  1. The Internationalization of Professional Preparation Programmes in South Africa

  2. There was an Indian, who had known no change, Who strayed content upon a sunlit beach Gathering shells. He heard a sudden strange Commingled noise: looked up; and gasped for speech. For in the bay, where nothing was before, Moved on the sea, by magic, huge canoes, With bellying cloths on poles, and not one oar. And fluttering coloured signs and clambering crews. And he, in fear, this naked man alone, His fallen hands forgetting all their shells, His lips gone pale, knelt low behind a stone, And stared, and saw, and did not understand, Columbus’s doom-burdened caravels Slant to the shore, and all her seamen land.
