  • The New Cabinet
    Response May 30th 2019 The New Cabinet President Cyril Ramaphosa’s cabinet contains quite a number of bold and unexpected appointments, and he has certainly shifted the balance in favour of female and younger politicians. At the same time, a large number of mediocre ministers have survived, or been moved sideways, while some of the most experienced ones have been discarded. It is significant that the head of the ANC Women’s League, Bathabile Dlamini, has been left out – the fact that her powerful position within the party was not enough to keep her in cabinet may be indicative of the President’s growing strength. She joins another Zuma loyalist, Nomvula Mokonyane, on the sidelines, but other strong Zuma supporters have survived. Lindiwe Zulu, for example, achieved nothing of note in five years as Minister of Small Business Development, but has now been given the crucial portfolio of social development; and Nathi Mthethwa has been given sports in addition to arts and culture. The inclusion of Patricia de Lille was unforeseen, and it will be fascinating to see how, as one of the more outspokenly critical opposition figures, she works within the framework of shared cabinet responsibility. Ms de Lille has shown herself willing to change parties on a regular basis and this appointment may presage her absorbtion into the ANC. On the other hand, it may also signal an intention to experiment with a more inclusive model of government, reminiscent of the ‘government of national unity’ that Nelson Mandela favoured. During her time as Mayor of Cape Town Ms de Lille emphasised issues of spatial planning and land-use, and this may have prompted Mr Ramaphosa to entrust her with management of the Department of Public Works’ massive land and property holdings.

SAFSC is therefore left without any option by to report for the fourth time and publicly write to the President of South Africa his excellency Mr. Matalema Cyril Ramaphosa, the Minister for Human Settlement, Water and Sanitation, her excellency Lindiwe Sisulu and the Minister for Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs her excellency Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, requesting that urgent action 1 be taken in order to provide clean water so as to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and to create an environment that is not harmful to people’s health or well-being. The importance of water cannot be emphasised enough. Without water humans will die. However, during the covid-19 pandemic, water is a key player in curbing the spread of the virus by providing sanitation and to allow society to function with some level of normality.

OVERVIEW OF THE ANC NATIONAL CONFERENCE From December 16 - 20, 2017, South Africa’s ruling African National Congress (ANC) Party will convene its 54th National Conference to elect the next cohort of leadership. Although significant attention has been focused on who will succeed Jacob Zuma as President of the ANC, the over 5,000 voting conference delegates will also elect other key party leadership positions – including the National Executive Committee (NEC), which will in turn elect the National Working Committee (NWC).

  • South Africa South Africa at a Glance: 2006-07
    Country Report South Africa South Africa at a glance: 2006-07 OVERVIEW The ruling African National Congress (ANC) is expected to maintain its overwhelming hegemony during the forecast period. However, the party and its leadership will be preoccupied with maintaining party unity and an orderly process of electing a successor to Thabo Mbeki as ANC president at the party!s national congress in December 2007. Economic policy will continue to focus on increasing economic growth and investment in order to create employment. Assuming a sound mix of fiscal and monetary policy combined with public- sector wage moderation, weaker administered prices and lower private-sector unit labour costs (owing to productivity gains), inflation is expected to remain within the target range of 3-6% in 2006-07. The rand is forecast to average R6.85:US$1 in 2006, and to continue to depreciate gently in the medium term. A sharper fall is possible, however: risk factors continue to be the high price of crude oil, US interest-rate movements, South Africa!s widening current-account deficit and the role of short-term speculative inflows in the capital account. Further growth in construction and continued expansion in total domestic demand is expected to support real GDP growth of 4.7% in 2006 and 4.5% in 2007. Fairly strong global demand and high commodity prices will help to boost exports, but rising imports mean that the current account is forecast to remain in deficit, at 5% of GDP in 2006, although the deficit should narrow to 4.7% of GDP in 2007.

Against the backdrop of the Covid-19 crisis and recovery, it is even more crucial to work together to build an inclusive and resilient future through water by charting transformative pathways to protect people, the planet, and ensure prosperity for all. We must continue to address the nexus between water and climate change - especially as countries enter the implementation phase of the Paris Climate Agreement. At 2pm CET on 24 August you can hear what the ministers from Colombia, the Netherlands, South Africa, and Sweden, as well as the President of Senegal have to say about their strategies when it comes to the urgent need for climate action and the importance of re-valuing water as well as their response to Covid-19 and building back better through resilient water management. Maggie White and Kanika Thakar from SIWI are delighted to moderate this conversation and are looking forward to receiving questions from the audience prior to the session via social media and during the discussion. #WorldWaterWeek #wwweek #athome STOCKHOLM INTERNATIONAL WATER INSTITUTE Box 101 87 │ SE-100 55, Stockholm, Sweden Visiting Address: Linnégatan 87A Tel. +46 8 121 360 00 │ Fax. +46 8 121 360 01 │ www.siwi.org Programme 14.00 Introduction Torgny Holmgren, Executive Director, SIWI 14.03 Video message from His Excellency President Macky Sall, Republic of Senegal 14.07 Video message from H.E.
