The point of departure for this Report is a simple question. Why, if the origins of economic dualism are rooted in the system of heap, forced, migrant labour introduced with the beginnings of the mining industry and reinforced during apartheid, does dualism persist
under democracy when all the relevant laws and many of the practices of the past have been abolished? In addressing this question...

We know that the structures of families and of households have changed in recent decades and that this has had a profound affect on public policy planning and service delivery in South Africa. The institution of the family interfaces with other social institutions in any society, therefore stands to reason that the political, social and economic transformations resulting through colonialism and...

Despite a strong emphasis on teacher education and development in post-apartheid South Africa, statistics show a low retention of beginner teachers in the teaching profession. This trend has serious implications for learner outcomes, given the contribution teachers can and should make to learner achievement.

|
The South African local government sphere has seen vast changes since 1990. During this tumultuous periods, a phase of community-based resistance was followed by a complete redesign of local government. The heady period of constitutional negotiations (1992-1996) has been followed by a more businesslike concern with municipal delivery, especially to address questions of poverty, infrastructure...

Ryan Carrier (1999), reflecting on policing in South Africa, has pointed out that there may be different types of order that are not necessarily mutually exclusive: he argues that the type of order that the state seeks to guarantee may be different from the type of order that businesses, affluent suburbs, townships and corporations wish to establish or preserve. He concludes by saying that diff...

This article discusses recent developments in South African politics from the perspective of a paradox, even a contradiction, inherent in the democratic project itself. Democracy requires that the people, the source of democratic authority, are
considered purely as an ideal. This is precisely what is at work in the notion of 'human rights', for example. The specific qualities and character of ...

It is now familiar that under Thabo Mbeki the democratic project experienced several major reversals. While holding on to the formal constitutional architecture, the time of Thabo Mbeki is said to have been associated with the hollowing-out of parliament, the demobilization of civil-society and even the erosion of the separation of powers.

There is a welcome conversation beginning to emerge about race and racism in South Africa. It comes, in part, after several undeniable events of white racism in the public domain which have revealed the shaky legs of South Africa's political settlement. It concerns the status of white racism in South African society.

The immediate post-apartheid period saw both the assertion of women as equal partners in all aspects of daily life and, on the one hand, increasing social and familial violence against women and girls as well as, on the other, continuing high levels of unemployment and poverty amongst wo...

Theoretical issues have been largely neglected in the public debate, and the authors have focused on the policy issues that we believe require urgent attention if South Africa is to construct a state that can be regarded as developmental.

This is rooted in the soil of an essentially unchanged land system. Land reform is oriented towards 'deracialising' the commercial farming sector through market-based redistribution, creating a modest opening for black farmers. The overwhelming result has be...

|
The defeat of Apartheid in 1994 liberated not only South Africa's internal political processes but also its economic relations with neighbouring countries in the Southern African Development Community (SADC). A key outcome was the surge of South
African capital northward after years of dampened large scale investment because of legal sanction and more informal regulation. By the early 2000s, S...

South African multinationals in Southern Africa are opening new possibilities for regional trade unionism. With South Africa's democratization in the 1990s, pent-up capital in South Africa expanded northwards into Southern Africa and beyond. Their impact has been significant. While governments have welcomed foreign investment, workers have welcomed their new workplaces with a mixture of optimis...

The author shows that a new middle class social status and power in the workplace is complicated by popular notions of how class and race intersect, both among fellow managers and how they are viewed by the primarily black workforces. Second, the author shows that the class position of the emerging African corporate middle class is closely linked to the communities that they come from and is in...

The state of the labour market in South African today is a reflection of the crippling legacies of the apartheid years and, as such, is a major challenge confronting the government. Wherever one looks in the workplace that sector's HRD is characterised by racial inequalities. There are pockets of progress, but this progress has been miniscule in relation to the magnitude of the inequities inh...

In the first ten years of democracy, urban policy in South Africa has been driven by national government in an attempt, inter alia, to accelerate the mass delivery of basic services at a local level. But, over the past five years the increasingly robust role and influence of cities in setting the urban agenda is, in effect, leading urban policy.

This book is one of the first to use the Geographic Information System (GIS) to outline government spending on infrastructure development in South Africa. Since financial resources for development are scarce, the little that is available should be shared and distributed as equitably and effective as possible, with particular attention given to the poorest areas in South Africa. This calls for...

|
There are two societies in South Africa, one similar to those found in very highly developed economies, and the other similar to underdeveloped countries. This two-tiered economy poses challenges when planning development. Can those living in the underdeveloped part of South Africa be integrates into the highly developed part of the economy? To answer this question it is important to clarify...

In this chapter we review the changing responses of the governments of South Africa, during and after apartheid. The focus is on the post-apartheid government, and particularly the debates and disputes which have shaped the management of the epidemic of this country.

Nelson Mandela's government inherited one of the most inequitable health care systems in the world. Yet under the inspiring leadership of the new president, remarkable strides were made to bring to life the ANC's election promise of "health for all".

The real beneficiaries of the dramatic change we have witnesses in South African are our children. The people who graduate today were only 10 years old in 1994. They were growing up increasingly wide-eyed at the opportunities that await them. Significantly they are largely uncorrupted by apartheid memories, untained by racial issues and proud to be South African. They are our future.

|
The focus of this paper is primarily the broad shifts that have taken place on the role of traditional leaders since the advent of democratic rule in 1994. These shifts indicate that while government was initially ambivalent about traditional leadership, it has grown to embrace the idea of integration of traditional leadership into the constitutional system. The paper begins by looking at the c...

traditional leadership in South Africa is an example of the tension that exists between democracy and human rights as defined in Eurocentric terms, on the one hand, and social group rights as theoretically enshrined in the South African constitution, on the other hand. The aim of this paper is to unpack these theoretical tensions by referring to current analysis of traditional leadership into ...

|
Traditional leadership is often judged as an anomaly within a democratic system of governance. It lives in tension with the land-reform programme, and the hereditary nature of its top position (ubukhosi) seems to discriminate against women. Yet, people who live under this system do not seem to protest forcefully against it. Pearl Sithole explains the resilience of traditional leadership in Sout...

Understanding the transformation of South African institutions requires taking into account the ways in which category maintenance and transgression operate in post-apartheid South Africa. Despite the official ideology of the post-apartheid government being one of no racialism, there are still incongruent messages about identity from all quarters, which learners have to negotiate. We consider h...

Since its transition to democracy in 1994, South Africa has become increasingly drawn into the resolution of conflicts and the promotion of peace and stability on the wider African continent. This has followed from the high reputation of its own negotiated settlement as a model for other conflict torn countries to emulate, the iconic status of Nelson Mandela as a master of reconciliation and fo...

Under apartheid, the movement and settlement of the majority black people in South Africa was highly constrained. A complex web of policies attempted to retain large parts of the black population within 'homeland' areas reserved for their occupation, and to limit their movement to the cities. These homeland areas however were mainly spatially marginal and poor thus policies were unable to cont...

This paper is an analysis of South Africa's public service improvement strategies since 1994. It first describes the historical factors that underpinned South Africa's service delivery initiatives before 1994. It is argued that the pre-1994 public service sector was racialised and highly politicised, as opposed to being people-centred and service delivery oriented. The transition to democracy i...

South Africa under Mandela stood out as a global beacon for the progressive values of national unity and so...

South Africa is a nation that has actively sought to 'punch above its weight' in world affairs, relative to its actual size and strategic importance. This could be partially because of the increasing 'soft power' that South Africa is projecting globally.

A major consequence of South Africa's strong economic growth since the democratic dispensation of 1994 is the rapid increase in domestic demand for oil energy. With small amounts of proven oil reserves, the rise in oil demand as an energy source has resulted in South Africa's growing dependence on external sources for its domestic crude oil needs. High oil prices, instability in major oil produ...

In this powerful and accessible analysis, Thembisa Waetjen explores how gender structured the mobilisation of Zulu nationalism as anti-apartheid efforts gained momentum in South Africa in the 1980s, as well as the dilemma of feminist politics when culture and gender compete as categories of loyalty and identification. It also functions as a study of patriarchy, from a traditional Zulu context t...

In this article we respond to the perceived crisis in humanities education in South Africa which posits firstly that large numbers of students are leaving this field and that secondly, the value of a humanities education has declined. To do this we track the enrolments and graduation rates in humanities at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels between 1999-2007. We disaggregate the data us...
