LeMelle, Chairman Jennifer Davis, Executive Director F June 1, 1994 To: Women's Network From: Rachael Kagan, Women's Project Coordinator Re: Women Elected to South African Government At long last I am deliQhted to be able to report to you on the achievements of South Africa's women in the April election. By now I'm sure everyone has heard of the ANC victory and Nelson Mandela's inauguration as the first democratically elected President of South Africa. It is cause for great joy and celebration throughout the world. Indeed, this stage of the struggle has been won. The newly elected Government of National Unity is charged with the dual task of overseeing the transition from apartheid to a non-racial South Africa and writing the new Constitution. But the question: what about the women? has not really been addressed amidst all the news of these historic elections. This mailing provides some initial answers. Enclosed is an article from the South African newspaper, The Sunday Times which announces that after the election, South Africa jumped from 141st place on the list of countries with women in Parliament, to seventh! In fact, South Africa's new government is more representative of women than the U.S. Congress. 106 out of 400 Constituent (National) Assembly members are women. Also included is a partial list of the ANC women now serving -- many of these names will be familiar. It is thrilling that South African women's efforts have won them this victory. Of course, many battles in the fight for true women's equality lie ahead. Another enclosed article addresses some of the early strategies among women MPs to ensure their presence in Parliament means women's lives at the grassroots improve. The Women's Charter, completed just before the election, will soon be examined by the Constituent Assembly as it sits to write the new constitution. Much of the success of the Charter will depend on the ability of women MPs to form a caucus in support of the rights outlined therein, and also on women outside government pressuring their elected officials. This will be an initial concrete test of women's collective political muscle. It is encouraging that Frene Ginwala is now the first woman Speaker of the House. Ginwala, convener of the Women's National Coalition, which coordinated the Women's Charter Campaign, and senior member of the ANC leadership, is a tireless fighter for women's rights and will certainly play a leadership role in the effort to see the Charter adopted into the new constitution. WOMEN ELECTED TO SOUTH AFRICAN GOVERNMENT Elections 26-29 April 1994 chose parties on both national and regional ballots to form the new government.

Shilubane Girlie Pikoli Makhosazana Njobe Compiled by Rachael Kagan, Women's Project Coordinator, The Africa Fund New York, NY USA/ (212) 962-1210 / 1 June 1994 Article on Women Elected to New Parliament from South Africa's Sunday Times, 29 May 1994. by Janet Wilhelm and Diana Streak From being one of the world's most sexist governments our new Parliament with its 106 strong contingent of women, has emerged as one of the world's most progressive. South Africa has moved from 141st place on the list of countries with women in Parliament, to seventh. This leap underlies the commitment by President Nelson Mandela to a non-sexist South Africa. He has repeatedly made it clear that he considers discrimination against women as abhorrent as racism. In September 1993 the Inter-Parliamentary Union, the world organization of parliaments based in Geneva, polled 171 countries. SA was among the 30 countries whose representation was less than three percent -- a slot it shared with countries like Belize, Morocco, Lebanon, Turkey and Yemen. SA is now among the top 10. Top of the list is the Seychelles, which has almost attained equality with women making up 45.8 percent of its parliamentarians. The other countries in the top 10 are: Finland (39 percent), Norway (35.8 percent), Sweden (33.5 percent), Denmark (33 percent), the Netherlands (29.3 percent), Iceland (23.2 percent), Cuba (22.8 percent) Austria (21.3 percent) and China (21 percent). With a jump from 2.7 percent to 26.5 percent, South African women are now better represented that their British and American counterparts. The new profile of the South African Parliament is symbolized by the appointment of Frene Ginwala as Speaker of the House. Yet, despite these gains, the top echelons of our new government remain bastions of male power. In the 30-member cabinet only two ministerial positions are held by women -- Health Minister (Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma) and Public Enterprise Minister (Stella Sigcau). Three women hold deputy minister posts: Winnie Mandela (Arts, Culture, Science and Technology), Thoko Msane (Agriculture) and Sankie Nkondo (Welfare and Population Development). All nine of the provincial premiers are men. Although women are well represented in the provincial parliaments, they are remarkably absent from the regional executive committees. Of the 90 senators, only 16 are women. But even though women have been left out of the upper structures, they are determined that their presence in Parliament will have an impact. Only the Freedom Front (nine seats) and the African Christian Democratic Party (two seats) lack women MPs. The DP has one (out of seven seats), Dene Smuts, and the PAC also has one (out of five seats), Patricia de Lille. The 10 female IFP MPs (out of a party total of 43 seats) have already formed a parliamentary women's caucus. The 10 NP women MPs (out of a party total of 82 seats) were meeting this week to decide on strategy. A day after the opening of Parliament ANC women MPs were already tackling the content of President Mandela's speech and discussing strategy on women's issues, including the possible establishment of a Ministry of Children. Phumzile Ngcuka, spokesman for the ANC's 84-strong women's caucus (out of a party total of 252 seats), said the priority would be to integrate women's issues in the affairs of state and to "make sure women's issues maintain visibility." The ANC women said they were unhappy with the number of women in the cabinet and would lobby to change this. Another priority would be to tackle the civil service, which had been dominated by "white males". Nomatyala Hangana said the caucus would collect CVs and draw up a data base of women so that they could start identifying women who could be directors-general and commissioners.

  • Trekking Outward
    TREKKING OUTWARD A CHRONOLOGY OF MEETINGS BETWEEN SOUTH AFRICANS AND THE ANC IN EXILE 1983–2000 Michael Savage University of Cape Town May 2014 PREFACE In the decade preceding the dramatic February 1990 unbanning of South Africa’s black liberatory movements, many hundreds of concerned South Africans undertook to make contact with exile leaders of these organisations, travelling long distances to hold meetings in Europe or in independent African countries. Some of these “treks”, as they came to be called, were secret while others were highly publicised. The great majority of treks brought together South Africans from within South Africa and exile leaders of the African National Congress, and its close ally the South African Communist Party. Other treks involved meetings with the Pan Africanist Congress, the black consciousness movement, and the remnants of the Non-European Unity Movement in exile. This account focuses solely on the meetings involving the ANC alliance, which after February 1990 played a central role in negotiating with the white government of F.W. de Klerk and his National Party regime to bring about a new democratic order. Without the foundation of understanding established by the treks and thousands of hours of discussion and debate that they entailed, it seems unlikely that South Africa’s transition to democracy could have been as successfully negotiated as it was between 1990 and the first democratic election of April 1994. The following chronology focuses only on the meetings of internally based South Africans with the African National Congress (ANC) when in exile over the period 1983–1990. Well over 1 200 diverse South Africans drawn from a wide range of different groups in the non- governmental sector and cross-cutting political parties, language, educational, religious and community groups went on an outward mission to enter dialogue with the ANC in exile in a search to overcome the escalating conflict inside South Africa.

  • 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.

Van Heerden Co-leader: Dr. R.C. de Jong © University of Pretoria ii SUMMARY A CULTURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THULAMELA HERITAGE SITE. STUDENT: Tshimangadzo Israel Nemaheni STUDY LEADER: Ms M. van Heerden CO-LEADER: Dr. R. C. de Jong DEPARTMENT: Historical and Heritage Studies DEGREE: MA Heritage and Museum Studies-Coursework This mini-thesis serves as an introduction to the drawing up of a Cultural Resource Management (CRM) plan for Thulamela Heritage Site in the Kruger National Park. It is envisaged that this will be a strategy by which Thulamela heritage resources (including natural and cultural elements) will be identified, their significance assessed, and interpretations constructed to guide their conservation and presentation in a manner that is consistent with their availability for public appreciation or enjoyment. Thulamela Project involves the process of locating, assessing, and dealing appropriately with the Thulamela heritage resources which are represented by the physical manifestation of humanity’s interaction with the natural world around the site and surrounding landscape of Thulamela. This thesis will serve as a guideline towards designing a CRM plan for Thulamela Heritage Site that will be practical. Most of the issues here are management plan issues that the KNP should start implementing iii in order to preserve and conserve the site for future generations.

Ngwenya DATE SUBMITTED: November 2005 DECLARATION I declare that this thesis titled, A CRITICAL APPRAISAL OF POLICY ON EDUCATOR POST PROVISIONING IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN KWAZULU- NATAL is my own work and that all the sources that have been used or quoted, have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. ______________________ Inbanathan Naicker Reg. No.: 8116342 November 2005 ii ABSTRACT Historically, educator post provisioning in South African public schools has been a contentious issue. Informed by the apartheid ideology, the staffing of schools was skewed both quantitatively and qualitatively in favour of the white population group. In contrast, the schools catering for the black population had to contend with high learner-educator ratios and poorly qualified educators. With the coming into power of the first democratically elected government in 1994 there was growing optimism that equity, redress and social justice would prevail in all spheres of society, including education. In the education arena there were significant attempts at addressing the inequity that prevailed in terms of educator distribution. This study which is grounded in the field of policy analysis, critically analyses the policy on educator post provisioning in public schools in KwaZulu-Natal in the post apartheid era.
