seyi Ladele (Dele) Amosun for being my co-supervisor, for all his encouragement, belief, support, and understanding of my work. My participants for their willingness to share their life stories and experiences so openly. Without their enthusiasm and involvement, this research would not have been possible. William Daniels and Amina Adam of the Research Commons for their technical support, assistance and encouragement. Professor Andre Görgens for his assistance with regard to the structure and content of my thesis. Elise Varga for her very thorough editing and valuable comments. Dr Brian Watermeyer for his friendship, perspective, ongoing support and advice. Tristan Görgens for his input, support and proofreading. The Harry Crossley Foundation, for the doctoral research funding that made this study possible, their belief in my work, and their ongoing support and encouragement. My parents Anne and Derek Coop their support and encouragement, technical advice, tireless babysitting, and endless editing and proofreading. My wonderful husband Vic McKinney for all of his love, enduring support, perspective and endless editing of my final drafts of my thesis. Without his support, this work would not have been possible, and I dedicate this thesis to him and our baby son James.
