  • Media Release 7 September 2015 the World Gathers For
    MEDIA RELEASE 7 SEPTEMBER 2015 THE WORLD GATHERS FOR THE XIV WORLD FORESTRY CONGRESS Durban - The Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Mr Senzeni Zokwana officially opened the XIV World Forestry Congress today. Also present to officiate the ceremony was Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa, FAO Special Ambassador for Forests and the Environment HRH Prince Laurent of Belgium, African Union Commission chairperson Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, Minister of Water and Sanitation Nomvula Mokonyane, Deputy Minister Bheki Cele including the provincial leadership of agriculture. The congress, hosted for the first time on African soil, will run from 7-11 September 2015 under the theme ‘’Forests and People: Investing in a Sustainable Future.’’. The congress aims to focus on global issues affecting the forestry sector and provide a platform for sharing of knowledge and experience regarding the conservation, management and use of the world's forests. Speaking at the opening ceremony Minister Zokwana said, “Forests not only deliver timber and timber products, but also non-wood forest products which improve the social-economic standing in our communities - trees and forests also contribute towards food security.” The highlight of the day was the planting of the millionth tree under the department’s Million Trees Programme. The Million Trees Programme was launched during the 2007 Arbor Week campaign as part of the South African contribution to the United Nations Environment Programme “Plant for the Planet: Billion Tree Campaign”, where communities, industry, civil society organisations and governments are encouraged to plant at least one billion trees worldwide. Join the engagement by using the hashtag #Forests2015. For further information please contact Makenosi Maroo on 072 475 2956 or Bomikazi Molapo on 078 801 3711 .

  • Taking Control of NUM: the Rise of the Communist Faction
    CHAPTER 9 Taking Control of NUM: The Rise of the Communist Faction THE COMMUNIST CADRE The ideal type of leadership I now address is closely linked to the type of organisation NUM became as it was increasingly controlled and shaped by Gwede Mantashe, its general secretary from 1998 to 2006. Mantashe was then elected secretary general of the ANC in 2007. This internal reconfiguration is closely related to a changing balance of forces in the union, which started in the early 2000s when, after Kgalema Motlanthe, James Motlatsi left NUM. A former NUM head office employee once described Mantashe to me as a ‘hard-core communist’, a national leader in the SACP – a party my interlocutor described as the ‘most Stalinist in the world’, recall- ing that when Mantashe heard about the coup d’état against Gorbachev, in 1991, he ‘was so happy when he arrived at work’. With this in mind, I will first consider the question: what does it mean to be a communist cadre in twenty-first century South Africa? This will then allow me to consider NUM’s departure from the type of leadership described earlier, which combined administrative and organisational skills with some form of involvement and proximity with the membership base. In this configuration of the leader–member relationship, the top-down dynamic that structured NUM over time was tempered by mechanisms that allowed the base to retain some degree of worker control, which corrected the union’s centralising tendency. In Mantashe’s ideal of organisation, ‘discipline’ became the preferred type of allegiance, which was mechanically imposed on the union in line with the prin- ciple of ‘democratic centralism’.

  • Speech by Fw De Klerk to the Conference on the Future of Property Rights Johannesburg Country Club 27 August 2014
    SPEECH BY FW DE KLERK TO THE CONFERENCE ON THE FUTURE OF PROPERTY RIGHTS JOHANNESBURG COUNTRY CLUB 27 AUGUST 2014 THE EVOLUTION OF PROPERTY RIGHTS SINCE 1994 It is with regret that I must inform you that Minister Gugile Nkwinti will not be able to join us today. He told us that he would very much have liked to have been able to address us but, despite his best efforts, was unable to change pre-existing commitments. However, he has assured us that he would like to establish a renewed dialogue in relation to land reform and has asked us to coordinate an alternative date as soon as possible. We welcome this because we believe that it is essential that there should be an open exchange of views on the crucial questions of land reform and property rights. It is essential that there should be no misunderstanding on property rights because of their central importance for future investment and economic growth on the one hand, and intergroup relations on the other. The problem is that we are receiving contradictory messages from Government. Two years ago - at this same venue - I made a speech in which I warned that South Africa was at a crossroads. I said that we could “… either take the road to economic growth and social justice that is indicated by the National Planning Commission - or we can take the “second phase” road toward the goals of the National Democratic Revolution.” I said that the National Development Plan presented a vision of a future South Africa that we could all share.

South Africans go to the polls for the country’s sixth national and provincial elections in 2019. To encourage South Africa’s youth to register and vote in the upcoming elections, the Electoral Commission has launched an innovative communication and education campaign. “The young people of South Africa comprise an increasingly powerful and crucial segment of our economy, our culture, our democracy and our country. But until they register and vote, they are unable exercise their right to participate in choosing the future of our country,” says Electoral Commission Chairperson, Glen Mashinini. The campaign features young South Africans from all walks of life expressing their reasons for the importance of voting in the upcoming elections under a newly-created word: Xsê. “We zoned in on a phrase that is uniquely South African. It’s cool and can be used easily by anyone across the culture lines. It’s a call to action phrase, one that prompts you to take notice and take action,” explained Chief Electoral Officer, Sy Mamabolo. “Xsê is a multi-culturally understood colloquial South African term that can be used in many situations, especially when one wants to be heard. Elections allow for an individual’s voice to be heard hence we made it for the individual to own.
