    FW Addresses Threats to the National Accord Africa of 2008 – Pressures Which Give Rise to Serious Concerns

    Consensus A PUBLICATION OF THE FW DE KLERK FOUNDATION The FW de Klerk Foundation Volume 5, Issue 2 2nd Quarter /July 2008 FW addresses threats to the National Accord Africa of 2008 – pressures which give rise to serious concerns. Threats to kill Firstly, I am deeply concerned by the statements recently made by Julius Malema and Zwelinzima Vavi that they are prepared to kill in their efforts to support Mr. Jacob Zuma. These statements cannot be dismissed as mere rhetoric and nor can there be any debate regarding their meaning. Neither can they be viewed as being inconsequential - because they have been made by leaders of two of the main formations in the ruling alliance. They show a fundamental disregard for the values enshrined in our constitution which establishes a Mr. FW de Klerk society based on law - where all disputes are resolved by constitutional means and in accordance with the law. The constitution also Mr. FW de Klerk addressed the Cape Town Press specifically prohibits propaganda for war, Club on 25 June 2008 on his deep concern over a incitement of imminent violence and advocacy of number of recent developments – developments hatred based on race. that could undermine the national accord upon The statements follow on the recent murders of which the new South Africa has been established. some 65 people in xenophobic attacks.

    Annual Report to Citizens 2014/2015

    Annual Report to Citizens Who is in charge? The Department is led by the Western Cape Minister of Human Settlements, Mr Bonginkosi Madikizela (left). He is an elected politician appointed as the executive authority of the department. The Head of Department (HOD) is Mr Thando Mguli (right), an appointed public servant who is selected to implement the programmes of the department. Mr Mguli is also the Chief Accounting Officer for the department. Achievements 2014/2015 During the financial year under review, the Department exceeded its housing targets, according to the reporting requirements of the Auditor General. Deliverable Delivered Target Housing Units 10 746 10 357 Serviced Sites 7014 6211 Other housing opportunities 1046 1015 In addition, the department obtained a clean audit for the first time since 1994. The successful service delivery was due, in part, to the following mitigation strategies against underperformance. • Monitoring of delivery was undertaken on a bi-weekly basis throughout the first half of the year to ensure that contractors’ maintained performance and problem areas were timeously addressed. During the last half of the year, the frequency of monitoring was increased. • Regular technical meetings with the staff of the City and other municipalities ensured the alignment of performance reporting as well as the mitigation of detected problems. Active projects were accelerated to make up for delays on slow moving projects. Potential mitigation projects were identified at the beginning of the year to enable this. Our Budget The budget for 2014/2015 was R2 151 327 billion for all programmes. R170 543 000, or 7.9% of the budget, was spent on salaries for 518 employees remunerated during the financial year.

    Protecting the public or politically compromised? South Africa’s anti-corruption bodies Judith February The National Prosecuting Authority and the Public Protector were intended to operate in the interests of the law and good governance but have they, in fact, fulfilled this role? This report examines how the two institutions have operated in the country’s politically charged environment. With South Africa’s president given the authority to appoint key personnel, and with a political drive to do so, the two bodies have at times become embroiled in political intrigues and have been beholden to political interests.

We will be remembering the life of one of the most remarkable leaders this continent and indeed the world have produced. We will recount Madiba’s long walk to freedom, his wisdom, his unfailing humility, his abiding compassion and his essential integrity. As the government of South Africa, we have dedicated this year to his memory and we will devote our every action, every effort and every utterance to the realisation of his vision of a democratic, just and equitable society. Indeed, I dedicate my visit here today to Madiba and the long held view by the South Africa ruling party, the African National Congress and its government to forge and strengthen bilateral relations between South Africa and Zimbabwe.

    South Africa Political Snapshot New ANC President Ramaphosa’S Mixed Hand Holds Promise for South Africa’S Future

    South Africa Political Snapshot New ANC President Ramaphosa’s mixed hand holds promise for South Africa’s future South Africa’s ruling party, the African National Congress, yesterday (20 December) concluded its 54th National Conference at which it elected a new leadership. South African Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa was announced the ANC’s new leader against a backdrop of fast-deteriorating investor confidence in the country. The new team will likely direct the ANC’s leadership of the country for the next five years and beyond. Mr Ramaphosa’s victory is not complete. The election results have been the closest they have been of any ANC leadership election in recent times. The results for the top six leaders of the ANC (Deputy President, National Chairperson, Secretary-General, Treasurer-General and Deputy Secretary-General) and the 80-member National Executive Committee (NEC - the highest decision-making body of the party between conferences) also represent a near 50-50 composition of the two main factions of the ANC. Jacob Zuma, Mr Ramaphosa’s predecessor, still retains the presidency of South Africa’s government (the next general election is still 18 months away). It enables Mr Zuma to state positions difficult for the new ANC leadership to find clawback on, and to leverage whatever is left of his expanded patronage network where it remains in place. A pointed reminder of this was delivered on the morning the ANC National Conference commenced, when President Zuma committed the government to provide free tertiary education for students from homes with combined incomes of below R600 000 – an commitment termed unaffordable by an expansive judicial investigation, designed to delay his removal from office and to paint him as a victim in the event it may be attempted.

  • Bosasa Executives Privy to Sensitive Details of NPA Case Against Them

    Bosasa Executives Privy to Sensitive Details of NPA Case Against Them

    24 January 2019 Zondo Commission: Bosasa executives privy to sensitive details of NPA case against them Bosasa CEO Gavin Watson allegedly boasted about playing puppeteer with former president Jacob Zuma to his colleague Angelo Agrizzi and former commissioner of the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) Linda Mti. He also told the pair that he knows of a particular approach he has to use with the president to get him to listen, and act. The commission of inquiry into state capture heard on Thursday an audio recording, which Agrizzi said he made during a 2015 meeting between himself and the two men. In the audio, a distinction between three different voices - all male - can be made. For the most part it features the person identified by Agrizzi as Watson, talking about the details of the politics within the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) at the time, particularly with regard to the DCS tender corruption case against Bosasa. He also seems to express his frustrations with the status of the case, which seemed to have gone away at some point in the past. Bosasa directors, including Watson and Agrizzi, as well as Mti and former DCS chief financial officer Patrick Gillingham featured in the potential prosecution. The man further singles out then senior prosecutor for the NPA Glynnis Breytenbach as being the reason why the case would not go away, because she was obsessed with discrediting Bosasa in the media. He talks of plans to bring Zuma up to speed with all this information, to show him who cannot be trusted within the NPA.
