As the sixth Premier of Gauteng, I know full well that we would not have made the progress that we have made without the invaluable contribution of ethical public servants and conscientious service providers. I, therefore, take this opportunity to convey my gratitude to you all for contributing to the marked improvement in the quality of life of Gauteng residents. I call on you to continue to serve the people of Gauteng diligently and ethically, as we face the future with conﬁdence, inspired by the spirit of resilience and excellence.

Winkie Direko-A Political Leader in Her Own Right?
JOERNAAL/JOURNAL TWALA/BARNARD WINKIE DIREKO-A POLITICAL LEADER IN HER OWN RIGHT? Chitja Twala* and Leo Barnard** 1. INTRODUCTION To record merely that Winkie Direko, present premier of the Free State Province, was born on 27 November 1929 in Bochabela (Mangaung) and to an average family, will be an inadequate prelude to assessing her community and political life, which had an impact on her political career. Her entry into full-time party politics after the April 1994 first non-racial democratic election in South Africa caused a great stir in the Free State Province, and no one ever expected that she would rise to the premiership position after June 1999. This article attempts to provide an accurate, scientific and historical assessment of Direko as a political leader in her own right amid serious criticisms levelled against her before and after her appointment as the province's premier. The article, however, does not tend to adopt a defensive stance for Direko, but rather to answer a repeatedly asked question in the political circles of the Free State Province on whether Direko is a political leader or not. The article extends beyond narrowly held views that Direko emerged to promi- nence after she had been inaugurated as the province's second woman premier in 1999. In the political arena, some critics within the ruling African National Congress (ANC) in the Free State Province claim that there is no testimonial that can more aptly describe her political leadership role. The fact that she occupied the premiership position for almost five years unlike her predecessors is testimony enough that she is a political leader in her own right.

Sub-National Governments and Foreign Policy: the Case of the Limpopo Province in South Africa
SUB-NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS AND FOREIGN POLICY: THE CASE OF THE LIMPOPO PROVINCE IN SOUTH AFRICA by Vhulenda Edna Matshili Submitted in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Masters of Arts in the subject Politics at the University of South Africa Supervisor: Professor Jo-Ansie van Wyk 2013 DECLARATION I declare that “Sub-national governments and foreign policy: The case of the Limpopo province in South Africa ” is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. ________________________ _____________________ Signature Date (Miss Vhulenda Edna Matshili) i ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to analyse and describe the role of sub-national governments (SNG’s) in foreign policy and how the conduct of diplomacy has developed in the South African context, and to assess why and how provinces engage in this phenomenon. The theoretical approach to this study is embedded in neo- functionalism. In order to illustrate this, the South African province, the Limpopo Province is used as an illustrative case study. In particular, the study will analyse the role of the International Relations Unit (IRU) within the Office of the Premier (OtP) in the Limpopo Province as a case study. Limpopo is the main focus of this study because it, inter alia, borders on three sovereign states (Botswana, Mozambique and Zimbabwe) which place the province in a good position to engage in international relations, mutual intentions and friendly relations with its neighbouring and other distant countries. The results of this study is that provinces have become important foreign policy and international relations actors in the area of low politics; however the national government remains as the main actor in the international relations and foreign policy making process.

Address by the Honorable Premier, Ms Noxolo Kiviet, at the 2nd Session of the Anti-Corruption Learning Network, 30-31 July 2009. Summerstrand Inn Port Elizabeth 30 July 2009 Greetings Honorable Minister of the Department of Public Service & Administration Members of the Provincial Anti-Corruption Forum & Council Directors General and Heads of Department Representatives of the Anti-Corruption Coordinating Committee Distinguished ladies and gentlemen On this occasion of the Second Session of the Anti-Corruption Learning Network, I wish to express my pleasure of being part of a public service that is caring towards the citizens that we serve. On behalf of the Eastern Cape Provincial Government I further wish to express our unwavering commitment to uprooting corruption in all structures and systems of government. I am indeed honored to be part of this momentous occasion and to co-host this brilliant initiative, the Anti- Corruption Learning Network. Today in South Africa, we hardly open a newspaper without being confronted by reports relating to a wide range of unethical activities, from lowest levels of municipal service delivery to the highest echelons of government and public enterprises. However, South Africans have not met this challenge with apathy. There is a growing realization that if we do not stem out the tide of corruption, then the dream of a free and prosperous South Africa will not materialize and the entire 1 hope of a better life for all will be difficult to realize. Most fundamentally, our young democracy will be at stake In order to give effect to our resolve to uproot corruption in all its forms and manifestations government passed various pieces of legislations that are aimed at curbing corruption and crime, for example: • Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) No.

A relatively rare election-free steer, President Ramaphosa will need calendar (Table 1) may allow a more assertive stance from government in resolving to carefully balance competing and some of the country’s pressing structural challenges.

Critical trade-offs will likely become more apparent in 2020: though government is unwilling to consider meaningful job cuts at, or direct privatisation of, Eskom, it is nonetheless pushing forward with the utility’s unbundling and is evidently intent on supporting the deregulation of the energy sector, thus enabling far stronger private sector participation in electricity generation in order to alleviate the damaging effects of load-shedding on growth and confidence.

David Makhura
28 January 2021 TO: Manemolla David Makhura PREMIER OF GAUTENG ATTENTION: DAVID MAKHURA “BY E-MAIL” Dear Premier Makhura, RE: GAUTENG DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION CLEANING OF SCHOOLS SCANDAL. 1. Solidarity is a registered South African trade union in good standing with more than 200 000 members 2. Several of our members are educators, working for schools that fall under the Gauteng Department of Education 3. Several of our members are parents who have children in public schools in Gauteng that fall under the Gauteng Department of Education 4. Solidarity is absolutely astounded by reports that the Gauteng Department of Education spent R431 274 959 on disinfecting schools 5. A report on Daily Maverick indicated that the Gauteng Department of Education spent these inordinate amounts on schools between June and August 2020. The report further indicates that these amounts are massively inflated and were paid to vendors from the central supplier database under the emergency procurement protocols. Some of these vendors were not even specialised in cleaning services, yet they were paid massively inflated prices. 6. What is even more worrying is that the report indicates that the MEC for Education – Mr. Panyaza Lesufi – was completely taken aback by the funds spent by his department. Mr. Lesufi repeatedly states that he had absolutely no idea of the scale of funds being spent. 7. This is completely unacceptable, as the MEC for Education Mr. Lesufi is ultimately responsible for the actions of his department. His claimed lack of knowledge can only be attributed to one of two explanations – either he is complicit or incompetent.
