We decided to begin with a map – a map that hopefully presents a broad picture of how far we’ve already come in Africa towards the goal of achieving a “digital information commons”, as well as providing some sense of how to grow it further. We have tried to chart the international, regional and national policies, players and movements that to some extent dictate the scope of the commons in Africa, and at the same time to outline some of the creative responses from people on the ground working towards the expansion of the commons in some way.

  • ICT in Education in South Africa
    SURVEY OF ICT AND EDUCATION IN AFRICA: South Africa Country Report ICT in Education in South Africa by Shafika Isaacs June 2007 Source: World Fact Book1 Please note: This short Country Report, a result of a larger infoDev-supported Survey of ICT in Education in Africa, provides a general overview of current activities and issues related to ICT use in education in the country. The data presented here should be regarded as illustrative rather than exhaustive. ICT use in education is at a particularly dynamic stage in Africa; new developments and announcements happening on a daily basis somewhere on the continent. Therefore, these reports should be seen as “snapshots” that were current at the time they were taken; it is expected that certain facts and figures presented may become dated very quickly. The findings, interpretations and conclusions expressed herein are entirely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the view of infoDev, the Donors of infoDev, the World Bank and its affiliated organizations, the Board of Executive Directors of the World Bank or the governments they represent. The World Bank cannot guarantee the accuracy of the data included in this work. The boundaries, colors, denominations, and other information shown on any map in this work do not imply on the part of the World Bank any judgment of the legal status of any territory or the endorsement or acceptance of such boundaries. It is expected that individual Country Reports from the Survey of ICT and Education in Africa will be updated in an iterative process over time based on additional research and feedback received through the infoDev web site.

  • Evaluating the South African Software Industry As a Key Component for Economic Development Using an Irish Framework
    2012 Proceedings of the Conference on Information Systems Applied Research ISSN: 2167-1508 New Orleans Louisiana, USA v5 n2212 _________________________________________________ Evaluating the South African Software Industry as a Key Component for Economic Development using an Irish Framework Kehinde Dehinbo [email protected] Department of Informatics Johnson Dehinbo [email protected] Department of Web & Multimedia Computing Tshwane University of Technology Soshanguve, Pretoria, 0152, South Africa Abstract This study takes a critical look at how the South African (SA) software industry can be successful in serving as a key component for economic development. The conceptual framework used by Heavin et al. (2003) in investigating the emergence and evolution of the Irish software industry is used as a guide to investigate the South African software industry. Firstly, we investigate how positive changes can be stimulated with IT applications, how previous studies have been bridging the IT adoption gap and the role that can be played by the use of Open-Source software (OSS) in enhancing the South African software industry. Then, the study investigates the impact of the SA geographic environment, endogenous and exogenous factors on the SA software industry. A key trend emerging is the need for building a culture of diligence, improving education, creativity and flexibility. The study also looks at the need for improving quality of products of the SA software industry. The study has shown that the South African software industry could learn a lot from the Irish software industry. A strong barrier to this vision of enhanced software industry is ignorance. Education is therefore a key towards removing this ignorance and opening eyes to the significant amount of opportunities for excellence in the society.

  • 11. Pretending the People Come First: Human Rights, Media and Digital Communications in Post-Apartheid South Africa by Rebecca Zausmer1
    11. Pretending the People come First: Human Rights, Media and Digital Communications in Post-Apartheid South Africa By Rebecca Zausmer1 The state of democracy and human rights in South Africa is in decline. Politicians are seemingly more accountable internally to one another than externally to their voters2. Many South Africans at the grassroots level - who were denied a voice during Apartheid - are still being marginalised from the public conversation and genuine political participation3. The rights so explicitly enshrined in South Africa’s progressive constitution – including the right to access information and freedom of expression – have not yet been translated into reality for the majority of the population. And while South Africa is an economic giant on the African continent, it is also the second most unequal country in the world4 with huge economic, social, and racial disparities. 24 per cent of the population still remain illiterate5, and a quarter of South Africans are unemployed6. Socio-economic rights are clearly not being realised either. In any democracy, media and communications are crucial spaces for public debate, where politicians are held to account. They are a means for citizens to exercise their rights by accessing and imparting information and expressing themselves freely. And digital communications opens up the space even more. In short media and communications are both a facilitator and an indicator of human rights. And in South Africa, where democracy and human rights are struggling, the need for them to be in free and healthy spaces is even greater. This chapter explores how far media and communications are succeeding in promoting the civil and socio-economic rights of South African citizens.
