“…One of the principal functions of the father is to instil discipline: it is his role to set the limits of behaviour (Dobson & Bauer 1990). E ective discipline requires not only wisdom, but also patience and persistence (Euvrard 2006;Rens 2005;Mentz & Wolhuter 2003;Drescher 1988). Discipline is one of the most important aspects requiring attention when training and educating a child; though discipline is concerned with authority and tasks, it also requires responsibility and duty on the part of the child (Pougnet et al 2011;Mentz & Wolhuter 2003;Nel & Steyn 1985).…”

This article is about the challenge of father absence and fatherlessness in the South African context, and the involving of concerned fathers. To address this challenge, an intervention was crucial as well as the training and equipping of fathers. This intervention consists of different fathers from the North West Province who responded to the challenge of father absence and fatherlessness after workshops presented in a narrative form. The workshops were based on research on fatherhood as this is conceptualized from a Biblical perspective. The research is necessary because South Africa experiences a challenge of absent fathers and fatherlessness. This research showed that the greatest problem with regard to fatherhood is centred on a man’s failure to resolve an identity crisis in the 21st century, but men are generally afraid to admit it. This problem has consequences for families and communities. Furthermore, this article reports on the responses and feedback of fathers and the supporting of literature in the research.

Christian fathers as role models of the church’s fulfillment of the Missio Dei in a fatherless society

MISSI

Families remain the world's oldest, most basic form of relationship. However, in the 21st century, families are undergoing multiple crises. The fact cannot be ignored that numerous families experience no fatherly presence. Several missiologists emphasise that a church with an understanding and vision of God's mission (missio Dei) must train parents to take up the task of nurturing children in faith. The term missional has true meaning. It is not merely a Christian buzz word or a catch phrase that families can use as an act. "Missional" should be viewed as an activity of God because it is rooted in Scripture and modelled by Christ. God has not given up on the vital role of the family. Therefore, family life requires the proactive impartation of biblical principles. The role of the family is accentuated within the biblical narrative and its importance is consistently brought to the attention of God's followers. Christian parenting entails that parents model and educate their children in conduct that embraces God's compassion for people who do not enjoy a living relationship with him. Christian fatherhood 2 can guard against father absenteeism since Christian fathers lead sacrificial lives for the sake of their families. The hearts of Christian fathers are filled with a God-given mission aiming to instil a love for Christ in the hearts of their children.

“…The problem concerning student discipline in South African schools and its effective management has consequently been researched from a variety of angles, including the experiences of school principals, educators, and students (Mentz, Wolhuter, & Steyn, 2003;Wolhuter & Oosthuizen, 2003). Comparative research indicates that one of the correlates of the state of student discipline at a school is school-related factors.…”

This article investigates the relationship between effective organizational culture and student discipline in a boys' boarding house at an urban South African school. Ethnographical methods (observation and interviews) were employed. The study reports on the results pertaining to organizational culture, namely, tangible manifestations of the organizational culture, that is, traditions, ceremonies, symbols, and the external and internal appearance of the boarding house. It also reports on the intangible manifestations, that is, students' and teachers' beliefs and the mission, vision, values, and norms of the boarding house itself. In conclusion, an explanation is tendered for the positive relationship that can be shown to exist between the organizational culture and learner discipline.
