  • Választások És Politikai Szereplők a Dél-Afrikai Köztársaságban
    afrika ma VÁLASZTÁSOK ÉS POLITIKAI SZEREPLŐK A DÉL-AFRIKAI KÖZTÁRSASÁGBAN TETLÁK ÖRS A Dél-afrikai Köztársaság 25 évvel az első szabad választás után és a hatodik szabad választás előtt Afrika és a világ két történelmi jelentőségű esemény huszonötödik évfordulójára emlékezik idén. A ruandai népirtás szörnyűségei mellett ugyanúgy huszonöt év telt el az első szabad dél-afrikai választás eufóriája óta és ezt a huszonöt évet az Afrikai Nemzeti Kongresszus (African National Congress, ANC) töltötte kormányon. Ez a tanulmány két kérdésre keres választ: • Képes lesz-e Cyril Ramaphosa elnök kivezetni az államot utóbbi 25 évének leg- nagyobb válságából, tudja-e konszolidálni a hatalmat gyakorló Afrikai Nemzeti Kongresszust? • Mik jelenleg a legégetőbb társadalmi-gazdasági kérdések, lesz-e/lehet-e megol- dásuk az elnök beiktatását követően? Az apartheid rezsim békés legyőzése óta sok víz lefolyt az Oranje folyón, ám az ország minden hibája ellenére, alapvetően demokratikus állam maradt. Bár itt is prezidenciális köztársaság az államforma, a kontinens sok más országtól eltérően az erős jogosítványokkal rendelkező államelnök személye rendszeresen és demokrati- kus választásokat követően változik. Mindez nem jelenti azt, hogy az egyes elnökök teljesítménye, hatalomgyakorlási módszere akárcsak köszönőviszonyban lenne egy- mással. Az ország éppen egy kilenc éves hanyatlás után próbál magához térni, amit Jacob Zuma elnöksége okozott. A velejéig korrupt ANC-veterán rendszere az állam foglyul ejtésének tankönyvi példáját valósította meg és teljes az egyetértés abban, hogy ez a majdnem két teljes elnöki ciklus az ország elvesztegetett évtizede volt. Zuma kérdőjelekkel teli regnálásának saját pártja vetett véget, amikor 2018 elején megvonták tőle a bizalmat és lemondásra kényszerítették. Utóda, Cyril Ramaphosa sem kívülről érkezett, szakszervezeti vezetői múltjának köszönhetően az ANC főtárgyalója volt már az apartheid-rezsimmel történő tárgyalásokon is.

    #BUDGET2020: ANALYSIS: Public servants’ wages no longer sacred in a time of doing more with less Head Topics - 27 Feb 2020 #BUDGET2020: ANALYSIS: Public servants’ wages no longer sacred in a time of doing more with less #BUDGET2020: ANALYSIS: Public servants’ wages no longer sacred in a time of doing more with less By Marianne Merten Source Daily Maverick 1 hours ago BUDGET2020: ANALYSIS: Public servants’ wages no longer sacred in a time of doing more with less By Marianne Merten Tito Mboweni has gone where previous finance ministers have feared to tread — slashing the public wage bill. The political landmines are about to explode. Save The numbers behind the public sector wage cuts are simple. To balance its books, the government needs to chop R160.2-billion from public servants so expenditure comes closer to revenue. Again, the numbers are simple. Debt service costs are the fastest-rising expenditure item, by 12.3% to R229-billion in 2020, or 15.2% of the R1.95-trillion budget. And borrowing keeps on rising — to R497.5-billion in 2023 from R407.3-billion in 2020, that was up by just short of R72-billion from just 2019 — because South Africa . But Budget politics are never simple. And while Finance Minister Tito Mboweni indicated in the traditional pre-Budget media briefing that he had political support for his Budget reforms, his Cabinet colleagues who must spearhead the public sector wage cuts were even less forthcoming. Labour and Employment Minister Thulas Nxesi referred questions to Public Service and Administration Minister Senzo Mchunu, who in turn told Daily Maverick: “For now, we are not making any statements on that (public wage bill cuts) except to say we are engaging.” Cosatu had no such qualms — and the response was sharp and hot.

  • 2019 GENERAL ELECTIONS in SOUTH AFRICA Political Parties
    2019 GENERAL ELECTIONS IN SOUTH AFRICA Political Parties Contesting the 2019 Elections Residents cast their votes during the Nquthu by-election at Springlake High School on May 24, 2017 in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. (Photo by Gallo Images / The Times / Thuli Dlamini) The IEC announced that a record 48 political parties have successfully registered to contest the 2019 general elections. Most have been formed recently, suggesting that many see an opportunity to capitalise on voter uncertainty after the Zuma years. Noteworthy, too, is the number of religious parties — with churches hoping to turn congregant numbers into political power. In the first of a two-part series, we take a brief look at the parties appearing on the ballot sheet in May. African Christian Democratic Party Launched in 1993, one of the ACDP’s unique claims to fame is that it was the only party to reject the South African Constitution — on the basis that it enshrined the right to abortion. Supports a return to “biblical principles”, including the imposition of the death penalty. Led by Dr Kenneth Meshoe, the ACDP received just over 104,000 votes nationally in the 2014 elections, giving it three seats in the National Assembly. African Congress of Democrats No information is available. Confusingly, there is a Namibian opposition party of the same name; and the South African Congress of Democrats was an anti-apartheid organisation run by radical white lefties. African Content Movement The ACM was launched in December 2018 by former SABC chief operations officer Hlaudi Motsoeneng. As per the party’s name, which refers to Motsoeneng’s policy of promoting local content at the SABC, the party will have a special focus on protecting creative artists.
