  • Speech by Human Settlements Minister, Mr Tokyo Sexwale, on The
    Speech by Human Settlements Minister, Mr Tokyo Sexwale, on the occasion of the establishment of the Chair for Education in Human Settlements Development Management at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University - 19 March 2013. Distinguished guests, Ladies and gentlemen. It is edifying on this very special occasion, taking place at this institution of higher learning, to be with you all today. This school, the Nelson 1 Mandela Metropolitan University, now no longer carries the name of Elizabeth but that of Nelson, who is none other than the iconic founding father of our nation and democracy - Rolihlahla Mandela. Many universities across the globe have recognized Madiba in one way or another and awarded him with more than a 120 Honorary Degrees, fellowships and diplomas. They have also named lecture theatres and halls after him including beautiful varsity botanical gardens. However, thus far, there is only one university which carries his name – this is it! We from the Ministry and the Department of Human Settlements are truly happy to be here today at Mandela’s University as your partners. 2 This partnership is a tri-partite affair. It includes the Ministry and Department of Higher Education and Training, the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University and the Ministry and Department of Human Settlements. Today’s occasion marks the culmination of efforts by several players for the realization and establishment of a special chair – the Chair for Education in Human Settlements Development Management. This varsity is currently already endowed with several research chairs, however, this is important. The Human Settlements Education Chair introduces a new scholastic and academic dimension to this institution.

Because of these crimes, the city has become a symbol for all of what is wrong with globalization, transnational exploitation and the Latin American form of masculine domination known as machismo. Terms like femicidios or feminicidios have been coined in order to express that women, far from being this crime wave’s collateral damage, are rather their specific target, and that their sex is the factor that gives this vortex of violence its inner logic and coherence.

    Briefing Note 0802 October 2008 South Africa: The Next Republic The resignation of former president Thabo Mbeki can be seen as the ending of a “First Republic” in democratic South Africa. The liberal left tradition of the governing African National Congress is fading, and the “Second Republic” will be shaped by more competition for political power both inside and outside the ANC. These notes consider Mbeki’s legacy, the challenges facing President Kgalema Motlanthe, and the prospects for a “Second Republic” under presidential aspirant Jacob Zuma. • ANC deeply divided as Mbeki loyalists contemplate breakaway party. • SA Communist Party and Trades Unions gain influence in ANC structures. • New leadership pledges to maintain market-friendly economic policies. • Cabinet re-shuffle recognises failures in health, education and crime. • Democratic institutions damaged by fall-out from controversial arms deal. • Zuma’s authority rooted in ANC security and intelligence network. The “Zuma Tsunami” On September 20th 2008, the national executive of the African political influence” in the prosecution of Zuma on charges of National Congress agreed to “recall” Mbeki from the national corruption and tax evasion, related to a R50 billion presidency. His resignation follows a turbulent shift in the (£4 billion) government defence contract sanctioned by balance of power within the party leadership – dubbed the Mbeki in the late 1990s. “Zuma Tsunami” by supporters of ANC president Jacob Zuma.
