Thank you Mr Speaker. With due respect, I appreciate the question by THE ASSEMBLY met at 9:00 a.m. Honourable Keorapetse which you have just addressed. (THE SPEAKER in the Chair) It seems like we have a problem at Clerk’s office, because people have reinstated their previous questions P R A Y E R S and Motions, but they are not here. So we have many Ministers’ questions, the Honourable Members * * * * submitted them so we do not know what the problem SPEAKER’S REMARKS is. As you are aware, maybe they will facilitate these things quickly because at the end of this session, we MR SPEAKER (MR SKELEMANI): Order! Order! might end up having many questions which we could Honourable Members, good morning! May we start our have addressed. Thank you Mr Speaker. business of today with questions. MR SPEAKER: Indeed, as I said, the questions are MR KEORAPETSE: On a point of procedure. Good fair and we ought to have a better answer as to why, if morning Mr Speaker, I thought you were going to talk questions have been submitted, we do not have them. about the Order Paper, it looks like it has one ordinary question, but traditionally it must have Ministers’ QUESTION FOR ORAL ANSWER questions or themes. So as a matter of fact, I know that NURSES’ RISK ALLOWANCE Ministers’ questions were immediately submitted after prorogation and I am just wondering why they have not MR F. T. LEUWE (TAKATOKWANE): Asked the made it to the Order Paper. Minister for Presidential Affairs, Governance and Public Administration to explain why nurses are not given risk May I also indicate that I have been probing this matter, allowance like other essential service officers; and state trying to find out which Ministers’ questions will be if they are not at risk due to the nature of their work. appearing on the Order Paper, it took a long time to be told that there would not be any, I think this was ASSISTANT MINISTER FOR PRESIDENTIAL yesterday. Perhaps we should be told why we have AFFAIRS, GOVERNANCE AND PUBLIC only one ordinary question and not more of ordinary ADMINISTRATION (MR MTHIMKHULU): Thank questions, and why we do not have themes? you Mr Speaker.

The commission also observed that the compensation for MR SPEAKER: That there are two questions being risks claimed would not be a preventive measure. processed. They say sometimes what happens is that the questions come and then there is some editing and Mr Speaker, having said that, I wish to point that the clarity, so that when it is put on the paper, it is understood conditions of service for public officers are negotiable what exactly is wanted. It is part of the processing of the matters, if the need arises to introduce risk allowance questions. They say that is the reason why we will end for nurses or any other essential service officers, it will up having one question

    Die joernalistieke orii!ntasiefunksie van Beeld, Rapport en Die KerJ{bode ten opsigte van homoseksualiteit, aborsie en dobbelary Evert van Vlastuin BA (Joernalistiek) (Evangelische School voor Joumalistiek en Voorlichting, Ede, Nederland) Verhandeling voorgele ter nakoming van die vereistes vir die graad Magister Artium in Bedryfskommunikasie aan die Potchefstroomse Universiteit vir Christelike Hoer Onderwys Studieleier: prof. dr. J. D. Froneman Mede-studieleier: prof. dr. A. S. de Beer Potchefstroom 1998 Daar is uiters stroewe mense wat jy nooit met enige redenasie kan beinvloed nie. En wanneer jou geloofwaardigheid onder verdenking is, ofwanneer jou gesag geminag word, maak jy weinig vordering - selfs by leergierige mense. Johannes Calvyn (J 509-1564) Hierdie werk dra ek op aan die nagedagtenis van my pa, Jan van Vlastuin ( I 93 9-1997), wat plotseling dood is terwyl ek, ver weg in Suid-Afrika, met die navorsing vir hierdie verhandeling besig was. BEDANKINGS Dit is 'n goeie gewoonte om aan die begin van 'n verhandeling sekere bedankings uit te spreek aan alma! sonder wie se hulp die studie nie afgehandel sou kon word nie. Daarom gryp ek ook die geleentheid aan om die talle mense te bedank wat my in die periode van navorsing gehelp het. * In die eerste plek is dit my ouers, wat my - aanvanklik teen wil en dank - gestimuleer het om te studeer en wat dit aanvaar het dat ek vir 'n jaar Suid-Afrika toe gegaan het om hierdie navorsing te doen. * Ek is ook erkentlik vir die hulp en aanwysings van my studieleier, prof. Johannes D. Froneman, wat op sy eie wyse leiding gegee het aan die studie en wat my nie as 'n ondergeskikte student nie, maar meer as 'n gelyke behandel het en wat altyd bereid was om uitgebreid die lewenskragte van die 'nuwe' Suid-Afrika te bespreek.

  • Response – a Game-Changer Or a Damp Squib Jan 2014
    RESPONSE January 29, 2014 A Game-changer or a Damp Squib? Even before yesterday’s announcement that Dr Mamphela Ramphele is to be the Democratic Alliance’s ‘presidential candidate’, the 2014 election season had already thrown up a number of interesting developments: the final departure of Julius Malema from the ANC and his emergence as leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters; the fragmentation of COSATU, as seen in the decision of its biggest member-union not to support the ANC in the elections, and in the sidelining of its errant secretary-general, Zwelinzima Vavi; the booing of President Zuma during the memorial service for Madiba, and his subsequent absence from a number of the party’s provincial manifesto launches; the increasing prominence of Cyril Ramaphosa as the real face of the ANC’s campaign. Against such a background, how important is the fact that Dr Ramphele has now joined forces with the DA? At the levels of symbolism and principle, it is certainly groundbreaking; but when it comes to the practical essence of party politics – the attraction of votes – it is more likely a damp squib. Up to now, the DA has attracted very few credible African politicians with anything approaching a track record in the struggle. Some of its up-and-coming African members, such as Lindiwe Mazibuko and Mmusi Maimane, are evidently capable politicians who promise much for the future; but they were children when apartheid ended. Dr Ramphele’s struggle credentials are well known and extensive, all the more so, perhaps, in that she fought apartheid from outside the Congress movement.

  • 119 Modernizing the Botswana National Front
    Botswana Notes and Records, Volume 44, 2012 Modernizing the Botswana National Front: A Case for Political Marketing Letshwiti Tutwane* Abstract This paper argues that the choice of a younger and more popular, Duma Boko as president of the opposition Botswana National Front in 2010 was a good move for the party. However, this is not enough. The party needs to take a further step and revolutionize its policies and rhetoric. A comparison is made between the BNF and the Labour Party in the United Kingdom. Both parties have a history of trade union support and leftist ideology. They have also faced similar challenges and the BNF can learn from Labour. It must modernize and utilize the tools of political marketing. Boko must do what Blair did with Clause IV of the Labour Party constitution which ensured that that Labour won the general elections in 1997. The argument is that communist or socialist rhetoric was relevant until the 1980s and has now run its course as a political strategy. It must be replaced with rhetoric that strikes the right chord with voters. Introduction The paper starts with discussion of the Labour Party, looking at its ideological foundation. It then examines internecine strife in the party and in particular the left-right feud in the party and how it paralyzed the organization. It then shows how tools of political communication, marketing in particular, were used to revive the fortunes of the party under Tony Blair. It then moves on to examine the BNF along the same lines. It demonstrates that the BNF and the Labour Party have similar history and that the former can learn from the latter to revamp its image and enhance its electoral chances.

  • Representation of South African Women in the Public Sphere
    REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH AFRICAN WOMEN IN THE PUBLIC SPHERE PREPARED BY ADITI HUNMA, RESEARCH ASSISTANT 1 REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH AFRICAN WOMEN IN THE PUBLIC SPHERE METHODOLOGY The aim of this report is to explore how South African women are (re)presented by the media as they engage in the public sphere. It looks at women in three different fields namely, politics, business and art, analysing at the onset the way they argue, that is, as rhetorical agents. It ihen proceeds to assess how these women's gender is perceived to enhance or be detrimental to their capacity to deliver. In the process, the report comes to belie and confront various myths that still persist and taint women's image in the public arena. In the realm of politics, I will be analysing Cape Town Mayor and Head of DA, Helen Zille. In the corporate world, I will be looking at Bulelwa Qupe, who owns the Ezabantu, long-line Hake fishing company, and in the Arts, I will be looking at articles published on Nadine Gordimer, the author who bagged the Nobel Literature Prize less than two decades back. Data for this purpose was compiled from various websites, namely SABCNews.com, Mail and Guardian, News24, IOL and a few blog sites. It was then perused, sorted and labelled. Common topos were extracted and portions dealing with the (re)presentation of women were summarised prior to the actual write up. In the course of the research, I realised that the framing of events had a momentous bearing on the way the women came to be appear and so, I paid close attention to titles, captions and emboldened writings.

Further, the analysis examines the means by which these techniques located the ANC at the centre of liberation and post-independent political narratives and explores and posits a basis for understanding the behaviour of the ANC and leading actors in the political sphere.
