In the spirit of Thuma Mina I have obliged. Program Director, in preparing for this lecture, I thought if there was something we had come to learn from Andrew Mlangeni was the ability to speak truth to power no matter the costs. And it is for the reason that he remains a towering figure of history, who, while known to be very humble, is nevertheless part of the galaxy of the twentieth century revolutionaries whose legacies loom large over the horizon of South Africa’s history. “Some of our political leaders have become absolutely corrupt – they are no longer interested in improving the lives of our people.

  • Winkie Direko-A Political Leader in Her Own Right?
    JOERNAAL/JOURNAL TWALA/BARNARD WINKIE DIREKO-A POLITICAL LEADER IN HER OWN RIGHT? Chitja Twala* and Leo Barnard** 1. INTRODUCTION To record merely that Winkie Direko, present premier of the Free State Province, was born on 27 November 1929 in Bochabela (Mangaung) and to an average family, will be an inadequate prelude to assessing her community and political life, which had an impact on her political career. Her entry into full-time party politics after the April 1994 first non-racial democratic election in South Africa caused a great stir in the Free State Province, and no one ever expected that she would rise to the premiership position after June 1999. This article attempts to provide an accurate, scientific and historical assessment of Direko as a political leader in her own right amid serious criticisms levelled against her before and after her appointment as the province's premier. The article, however, does not tend to adopt a defensive stance for Direko, but rather to answer a repeatedly asked question in the political circles of the Free State Province on whether Direko is a political leader or not. The article extends beyond narrowly held views that Direko emerged to promi- nence after she had been inaugurated as the province's second woman premier in 1999. In the political arena, some critics within the ruling African National Congress (ANC) in the Free State Province claim that there is no testimonial that can more aptly describe her political leadership role. The fact that she occupied the premiership position for almost five years unlike her predecessors is testimony enough that she is a political leader in her own right.

  • Sub-National Governments and Foreign Policy: the Case of the Limpopo Province in South Africa
    SUB-NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS AND FOREIGN POLICY: THE CASE OF THE LIMPOPO PROVINCE IN SOUTH AFRICA by Vhulenda Edna Matshili Submitted in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Masters of Arts in the subject Politics at the University of South Africa Supervisor: Professor Jo-Ansie van Wyk 2013 DECLARATION I declare that “Sub-national governments and foreign policy: The case of the Limpopo province in South Africa ” is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. ________________________ _____________________ Signature Date (Miss Vhulenda Edna Matshili) i ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to analyse and describe the role of sub-national governments (SNG’s) in foreign policy and how the conduct of diplomacy has developed in the South African context, and to assess why and how provinces engage in this phenomenon. The theoretical approach to this study is embedded in neo- functionalism. In order to illustrate this, the South African province, the Limpopo Province is used as an illustrative case study. In particular, the study will analyse the role of the International Relations Unit (IRU) within the Office of the Premier (OtP) in the Limpopo Province as a case study. Limpopo is the main focus of this study because it, inter alia, borders on three sovereign states (Botswana, Mozambique and Zimbabwe) which place the province in a good position to engage in international relations, mutual intentions and friendly relations with its neighbouring and other distant countries. The results of this study is that provinces have become important foreign policy and international relations actors in the area of low politics; however the national government remains as the main actor in the international relations and foreign policy making process.

  • Get to Know Gauteng Health MEC Dr Bandile Masuku – the Citizen 30 May 2019
    Get to know Gauteng Health MEC Dr Bandile Masuku – The Citizen 30 May 2019 14 Masuku takes over from MEC Dr Gwen Ramokgopa, who was brought in after the Life Esidimeni tragedy in 2016. The recently appointed Gauteng Member of the Executive Committee (MEC) for Health Dr Bandile Masuku has a mammoth task ahead of him as he plans to win back the confidence of the province’s residents and the department’s entire staff complement. Masuku, along with the rest of the province’s executive team, were sworn in Parktown on Thursday. Gauteng has the largest health system among all provinces which services the highest number of people. Masuku told Health-e News that improving the experience of patients at public health facilities is his top priority. “[Patient experience] relates to waiting times in terms of [how long] you queue before you’re seen by a doctor, waiting to get medicine and treatment, and also in terms of waiting for surgical procedures.” He believes the confidence and happiness of health workers are integral in ensuring that patients are given the best level of care. Masuku said the staff morale in all clinics and hospitals — and in the department — is very low. Tackling the staff shortages in health facilities and resolving the issue of salaries are at the top of his to-do list. “We want the department to be patient-centred and it must be led by physicians and clinicians. Working with community organisations becomes important for us to change the system,” he explained. “The department’s responsibility is to give a platform for health workers and patients in order to improve and change its fortunes.” Happy workers mean happy patients Masuku said his experience of working in the public sector makes him the right person for the job.
