DISTINGUISHED TEACHER AWARD
The Distinguished Teacher Award, given once only to an individual, recognises teaching at any or all levels by
a member of the faculty that has made a significant and lasting impression on students.
Previous recipients in the Faculty of Commerce have been:
1986:
2001:
2006:
2008:
2009:
2011:
DE Kaplan (GSB)
N Nattrass (Economics)
J Burns (Economics)
LC Smith (Economics)
CJ Fourie (Education Development Unit)
T Low (Statistical Sciences)
The following member of the Faculty of Commerce has been chosen for this award in 2013:
Paul Maughan
College of Accounting
Paul Maughan teaches in the College of Accounting. He was one of the main drivers behind the introduction
of a capstone course, Business Analysis and Governance, for the Chartered Accounting stream, designed in
response to the new competency framework of the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants, and
developed to enhance the pervasive skills, or what UCT refers to as ‘graduate attributes’, that this curriculum
aims to provide.
The Head of College of Accounting notes that the course is an outstanding success; in his 20 years at UCT he
had never seen undergraduate students engaged to such an extent with a single course. This success is largely as
a result of Paul Maughan’s ability to challenge students to deal with the business world and to encourage them
to participate, by using a variety of novel teaching methodologies that included: a mergers-and-acquisition
project where students compete in groups; a JSE share trading competition, using real companies as case
studies; and the explicit promotion of pervasive skills. At the final 2012 lecture, where winning teams gave an
‘idols style’ presentation he was given a standing ovation by the class. The course has garnered much positive
informal feedback from parents, partners at accounting firms and others about how relevant and useful the
students found it.
A fundamental insight which underpins Paul Maughan’s teaching philosophy has been Ken Bain’s view that
effective teaching results in deep learning, and that it is best achieved through disruption of existing mental
models. If students can be quickly confronted with the fact that they do not have the necessary mental models
to deal with a scenario, they are more receptive to learn, and more likely to retain that enhanced mental model.
He wants his students not only to learn the tools related to finance and accounting, but for them to have an
awareness of the tools that other disciplines offer. That he succeeds is exemplified by a student who wrote:
“Teaching isn’t just being able to give out content but for me it’s a lecturer that is able to stir me up to learn,
read and have passion for learning more, and Paul exhibits all these qualities.” Another noted that “had it not
been for the introduction of this pivotal course at UCT, I and my peers would not have understood what is was
we spent four years studying or how powerful and valuable that knowledge was to the world”.

DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF
PHILOSOPHY
In Economics:
Johane Dikgang
Thesis Title: The economic value of
natural resources around the Kgalagadi
Transfrontier Park and implications for
the Khomani San in South Africa
Johane Dikgang received his BCom and
MCom degrees from the Department
of Economics at the Nelson Mandela
Metropolitan University in 2005 and
2008 respectively. He joined UCT’s
Environmental Policy Research Unit
(EPRU) as a Junior Research Fellow in
2008 and enrolled into the PhD program in
Economics in 2010.
Johane Dikgang’s thesis focuses
on the land claim by the Khomani San
and Mier communities on the Kgalagadi
Transfrontier Park. The key challenge
facing the Kgalagadi area is how to balance
conservation and beneficiaries’ rights
to land and natural resources. His thesis
has three objectives. First, he assesses
whether land restitution has helped
reduced poverty. Second, he investigates
the value that the Khomani San assign to
modern conservation under various land
tenure arrangements. Third, he determines
whether there is scope to generate
additional revenues which could then be
shared with the Khomani San. His results
indicate that land restitution does not have
any impact on poverty reduction. However,
the Khomani San can be trusted to be good
environmental stewards and there is scope
to generate revenue for sharing with them.
His thesis concludes that conservation
schemes in the Kgalagadi area must involve
the Khomani San to be successful.

Mamello Amelia Nchake
Thesis Title: Product market integration in
developing countries
Mamello Nchake has a BA in Economics
and Statistics from the National University
of Lesotho and a MSc in Economics from
the University of Zimbabwe. Prior to
commencing her PhD, she was employed
as a lecturer at the National University of
Lesotho.
Mamello
Nchake’s
thesis
analyses the extent and determinants of
product market integration in emerging
economies in Southern Africa, with a
focus on Lesotho. It draws upon a unique
database of monthly consumer prices at the
retail level. The thesis provides deep insight
into price setting behaviour of retail outlets
in Lesotho and challenges the validity of
existing economic theories used to model
pricing behaviour in emerging economies.
The results also reveal that product markets
in Botswana, South Africa and Lesotho
remain segmented despite trade and
monetary policies to enhance integration.
Finally, through exploiting distinct policy
changes in Botswana’s monetary policy,
the thesis is able to identify that closer
alignment of exchanges rates and interest
rates are effective in increasing the
integration of product markets.

Susan Lynne Snyman
Thesis title: High-end ecotourism and
rural communities in southern Africa:
a socio-economic analysis
Susan Snyman obtained her BBusSc in
Economics from UCT in 1997. Subsequent
to that she spent 17 years working with
rural communities in areas adjoining
southern African conservation areas. Her
work in Addo contributed to her obtaining
her MBusSc in Economics from UCT in
2009, and provided the foundations of her
doctoral research.
Susan Snyman’s thesis focuses
on the implications of eco-tourism for
communities working in, and living near,
conservation areas and high-end ecotourism
camps in six southern Africa countries. She
interviewed over 1800 rural households
in order to establish the incentives that
matter most to these communities; how
ecotourism affects household incomes, and
the determinants of community attitudes to
conservation and ecotourism. The findings
highlight the importance of ecotourism
employment, formal education, livelihood
diversification and family employment in
conservation or ecotourism in determining
rural household incomes, but also identify
such problems as human-wildlife conflict
and the potential instability of tourism
related earnings. The thesis argues that
eco-tourism’s benefits to households are
not simply pecuniary; a steady, permanent
income from the employment it offers
allows households to broaden their asset
bases and their sources of income. It also
highlights the importance of understanding
and managing community expectations
in achieving long term sustainable
relationships.

Byela Kokueleza Tibesigwa
Thesis Title: An economic perspective on
the influence of social interaction on risky
behaviours
Byela Tibesigwa holds a BA and MA from
the University of Botswana. She has been a
PhD candidate in the School of Economics
under Commerce Faculty since 2007.
During the course of her PhD journey and as
a junior research fellow in Environmental
Policy and Research Unit (EPRU) she has
been part of various research projects.
Byela Tibesigwa’s thesis makes
an empirical investigation into the role of
social interaction on risk taking behaviour.
The thesis consists of three self-contained
papers, each with the aim of unearthing the
overall theme. Two risks are investigated,
with the first being sexual behaviour
associated with the risk of HIV infection,
and the second relating to crimes of social
behaviours. The first paper analyses the
influence of social norms and social pressure
on multiple partnerships. The second paper
examines the role of expected health and
the contextual effect of health uncertainty
on risky sex. The third paper assesses
the influence of social disorganisation
on contact and contact related crime. In
general, the thesis finds social interaction
to be significant in influencing risky
behaviours and this appears to be the case
for both men and women and between the
Eastern and Southern Africa region.

Salah Kemilembe Kabanda
Thesis Title: E-commerce and Small and
Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in least
developed countries: the case of Tanzania
Maureen Cynthia Tanner
Thesis Title: Social conditions leading to
scrum process breakdowns during global
agile software development: a theory of
practice perspective
Salah Kabanda has a BCom(Hons) in
Information Systems from the University
of the North West, and an MSc in
Computer Science from the University of
Zululand. She has been studying at UCT in
the Information Systems Department since
2008, having joined the department as a
lecturer in 2007.
Salah Kabanda’s thesis examines
how E-Commerce is typically made sense
of by Tanzanian SMEs and how the sense
making is produced, sustained and affected
by environmental and organisational
conditions. A phased approach to data
analysis is adopted – firstly thematic
analysis is used to report on SME owner’s
experiences and meanings. Secondly, the
theory of communicative action is used
as a complementary analytical approach.
Finally structuration theory is employed as
a lens to interpret the findings. Findings in
this study show that SME owners for the
most part view E-Commerce as merely
having a static web presence that acts as a
marketing instrument of the organisation,
coupled with the significant use of the
mobile device. SME owners frequently
use mobile technology, but engage in
limited use of websites as they draw
upon their understanding of websites as
being incompatible with Tanzanian sociocultural beliefs. Websites are nevertheless
perceived as a platform from which they
could continue to build a sophisticated
image and advertise/market their products.
A problem-solving practice with foreign
partners is also enacted through social
networking websites, with the purpose of
mitigating most of the local web based
E-Commerce challenges.
Maureen Tanner has a BEng(Hons) degree
in Computer Science & Engineering from
the University of Mauritius and an MCom
in Information Systems with distinction
from UCT. She has been conducting her
doctoral research and working as a lecturer
in the Information Systems Department of
UCT since 2008.
Maureen
Tanner’s
thesis
examines the social and contextual factors
influencing the practice of distributed
agile software development within the
Global Software Development context.
Empirical, qualitative, and critical in
nature, her study employs multiple case
studies. The analysis is undertaken through
the lens of Bourdieu’s Theory of Practice.
Maureen Tanner’s study proposes an
elaborate discussion of the complex social
processes within distributed agile teams.
She reveals the resource constrained
games of communication at play within the
teams, the innovative nature of software
projects, agendas, objectives and political
aspirations of participants, and perceptions
of various stakeholders of distributed
agile projects. She concludes from her
findings that distributed agile software
development is innovative in nature and
requires some degree of improvisation.
She further proposes that practitioners
should be reflective while using so-called
industry “best-practices”, as the context of
use, and participants’ characteristics, past
experiences, internal values, and beliefs,
influence agile work practices.

The University is a community of scholars, students and staff. A community implies the
shared acceptance by its members of common values. The concept of values implies not only
rights but also obligations, for the community itself and for its individual members.
This Statement of Values provides a framework that informs and governs what is considered
by the University community to be appropriate and acceptable behaviour. The Statement also
serves as the foundation for a range of University policies and guides the management of
particular aspects of University life.
As a value-based community, we aspire to an encompassing ethos which:
• Promotes academic excellence and the attainment of the institutional goal of becoming a
world-class African University.

• Affirms and protects the fundamental human rights enshrined in the Constitution.
• Encourages the institution and all its members to accept responsibility for the welfare of the
community and for behaving in accordance with these community values.
Values:
We commit ourselves to:
• Truth, fairness, consistency and integrity in both academic and other work, and in all
personal and institutional relationships.
• Compassion, generosity and concern for the needs and aspirations of others, and in
particular for the challenges faced by the less privileged in our society.
• Respect and tolerance for cultural, religious, political, and other differences and
acknowledge of the value of diversity in society.
• Respect for the individual privacy, dignity and the right to personal choice.
• Intellectual honesty, vigour in debate, openness to alternative ideas and respect for other
views, beliefs and opinions.
• Commitment to high standards, personal fulfilment and the pursuit of excellence.
• The protection and responsible use of the University’s assets and resources.
Actions:
In the context of our recent history, we recognize the importance of affirming this ethos and
promoting these shared values. Accordingly, we undertake collectively and individually:
• To promote and protect academic freedom.
• To oppose and take steps to prevent racial, gender or other forms of unfair discrimination,
harassment, violence or abuse.
• To actively promote social justice and equity.
• To nurture a culture of learning which are supportive of students, scholars and teachers.
• To refrain from speech or conduct that demeans or humiliates others.
• To encourage our members to enjoy life, to laugh, to love, to appreciate and take full
advantage of the wealth of opportunities available to use in academic endeavour, in making
friends, and in social, cultural and sporting activity.
• To advance the principle of open governance and to be fully accountable for our actions,
decisions, and the stewardship of the University’s resources and mission.
• To nurture and empower our members.
