  • ROOM to MANOEUVRE: Understanding the Development of Provincial Government in South Africa, 1994-2004
    ROOM TO MANOEUVRE: Understanding The Development Of Provincial Government In South Africa, 1994-2004 (Case Studies: Gauteng and Mpumalanga) Thabo Jackson Rapoo A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Johannesburg, 2005 ABSTRACT Since its inception in 1994, South Africa’s federal system of government has been the subject of intensive scholarly debates and wide-ranging academic writing. In particular, the functioning of the country’s provincial institutions has engendered heated public debates over the years about whether or not they have played their proper role as institutions of democratic governance. The major challenge that faced the framers of the country’s new constitution, and which continues to face policy makers currently, was to create functioning and effective democratic institutions of government at sub-national level. In addition to their role as democratic/political institutions of governance, the provinces are also agents of socio-economic development and the delivery of basic social services to citizens. In the course of attempting to fulfil their functional responsibilities since 1994, the provinces have encountered enormous political, constitutional, administrative and logistical problems that have led to widespread dissatisfaction about their performance and effectiveness. In fact, this dissatisfaction has also led to fundamental questions being raised about the future of the provinces in South Africa. This thesis seeks to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the provincial system during the 1994-2004 period, by looking at the question: to what extent has the provincial system of government fulfilled its responsibilities of promoting democratic governance and ensuring effective delivery of social services to citizens at sub-national level? It also provides an in-depth examination and analysis of the development of South Africa’s federal system of government between 1994 and 2004.

  • Marikana and the Doctrine of Maximum Force
    MARIKANA AND THE DOCTRINE OF MAXIMUM FORCE 1 MARIKANA AND THE DOCTRINE OF MAXIMUM FORCE Marikana and the Doctrine of Maximum Force By David Bruce LONDON — Nearly a quarter of a century after 96 Liverpool soccer fans were crushed to death in one of the worst stadium disasters in history, Prime Minister David Cameron formally apologized on Wednesday to the victims’ families, saying their “appalling deaths” were compounded by an attempt by the police, investigators and the news media to depict the victims as hooligans and to blame them for the disaster. Before a hushed House of Commons, Mr. Cameron said the families had suffered “a double injustice” in the failures of the police, fire officials and other authorities to anticipate the disaster or to contain its scale once it occurred, and in the efforts that followed to cover up police failings by altering witness statements, and to pin responsibility on the victims for their own deaths. -- New York Times, September 13, 2012 2 MARIKANA AND THE DOCTRINE OF MAXIMUM FORCE David Bruce David Bruce has been researching and writing about policing, violence and the criminal justice system since 1996, and is regarded as the country's leading experts on issues relating to police use of force. He has worked for a variety of think-tanks and NGOs, including the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation, the Institute for Security Studies, and Corruption Watch. 3 MARIKANA AND THE DOCTRINE OF MAXIMUM FORCE Published in South Africa in 2012 by PARKTOWN PUBLISHERS (Pty) Ltd Trading as MAMPOER SHORTS Harrow Court 1, Isle of Houghton, Boundary Road, Parktown, Johannesburg 2011/107084/07 Copyright © Parktown Publishers, South Africa, 2012 DB_Marikana20121018 Website: www.mampoer.co.za Email: [email protected] MampoerShorts promotes South Africa’s top writers.

They hardly communicate verbally to other people. Most of them, if not everyone, have smartphones which disturbs their social life and studies. The question is “How can people who care less about oth- ers and communicate nonverbally can be leaders?” A leader is someone who is at the top or above others ei- ther in the workplace, organization, musical band, study group and so forth, which consist of a number of people. Youth of today should get up and face reality and decrease the time they spend on social media platforms. They should go out there, meet people, engage themselves in projects of their stream, be active, connect and associate with people who are doing things relating to their careers.

  • 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.
