The SECRETARY: Debate on Vote 1 – Premier – Western Cape Adjustments Appropriation Bill [B 6 – 2018]. The SPEAKER: I see the Premier. The PREMIER: Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. The Adjustments Budget represents an increase of R10,4 million when compared to the 2018/19 main Budget. This increase will assist the Department to invest in much needed IT refresh and to communicate with citizens regarding water scarcity, especially beyond the borders of the City of Cape Town. To deal with water scarcity, a targeted Water Demand Management Communication Campaign will be undertaken in the Karoo and parts of the West Coast over the summer period. These areas remain under distress and the campaign to the value of R4,6 million aims to encourage responsible water use so that limited supply can be conserved. The campaign will also 2 reach tourists and residents more broadly with the simple “Save water this summer” message. R2 million has been allocated towards the strategic communication campaign which aims to report back to Western Cape residents as we come to the end of this administration. This aims to inform citizens of what we have done with public funds. Hon members ... [Interjection.] Mr Q R DYANTYI: It is fine.

We also, just came from celebrating youth month Wand the highlight was June 16. This reminds me of a song, I recently heard, from one South Africa's celebrated top Hip Hop artist. His name is Tuks this is what he says about challenges being faced by the youth today; Xolani Luthuli from the Communication Team “This is where we from – Bottom to the Top – the Bottom struggle never stops. Check where we were brought up – Prisons held our leaders. 20 years haven't gone by – but we have already forgotten where we come from” This touched me because most of us seem to be unsure of the sacrifices that the Class of 1976, made for us. They paved the way for us to be emancipated and it's up to us to repay them by Editorial Team: being the best that we can be in our respective areas. The struggle for our total emancipation hasn't stopped, let's shoulder Editor: on. So June 16, its not just a political day or holiday, it's a day we Xolani Tyilana must reflect on our past, make an informed decision in the Tel: 021 483 2686 present, so that we can have a positive impact on our future. Content: Xolani Luthuli To my fellow youth members out there, the struggle isn't over, not Tel: 021 483 3605 just yet, we have to deal and come out on top from the challenges we are now facing.

    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS UPSALAIENSIS Skrifter utgivna av Statsvetenskapliga föreningen i Uppsala, 168 Neighbourhood Politics in Transition Residents’ Associations and Local Government in Post-Apartheid Cape Town Sara Monaco Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Brusewitzsalen, Department of Government, Gamla Torget 6, Uppsala, Friday, March 7, 2008 at 13:15 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The examination will be conducted in English. Abstract Monaco, S. 2008. Neighbourhood Politics in Transition. Residents’ Associations and Local Government in Post-Apartheid Cape Town. Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. Skrifter utgivna av Statsvetenskapliga föreningen i Uppsala 168. 223 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 978-91-554-7084-5. This study focuses on the changing practices of South African residents’ associations and their relationship with political parties and local government from 1990 to 2006, with the aim to examine how associations in Cape Town respond when they are confronted with a new democratic institutional and political context. Two empirical questions guide the analysis: How do residents’ associations perceive that the changing political context has affected them in their attempts to influence agenda-setting and decision-making? And how can we understand the process in which they decide to act, or not act, in response to important changes in their political environment? Drawing on social movement theory, most importantly the notions of political opportunity structures and framing processes, an analysis is made of the most significant changes in Cape Town’s post-apartheid institutional and political context. The empirical findings – based on questionnaires, interviews and an in-depth study of the township of Imizamo Yethu in Hout Bay – show that associations in socio-economically distinct areas have different perceptions of their prospects of affecting agenda-setting and decision-making.

  • 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.
