  • Social Justice in South Africa Justiça Social Na África Do Sul Jayanathan Govender*
    http://dx.doi.org/10.15448/1984-7289.2016.2.23076 Dossiê: Desigualdades, estratificação e justiça social Social justice in South Africa Justiça social na África do Sul Jayanathan Govender* Abstract: South Africa is the world’s most unequal country. Poverty and inequality, exacerbated by unemployment are the country’s foremost challenges. The present government has made significant progress regarding the provision of basic services and broadening the social wage. However, the unfortunate reality is that inequality grew since the advent of democracy over twenty years ago. This development runs contrary to the commitments of the South African Constitution and social policy provisions, thereby raising more serious questions of rights and social justice. The continuity, depth and breadth of inequality, including the extraordinary financial and social costs is linked to the legacy of apartheid. Inequality is structurally embedded spatially and economically. Crucially, inequality is also a function of access to opportunities and human development outcomes. The paper attempts a theoretical discussion of the relationship between inequality, poverty and unemployment, which requires greater input; identifies some barriers to transformation; and presents tentative approaches towards lowering inequality. Keywords: Social justice. Inequality. Unemployment. Development. Policy. Resumo: A África do Sul é o país mais desigual do mundo. A pobreza e a desigualdade, agravadas pelo desemprego, são os desafios mais importante do país. O atual governo tem feito progressos significativos em relação à prestação de serviços básicos e ampliação dos benefícios sociais. No entanto, a triste realidade é que a desigualdade cresceu desde o advento da democracia, mais de vinte anos atrás. Esta evolução é contrária aos compromissos da Constituição Sul-Africana e a provisão de políticas sociais, tornando assim mais graves as questões de direitos e justiça social.

  • SEXUALITY, SECURITY, and the POST APARTHEID Statei
    Xavier Livermon SECURING PRIDE: SEXUALITY, SECURITY, and the POST APARTHEID STATEi Abstract In this essay, I argue for a reconceptualization of security sector reform in Africa, taking into account how Queer Theory might expand our understandings of security and insecurity on the African continent. Drawing from theories of human security, I argue for the denaturalization of gender and sexuality in considerations of security in sub-Saharan Africa. Furthermore, I argue for the importance of forms of vernacular security. Using Soweto Pride as an example, I demonstrate how cultural and representational practices become key sites for forging lasting forms of security for vulnerable populations. I conclude by revealing how Queer Theory framework in relation to security sector reform might allow for framing security outside of carceral state practices. INTRODUCTION In contemporary South Africa, security has emerged as a key word in the postapartheid neoliberal state. Insecurity was a marked feature of the declining years of the National Party government from the late 1970s to the 1994 elections. Insurrectionary, near revolutionary conditions created by internal dissent fueled various different forms of state reprisal and repression. These forms of state repression, while not new took on a different interpretative character as South Africa was positioned internationally as a pariah state that could no longer claim moral authority in relation to state sponsored violence both within and outside its borders. Its last gasp of legitimacy, as a bulwark against communism ceased to be a sufficient cause for blatant racial oppression post 1989. The National Party, rocked by internal dissent, unable to govern the black masses, and increasingly isolated internationally, sought a negotiated settlement.

Makoma Mabilo March 2018 Copyright © 2018 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract High levels of unemployment, widespread poverty and growing inequality in South Africa have led to an emphasis on employment as a solution to these problems. In the current post-apartheid era, various scholars have documented a growing flexibility within South Africa’s labour market, which they suggest indicates a breakdown of traditional, formal full-time employment contracts as well as a growth of precarious, marginal and atypical employment.

  • Names, Currency, and Acronyms
    PLACE- NAMES, CURRENCY, AND ACRONYMS The convention of historical writing of the country this book is about is to include a list of place- names in the front matter, with Rhodesian names on one side and the Zimbabwean names on the other. I will not do that here. The country I write about had four names between 1960 and 1980; what these were and how they changed are discussed at the start of the first chap- ter. I avoid such lists because of my concerns about a notion of before- and- after in history: a list of place-n ames and their changes suggests a too pat transformation from colony to nation, from bad to good, from minority to majority rule. Such a list also suggests that transitions are instantaneous, that a threshold has been crossed. For the reco rd, however, Rhodesia be- came Southern Rhodesia from mid- December 1979 to April 1980, when it became Zimbabwe. Salisbury, the capital, became Harare only in 1982. More common and never part of any list has been the tendency to use “Rhodesian” to mean white and “Zimbabwean” to mean African. I have tried to avoid this as often as I could throughout this book. With the breakup of the Central African Federation, Rhodesia named its currency the pound (£). Cast out of the sterling zone shortly a fter the Unilateral Declaration of In de pen dence (udi), Rhodesia valued its pound at US$2. In 1970, Rhodesia adopted the dollar as its currency. It was de- signed to be valued at half a British pound and between 1970 and 1980 hovered at about US$1.50.

VOORWOORD EN DANKBETUIGINGS Hierdie studie was vir my 'n moeilike en lang pad en 'n baie betrokke stuk werk. Dit is nie 'n studie waarin iets bewys word nie. Dit is 'n studie waaruit iets gebore moes word en groei. Die kind moes groat word. Niemand kon my regtig help om die kind groat te maak of voorse wat ek moet doen nie. Daar was slegs enkele riglyne of bakens en baie ondersteuning. Hierdie was 'n prosesmatige studie. Ek het ervaar hoe dit ontluik, ontwikkel en soms halsstarrig raak. Ek het soms slapelose nagte daaroor gehad en soms opwinding oar nuwe ervarings en ontdekkings. In hierdie moment-tot-moment en selfrefleksiewe proses was daar gelukkig mense wat dit makliker gemaak het. Baie dankie aan: Ferdi en ans kinders Ferdinand, Catherine en Fraser My ouers, skoonma, susters en hulle gesinne Ondersteunende vriende en vriendinne My studieleiers, drs Margaret O'Neil en Dries Du Tait Departementshoof en kollegas Huma Lauw, my lees en dink vriendin Wilma Goosen vir die taalversorging Janet Smith vir die tegniese versorging 302 SCHE Sole Deo Gloria!

    MCF #RED BLACK WHITE Directing potential since 1863 12 May 2019 15-2019 From the Headmaster’s Desk Dear Parents and Guardians This week we are focusing on COMMITMENT through our Character Education programme and on Friday, we celebrated Mothers ahead of Mother’s Day on Sunday. In line with the theme on Commitment, College is proud to recognize the long service of a number of our staff members who have served the school with distinction over the past 20, 30 and 40 years. 20-year Service: Mrs Suzanne Webley, Mr Ben Bosch, Mr Jabulani Mhlongo, Mrs Carol Smith, Mr Ken Hackland 30-year Service: Mr Sipho Zondi 40-year Service: Mrs Hazel Miller Boys were reminded of COMMITMENT TO ACADEMICS, with mid- year exams fast approaching, and the need to start revising and preparing, making use of chosen study and revision techniques, and where necessary, attending additional lessons after school. In recognition of Mother’s Day, we asked our boys to bring their mother or mother-figure in their lives to support them and watch them play on Saturday against DHS. There was also the chance to have a photo taken with “Mom” at the Pop-up Photo booth and give her a homemade biscuit. At College, we pay tribute to all our “Moms” who make such a difference in our lives. So what do Mothers want from their sons? • For you to be truly happy and safe • For you to have close, decent friends and to treasure friendship • For you to be proud of yourself and to build esteem in others • For you to have a zest for life and an enthusiasm for ensuring that you extricate the marrow
