  • In the High Court of South Africa Eastern Cape Division
    IN THE HIGH COURT OF SOUTH AFRICA EASTERN CAPE DIVISION, GRAHAMSTOWN CASE NO. CA&R 159/2018 Date heard: 21 September 2020 Date delivered: 25 September 2020 In the matter between: ANDILE LUNGISA Applicant and THE STATE Respondent JUDGMENT RUGUNANAN, J [1] The time line of events concerning this matter commenced with an incident that occurred on 27 October 2016 in the council chamber of the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality. During a council meeting, the applicant struck Mr Rayno Kayser on the head with a glass jug filled with water. At the time the applicant was the leader of the African National Congress caucus in the council chamber and Mr Kayser was a Democratic Alliance councillor. [2] What followed was the applicant’s prosecution in the Port Elizabeth Magistrates’ Court on a charge of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm 2 for which he was convicted and sentenced during May 2018 to 3 years’ imprisonment, 1 year of which was conditionally suspended for 5 years.

  • FROM the Registrar, Supreme Court of Appeal DATE 9 September 2020
    SUPREME COURT OF APPEAL OF SOUTH AFRICA MEDIA SUMMARY – JUDGMENT DELIVERED IN THE SUPREME COURT OF APPEAL FROM The Registrar, Supreme Court of Appeal DATE 9 September 2020 STATUS Immediate Lungisa v The State (Case no 696/2019) [2020] ZASCA 99 (9 September 2020) Please note that the media summary is intended for the benefit of the media and does not form part of the judgment of the Supreme Court of Appeal. Today the Supreme Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal of the appellant, Mr Andile Lungisa against the decision of the Eastern Cape Division of the High Court, Grahamstown. Mr Lungisa, who was the leader of the African National Congress in the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipal Council, was convicted by the Port Elizabeth Magistrate’s Court of assaulting a fellow councillor from the Democratic Alliance, Mr Ryno Kayser (the complainant), with a glass jug filled with water, which shattered over his head and caused him several life- threatening injuries with long lasting adverse effects. This occurred during a council meeting held on 27 October 2016. On 9 May 2018 he was sentenced to three years imprisonment of which one year was suspended for a period five years on certain conditions (effectively two years’ imprisonment). His appeal in the high court failed against both his conviction and sentence. With the special leave of the Supreme Court of Appeal, he appealed against his sentence only. The Supreme Court of Appeal found no basis to interfere with the sentence imposed by the trial court, on the grounds that that court had appropriately balanced the appellant’s personal circumstances, the nature and seriousness of the crime committed and the interests of society.

  • The National Democratic Revolution (NDR) in a Post- 1994 South Africa: a Reconstruction, Interpretation and Evaluation of This Revolutionary Ideology
    The National Democratic Revolution (NDR) in a post- 1994 South Africa: A reconstruction, interpretation and evaluation of this revolutionary ideology Jan Charl Marthinus Venter Thesis submitted for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science at the Potchefstroom Campus of the North- West University Promoter: Professor A. Duvenhage November 2012 2 DECLARATION I declare “The National Democratic Revolution (NDR) in a post-1994 South Africa: A reconstruction, interpretation and evaluation of this revolutionary ideology” to be my own work, that all sources used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged, and that this thesis was not previously submitted by me or any other person for degree purposes at this or any other university. ........................................ ...................................... Signature Date 3 A WORD OF GRATITUDE I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Professor André Duvenhage who has inspired this thesis and its author; my mother and Anel for keeping me sane, Gérhard for his help and friendship, Simone for camaraderie, artistry and technical support, and Kate, Anneke and Lisl for the language editing. Above all I wish to say, Soli Deo Gloria and thank YOU. 4 ABSTRACT The National Democratic Revolution (NDR) is the central ideology of the governing tripartite alliance consisting of the ANC, the SACP and COSATU. In this class alliance that was formed in the struggle against apartheid, Communists, Socialists, (black) nationalists, Neo-liberalists and Pan-Africanists were to a certain degree united against the enemy of “colonialism of a special type” (apartheid in the vernacular of the NDR) and its exploitational economic legacy. From 2005 onward serious divisions within the once monolithic broad liberationist church became evident, and in 2007 at the Polokwane conference neo-liberalism (the “1996 class project”) was purged in favour of a more stringent and more socialist interpretation of the NDR.

  • FUTURE IMPERFECT the Youth and Participation in the 2009 South African Elections
    100 JOUR na L OF AFRIC an ELECTIO N S FUTURE IMPERFECT The youth and participation in the 2009 South African elections Ebrahim Fakir, Zandile Bhengu and Josefine K Larsen Ebrahim Fakir is manager for governance, institution and processes at EISA e-mail: [email protected] Zandile Bhengu is serving an internship at EISA e-mail: [email protected] Josefine K Larsen is a researcher at EISA e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT It was widely believed that more young people would participate in the 2009 general elections than had participated in elections in the past. This conjecture was based on increased youth registration figures at certain points in the registration process. Since 2007/2008 there had been an intense focus globally on the historic election of Barack Obama as the first African American president of the United States and it was surmised that his victory would invigorate an interest in politics around the world. The Obama election campaign’s extensive use of new media technologies, as well as the crafting of his central campaign message to appeal to the twin ideas of hope and change were thought to have had an invigorating impact on political idealism, political activism and political participation. This, along with other factors, it is widely claimed, had an effect on political and electoral participation in South Africa, especially among the youth. This article investigates these claims and examines trends in the participation of the youth in the four general elections held in South Africa since 1994, with a specific focus on the 2009 elections.

We have made great strides, which in our view, tells us that it was a good decision to establish the NYDA with its current mandate given the challenges faced by young people. We look back with pride as our delivery record has improved significantly. In the year under review, we have met most of our targets and in some areas managed to even exceed them. This is an achievement of 42 out of 49 key performance indicators in the financial year 2010 to 2011. It represents 85% achievement which is a significant improvement from 22.1% as compared to the previous financial year. Our country delivered to the world the most prestigious and successful 2010 FIFA World Cup with young people at the forefront to welcome the world to our country. While the country was celebrating with the world and enjoying the World Cup, it was our young people recruited with the assistance of the NYDA, who were volunteers ensuring that the world enjoys the South African experience.
