In the initial chaos and uncertainty we opted for centralised decision making and management. Looking back, I believe this was the right decision, especially for the support value that this offered to our staff at the front line. 2 REFLECTION – HELP TO DETERMINE More than ever before we built social capital among THE NEXT STEP the programmes, and between the programmes and HOME the management programme.

  • National Identity and Sovereignty: Debates Around the South African Nation-State from 1990 to 2010
    Name of Candidate: Abba Omar, Yacoob Student Number: 0501212X Degree: Doctor of Philosophy, University of Witwatersrand September 2017 Title: An examination of the relationship between national identity and sovereignty: debates around the South African nation-state from 1990 to 2010. Supervisor: Prof Ran Greenstein 1 DECLARATION I declare that this Thesis is my own, unaided work. It is being submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination at any other University. _______________________________________ (Signature of candidate) 13 September 2017 in Johannesburg 2 Abstract: The study attempts to examine the relationship between national identity and political sovereignty and their impact on the emergence of nations, with a special focus on debates around the South African nation-state from 1990 to 2004. Located within the postcolonialism approach, the study looks at national identity through the prism of ethnicity, language, religion and race, while sovereignty is considered through its two component parts, the state and citizenry. By examining two postcolonial contexts, the Arab world and India, the study has developed a framework which is applied to the study of the South African state. This framework identifies nationalism as a glue which holds sovereignty and identity together in the nation-state. The two cases reveal that there is always more than one nationalist narrative, often competing against each other. In the case of the Arab world the study looks at the tensions between pan-Arabism, Arab nationalism and Islamism. In the case of India a secular Indian nationalism has had to compete against a Hindu nationalism.

    1 TUESDAY, 23 JULY 2019 PROCEEDINGS OF THE WESTERN CAPE PROVINCIAL PARLIAMENT The sign † indicates the original language and [ ] directly thereafter indicates a translation. The House met at 14:15. The Speaker took the Chair and read the prayer. The SPEAKER: Hon members, I would like to bring to your attention that before I call on the first speaker, I wish to remind members of certain key rules of the debate and that which we must all adhere to . Although the interjections are allowed and would be allowed, senseless interjections and running commentary will not be permitted because they will not help us in what we want to achieve in the debate. So as Speaker I would like to reiterate that as hon members we will all be treated equally and that member s as I have been saying from day one, can count on the protection from the Chair, from time to time as and when required to do so but also the Presiding Officers, myself and the Deputy Speaker, because it is a long session, we really request hon members to assist the Presiding Officers by ensuring that there is decorum that is desired in terms of the Standing Rules. 2 Allegations of unparliamentary language would be dealt with on the merits on a case-by-case and the context will be taken into account when p ronouncing on those. Remarks made in debate or by any other interjection would be put to a test and we therefore need to be circumspect of the language we use as hon members; then that suggests that you must use an honourable language as hon members.

It observes that South Africans now have a great "window of opportunity" that allows them to establish the habits and mores necessary to a working security oversight regime, and argues that the way in which South Africa strikes a balance between the requirements of nationalsecurity and the preservation of personal liberties is of enormous importance to the Republic's future. It further contends that South Africa's choices in this arena could have significant implications and/or hold important lessons for other democracies aroundthe world.
