  • FW Addresses Threats to the National Accord Africa of 2008 – Pressures Which Give Rise to Serious Concerns
    Consensus A PUBLICATION OF THE FW DE KLERK FOUNDATION The FW de Klerk Foundation Volume 5, Issue 2 2nd Quarter /July 2008 FW addresses threats to the National Accord Africa of 2008 – pressures which give rise to serious concerns. Threats to kill Firstly, I am deeply concerned by the statements recently made by Julius Malema and Zwelinzima Vavi that they are prepared to kill in their efforts to support Mr. Jacob Zuma. These statements cannot be dismissed as mere rhetoric and nor can there be any debate regarding their meaning. Neither can they be viewed as being inconsequential - because they have been made by leaders of two of the main formations in the ruling alliance. They show a fundamental disregard for the values enshrined in our constitution which establishes a Mr. FW de Klerk society based on law - where all disputes are resolved by constitutional means and in accordance with the law. The constitution also Mr. FW de Klerk addressed the Cape Town Press specifically prohibits propaganda for war, Club on 25 June 2008 on his deep concern over a incitement of imminent violence and advocacy of number of recent developments – developments hatred based on race. that could undermine the national accord upon The statements follow on the recent murders of which the new South Africa has been established. some 65 people in xenophobic attacks.

  • 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.
