Rhodes pledges to fight corruption By Marc Davies On Thursday, Rhodes became the first South African education institution to sign the pledge against corruption. Hosted by the office of the vice-chancellor, Dr Saleem Badat said pervasive corruption in South Africa has resulted in the looting of public coffers which thwarts democracy, according to civil society organisation Corruption Watch. According to Badat, Rhodes pledged to lead by example in creating ethical leadership. Executive director David Lewis stressed the important role of youth in curbing corruption in South Africa, saying that A student is removed by the military police during a protest in front of asking for a presidential veto to the new Forest Code passed by Brazil’s Congress in Brasilia May there are indicators that “young people are falling into the trap of believing that corruption provides an easy way out of 22, 2012.

Microsoft to go carbon neutral By Megan Ellis Earlier this month, Microsoft announced that they are committing to achieving carbon neutrality. This policy will be implemented as of 1 July – the start of the company’s new fiscal year. According to Green Biz, the software and technology giant will aim for carbon neutrality for its energy use by improving energy efficiency, a reduction in carbon neutrality and increasing its use of renewable energy. This initiative will be implemented companywide, in over 100 countries where Microsoft offices are located. According to The Guardian, policies will be aimed at making Microsoft’s data centers, software labs, air travel and office building carbon neutral. This promise comes in light of the expiration of Microsoft’s 2009 goal of reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. The software giant has met its goal and is now aiming for more ambitious efforts. In a blog post on Microsoft’s website, Kevin Turner, the company’s chief operating officer wrote: “Working on the issues of energy use and environmental change provides another opportunity to make a difference in the world. It's the right thing to do. And it's also an opportunity to promote positive change.” While Microsoft is not the first tech company to make a pledge to carbon neutrality, its decision has created hopes that other large corporations will join efforts to help the environment.

Miembro de la etnia mayoritaria xhosa, su padre, Govan Mbeki (1910-2001), era hijo de un jefe tribal, tenía formación universitaria y goza- ba de una posición relativamente desahogada como profesor y editor de prensa.

  • Book Reviews ∵
    African and Asian Studies 17 (2018) 417-429 AFRICAN AND ASIAN STUDIES brill.com/aas Book Reviews ∵ Adekeye Adebajo. 2016. Ohio Short Histories of Africa: Thabo Mbeki. Athens, Ohio: Ohio University Press. 190 pages. No price stated. Professor Adekeye Adebajo has written an elegant and insightful book about the life and times of Thabo Mvuyelwa Mbeki, the first Deputy President and the second President of post-apartheid South Africa. Mbeki was born in 1942 to Govan and Epainette Mbeki, who were middle-class Christian parents. His father, Govan, was a peer to both Nelson Mandela and Oliver Tambo, then foremost African nationalists and liberation warriors. Like Mandela, the older Mbeki was influenced by young Marxists at Fort Hare. Although Thabo Mbeki was ideologically influenced by these giants of African liberation, his political ideology evolved from being left -leaning to a lot more pragmatic approach. In specific terms, Professor Adebajo disclosed that there is a chance that, if the charismatic anc leader Chris Hani had not met his tragic death, Thabo Mbeki might have missed out becoming South Africa’s President (p. 68-9). In other words, Mbeki was not the initial choice of the rank-and-file of the anc adherents, even though Hani himself “had great respect for his [Thabo Mbeki’s] intellect” (p. 43). Yet, one cannot ignore the facts that Mbeki’s pedigree and his own astuteness, as a leader of the anc in exile, endeared him to the liberation movement’s core leadership, including then anc President Oliver Tambo. As the author notes, Thabo Mbeki served under Oliver Tambo as his politi- cal secretary when they were based in Lusaka, Zambia.

  • Na 'N Demokrasie Vir Almal
    Hoofstuk Vyftien Na ’n demokrasie vir almal Onderhandelings en woelinge Daar was ’n stortvloed van politieke bedrywigheid nadat die regering die verbod op die African National Congress (ANC) en ander bevrydings- en buiteparlementêre organisasies op 2 Februarie 1990 opgehef het. Toe Nelson Mandela op 11 Februarie 1990 vrygelaat is, was daar oral massasaamtrekke om hom te hoor praat. Stakings, straatverset, betogings en ook allerlei soorte geweld het ’n tydperk van groot onsekerheid en potensieel gevaarlike wanorde ingelui. Tog was die veiligheidsmagte oortuig dat hulle enige onmiddellike uitdaging sou kon baasraak. In November 1992 het die ANC-leiers gesê dat die bewind dalk verswak was, maar dat die ANC hom nie kon omverwerp nie. ‘‘Die bewind beheer nog steeds geweldig baie staats- en militêre hulpbronne,’’ het hulle gesê. Dit was tyd om te begin praat. Op vergaderings met senior polisie- en militêre offi siere vroeg in 1990 het pres. F.W. de Klerk gesê hulle hoef nie meer bepaalde politieke doelwitte te bevorder of ander te onderdruk nie. Die polisie en weermag moes net misdaad bestry en alle Suid-Afrikaners beskerm. De Klerk het die sterk invloed van militêre en intelligensieraadgewers op die Botha-regering verwerp en die bevelvoerders van die veiligheidsmagte selde geraadpleeg. Geen reserwemagte sou opgeroep word, of militêre parades gehou of sluipmoorde uitgevoer word nie. Onderhandelaars sou nie driftig uit ’n onderhandelingskamer storm soos die ANC, wat onderhandelings opgeskort en rollende massa-optrede aan die gang gesit het nie. 396 na ’n demokrasie vir almal Moordbendes oorkant bo: Dr. Gerrit Viljoen was die In Januarie 1990 het De Klerk die eerste maal gehoor van moordbendes in die hoofonderhandelaar van die Nasionale veiligheidsmagte wat sluipmoorde uitgevoer het.

La gestión de este veterano luchador anti apartheid, uno de los dirigentes más poderosos del continente negro y hombre de compleja personalidad, pragmático a la vez que visionario, ha combinado el liberalismo y el gradualismo en los terrenos económico y social, donde inquietan la pobreza y la criminalidad, con actitudes intransigentes como la mostrada en el debate sobre el sida. Su activismo internacional, muy ambicioso, ha perseguido el diálogo y la cooperación en los ejes Sur-Sur y Norte-Sur, a través de la Unión Africana y el NEPAD, y la pacificación de los conflictos africanos. http://www.cidob.org 1 of 24 Biografía 1.
