Social Cohesion Report 1 WORKING TOGETHER TO CREATE A CARING AND PROUD SOCIETY WORKING TOGETHER TO CREATE A CARING AND PROUD SOCIETY A NATIONAL SOCIAL COHESION SUMMIT REPORT WALTER SISULU SQUARE OF DEDICATION KLIPTOWN SOWETO 4 - 5 JULY 2012 WALTER SISULU SQUARE OF DEDICATION, KLIPTOWN SOWETO, 4 - 5 JULY 2012 2 Foreword by the Ministry of Arts and Culture A National Social Cohesion Summit, convened by the Department of Arts and Culture on behalf of Government, took place on the 4th and 5th of July 2012. The venue was the Walter Sisulu Square of Dedication in Kliptown, Soweto, where the historic Freedom Charter was adopted. A total of 2300 delegates, representing the diversity of our people, participated in the Summit and subscribed to a declaration renewing their commitment to building an inclusive and cohesive society. This Summit was another step on our road to building a unified nation of people with diverse origins, histories, languages, cultures and religions. We committed ourselves to convening social-cohesion and nation- building summits at provincial, local and community level within the next twelve months. National Government will work with the provinces and municipalities to ensure that this happens in preparation for a second national summit in 2014, coinciding with the 20th Anniversary of Freedom and Democracy. This report, which summarises the proceedings of the Summit and serves as a reference document for our future work, captures the concerns and the commitments made and these will be processed as we implement the decisions of the Summit. Paul Mashatile Minister of Arts and Culture On behalf of Government, Dr Joe Phaahla, the Deputy Minister, and I would like to thank you for your contribution towards building an inclusive, non-racial and democratic society over the past 18 years. We call on you to continue to foster unity; to spare no effort in building a nation of people who are caring and dignified, with a great sense of humility and mutual respect for one another; and to promote a conscious sense of being proudly South African, committed to the country and open to the continent and the world.

  • ANIMISM, ANCESTORS and ANC the Centenary Celebrations of the ANC
    ANIMISM, ANCESTORS and ANC The centenary celebrations of the ANC and their determination to dedicate the country to the ancestral spirits sparked nation wide controversy. How are we as Christians to respond? What does the Bible say concerning the spirits of our ancestors? To whom should South Africa be dedicated? Are there examples in history of other nations that have invoked the spirits of their ancestors? What were the results in those cases? Celebrations The African National Congress started off the year by throwing itself a lavish birthday party in Bloemfontein. To celebrate its journey from anti-apartheid movement to ruling party, they scheduled a golf outing, champagne toasts, and an inter-faith service which involved slaughtering a bull and invoking the ancestral spirits. Ritual Slaughter With drums pounding and chants filling the air, the ANC president, Jacob Zuma, initiated the traditional cleansing ceremony by ritually sacrificing a bull, killing it with a spear, while it was tied to a tree. ANC secretary general, Gwede Mantashe, explained: "traditionally the act of slaughtering has different meanings. All nations have a way of celebration through slaughter... it is the same but in different circum- stances." The inter-faith service included messages and blessings from representatives of all major relig- ions, including Muslim, Hindu, Christian, Rastafarian, and traditional Animist witchdoctors. Despite the ANC, chaplain general's assertion that "all nations have a way of celebration through slaughter" journalists could not think of how the Queen of England, for example, marks national events by ritual slaughter of a helpless animal. Opposition Prayer Dr. Kenneth Meshoe, opposition leader of the African Christian Democratic Party, turned down his invitation to attend the festivities, declaring that invoking the spirits of dead leaders will have devastating consequences for the country.

  • South Africa's Anti-Corruption Bodies
    Protecting the public or politically compromised? South Africa’s anti-corruption bodies Judith February The National Prosecuting Authority and the Public Protector were intended to operate in the interests of the law and good governance but have they, in fact, fulfilled this role? This report examines how the two institutions have operated in the country’s politically charged environment. With South Africa’s president given the authority to appoint key personnel, and with a political drive to do so, the two bodies have at times become embroiled in political intrigues and have been beholden to political interests.

    IMPEDIMENTS IN THE PROMOTION OF THE RIGHT TO GENDER EQUALITY IN POST- APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA by NOMTHANDAZO PATIENCE NTLAMA submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of: DOCTOR OF LAWS at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROF. A E A M THOMASHAUSEN JUNE 2010 Student number: 43205321 I declare that ‘IMPEDIMENTS IN THE PROMOTION OF THE RIGHT TO GENDER EQUALITY IN POST-APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA’ is my own work and that all sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. SIGNATURE: MS NP NTLAMA Date: June 2010 i ABSTRACT The adoption of the 1996 Constitution in recognition of the historic imbalances that South Africa inherited from its past, affirms the commitment to the promotion of human rights including the right to equality. The emphasis on the right to equality in the Constitution and other related laws discussed in the study represents a guarantee for both men and women the right to equal treatment and benefit of the law. The point of departure is based on the premise that views the law as an instrument that has the potential to effect social change. The primary purpose is to determine various factors that are an impediment to the significance of the law for the promotion of the right to gender equality. The objective is to establish with sufficient certainty the substantive conception of the right to gender equality in post-apartheid South Africa. This dissertation examines and provides a brief overview of the development and the intersection of the principles of non-discrimination at the international and regional spheres and their influence in broadening the scope for enforcement of gender equality in South Africa.

Einleitung Der Anfang der 1990er Jahre bedeutete nicht nur in Europa, sondern auch in Südafrika das Ende einer Epoche. Im Jubel um das Ende der Ost-West-Konfrontation trat der hiesige Wandel beinahe in den Hintergrund. Dennoch wurde in diesen wenigen Jahren der Grundstein für die Demokratisierung Südafrikas gelegt. Das System von Rassentrennung und Herrschaft der weißen Minderheit, die Apartheid, hatte jegliche innenpolitische Legitimität verloren und machte einem System der demokratischen Gleichberechtigung und Rassengleichheit Platz. Nach nunmehr zwanzig Jahren nach der ersten freien Wahl wurde 2014 die fünfte Wahl zur Nationalversammlung abgehalten. Dieses Jubiläum gibt Anlass, auf die Entwicklung von Wahl- und Parteiensystem Südafrikas zurückzublicken.
