Annual Report Social science that makes a difference a sharper focus on poverty, inequality and unemployment | HSRC Integrated Annual Report | 1 “Going forward, our research agendas should therefore take cognisance of not only the range and complexities of the inequalities we have identified, but also interrogate policy efforts and activism to address these. As well, new developments in the policy space require our attention. The recent inclusion of inequalities as a stand-alone goal in the SDG’s, the adoption of Agenda 2063 -- the AU’s ambitious programme of structural transformation and regional integration -- are just two examples” – From the closing remarks by President of CODESRIA, Professor Dzodzi Tsikata at the World Social Science Forum 2015. CODESRIA Bulletin Nos 3 & 4, 2015 page 63 (http://www.codesria.org/spip.php?article2504&lang=en) In this Integrated Annual Report we show how the HSRC, through its dedication and hard work connect the points between poverty, inequality, and unemployment.

  • Welcoming Remarks by Dr Naledi Pandor, Minister of International
    1 WELCOMING REMARKS BY DR NALEDI PANDOR, MINISTER OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND COOPERATION, DURING VIRTUAL THE PROGRAMME FOR INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPME IN AFRICA (PIDA) WEEK 2020: 19 JANUARY 2021 Programme Director; Your Excellencies; Ladies and Gentlemen: Compliments of the new season to you all! I would also like to welcome you to PIDA week 2020. We are brought together today by commitment to our shared vision for a prosperous Africa and a better world. We meet at a time of great distress both for the African continent and the entire world. As PIDA 2020 shows, the Covid-19 global pandemic has at once disrupted and transformed the way we do business and how we interact with one another. Nevertheless, it is necessary to meet to continue determining plans to help us achieve progress and to avoid further decline in our socio-economic conditions. Your Excellencies; The Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA) was created as a framework for stakeholders in the continent to utilise and develop the infrastructure necessary for tangible growth and to integrate the continent physically, economically and socially, with the objective of boosting trade, creating new jobs for Africa’s growing population and improving the overall socio-economic conditions of our people. 2 PIDA was also designed to mobilise resources to transform our infrastructure as well as modernise it in order to integrate the African continent and the world. Achieving these goals can only be done through our collective effort as Member States effectively using our existing frameworks of regional and continental cooperation. A great deal of progress is being recorded in PIDA implementation, and AUDA-NEPAD remains pivotal in this exercise we are not at the required level of implementation and governments and the AU need to give greater support to active implementation.

  • A Comparative Study of Zimbabwe and South Africa
    FACEBOOK, YOUTH AND POLITICAL ACTION: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ZIMBABWE AND SOUTH AFRICA A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY of SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM AND MEDIA STUDIES, RHODES UNIVERSITY by Admire Mare September 2015 ABSTRACT This comparative multi-sited study examines how, why and when politically engaged youths in distinctive national and social movement contexts use Facebook to facilitate political activism. As part of the research objectives, this study is concerned with investigating how and why youth activists in Zimbabwe and South Africa use the popular corporate social network site for political purposes. The study explores the discursive interactions and micro- politics of participation which plays out on selected Facebook groups and pages. It also examines the extent to which the selected Facebook pages and groups can be considered as alternative spaces for political activism. It also documents and analyses the various kinds of political discourses (described here as digital hidden transcripts) which are circulated by Zimbabwean and South African youth activists on Facebook fan pages and groups. Methodologically, this study adopts a predominantly qualitative research design although it also draws on quantitative data in terms of levels of interaction on Facebook groups and pages. Consequently, this study engages in data triangulation which allows me to make sense of how and why politically engaged youths from a range of six social movements in Zimbabwe and South Africa use Facebook for political action. In terms of data collection techniques, the study deploys social media ethnography (online participant observation), qualitative content analysis and in-depth interviews.

  • 25 Years in the Global Arena
    25 Years in the Global Arena Working for a Better South Africa, in a Better and Safer Africa, in a Better World South Africa’s achievement of democracy had global significance, enabling the free South Africa to immediately become a global citizen of note. As the free South Africa reaches 25 years since the first democratic elections in 1994, let us reflect on what it has achieved in the global arena. 2 25 Years in the Global Arena “We are aware that by our common actions we have sought not only the liberation of the people of South Africa but also the extension of the frontiers of democracy, non-racial, non-sexism and human solidarity throughout the world.” – Nelson Mandela, Speech to the United Nations, 24 September 1993 Icons such as Nelson Mandela and other freedom fighters, South Africa’s cultural and performing artists and its sportsmen and women combined with the famous democratic transition gave South Africa notable prestige globally. 25 Years in the Global Arena 3 4 25 Years in the Global Arena 25 Years in the Global Arena 5 Madiba Magic – Returning to the global stage 6 25 Years in the Global Arena 25 Years in the Global Arena 7 8 25 Years in the Global Arena International solidarity OR Tambo brought the friends of South Africa together throughout the world in a continuous and sustained mobilisation of the international community in support of a free and democratic South Africa.

  • The New Cabinet
    Response May 30th 2019 The New Cabinet President Cyril Ramaphosa’s cabinet contains quite a number of bold and unexpected appointments, and he has certainly shifted the balance in favour of female and younger politicians. At the same time, a large number of mediocre ministers have survived, or been moved sideways, while some of the most experienced ones have been discarded. It is significant that the head of the ANC Women’s League, Bathabile Dlamini, has been left out – the fact that her powerful position within the party was not enough to keep her in cabinet may be indicative of the President’s growing strength. She joins another Zuma loyalist, Nomvula Mokonyane, on the sidelines, but other strong Zuma supporters have survived. Lindiwe Zulu, for example, achieved nothing of note in five years as Minister of Small Business Development, but has now been given the crucial portfolio of social development; and Nathi Mthethwa has been given sports in addition to arts and culture. The inclusion of Patricia de Lille was unforeseen, and it will be fascinating to see how, as one of the more outspokenly critical opposition figures, she works within the framework of shared cabinet responsibility. Ms de Lille has shown herself willing to change parties on a regular basis and this appointment may presage her absorbtion into the ANC. On the other hand, it may also signal an intention to experiment with a more inclusive model of government, reminiscent of the ‘government of national unity’ that Nelson Mandela favoured. During her time as Mayor of Cape Town Ms de Lille emphasised issues of spatial planning and land-use, and this may have prompted Mr Ramaphosa to entrust her with management of the Department of Public Works’ massive land and property holdings.

    1 SPEECH BY DR NALEDI PANDOR, MINISTER OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND COOPERATION, AT THE GERTRUDE SHOPE ANNUAL DIALOGUE FORUM: 27/08/ 2020 Programme Director, Ambassador Mathu Joyini; Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs, H.E Ine Eriksen Søreide; African Union Special Envoy for Women Peace and Security, H.E Bineta Diop; Executive Director of UN Women, H.E Phumzile Mlambo-Nguka; Distinguished Guests; Ladies and Gentlemen: Let me start by welcoming you to the 2020 Gertrude Shope Annual Dialogue Forum. I also wish to acknowledge and thank our partners, specifically the Office of the Special Envoy at the AU and the Government of the Kingdom of Norway. This forum is named after a stalwart, a revolutionary and one of the pioneering gender activists of South Africa, Mrs Gertrude Shope. We wish Mma Shope well following the celebration of her 95th birthday last week. Later in the programme I will have the honour to pay tribute to this compelling figure whose legendary contribution to the fight against the denial of women's rights has bequeathed to us a rich and illuminating legacy which continues to inspire gender struggles in South Africa more than sixty-six years after her tenacious struggle to expand the contours of the meaning of freedom. Our dialogue this year is taking place under the unusual circumstances of a virtual portal platform because of the COVID-19 global pandemic, which has redefined the normal way of doing business for much of the world. While it may seem an uncomfortable exercise for those of us who are used to the traditional mode of engagement, this so-called ‘new normal’ in the form of virtual communication allows us to reach an audience we would not usually have access to, 2 and as such, we hope that the Women, Peace and Security dialogue will similarly reach a wider audience in order to communicate the message of peace and security for women.

She also lauded Professor Mashudu Tshifularo, an ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist at the Steve Biko Academic Hospital, and his team for their ground-breaking work in developing a pioneering surgical procedure using 3D-printed middle ear bones to improve hearing.
