Media Storm Over Malema's Tender Excesses
Legalbrief | your legal news hub Thursday 23 September 2021 Media storm over Malema's tender excesses A picture of unrestrained excess and cronyism is painted in three Sunday newspaper reports claiming ANC Youth League president Julius Malema's millionaire lifestyle is being bank-rolled by lucrative government contracts awarded to his companies, writes Legalbrief. The Sunday Times, City Press and Rapport all allege Malema has benefited substantially from several tenders - and that most of them stem from his home province Limpopo, where he wields significant influence. According to the Sunday Times, official tender and government documents show Malema was involved in more than 20 contracts, each worth between R500 000 and R39m between 2007 and 2008. One of Malema's businesses, SGL Engineering Projects, has profited from more than R130m worth of tenders in just two years. Among the tenders awarded to SGL, notes the report, was one by Roads Agency Limpopo, which has a budget of over R2bn, and which is headed by Sello Rasethaba, a close friend of Malema. Rasethaba was appointed last year shortly after Malema's ally, Limpopo Premier Cassel Mathale, took office. Full Sunday Times report Full City Press report Full report in Rapport Both the ANC and the Youth League have strongly defended Malema, In a report on the News24 site, the ANC pointed out Malema had not breached any law or code of ethics by being involved in business. Spokesperson Brian Sokutu said: 'Comrade Malema is neither a member of Parliament or a Cabinet Minister and he has therefore not breached any law or code of ethics by being involved in business.' ID leader Patricia De Lille said Malema should stop pretending to represent the poor when he was living in opulence earned from the poor and ordinary taxpayers in a society plagued by the worst inequalities in the world. -

J. D. Froneman Mede-studieleier: prof. dr. A. S. de Beer Potchefstroom 1998 Daar is uiters stroewe mense wat jy nooit met enige redenasie kan beinvloed nie. En wanneer jou geloofwaardigheid onder verdenking is, ofwanneer jou gesag geminag word, maak jy weinig vordering - selfs by leergierige mense. Johannes Calvyn (J 509-1564) Hierdie werk dra ek op aan die nagedagtenis van my pa, Jan van Vlastuin ( I 93 9-1997), wat plotseling dood is terwyl ek, ver weg in Suid-Afrika, met die navorsing vir hierdie verhandeling besig was. BEDANKINGS Dit is 'n goeie gewoonte om aan die begin van 'n verhandeling sekere bedankings uit te spreek aan alma! sonder wie se hulp die studie nie afgehandel sou kon word nie. Daarom gryp ek ook die geleentheid aan om die talle mense te bedank wat my in die periode van navorsing gehelp het. * In die eerste plek is dit my ouers, wat my - aanvanklik teen wil en dank - gestimuleer het om te studeer en wat dit aanvaar het dat ek vir 'n jaar Suid-Afrika toe gegaan het om hierdie navorsing te doen. * Ek is ook erkentlik vir die hulp en aanwysings van my studieleier, prof. Johannes D. Froneman, wat op sy eie wyse leiding gegee het aan die studie en wat my nie as 'n ondergeskikte student nie, maar meer as 'n gelyke behandel het en wat altyd bereid was om uitgebreid die lewenskragte van die 'nuwe' Suid-Afrika te bespreek. -

Response – a Game-Changer Or a Damp Squib Jan 2014
RESPONSE January 29, 2014 A Game-changer or a Damp Squib? Even before yesterday’s announcement that Dr Mamphela Ramphele is to be the Democratic Alliance’s ‘presidential candidate’, the 2014 election season had already thrown up a number of interesting developments: the final departure of Julius Malema from the ANC and his emergence as leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters; the fragmentation of COSATU, as seen in the decision of its biggest member-union not to support the ANC in the elections, and in the sidelining of its errant secretary-general, Zwelinzima Vavi; the booing of President Zuma during the memorial service for Madiba, and his subsequent absence from a number of the party’s provincial manifesto launches; the increasing prominence of Cyril Ramaphosa as the real face of the ANC’s campaign. Against such a background, how important is the fact that Dr Ramphele has now joined forces with the DA? At the levels of symbolism and principle, it is certainly groundbreaking; but when it comes to the practical essence of party politics – the attraction of votes – it is more likely a damp squib. Up to now, the DA has attracted very few credible African politicians with anything approaching a track record in the struggle. Some of its up-and-coming African members, such as Lindiwe Mazibuko and Mmusi Maimane, are evidently capable politicians who promise much for the future; but they were children when apartheid ended. Dr Ramphele’s struggle credentials are well known and extensive, all the more so, perhaps, in that she fought apartheid from outside the Congress movement. -

Policy shifts of the post-apartheid period not only necessitated new visions for the future but also new structures. The creation of a value-based new identity in foreign policy needed to be accompanied by a transformation of institutions relevant for the decision-making process in foreign policy. Looking at foreign policy in the era of President Mbeki, however, it becomes obvious that Max Weber’s observation that “in a modern state the actual ruler is necessarily and unavoidably the bureaucracy, since power is exercised neither through parliamentary speeches nor monarchical enumerations but through the routines of administration”,* no longer holds in the South African context. -
19 November 2018 Joint Memorandum by COPE And
19 November 2018 Joint memorandum by COPE and AfriForum to the US Embassy in Pretoria concerning expropriation without compensation and farm murders and attacks in South Africa Background of COPE and AfriForum COPE is a South African opposition party with representation in the South African Parliament. The president of the party, Mr. Mosiuoa Lekota, is a former member of the South African governing party, the ANC. Lekota spent more than 13 years in and out of prisons on Robben Island on the main land and under the previous regime because of his political activities. With the beginning of the new dispensation in 1994, he was elected Premier of the Free State Province in South Africa under the banner of the ANC, subsequently, also serving in South Africa’s National Cabinet. Lekota resigned from Cabinet and as ANC member when the ANC began to disregard the national constitution. As this trend persisted he led the move to form the Congress of The People (COPE) AfriForum is a South African civil rights organization that was founded in 2006. With more than 215 000 active members, AfriForum is currently the largest civil rights organization in Africa. AfriForum focuses on the protection of constitutional rights (as enshrined in the South African Constitution), human and minority rights, as well as other internationally recognized rights. AfriForum condemns any form of racism and is working peacefully within the framework of the law to help create a society where minorities such as Afrikaners, Afrikaans-speaking people and all South Africans may continue to live in freedom, safety and prosperity on a basis of mutual recognition and respect at the southern tip of Africa. -
The Politics of Distribution in South Africa
The Politics of Distribution in South Africa Sarah Gray Knoesen Department of Political Science University of California, San Diego [email protected] This Draft: May 8, 2009. This is a work in progress. Please do not cite. Prepared for presentation at WGAPE, May 15 & 16, 2009, UCLA. 1 I. Introduction The distributive decisions governments make have important welfare implications for their citizens. These effects are particularly pronounced in African countries where small changes in resource allocation can lead to large changes in a local government’s ability to provide public services, which in turn can positively or negatively affect the future welfare of citizens (Miguel and Zaidi 2003). Local governments in Africa depend mainly on the central government to provide the necessary funds in order to provide services such as healthcare, education, and water and electricity to their constituents. If the central government diverts funds disproportionally to its supporters, other citizens have to forgo these necessities. This, in turn harms economic development and growth. The same is true, albeit on a smaller scale, at the level of local government. If one area within a district continually receives fewer public services, the residents of that area will face higher costs in acquiring goods such as water, health, and education, leaving less time and resources to pursue economically productive endeavors. It is thus critical to understand how governments choose to distribute resources, in order to identify potential issues that could hamper the growth potential in Africa. When the African National Congress (ANC) won South Africa’s first democratic elections in 1994, South Africa was one of the most unequal countries (societies) in the world. -

Representation of South African Women in the Public Sphere
REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH AFRICAN WOMEN IN THE PUBLIC SPHERE PREPARED BY ADITI HUNMA, RESEARCH ASSISTANT 1 REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH AFRICAN WOMEN IN THE PUBLIC SPHERE METHODOLOGY The aim of this report is to explore how South African women are (re)presented by the media as they engage in the public sphere. It looks at women in three different fields namely, politics, business and art, analysing at the onset the way they argue, that is, as rhetorical agents. It ihen proceeds to assess how these women's gender is perceived to enhance or be detrimental to their capacity to deliver. In the process, the report comes to belie and confront various myths that still persist and taint women's image in the public arena. In the realm of politics, I will be analysing Cape Town Mayor and Head of DA, Helen Zille. In the corporate world, I will be looking at Bulelwa Qupe, who owns the Ezabantu, long-line Hake fishing company, and in the Arts, I will be looking at articles published on Nadine Gordimer, the author who bagged the Nobel Literature Prize less than two decades back. Data for this purpose was compiled from various websites, namely SABCNews.com, Mail and Guardian, News24, IOL and a few blog sites. It was then perused, sorted and labelled. Common topos were extracted and portions dealing with the (re)presentation of women were summarised prior to the actual write up. In the course of the research, I realised that the framing of events had a momentous bearing on the way the women came to be appear and so, I paid close attention to titles, captions and emboldened writings.
