(SAGE, 2022-02)
This article traces a pedagogical trajectory in South African higher education that started in engineering education and leads to walking-as-research. Situated on District Six, a well-known site of apartheid forced removals, ...
A stochastic population model of cholera disease
(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2022-02)
A cholera population model with stochastic transmission and stochasticity on the environmental reservoir of the cholera bacteria is presented. It is shown that solutions are well-behaved. In comparison with the underlying ...
Leveraging Google Earth engine platform to characterize and map small seasonal wetlands in the semi-arid environments of South Africa
(Elsevier, 2022)
Although significant scientific research strides have been made in mapping the spatial extents and
ecohydrological dynamics of wetlands in semi-arid environments, the focus on small wetlands remains a challenge. This is ...
Investigating the disjoint between education and health policy for infant feeding among teenage mothers in South Africa: a case for intersectoral work
(BMC, 2022)
Background: Many low-and-middle-income countries, including South Africa, have high rates of teenage preg‑

retrospectively ...
The MeerKAT Galaxy Cluster Legacy Survey: Survey overview and highlights
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
MeerKAT’s large number (64) of 13.5 m diameter antennas, spanning 8 km with a densely packed 1 km core, create a powerful instrument for wide-area surveys, with high sensitivity over a wide range of angular scales. The ...
The Copernican principle in light of the latest cosmological data
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
We pursue a program to confront observations with inhomogeneous extensions of the FLRW metric. The main idea is to test the Copernican principle (CP) rather than assuming it a priori. We consider the CDM model endowed with ...
A deep radio view of the evolution of the cosmic star formation rate density from a stellar-mass-selected sample in VLA-COSMOS
(Royal Astronomical Society, 2022)
We present the 1.4 GHz radio luminosity functions (RLFs) of galaxies in the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) field, measured above and below the 5σ detection threshold, using a Bayesian model-fitting technique. The radio ...
