    Consensus A PUBLICATION OF THE FW DE KLERK FOUNDATION The FW de Klerk Foundation Volume 5, Issue 2 2nd Quarter /July 2008 FW addresses threats to the National Accord Africa of 2008 – pressures which give rise to serious concerns. Threats to kill Firstly, I am deeply concerned by the statements recently made by Julius Malema and Zwelinzima Vavi that they are prepared to kill in their efforts to support Mr. Jacob Zuma. These statements cannot be dismissed as mere rhetoric and nor can there be any debate regarding their meaning. Neither can they be viewed as being inconsequential - because they have been made by leaders of two of the main formations in the ruling alliance. They show a fundamental disregard for the values enshrined in our constitution which establishes a Mr. FW de Klerk society based on law - where all disputes are resolved by constitutional means and in accordance with the law.

    The Guptas, the Public Protector's Report and Capital Accumulation In

    The Guptas, the Public Protector’s Report and Capital Accumulation in South Africa Ashwin Desai Goolam Vahed Abstract The relationship between South African President Jacob Zuma and his family, and the Guptas, possibly the richest family of Indian origin at present in South Africa, has made persistent national and increasingly international headlines in the media over the past few years. The Gupta family, who arrived in South Africa from India just prior to the country’s first non-racial democratic elec- tions in 1994, are accused of colluding with Zuma in the removal and appoint- ment of government ministers, as well as the directors of State-Owned Enter- prises (SOEs) in order to secure lucrative state contracts. This article examines the allegedly corrupt relationship between the Zumas and the Guptas to probe key issues in post-apartheid South African society: corruption, state capture, inequality, class formation, Black Economic Empowerment, and White Mono- poly Capital. It argues that corruption has negative consequences such as creat- ing despondency amongst the populace leading to capital flight and creating the possibilities for state capture as well as further deepening inequality. Keywords: Apartheid, Gupta, Zuma, Black Economic Empowerment, White Monopoly Capital, Social Cohesion The lexicon of South African English has been constantly transformed by the inclusion of words from the Afrikaans language, and phrases from the Indian sub- continent, as well as by some words and phrases from local African languages.

    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.

While the relief measures are a small step in the right direction, they are insufficient to meet the current humanitarian crisis under lockdown conditions. Many poor families are going hungry. The situation remains desperate with many queueing for food parcels. The threat of starvation or even the possibility of death from hunger, rather than from the coronavirus, for many people is real.1 It is within this context that we argue that the social grant relief measures remain inadequate. COVID-19 has underscored the critical role of adequate investments in public health, comprehensive social protection programmes, dignified and decent work, and access to food, water, sanitations systems and housing.

    Jonas Lied About Finance Minister Offer €“ Ajay Gupta

    Legalbrief | your legal news hub Thursday 30 September 2021 Jonas lied about Finance Minister offer – Ajay Gupta The battle between the Gupta family and Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan over the autonomy of SA's banks intensified in documents lodged in the Gauteng High Court (Pretoria) on Friday, notes Legalbrief. In papers responding to Gordhan’s application for a declaratory order that he not be allowed to intervene in a dispute between the Gupta family and the banks, which closed their company accounts last year citing reputational risk, Ajay Gupta accused Deputy Finance Minister Mcebici Jonas of lying about being offered a bribe and the job of Finance Minister at a meeting at the family’s house in Saxonwold, Johannesburg. A BusinessLIVE report notes the alleged incident took place in October 2015, two months before President Jacob Zuma fired then Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene. Gupta said Jonas invented the meeting to create media hype for political gain. ‘The fact of the matter is that Mr Jonas is, with respect, blatantly dishonest when he suggests that he met with me or that I attended a meeting with him,’ Gupta said in his affidavit. ‘Let me … clearly and unambiguously state under oath that I have never met Mr Mcebisi Jonas, not as alleged or at all,’ he said. ‘I can honestly say that I have not spoken a single word to him.’ Gupta also said he was disturbed that Gordhan had referred to the alleged incident in his court filings as fact, ‘without even attempting to obtain a confirmatory affidavit from his deputy, who is in all likelihood occupying an office right next to him’.
