  • Eff Welcomes the Public Protector's Report On
    EFF WELCOMES THE PUBLIC PROTECTOR’S REPORT ON PRAVIN GORDHAN Friday, 24 May, 2019 The EFF welcomes the Public Protector’s report, in particular on Pravin Gordhan. The Public Protector found that Pravin Gordhan, whilst minister of Finance violated the constitution by irregularly approving the early retiremenof Ivan Pillay (his friend) with full pension benefits as if he had retired at the appropriate pension age of 65. The Public Protector declared that Gordhan’s actions were in violation of the Public Finance Management Act, the Government Employees Pension Act as well as the Public Protector’s Act. In essence none of the laws he used to give Pillay early retirement empower him to do so. Most importantly, he gave Pillay full pension benefits at the expense of tax payers, thus failing to protect public funds and violated the constitution as Minister of Finance. This is pure disregard of the constitution, abuse of power and maladministration. He now falls squarely in the line of many constitutional delinquents against whom chapter 9 institutions and our courts have found. There is no difference between him and Malusi Gigaba, Nomvula Mokonyane, and Bathabile Dlamini. Pravin Gordhan is a constitutional delinquent who must not be reappointed into any Cabinet and who must resign from public office in general, particularly from Parliament. No one who is willing to abuse the public office like he did, particularly at taxpayer’s expense, must be allowed to come back to parliament or be in the cabinet. If Ramaphosa appoints Gordhan to his Thuma-Mina new dawn cabinet, then we know there is no difference between him and Zuma in rewarding corrupt individuals with cabinet posts.

  • The Effect of China's Scramble for Resources and African Resource Nationalism on the Supply of Strategic
    THE EFFECT OF CHINA’S SCRAMBLE FOR RESOURCES AND AFRICAN RESOURCE NATIONALISM ON THE SUPPLY OF STRATEGIC SOUTHERN AFRICAN MINERALS: WHAT CAN THE UNITED STATES DO? Dr. Stephen Burgess 2010 INSS RESEARCH PAPER US AIR FORCE INSTITUTE FOR NATIONAL SECURITY STUDIES USAF ACADEMY, COLORADO THE EFFECT OF CHINA’S SCRAMBLE FOR RESOURCES AND AFRICAN RESOURCE NATIONALISM ON THE SUPPLY OF STRATEGIC SOUTHERN AFRICAN MINERALS: WHAT CAN THE UNITED STATES DO? Dr. Stephen Burgess*† 2010 The continued free market supply of strategic minerals from Southern Africa is a matter of importance for the United States government. US defense industries require strategic minerals for the manufacture of systems which are critical to US national security. In the coming years the free market supply of Southern African strategic minerals could become diminished, and US national security interests could be adversely affected as a result. Areas of particular concern include infrastructure problems in the region, African resource nationalism and Chinese demand-driven intervention in Southern Africa. PROJECT SUMMARY This report builds upon the 2010 INSS Research Paper titled “Sustainability of Strategic Minerals in Southern Africa and Potential Conflicts and Partnerships” concerning the sustainability of the supply of mineral resources from Southern Africa that are strategic to the United States.1 This report focuses on competition and potential conflict over strategic minerals caused by Chinese demand-driven activities and African resource nationalism. These are the two variables which can most cause dramatic contractions in strategic minerals supply. This report provides additional analytical depth and makes definitive predictions; and it also broadens the scope of analysis to include the platinum and chromium-rich but troubled country of Zimbabwe.

  • Statement on Measures to Strengthen Governance at Eskom
    Statement on measures to strengthen governance at Eskom 20 January 2018 Government today announces a number of measures to strengthen governance at Eskom, including the appointment of new board members and stabilising management at the energy parastatal. This follows a meeting of President Jacob Zuma, Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa, Public Enterprises Minister Lynne Brown and Minister of Finance Malusi Gigaba on Friday 19 January 2018 to address urgent challenges at the company. This intervention will be ratified by Cabinet at its next meeting. Eskom is critical to the South African economy.
