  • Statement by the City's Executive Mayor, Patricia De Lille
    Statement by the City’s Executive Mayor, Patricia de Lille Announcement of new Mayoral Committee The recent general elections have precipitated a change to the City of Cape Town’s Mayoral Committee (Mayco), with two previous members having taken up seats in the National Parliament. This has given me an opportunity to consider the best needs of the City and the kind of diverse leadership required to move our agenda forward across all platforms. As such, I have used the two vacancies to promote new councillors. I have also decided to strengthen our commitment to and work with South African Local Government Association (SALGA) by giving Alderman Demetri Qually more time to dedicate to his strategic chairmanship of SALGA Western Cape. I am confident that this newly constituted Mayco team is the right blend of youth and experience, knowledge and expertise, and that it will help us to continue to deliver world-class standards of City governance. The new Mayoral Committee is as follows: 1. Transport for Cape Town: Councillor Brett Herron 2. Community Services and Special Projects: Alderman Belinda Walker 3. Economic, Environment and Spatial Planning: Councillor Johan van der Merwe (new member of Mayco) Cllr van der Merwe has been promoted to Mayco for the first time. He has served the City Council for many years and has occupied leadership positions within and outside of the caucus. He has served on numerous boards and was instrumental in devising a new spatial approach to the greater Tygerberg region’s urban regeneration in the formation of the Greater Tygerberg Partnership.

  • Trekking Outward
    TREKKING OUTWARD A CHRONOLOGY OF MEETINGS BETWEEN SOUTH AFRICANS AND THE ANC IN EXILE 1983–2000 Michael Savage University of Cape Town May 2014 PREFACE In the decade preceding the dramatic February 1990 unbanning of South Africa’s black liberatory movements, many hundreds of concerned South Africans undertook to make contact with exile leaders of these organisations, travelling long distances to hold meetings in Europe or in independent African countries. Some of these “treks”, as they came to be called, were secret while others were highly publicised. The great majority of treks brought together South Africans from within South Africa and exile leaders of the African National Congress, and its close ally the South African Communist Party. Other treks involved meetings with the Pan Africanist Congress, the black consciousness movement, and the remnants of the Non-European Unity Movement in exile. This account focuses solely on the meetings involving the ANC alliance, which after February 1990 played a central role in negotiating with the white government of F.W. de Klerk and his National Party regime to bring about a new democratic order. Without the foundation of understanding established by the treks and thousands of hours of discussion and debate that they entailed, it seems unlikely that South Africa’s transition to democracy could have been as successfully negotiated as it was between 1990 and the first democratic election of April 1994. The following chronology focuses only on the meetings of internally based South Africans with the African National Congress (ANC) when in exile over the period 1983–1990. Well over 1 200 diverse South Africans drawn from a wide range of different groups in the non- governmental sector and cross-cutting political parties, language, educational, religious and community groups went on an outward mission to enter dialogue with the ANC in exile in a search to overcome the escalating conflict inside South Africa.

  • 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.

  • 31 May 1995 CONSTITUTIONAL ASSEMBLY NATIONAL
    31 May 1995 CONSTITUTIONAL ASSEMBLY NATIONAL WORKSHOP AND PUBLIC HEARING FOR WOMEN - 2-4 JUNE 1995 The Council's representative at the abovementioned hearing will be Mrs Eva Mahlangu, a teacher at the Filadelfia Secondary School for children with disabilities, Eva has a disability herself. We thank you for the opportunity to comment. It is Council's opinion that many women are disabled because of neglect, abuse and violence and should be protected. Further more Women with Disabilities are one of the most marginalised groups and need to be empowered to take their rightful place in society. According to the United Nations World Programme of Action Concerning Disable Persons: "The consequences of deficiencies and disablement are particularly serious for women. There are a great many countries where women are subjected to social, cultural and economic disadvantages which impede their access to, for example, health care, education, vocational training and employment. If, in addition, they are physically or mentally disabled their chances of overcoming their disablement are diminished, which makes it all the more difficult for them to take part in community life. In families, the responsibility for caring for a disabled parent often lies with women, which considerably limits their freedom and their possibilities of taking part in other activities". The Nairobi Plan of Action for the 1990's also states: Disabled women all over the world are subject to dual discrimination: first, their gender assigns them second-class citizenship; then they are further devalued because of the negative and limited ways the world perceives people with disabilities. Legislation shall guarantee the rights of disabled women to be educated and make decisions about pregnancy, motherhood, adoption, and any medical procedure which affects their ability to reproduce.

  • Dullah Omar Memorial Lecture, University of the Western Cape
    DULLAH OMAR MEMORIAL LECTURE TREVOR A MANUEL, MP MINISTER OF FINANCE UNIVERSITY OF THE WESTERN CAPE 20 MARCH 2007 1 Distinguished Chairperson Farida Omar and Family My Dear Comrades and Friends I want to express my sincerest appreciation to both the Community Law Centre and the Omar family for honouring me with the privilege to present this lecture in memory of so great an individual. Tomorrow we will celebrate Human Rights Day – the fact of this holiday is an enormous tribute to the life’s work of Comrade Dullah, whose commitment to the cause of human rights truly set him apart. It is also worth reminding ourselves that just a fortnight ago Ghana celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of her freedom. This fact too was an important part of Comrade Dullah’s being since he lived all of his adult life as a committed African and pan-Africanist. Let me confess that the Community Law Centre and I have you here under false pretences – the topic I am expected to speak on is “Budgeting for Human Rights.” I am aware, though, that all of you are familiar with the Budget – whether through the eyes of Human Rights activists, economists or just ordinary citizens whose lives are touched by the manner in which government exercises choices in respect of the Budget. You will also know that in the context of our Constitution and the Bill of Rights, the direction of the choices we make are in line with the ‘rising floor’ principle as set out in the Bill of Rights. And you will know that the Constitutional Court has on occasion been obliged to reflect on these matters and, with one exception, raised concerns but declared that the court is not the fiscal authority.

    TENTH CITY OF TSHWANE BUDGET VOTE BY THE EXECUTIVE MAYOR OF TSHWANE, DR GWEN RAMOKGOPA, COUNCIL CHAMBER, 20 MAY 2010, AT 10:00 Theme: Reaffirming the Freedom Charter 55 years on The Speaker, Cllr Smangaliso Mkhatshwa; Chief Whip of Council, Cllr Terence Mashego; Members of the Mayoral Committee; Leaders of Political Parties; Councillors, in particular newly elected Cllr Marobane of Ward 74; Acting City Manager and Officials of the City of Tshwane; Residents of Tshwane; Members of the Media; Honoured Guests; Ladies and Gentlemen; Dumelang! As we count down the 21 days to the FIFA spectacular, we also say "Feel it, it is here" – Afrika ke nako! It is my single honour to present to this house, the Council meeting of the City of Tshwane, the Integrated Development Plan, the Medium-term Expenditure Framework and the budget for the 2010/11 financial year. We meet today fresh from hosting a successful 11th Gauteng Provincial Conference of the ANC under the theme "Unity, service and renewal – a 1 clarion call for action towards the ANC Centenary". While we fully recognise and respect the multiparty character of our democracy, we as the ANC remain humbled by the trust bestowed on our movement by the overwhelming majority of South Africans, especially those who in the words of Simón Bolívar are "ever hopeful of rescue"' from poverty and underdevelopment. It is in the context of this trust that we will continue to foster the unity of all South Africans behind our historic mission to liberate all our people, black and white, men and women, from all forms of oppression, discrimination and exploitation.
