In addition, there has been a this system many parties exist with equal significant increase in parties contesting at the chances of becoming governing parties, either local level.

  • Opposition Party Mobilization in South Africa's Dominant
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Eroding Dominance from Below: Opposition Party Mobilization in South Africa’s Dominant Party System A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Safia Abukar Farole 2019 © Copyright by Safia Abukar Farole 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Eroding Dominance from Below: Opposition Party Mobilization in South Africa’s Dominant Party System by Safia Abukar Farole Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Kathleen Bawn, Chair In countries ruled by a single party for a long period of time, how does political opposition to the ruling party grow? In this dissertation, I study the growth in support for the Democratic Alliance (DA) party, which is the largest opposition party in South Africa. South Africa is a case of democratic dominant party rule, a party system in which fair but uncompetitive elections are held. I argue that opposition party growth in dominant party systems is explained by the strategies that opposition parties adopt in local government and the factors that shape political competition in local politics. I argue that opposition parties can use time spent in local government to expand beyond their base by delivering services effectively and outperforming the ruling party. I also argue that performance in subnational political office helps opposition parties build a reputation for good governance, which is appealing to ruling party ii. supporters who are looking for an alternative. Finally, I argue that opposition parties use candidate nominations for local elections as a means to appeal to constituents that are vital to the ruling party’s coalition.

  • 2001 Lecture
    THE JAMES BACKHOUSE LECTURE 2001 RECONCILING OPPOSITES: REFLECTIONS ON PEACEMAKING IN SOUTH AFRICA Hendrik W van der Merwe The James Backhouse Lectures The lectures were instituted by Australia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) on the its establishment of that Yearly Meeting in 1964. James Backhouse and his companion, George Washington Walker were English Friends who visited Australia from 1832 to 1838. They travelled widely, but spent most of their time in Tasmania. It was through their visit that Quaker Meetings were first established in Australia. Coming to Australia under a concern for the conditions of convicts, the two men had access to people with authority in the young colonies, and with influence in Britain, both in Parliament and in the social reform movement. In meticulous reports and personal letters, they made practical suggestions and urged legislative action on penal reform, on the rum trade, and on land rights and the treatment of Aborigines. James Backhouse was a general naturalist and a botanist. He made careful observations and published full accounts of what he saw, in addition to encouraging Friends in the colonies and following the deep concern that had brought him to Australia. Australian Friends hope that this series of Lectures will bring fresh insights into the Truth, and speak to the needs and aspirations of Australian Quakerism. This particular lecture was delivered in Melbourne on 8 January 2001, during the annual meeting of the Society. Colin Wendell-Smith Presiding Clerk Australia Yearly Meeting © Copyright 2001 by the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Australia Incorporated.

  • Wolwerivier Social Audit Report PART A: Introduction to Social Audits
    Wolwerivier Social Audit Report PART A: Introduction to Social Audits 3 2 What is a social audit? A social audit is a community-led process of reviewing of crucial documents to determine whether the public expenditure and service delivery outcomes reported by the government really reflect the public money spent and the services received by the community. Members of the community collectively participate in a process of verifying government (or private company) documents by comparing them with the realities on the ground and the experiences of the community. Evidence collected during the audit is then reported to the responsible authorities at a public meeting. Community testimony, knowledge, and experience are a legitimate and central part of this evidence. Government documents may include budgets and reported expenditure, tenders or contracts, invoices and receipts, as well as supporting laws, reports, policies, plans, or norms and standards. A social audit provides a way to build effective and meaningful public participation in poor and working class communities by providing a means for the community to engage with the governance processes that affect their lives. Social audits empower communities to gather and legitimise evidence of their experience of service delivery, and through this process enables them to claim and realise their constitutional rights to democratic participation and accountable government. Social audits build community power, deepening the culture of participatory democracy and public deliberation. They provide an opportunity for poor and working class peope to be heard, and a space for people who have been excluded and discriminated against to achieve a measure of justice and hold government to account.

  • Die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Kiesstelsel - ‟N Kritiese Ontleding En Alternatiewe
    Die Suid-Afrikaanse nasionale kiesstelsel - ‟n Kritiese ontleding en alternatiewe PJ GROENEWALD Studentenommer: 10247696 Proefskrif voorgelê vir die graad Philosophiae Doctor in Politieke Studies aan die Potchefstroomkampus van die Noordwes-Universiteit Promotor: Prof A Duvenhage April 2013 OPSOMMING Die Republiek van Suid-Afrika het in 1994 ʼn nuwe grondwetlike bedeling betree. As deel van hierdie nuwe grondwetlike bedeling is ʼn nuwe kiesstelsel, naamlik die geslotelys- proporsioneel verteenwoordigende kiesstelsel aanvaar. Hierdie kiesstelsel is aanvaar vir verkiesings op nasionale vlak van verteenwoordigers vir die Nasionale Vergadering en hou bepaalde voor- en nadele in. Sommige politieke wetenskaplikes, politieke partye en meningsvormers is van mening dat hierdie kiesstelsel meebring dat daar gebrekkige kontak is tussen die verteenwoordigers in die Nasionale Vergadering (parlement) en die kiesers. Die kritici is ook van mening dat partyleiers te veel mag binne hierdie kiesstelsel verkry deurdat die partye die kandidate op kandidaatlyste aanwys. In verkiesings stem kiesers vir bepaalde politieke partye en het dus nie ʼn keuse ten opsigte van wie hulle verteenwoordigers is nie. Die gevolg is dat Suid-Afrika aan die verteenwoordigende aspek van demokrasie voldoen, maar in gebreke bly wat betref verantwoording deur verteenwoordigers aan die kiesers. Die legitimiteit van die parlement word ook hierdeur aangetas. Die doel van hierdie studie is om die Suid-Afrikaanse kiesstelsel te ontleed en die funksionering daarvan op nasionale vlak te ondersoek. In die ontleding word bepaal in watter mate die Suid-Afrikaanse kiesstelsel aan die kriteria voldoen wat gestel word vir ʼn kiesstelsel om legitimiteit aan die parlement en ʼn volhoubaar verteenwoordigende demokrasie en verantwoordbare regering op die langtermyn in Suid-Afrika te verseker.
