Legislature (GPL) was established in 1994 in terms of the 1993 Interim Constitution of the Republic of South Africa. The Legislature now exists in terms of section 108 of the 1996 Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (Constitution). The GPL is an autonomous Institution, empowered by the Constitution to make laws, oversee the performance of the provincial Government, promote cooperative governance and carry out public participation for the electorate of the Gauteng Province. Since its establishment, the GPL has focused its energies on building an Institution that gives effect to its constitutional mandate. This has not been a static process. Increasingly, the GPL had to gear itself up to respond to broader developments within the national and provincial environment. The GPL is located in a province characterised by a rapid process of transition, growth and development. South Africa’s democracy has brought with it high expectations from the people of Gauteng, that the vision of a “Better life for all” will become a reality. In this context, there is an increasing expectation that Government should deliver on its promises through effective governance and efficient service delivery. In line with this expectation, it is the strategic choice of the GPL to be more visible and active in its role as the voice of the people. The GPL has chosen to assert its role as a key institution of democracy. To achieve this, it has to, amongst other tasks: • Deliver on its constitutional mandate; • Position itself as the voice of the people; • Ensure that the public understands its roles and functions; • Harness, coordinate and motivate its internal resources; and • Report and communicate its achievements to the people of Gauteng. In view of the above, the GPL has accelerated its political mandate of mobilising social forces around public participation, whilst also transforming itself into an agent of change, and representing a democratic Institution ready to discharge its key role in social transformation. This was achieved by encouraging public participation in the core activities of the GPL, thus soliciting the views of the electorate and ultimately converting this vision into reality. Youth Parliament GAUTENG PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE 9 ANNUAL REPORT 2014/15 YOUR VIEW ~ OUR VISION Vision Statement A modern and transformative Legislature that fosters public pride and confidence in democracy and enhances service delivery to the people of Gauteng Mission Statement In observing our constitutional obligations, the GPL is: • A modern and dynamic African Legislature of the 21st Century; • A caring, responsive, activist and transformative Legislature; • Reflects

  • Eff Statement on Second National Peoples Assembly, Parliament Deployments and Other Political Issues
    EFF STATEMENT ON SECOND NATIONAL PEOPLES ASSEMBLY, PARLIAMENT DEPLOYMENTS AND OTHER POLITICAL ISSUES Tuesday, 02 July, 2019 NATIONAL PEOPLE’S ASSEMBLY At its Special Meeting convened on the 1st of July, 2019, the Central Command Team resolved that the EFF Second National People’s Assembly will be convened on the 13 - 16 December, 2019 at the Expo Centre, Nasrec under the theme “Consolidating the Ground Towards Socialist Power”. The National People’s Assembly is an elective conference of the EFF, the highest decision-making body and, according to the EFF Constitution, takes place every five years. Accordingly, the CCT has adopted guidelines that pave the path towards the election of delegates from branches, including in regions, and provinces. These will be published on the EFF website for easy access. Within these guidelines are strict rules and deadlines for election of delegates, audit of branches, as well as conduct of all fighters and commissars on lobbying for leadership positions. Members and leaders of the EFF are therefore called upon to internalise these guidelines and participate in the lead up to this assembly with the highest discipline and determination. The Discussion Documents will also be published on the EFF website and they will be sent to branches, so that branches are not only ceased with matters of leadership but they also discuss the state of the nation in South Africa through the Discussion Documents of the EFF and provide what could be a sustainable solution to the challenges that are confronting the poor masses of our people on the ground. PARLIAMENT COMMITTEE DEPLOYMENTS Post 2019 General Elections, the EFF increased its seats from 31 to 53 Members of Parliament (MPs), with 44 in the National Assembly (NA) and 9 in the National Council of Provinces (NCOP).

  • 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.

  • Get to Know Gauteng Health MEC Dr Bandile Masuku – the Citizen 30 May 2019
    Get to know Gauteng Health MEC Dr Bandile Masuku – The Citizen 30 May 2019 14 Masuku takes over from MEC Dr Gwen Ramokgopa, who was brought in after the Life Esidimeni tragedy in 2016. The recently appointed Gauteng Member of the Executive Committee (MEC) for Health Dr Bandile Masuku has a mammoth task ahead of him as he plans to win back the confidence of the province’s residents and the department’s entire staff complement. Masuku, along with the rest of the province’s executive team, were sworn in Parktown on Thursday. Gauteng has the largest health system among all provinces which services the highest number of people. Masuku told Health-e News that improving the experience of patients at public health facilities is his top priority. “[Patient experience] relates to waiting times in terms of [how long] you queue before you’re seen by a doctor, waiting to get medicine and treatment, and also in terms of waiting for surgical procedures.” He believes the confidence and happiness of health workers are integral in ensuring that patients are given the best level of care. Masuku said the staff morale in all clinics and hospitals — and in the department — is very low. Tackling the staff shortages in health facilities and resolving the issue of salaries are at the top of his to-do list. “We want the department to be patient-centred and it must be led by physicians and clinicians. Working with community organisations becomes important for us to change the system,” he explained. “The department’s responsibility is to give a platform for health workers and patients in order to improve and change its fortunes.” Happy workers mean happy patients Masuku said his experience of working in the public sector makes him the right person for the job.

  • Media Statement on the Appointment of a New Gauteng MEC for Health
    Media Statement: TAC welcome permanent appointment of MEC for Health and list key areas of concern Johannesburg, 2 December 2020 – The Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) welcomes the Gauteng Premier David Makhura’s appointment of a new permanent Member of the Executive Council (MEC) for Health in the province today. According to the Premier Dr. Nomathemba Mokgethi, “is not new to the health sector and her knowledge, experience and qualifications makes her a strong candidate to lead the health portfolio. Her vast experience as a seasoned administrator is an added advantage in steering the department to good performance.” We have noted on multiple occasions that the period since the implementation of the lockdown has been filled with turmoil since Dr Bandile Masuku vacated the position amidst corruption allegations. We extend our thanks to the MEC for Jacob Mamabolo who acted during this extraordinary period. We acknowledge that it must not have been easy bringing stability to the Health portfolio while also working as the MEC for Transport. Tough job ahead for her We note that the province is lagging behind in the HIV and TB response, having only achieved 89%-66%-88% of the 90-90-90 targets by the end of 20191. These numbers were inimically affected by COVID-19. Furthermore, the Ritshidze State of Gauteng report highlights that the antiretroviral treatment programme has made very little gains. While 160, 247 people tested HIV positive in PEPFAR priority districts in the province until the end of quarter three of the PEPFAR year - June 2020 - only 82% - 131, 070 – were initiated on treatment.
