  • 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.

Einleitung Der Anfang der 1990er Jahre bedeutete nicht nur in Europa, sondern auch in Südafrika das Ende einer Epoche. Im Jubel um das Ende der Ost-West-Konfrontation trat der hiesige Wandel beinahe in den Hintergrund. Dennoch wurde in diesen wenigen Jahren der Grundstein für die Demokratisierung Südafrikas gelegt. Das System von Rassentrennung und Herrschaft der weißen Minderheit, die Apartheid, hatte jegliche innenpolitische Legitimität verloren und machte einem System der demokratischen Gleichberechtigung und Rassengleichheit Platz. Nach nunmehr zwanzig Jahren nach der ersten freien Wahl wurde 2014 die fünfte Wahl zur Nationalversammlung abgehalten. Dieses Jubiläum gibt Anlass, auf die Entwicklung von Wahl- und Parteiensystem Südafrikas zurückzublicken.

    25 August 2016 Att: Ms Helen Zille Premier Mr Dan Plato MEC of Community Safety Cc: Ms Debbie Schäfer MEC for Education Prof. Nomafrench Mbombo MEC of Health Mr Albert Fritz MEC for Social Development Ms Anroux Marais MEC of Cultural Affairs and Sport YOUTH DEMAND A SAFE ENVIRONMENT CONDUCIVE TO LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT MEMORANDUM FROM THE SOCIAL JUSTICE COALITION AND EQUAL EDUCATION 1. The rights to life, dignity, equality and freedom, including freedom from all forms of violence, underpinned the original complaints by our organisations and others that led to the convening of the Khayelitsha Commission of Inquiry (the Commission). 2. As we mark its second anniversary we admit to our anger and frustration at the inaction from all levels of government to take forward the Commission’s recommendations. 3. The Commission’s report released on 25 August 2014 was aimed at improving safety and policing in Khayelitsha, the Western Cape and South Africa. The burden of crime faced by some of the most vulnerable people in our communities and the inefficiencies of the South African Police Service (SAPS) were at the core of the Commission’s work. In addition, the absence of safety because of criminal violence and inadequate social service provision has meant that people cannot access safe schooling, sanitation, transport, clinics and other constitutionally protected services. 4. We acknowledge that the majority of the Commission’s recommendations have been directed at the SAPS - a national function. Some recommendations however require proactive steps to be taken by the Western Cape Government (WCG). Recommendation 12 – A Multi-Sectoral Task Team on Youth Gangs 5.

  • Western Cape Government Provincial Treasury
    Western Cape Government Provincial Treasury BUDGET 2018 SPEECH Minister of Finance Dr IH Meyer 6 March 2018 Budget Speech 2018 Western Cape Government Honourable Speaker and Deputy Speaker Honourable Premier and Cabinet Colleagues Honourable Leader of the Official Opposition Honourable Leaders of Opposition Parties Honourable Members of the Western Cape Legislature Executive Mayors and Executive Deputy Mayors Speakers and Councillors Senior officials of the Western Cape Government Leaders of the Business Community Citizens of the Western Cape Ladies and Gentlemen Madam Speaker, the 2018 Budget focuses on budgeting for the people, recognising that economic growth and development is critical to improve living standards and socio-economic conditions and therefore the pursuit thereof remains a top priority of this Government. Speaker, sedert die Minister van Finansies sy hoofbegroting in die Parlement ter tafel gelê het op 23 Februarie 2018, het ons nou weer ‘n nuwe Minister by die Nasionale Tesourie. Ek verwelkom die terugkeer van Minister Nene by die Nasionale Tesourie. Minister Nene sal eers die Nasionale Tesourie moet skoonmaak want die agente van staatskaping is deur sy voorganger, Minister Gigaba, in die Nasionale Tesourie ontplooi. Ongelukkig het die Gupta dogmas aspekte van die Nasionale Begroting vertroebel en herbesinning is noodsaaklik as ons uit ‘n begrotingsperspektief ‘n nuwe begin wil maak. Dit sluit in die bestuur van die 2 Budget Speech 2018 Western Cape Government uitgawe kant van die Begroting en of die verhoging in BTW werklik noodsaaklik was gegewe die fiskale konteks. It is my intention to write to Minister Nene to request him to restore the credibility and integrity of the National Treasury as the supreme fiscal authority in South Africa.

  • 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.
