  • 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.

  • An Open Letter to the Vice President of ANC, an Open Letter to the Vice President of ANC, Cyril Ramaphosa Cyril Ramaphosa
    An open letter to The Vice President of ANC, Cyril Ramaphosa Dear Sir, Having recently personally purchased for R18 million a buffal o bull, I know you are someone who cares about our wildlife and heritage. My problem is this, in September 2011, I implored the President, Jacob Zuma to treat the invasion of Mozambicans who are killing our rhino as an invasion of our country. I feel the President, like President Ian Khama of Botswana, should be at the forefront of this rhino crisis. As from my attached letter, you will see that the war is intensifying into the private game reserves. In desperation, I have written a letter to the Minister of Defense, but I have had no response. I find the ANC Government aloof and non-communicative with its citizens. Can you urge the Minister of Defense to commit troops to crush this poaching once and for all. Could you as Vice President of ANC, take this crisis into your own hands and play the role that President Ian Khama is playing. This involves appearing on TV, motivating and inspiring us who are trying to combat the poaching. We desperately need leadership! The fire that you displayed when you were leading the unions against the big mining companies during apartheid, is needed now! Please reply to [email protected] Cell number: 083 6511 600 Tread Lightly on the Earth John Varty Co-owner of Londolozi Game Reserve Founder of Tiger Canyons This letter is copied to the following: 1) President of South Africa --- Jacob Zuma --- [email protected] 2) Min Defence and Military Veterans --- Ms Nosiviwe Noluthando

  • Minister, Police Chief Fingered by Public Protector
    Legalbrief | your legal news hub Thursday 30 September 2021 Minister, police chief fingered by Public Protector The Public Protector's police lease probe fingers National Police Commissioner Bheki Cele, businessman Roux Shabangu, Public Works Minister Gwen Mahlangu-Nkabinde and the DG in her department, Siviwe Dongwana, who claims fear for his safety and that of his family forced him to approve two lease deals worth R1.6bn, writes Legalbrief. This is revealed in the Sunday Times , which claims to have established that these allegations are contained in a provisional report on the latest investigation - into a Durban lease - by Public Protector Thuli Madonsela. According to a report on the News24 site, the report, expected to be officially released this month, is allegedly highly critical of Cele, Mahlangu-Nkabinde and businessman Shabangu. The Protector's report deals with leases in Pretoria and Durban and follows an earlier report which focused on the Pretoria lease. 'Due to the pressures put on me by the new Minister (Mahlangu-Nkabinde) I signed the lease agreement,' Dongwana allegedly told Madonsela. 'If it was not for the pressures put on me, I would never have done so. By this point I was extremely stressed, tired and scared and was concerned for my personal safety and that of my family,' he is quoted as saying. The report was sent to President Jacob Zuma, Mahlangu-Nkabinde, Cele, Shabangu, Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa and Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan, among others, this week, according to the Sunday Times report. Full report on the News24 site According to the Sunday Times , the report says Mahlangu-Nkabinde was guilty of 'improper' conduct and failed 'statesmanship' for going ahead with both leases after two legal opinions found them invalid.

  • The Zuma Moment: Between Tender-Based Capitalists and Radical Economic
    The Zuma Moment: Between Tender-based Capitalists and Radical Economic Transformation Ashwin Desai1 Department of Sociology, University of Johannesburg, Kingsway Campus, Auckland Park, 2006, Johannesburg. The Jacob Zuma Presidency (2009-2017) was dogged by persistent allegations of corruption and the looting of State Owned Enterprises (SOE’s) by those allied to him. It led to allegations of state capture that placed the Gupta family at the centre of this project. These allegations have been highly contested, with Zuma supporters arguing that he has come under attack because of his support for the BRICS alliance (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa), which they hold challenges Western imperial interests. Alongside this are those aligned to the Gupta family, arguing that the real culprits of state capture, both historically and in contemporary South Africa, is White Monopoly Capital (WMC), through its ability to determine macro-economic policy. At the heart of this contest is what has come to be known as tender-based capitalists who sought to use access to SOE’s for the accumulation of capital. This process has been defended on the basis that it has the potential to lead a radical economic transformation (RET) that that can challenge the power of WMC. Others have held that this argument is a mere fig leaf for the looting of state coffers, eroding its capacity for deeper developmental initiatives and fostering a parasitic class. This article that focusses on this debate that entered the heart of the African National Congress (ANC) and threatened to tear it apart takes the form of a conjunctural analysis; conjuncture defined as an amalgam ‘of circumstances, a convergence of events, an intersection of contingencies and necessities, a complex, overdetermined state of affairs-usually 1 E-mail: [email protected] producing a crisis, leading to breaking point, driving to historic crossroads’ (Mowitt, 2015: 125).
