    A Critical Analysis of the Legality of Racial Quotas As a Tool for Transformation in South African Professional Sport

    A critical analysis of the legality of racial quotas as a tool for transformation in South African professional sport. Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Laws at the Stellenbosch University Keenan Horne Supervisor: Prof André M Louw Date: March 2021 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. March 2021 Copyright © 2021 Stellenbosch University All rights reserve i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za SUMMARY South Africa is a country steeped in sport, which is an important part of the culture of large parts of the population. The new political dispensation in South Africa that came into existence in 1994 recognized the inequalities that had negatively affected South Africans in sport and in other areas of their lives, over the span of many years. It prompted government to introduce affirmative action measures in sport as in other areas of the lives of South Africans. After 26 years these affirmative action measures that have been implemented in sport still remain a challenge for sports governing bodies, and are still controversial. This dissertation aims to delve deeper into these affirmative action measures and, specifically, to critically analyze the legality of racial quotas in professional sport in South Africa as a tool to accelerate transformation.

    The Zuma Moment: Between Tender-Based Capitalists and Radical Economic

    The Zuma Moment: Between Tender-based Capitalists and Radical Economic Transformation Ashwin Desai1 Department of Sociology, University of Johannesburg, Kingsway Campus, Auckland Park, 2006, Johannesburg. The Jacob Zuma Presidency (2009-2017) was dogged by persistent allegations of corruption and the looting of State Owned Enterprises (SOE’s) by those allied to him. It led to allegations of state capture that placed the Gupta family at the centre of this project. These allegations have been highly contested, with Zuma supporters arguing that he has come under attack because of his support for the BRICS alliance (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa), which they hold challenges Western imperial interests. Alongside this are those aligned to the Gupta family, arguing that the real culprits of state capture, both historically and in contemporary South Africa, is White Monopoly Capital (WMC), through its ability to determine macro-economic policy. At the heart of this contest is what has come to be known as tender-based capitalists who sought to use access to SOE’s for the accumulation of capital. This process has been defended on the basis that it has the potential to lead a radical economic transformation (RET) that that can challenge the power of WMC. Others have held that this argument is a mere fig leaf for the looting of state coffers, eroding its capacity for deeper developmental initiatives and fostering a parasitic class. This article that focusses on this debate that entered the heart of the African National Congress (ANC) and threatened to tear it apart takes the form of a conjunctural analysis; conjuncture defined as an amalgam ‘of circumstances, a convergence of events, an intersection of contingencies and necessities, a complex, overdetermined state of affairs-usually 1 E-mail: [email protected] producing a crisis, leading to breaking point, driving to historic crossroads’ (Mowitt, 2015: 125).

Further, the analysis examines the means by which these techniques located the ANC at the centre of liberation and post-independent political narratives and explores and posits a basis for understanding the behaviour of the ANC and leading actors in the political sphere.
  • Analysis of Covid-19 Media Coverage

    Analysis of Covid-19 Media Coverage

    ANALYSIS OF COVID-19 MEDIA COVERAGE BRIEF Number: One Compiled by Azola Dayile Edited by Thandi Smith & Lister Namumba Designed by Nomshado Lubisi www.mediamonitoringafrica.org.za Introduction On Thursday, March 05, 2020, the National Institute for Communicable Diseases of South Africa (NICD) confirmed that a suspected case of Covid-19 had tested positive.[1] Expectedly, this caught the attention of the public, and more so the media with many news publications reporting on the case. As the virus rapidly spread, an increasing number of Covid-19 related articles were published on a daily basis on South African online news/media publications. In order to establish trends in this coverage, Media Monitoring Africa (MMA) is undertaking an analysis of who is interviewed the most, the gender and race representations and, the collective number of articles published per week. This is to get a data-driven view of how the media reports on Covid-19 in a short period. This analysis is for a period of five days. We use Dexter,[2] an in-house online tool, to gather and analyse the data using keywords “Coronavirus”, “Quarantine”, “Lockdown”, “Covid-19” and “Pandemic”. For the purpose of this brief, we covered a five-day period from the 13th – 17th April, 2020. The total number of articles analysed is 2368. [1] See: https://www.nicd.ac.za/first-case-of-covid-19-coronavirus-reported-in-sa/ 1 [2] Access to Dexter can be granted upon request. Whose voice do we hear in the media? Alan Winde 5% Angie Motshekga 9% Cyril Ramaphosa 43% David Makhura 2% Donald Trump 5% Fikile Mbalula 2% Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma 3% Salim Abdool Karim 5% Tito Mboweni 15% Zwelini Mkhize 11% 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 Looking at the sources breakdown in the graph above (fig.1), what can be gleaned from the data is that the people who have been interviewed and/or quoted by the media are high-ranking government officials.
  • Ramaphosa Unveils Cabinet and Cracks the Whip on Ministers

    Ramaphosa Unveils Cabinet and Cracks the Whip on Ministers

    SAFE HANDS ENTRUSTED WITH THE ECONOMY Ramaphosa unveils cabinet and cracks the whip on ministers An emboldened President Cyril Ramaphosa stamped his new-found authority on the government late Wednesday evening, trimming the Cabinet by eight ministerial posts and flexing his muscles by leaving out in the cold some of the most controversial individuals. Ramaphosa retained the reluctant but trusted Tito Mboweni as Minister of Finance, whilst placing Ebrahim Patel in charge of a combined ‘super economic portfolio’ which includes Trade and Industry as well as Economic Development. In spite of a blatant attempt by the Public Protector to rule Pravin Gordhan out of contention for Cabinet by hastily issuing a report which founded Gordhan guilty of violating the Executive Ethics Code, Ramaphosa evidently considered Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s own credibility in proceeding to reappoint Gordhan to the critical Public Enterprises post. The extractive industry’s darling, former mineworkers’ union boss Gwede Mantashe, was charged with responsibility for If we are to make effective progress in Energy, now combined with his previous Mineral Resources building the South Africa that we all portfolio. want, it is important that we deploy into In what has been widely welcomed as a deft reconfiguration positions of responsibility people who are of Government, Ramaphosa amalgamated several ministries committed, capable and hard-working, and axed the likes of ANC Women’s League President and who have integrity. The people who Bathabile Dlamini and Siyabonga Cwele, key supporters and I am appointing today must realise that the expectations of the South African enablers of former President Jacob Zuma’s nine-year rein.
  • A Holding Cabinet

    A Holding Cabinet

    Response February 27th, 2018 A Holding Cabinet After the almost tsunami-like wave of euphoria that greeted Jacob Zuma’s handover of the reins of leadership to Cyril Ramaphosa, a wave boosted by the latter’s strong State of the Nation Address, it was inevitable that a measure of realpolitik would intrude at some stage. Last night’s cabinet reshuffle might well have been such a moment, and probably the first of many. There were high hopes for a full clean-up of cabinet, with marching orders being given to all the corrupt ministers, all the Gupta-linked ministers, all the inept ministers and all the underperforming or non-performing ministers. Clearly, Mr Ramaphosa was not able, and perhaps not willing, to move so far or so fast. Rather, it appears to be a case of getting rid of the worst and bringing back the best, with a fair number of questionable performers left alone or shifted sideways. Thus, some of former President Zuma’s closest allies are out: Mosebenzi Zwane, David Mahlobo, Des van Rooyen, Faith Muthambi, Bongani Bongo. Conversely, people with a track record for diligence and hard work are in, significantly strengthening the executive: Pravin Gordhan, Nhlanhla Nene, Zweli Mkhize, Derek Hanekom, Gwede Mantashe. Somewhat surprisingly, given her disastrous handling of Social Development, Bathabile Dlamini has been retained in cabinet, though shifted to the Women’s portfolio within the Presidency. This signals Mr Ramaphosa’s enforced sensitivity to ‘constituencies’ within the ANC; in this case the Women’s League, of which Ms Dlamini is president. Perhaps a similar consideration explains the survival of Nomvula Mokonyane, whose tenure as Water and Sanitation Minister was so bad that the Standing Committee on Public Accounts chairperson has described her department as having “totally collapsed”.
