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. -

Living History – the Story of Adderley Street's Flower
LIVING HISTORY – THE STORY OF ADDERLEY STREET’S FLOWER SELLERS Lizette Rabe Department of Journalism, Stellenbosch University, Stellenbosch 7602 Lewende geskiedenis – die verhaal van Adderleystraat se blommeverkopers Kaapstad is waarskynlik sinoniem met Tafelberg. Maar een van die letterlik kleurryke tonele aan die voet van dié berg is waarskynlik eweneens sinoniem met die stad: Adderleystraat se “beroemde” blommeverkopers. Tog word hulle al minder, hoewel hulle deel van Kaapstad se lewende geskiedenis is en letterlik tot die Moederstad se kleurryke lewe bygedra het en ’n toerismebaken is. Waar kom hulle vandaan, en belangrik, wat is hulle toekoms? Dié beskrywende artikel binne die paradigma van mikrogeskiedenis is sover bekend ’n eerste sosiaal-wetenskaplike verkenning van die geskiedenis van dié unieke groep Kapenaars, die oorsprong van die blommemark en sy kleurryke blommenalatenskap. Sleutelwoorde: Adderleystraat; blommemark; blommeverkopers; Kaapstad; kultuurgeskiedenis; snyblomme; toerisme; veldblomme. Cape Town is probably synonymous with Table Mountain. But one of the colourful scenes at the foot of the mountain may also be described as synonymous with the city: Adderley Street’s “famous” fl ower market. Yet, although the fl ower sellers are part of Cape Town’s living history, a beacon for tourists, and literally contributes to the Mother City’s vibrant and colourful life, they represent a dying breed. Where do they come from, and more importantly, what is their future? This descriptive article within the paradigm of microhistory is, thus far known, a fi rst social scientifi c exploration of the history of this unique group of Capetonians, the origins of the fl ower market, and its fl ower legacy. -
MSDF 2019 Annexure a IMPLEMENTATION
MERAFONG CITY MUNICIPAL SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK 2019 ANNEXURE A IMPLEMENTATION PLAN CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK The Capital Expenditure Framework (CEF) as a component of the Municipal Spatial Development Framework (MSDF) is a requirement in terms of Section 21(n) of the Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act, 2013. The intention of the Capital Investment Framework (CIF) is to close the gap between the spatial strategy and implementation on the ground. This is to be achieved using the spatial strategy and the detail provided in the Municipal Spatial Development Framework as the basis upon which other sector plans can be built, thus ensuring integration through a shared platform. A Capital Expenditure Framework has 4 key components namely spatial alignment, quantification of growth, technical assessment and financial alignment. This is the first attempt at an improved Capital Expenditure Framework and whilst the spatial component has been completed satisfactorily, the financial and infrastructure components are not at a satisfactory level. The municipality strives to adopt the new Integrated Urban Development Grant (IUDG) and as such the infrastructure and financial components will have to be added in coming years. This attempt is seen as a base to start from and expand upon. Many of the calculations and information available has not been included and some of it, such as the human settlement calculations are included in other parts of the MSDF. The municipality has a very difficult task of balancing its budget between the needs of social development, economic development and urban efficiency. The needs of the present must also be weighed against sustainability and viability in the future. -
