  • The Influence of the Global Financial Crisis and Other Challenges for South Africa's Non- Governmental Organisations and the Prospects for Deepening Democracy
    The Influence of the Global Financial Crisis and other Challenges for South Africa's Non- Governmental Organisations and the Prospects for Deepening Democracy By Nomathamsanqa Masiko Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in (International Studies)in the Faculty of Arts and Social Science at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Dr Nicola de Jager March 2013 Stellenbosch University http://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. November 2012 Copyright © 2013 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT The point of departure for this study was the wide-ranging furore in media publications regarding the pervasive decline in donor funding for civil society organisations in South Africa, as influenced by the recent global financial crisis, and the subsequent shutting down of a number of civil society organisations. The decision to embark on this study has its roots in the fact that civil society is an important feature in a democracy with regards to government responsiveness, accountability as well as citizen participation in democratic governance. In South Africa, particularly, this is important in light of the country’s fledgling democracy, and even more so, when considering the ruling party’s overwhelming political power resulting in a dominant party system.

Correspondence should be addressed to: Telfed, 19/1 Schwartz Street, Ra’anana, 43212 Israel Telephone +972 9-7446110 Fax + 972 9-7446112 E-mail: [email protected] About this book “South Africa’s 800” is about Machal, the collective Hebrew acronym for volunteers from abroad and about individual volunteers, colloquially known as Machalniks. The book reveals details never previously documented and provides a valuable new perspective on Israel’s birth and struggle for survival.

While written mainly through South African eyes, the book also contains gripping anecdotes about volunteers from the USA, Britain and other countries. It throws new light on important events and personalities of the time.

  • IDAFSA Canada
    IDAFSA Canada Legal defence and aid for the victims of apartheid 294 Albert Street Suite 200 Ottawa, Ontario KIP 6E6 Tel: (613) 233-5939 Envoy: IDAFSA Telex: AHH 6740 FAX: (613) 233-6228 Mission Statement o f IDAFSA (Canada) o assist those who are the victims of apartheid by ensuring Ttheir legal defence, by providing humanitarian aid and by building support in Canada through representation and education. IDAFSA (Canada)'s Objectives are to: 1 Ensure legal and financial assistance to prisoners who are detained under the apartheid laws and practices in South Africa, and to their families. 2 Educate Canadians about the reality of life under apartheid. Origins DAFSA's origins date back over 30 years to South Africa, J when legal and financial aid was provided in the famous trial involving Nelson Mandela and Albert Luthuli. For supporting the opponents of apartheid, the IDAFSA's oper­ ations through its South African committees were banned in 1966. Since then all the organizational work has been done externally, with a head office in London, England and affiliated national committees in several countries. In 1974, a North American Committee was established. In 1980, Andrew Brewin, a retired lawyer and long time Member of Parliament, together with several IDAFSA supporters, started an independent committee in Canada, affiliated to the international organization. IDAFSA (Canada) is federally incor­ porated as a non- profit corporation and registered as a charity with Revenue Canada. The money IDAFSA (Canada) raises for its humanitarian work, is generously matched by the Canadian government. Creating Awareness DAFSA (Canada) is committed to helping you to find out the J reality of life under apartheid and to give you the opportu­ nity to do something about it.
