Ortarchi Programme O.R. TAMBO AFRICA RESEARCH CHAIRS INITIATIVE LAUNCH 27 OCTOBER 2020 No 58 Bompas Road, Dunkeld, Johannesburg, South Africa | Tel: +27 (0) 11 880 2680 Email: [email protected] | www.tambofoundation.org.za Registration number: IT1661/2010 | Public Benefit Organisation No.930037531 Trustees: Duma Nkosi | Beverley Penny | Albie Sachs | Derrick Swartz | Nomatemba Tambo | Dali Tambo |Rachel Tambo | Mvuyo Tom “Those of us who were deeply involved in the anti-apartheid campaigns were always aware of Oliver and he was held in deep respect. His face did not festoon posters; his image did not inspire t-shirts. But we knew all the time of his leadership and his tireless work.” Lord Peter Hain Oliver Tambo never wavered from his vision for a free, just South Africa. His principled and values-based leadership style was the glue that held the African National Congress, which he led for almost thirty years, together in exile. Sadly, he did not live to see the dawn of the democratic dispensation that he dedicated his life to fighting for, passing away a mere year shy of the 1994 national elections. The Oliver & Adelaide Tambo Foundation (the Foundation) is a public benefit organisation established to promote, protect and preserve the legacy of veteran freedom fighters and doyens of democracy, Oliver and Adelaide Tambo. The Foundation achieves this by undertaking education-focused, community- upliftment initiatives that seek to instil the values for which the Tambos stood into a new generation. We believe that these values, such as integrity, selflessness, and collective, servant leadership, are critical in consolidating our democracy. By equipping young leaders with the tools to reinforce the gains made by Oliver Tambo, South Africa’s democratic dispensation will be protected and nurtured for years to come. The Foundation has partnered with South Africa’s National Research Foundation (NRF) and the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI) and Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) to develop the O.R. Tambo Africa Research Chairs Initiative (ORTARChI). The initiative was first announced in 2017 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Oliver Reginald Tambo. Now, the initiative stands ready to launch the inaugural 10 O.R. Tambo Africa Research Chairs as selected by ORTARChI. PROGRAMME O.R.

  • Ramaphosa Unveils Cabinet and Cracks the Whip on Ministers
    SAFE HANDS ENTRUSTED WITH THE ECONOMY Ramaphosa unveils cabinet and cracks the whip on ministers An emboldened President Cyril Ramaphosa stamped his new-found authority on the government late Wednesday evening, trimming the Cabinet by eight ministerial posts and flexing his muscles by leaving out in the cold some of the most controversial individuals. Ramaphosa retained the reluctant but trusted Tito Mboweni as Minister of Finance, whilst placing Ebrahim Patel in charge of a combined ‘super economic portfolio’ which includes Trade and Industry as well as Economic Development. In spite of a blatant attempt by the Public Protector to rule Pravin Gordhan out of contention for Cabinet by hastily issuing a report which founded Gordhan guilty of violating the Executive Ethics Code, Ramaphosa evidently considered Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s own credibility in proceeding to reappoint Gordhan to the critical Public Enterprises post. The extractive industry’s darling, former mineworkers’ union boss Gwede Mantashe, was charged with responsibility for If we are to make effective progress in Energy, now combined with his previous Mineral Resources building the South Africa that we all portfolio. want, it is important that we deploy into In what has been widely welcomed as a deft reconfiguration positions of responsibility people who are of Government, Ramaphosa amalgamated several ministries committed, capable and hard-working, and axed the likes of ANC Women’s League President and who have integrity. The people who Bathabile Dlamini and Siyabonga Cwele, key supporters and I am appointing today must realise that the expectations of the South African enablers of former President Jacob Zuma’s nine-year rein.
