Madam Speaker, Premier, Cabinet colleagues, members of this House, the Head of Department and the Department of Agriculture, the citizens of this province: It is impossible to stand here today and address you on the state of agriculture in the province and not mention the drought. Madam Speaker, I know you have not seen me here in a jacket of late, so if you do not mind, I am going to take my jacket off because, as this House knows, from 1 February or Level 6B water restrictions, I have been wearing jeans and a T-shirt to work for three days in a row before I wash them.

  • 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.

Because of the unavailability of our chamber in 7 Wale Street, this chamber, Good Hope Sub-council Chambers here at 44 Wale Street will be used temporarily for House sittings from today until further notice. Please also note that in compliance with the Powers, Privileges and Immunities of Parliaments and Provincial Legislatures Act, 2004, this chamber, the gallery, the lobbies, and adjacent passage and ablution facilities as well as the committee room on the 12th floor will be regarded as the 2 precinct of the Provincial Parliament.

  • REPRODUCING TOXIC ELECTION CAMPAIGNS Negative Campaigning and Race-Based Politics in the Western Cape
    124 JOURNAL OF AFRICAN ELECTIONS REPRODUCING TOXIC ELECTION CAMPAIGNS Negative Campaigning and Race-Based Politics in the Western Cape Cherrel Africa Dr Cherrel Africa is Head of the Department of Political Studies at the University of the Western Cape e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The 2014 election in the Western Cape was once again a high-stakes, fiercely-contested affair. Political parties saw the Western Cape as an ‘open race’ and the province became the centre of vigorous campaign efforts in the lead-up to the election. The African National Congress (ANC), which had lost control of the province because its vote share dropped from 45% in 2004 to 32% in 2009, hoped to unseat the Democratic Alliance (DA), which had won in 2009 by a very narrow margin (51%). The ANC felt that it had done enough to regain control of the province, especially in light of deep-seated disillusionment in many communities and the violent protests that took place prior to the election.While the ANC maintained its support base, winning votes from 33% of the provincial electorate, the type of identity-based campaign it pursued combined with other factors to work to the DA’s advantage. Despite the fact that the DA also engaged in race- based campaigning it won 59% of the provincial vote. This was obtained at the expense of small parties, who received negligible support in the 2014 election. Only the Economic Freedom Fighters and the African Christian Democratic Party won enough votes to obtain a seat each in the provincial legislature.
