The CHIEF WHIP OF THE MAJORITY PARTY moved: That the House suspends Rule 290(2)(a), which provides inter alia that the debate on the Second Reading of a Bill may not commence before at least three working days have elapsed since the committee’s report was tabled for the purposes of conducting the Second Reading debate today on the Adjustment Appropriation Bill and the Special Appropriation Bill. I so move House Chair. Declarations of Vote: UNREVISED HANSARD NATIONAL ASSEMBLY WEDNESDAY, 28 NOVEMBER 2018 Page: 2 Mr M WATERS: Chairperson, the wavering of the three day rule is a direct consequence of us having three months holiday from this Parliament. We become a sausage factory. We have pressurised all the committees to produce legislation at record speed. Yesterday in the Rules committee, we had a report from the high level panel whereby one of their concerns for Parliament was that we do not have proper public participation when dealing with legislation. We use it as window dressing. We do not take the inputs of the public seriously and this is one further example of how we are just using Parliament as a sausage machine. The DA will not be supporting this motion. Thank you. [Applause.] Question put. Motion agreed to (Democratic Alliance dissenting). The CHIEF WHIP OF THE MAJORITY PARTY: House Chairperson, I move with due respect the precedence be given to Third Order and Fourth Order as they appear on the Order Paper; which in simple language means that we will start our business today with Third UNREVISED HANSARD NATIONAL ASSEMBLY WEDNESDAY, 28 NOVEMBER 2018 Page: 3 Order and Forth Order and if so agreed; and then revert back to First Order and Second Order.

  • Developmental Local Government As a Catalyst Or an Impediment Towards a South African Developmental State
    Developmental local government as a catalyst or an impediment towards a South African developmental state by DAVID MATHEAKUENA MOHALE Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF LITERATURE AND PHILOSOPHY in the School DEVELOPMENT STUDIES at the University of South Africa PROMOTER: PROFESSOR VUSI GUMEDE June 2017 i DECLARATION I, David Matheakuena Mohale, declare that this research report – Developmental local government as a catalyst or an impediment towards a South African developmental state - is my own unaided work. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination at this or any other university. All the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. ............................................ David Matheakuena Mohale 20 June 2017 ii SUMMARY South African authorities formalised their goal to pursue a developmental state with the adoption of the National Development Plan (NDP) in 2012. It is clear from the reading of the NDP that the authorities are convinced that the developmental state approach is a cause for development. The declaration to construct a developmental state is interesting at best or bizarre at worst in that developmental states are often identified by assessing their (economic) performance over a period. They hardly sought out to intentionally build developmental states. The South African governance system has implications for a quest to construct a developmental state. Whereas the literature on East Asian countries tends to focus on the role of central governments in economic development, the South African governance places a huge emphasis on cooperative governance between the three spheres of government.

  • End May Newsletter
    End May 2019 Issue No.05 1. PRINCIPAL’S CORNER In announcing the new Free State Executive Council of the 6th demo- cratic dispensation, Honourable Premier Sefora “Sisi” Ntombela stated that, “The struggle for radical socio-economic change is the cornerstone of our mandate, and we shall ensure that the visions contained in the Freedom Charter are realised. We are concerned about the high levels of unemployment, especially amongst the youth. Statistics show that almost three hundred thousand youth are unemployed in Free State. This represents 48% of the entire unemployed population”. Undoubtedly, this new Executive Council is seized with the responsibility of uplifting many of our youths and women out of the bondage of unemployment, inequality and poverty. Through sport, arts, culture and recreation, we shall create an environ- ment that is abundant with opportunities for all the people of the Free State to explore their talents and express their innovations. The Department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation (DSACR) is funda- mentally seeking to “Champion Social Transformation” as stated in its vision statement. In doing so, we commit to accelerating sport tourism and unlocking all economic opportunities within the arts and culture sector. We are guided by the need to build a modern developmental state that has the means to drive economic and social transformation, to embrace innovation and to direct effort and resources towards where they will have the greatest impact. With this in mind, it is also befitting to commend the ruling party for appointing a significant number of young people into the 6th Executive Council.

Critical trade-offs will likely become more apparent in 2020: though government is unwilling to consider meaningful job cuts at, or direct privatisation of, Eskom, it is nonetheless pushing forward with the utility’s unbundling and is evidently intent on supporting the deregulation of the energy sector, thus enabling far stronger private sector participation in electricity generation in order to alleviate the damaging effects of load-shedding on growth and confidence.

Honourable speaker, this budget speech is presented few weeks after hotly contested electoral campaigns. Our people in their overwhelming majority, adhered to the ANC’s invitation to grow South Africa together with them. They renewed the ANC’s mandate for the next five years, through a decisive majority. Speaker, our people did not do so without giving us a clear mandate. Through our interactions with them, when we knocked on their doors, they told us their expectations and what the 6th administration of the country should do to better their lives, reduce poverty and inequality. 1 | P a g e We therefore reaffirm and declare to the people of Dihlabeng that we heard them. This municipality’s programme of development is aligned to the clear mandate we received from the people to deliver sustainable services. Our people through their votes rejected false and misleading various research institutions, which alarmed us to the fact that the ANC is in trouble. They defended their organisation at the polls and endorsed the ANC to continue constructing a better country for all.
