  • Opposition Party Mobilization in South Africa's Dominant
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Eroding Dominance from Below: Opposition Party Mobilization in South Africa’s Dominant Party System A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Safia Abukar Farole 2019 © Copyright by Safia Abukar Farole 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Eroding Dominance from Below: Opposition Party Mobilization in South Africa’s Dominant Party System by Safia Abukar Farole Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Kathleen Bawn, Chair In countries ruled by a single party for a long period of time, how does political opposition to the ruling party grow? In this dissertation, I study the growth in support for the Democratic Alliance (DA) party, which is the largest opposition party in South Africa. South Africa is a case of democratic dominant party rule, a party system in which fair but uncompetitive elections are held. I argue that opposition party growth in dominant party systems is explained by the strategies that opposition parties adopt in local government and the factors that shape political competition in local politics. I argue that opposition parties can use time spent in local government to expand beyond their base by delivering services effectively and outperforming the ruling party. I also argue that performance in subnational political office helps opposition parties build a reputation for good governance, which is appealing to ruling party ii. supporters who are looking for an alternative. Finally, I argue that opposition parties use candidate nominations for local elections as a means to appeal to constituents that are vital to the ruling party’s coalition.

Environmentalism in South Africa: A Sociopolitical Perspective FARIEDA KHAN I. Introduction South Africa is a country that has undergone dramatic political changes in recent years, transforming itself from a racial autocracy to a democratic society in which discrimination on racial and other grounds is forbidden, and the principle of equality is enshrined in the Constitution. These political changes have been reflected in the envi- ronmental sector which, similarly, has transformed its wildlife-cen- tered, preservationist approach (appealing mainly to the affluent, white minority), to a holistic conservation ideology which incorporates social, economic, and political, as well as ecological, aspects. Nevertheless, despite the fact

  • Bell Pottinger Faces Sanction Over Secret Gupta Campaign
    Legalbrief | your legal news hub Wednesday 29 September 2021 Bell Pottinger faces sanction over secret Gupta campaign The DA expects a ‘strong sanction’ against the Guptas’ former public relations firm Bell Pottinger, after the party received confirmation yesterday that its complaint against the firm had been upheld. A News24 report quotes DA spokesperson Phumzile van Damme as saying: ‘This means that the UK’s Public Relations and Communications Association (PRCA) professional practices committee has agreed that Bell Pottinger did indeed violate its Professional Charter, and/or its Public Affairs and Lobbying Code of Conduct.’ Bell Pottinger has five days to appeal and a final decision will be published during the week beginning 4 September. The report notes that the DA’s complaint, which was heard last week, stems from the #GuptaLeaks, which revealed how the London-based PR firm assisted the Guptas – after meeting with Duduzane Zuma – to create a narrative meant to discredit the Guptas’ many critics. A report in The Guardian says the PRCA heard allegations that Bell Pottinger sought to stir up anger about ‘white monopoly capital’ and the ‘economic apartheid’ in SA to draw attention away from the wealthy and controversial Gupta family, who have been accused of benefiting financially from their close links to President Jacob Zuma. The report notes the PRCA is considering a range of actions it could take against Bell Pottinger, including terminating its membership of the trade body. Other possible disciplinary options include a formal warning or reprimand..
