  • South Africa's Anti-Corruption Bodies
    Protecting the public or politically compromised? South Africa’s anti-corruption bodies Judith February The National Prosecuting Authority and the Public Protector were intended to operate in the interests of the law and good governance but have they, in fact, fulfilled this role? This report examines how the two institutions have operated in the country’s politically charged environment. With South Africa’s president given the authority to appoint key personnel, and with a political drive to do so, the two bodies have at times become embroiled in political intrigues and have been beholden to political interests.

  • IMPEDIMENTS in the PROMOTION of the RIGHT to GENDER EQUALITY in POST- APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA by NOMTHANDAZO PATIENCE NTLAMA Subm
    IMPEDIMENTS IN THE PROMOTION OF THE RIGHT TO GENDER EQUALITY IN POST- APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA by NOMTHANDAZO PATIENCE NTLAMA submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of: DOCTOR OF LAWS at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROF. A E A M THOMASHAUSEN JUNE 2010 Student number: 43205321 I declare that ‘IMPEDIMENTS IN THE PROMOTION OF THE RIGHT TO GENDER EQUALITY IN POST-APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA’ is my own work and that all sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. SIGNATURE: MS NP NTLAMA Date: June 2010 i ABSTRACT The adoption of the 1996 Constitution in recognition of the historic imbalances that South Africa inherited from its past, affirms the commitment to the promotion of human rights including the right to equality. The emphasis on the right to equality in the Constitution and other related laws discussed in the study represents a guarantee for both men and women the right to equal treatment and benefit of the law. The point of departure is based on the premise that views the law as an instrument that has the potential to effect social change. The primary purpose is to determine various factors that are an impediment to the significance of the law for the promotion of the right to gender equality. The objective is to establish with sufficient certainty the substantive conception of the right to gender equality in post-apartheid South Africa. This dissertation examines and provides a brief overview of the development and the intersection of the principles of non-discrimination at the international and regional spheres and their influence in broadening the scope for enforcement of gender equality in South Africa.

It is always an honour to open a new parliamentary session, particularly at the start of a new administration. It is my privilege today to launch the Provincial Strategic Plan (PSP): 2014-2019, as the law requires, setting out our vision and strategic priorities for our second term in office. Any honest observer would accept that we made good progress during our first term towards achieving a society in which people are able to use their freedom to improve their lives, despite the many problems we face. We still have a long way to go to achieve our vision 2040 of a highly skilled, innovation driven, resource efficient, connected, high opportunity society for all. I am not going to spend time telling “good news” stories from our previous term. Most speak for themselves. It is a pity that our opposition is only intent on searching for bad news.
