$1\mathrm{.}5\mathrm{.}1.$ To compare the present incidence rates of tuberculosis in the mining industry of South Africa with their historical patterns. This will entail the acquisition and assessment of historical and current data regarding tuberculosis cases within the industry.

$1\mathrm{.}5\mathrm{.}2.$ To identify and define the management strategies that are currently being implemented in the mining industry to reduce the prevalence of tuberculosis. This encompasses the examination of the theoretical underpinnings and principles that underlie these strategies.

$1\mathrm{.}5\mathrm{.}3.$ To evaluate the effectiveness of current management strategies in reducing the incidence rate of tuberculosis among miners. This will entail an assessment of the results of these strategies and the identification of potential areas for enhancement.

$1\mathrm{.}5\mathrm{.}4.$ To suggest improvements to the current tuberculosis management strategies in the mining industry, based on the results of the efficacy analysis and the identification of gaps or deficiencies in the current approaches.

The theoretical foundation used to explain the issue driving your research. Relevant theories must be identified, justified, and explained with respect to their implications for the proposed study.
