Mzwandile Masina

The 2016 local government elections marked a turning point in South Africa’s history. While coalition governments had existed prior, the loss of political power by the African National Congress in the City of Johannesburg, the City of Tshwane, Nelson Mandela Bay Metro and the City of Ekurhuleni, where the party maintained plurality but had to govern through a coalition, was unprecedented. It signalled a new era of diminished hegemony for the ANC and the end of the dominant-party system that had defined South Africa’s politics since the dawn of democracy. And while these coalition governments were characterised by institutional instability and systematic collapse, they set parameters for what is likely the future of governance in the country. In Future Realities of Coalition Governments in South Africa, City of Ekurhuleni Executive Mayor, Mzwandile Masina, investigates the socio-economic and political factors that led to the ANC’s haemorrhaging of electoral support. Coalition experiences across the metros, district and local municipalities, as well as case studies across the SADC region are explored. Through empirical evidence, the study seeks to make sense of how government practitioners and the electorate experience coalition governments. The salient question, and perhaps one of the most important of our time, is asked: Are coalitions the future of governance in South Africa?

Mzwandile Masina is the Executive Mayor of the City of Ekurhuleni and the ANC Ekurhuleni Regional Chairperson. He was formerly the Deputy Minister of the Department of Trade and Industry, where he had previously worked as the Director: Business Development and Customer Services. In 2012 he was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of the Gauteng Film Commission. Prior to that, he was Chief Operations Officer at the Gauteng Department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation. He has worked for Ntsika Enterprise Promotion Agency as Programme Manager responsible for Targeted Groups and Uthingo Management as General Manager: Empowerment. Masina studied at the University of the Witwatersrand School for Public and Development Management as well as the University of Pretoria where he graduated with a Master’s degree specialising in Entrepreneurship. He has attained numerous local short executive and development programmes where he gained knowledge and insight into various business management practices. He served as the General Secretary of the South African Youth Development Programme (SAYDEP) where he was responsible for policy input during the formation of the National Youth Commission.

The subject of the politics of knowledge production is as old as knowledge itself and remains hotly contested, especially among scholars. Among others, Mokoko Sebola, Tawanda Nyawasha and Molefi Asante have recently made controversial contributions on this subject in relation to Africa in general and South Africa in particular. In this book the author draws from an Afrocentric paradigm to present an alternative and refreshing perspective on the politics of higher education, scholarship and ethics in Africa. While the book draws heavily from the

18

South African experience, it also offers lessons for Africa, the black world and the global south. It begins with an extended critique of Sebola’s contribution on the subject and then synthesizes his views with the Nyawasha-Asante debate on the same subject. While the book’s point of departure is to draw attention to the limitations of the works of the aforementioned scholars; it raises the discourse by switching from an individual to systems level of analysis.

Kgothatso B. Shai is an Associate Professor and Head of Cultural & Political Studies at the University of Limpopo in South Africa. He was educated at the Universities of Venda and Limpopo, South Africa, where he received a PhD in International Politics. He has published widely in many peer-reviewed national and international journals. His special research interest is on Afrocentric and protest scholarship.

For many years, supply chains in South Africa have been crucified in having being unsuccessful in achieving the mandate it was implemented for, namely promotion of principles of good governance through enhanced processes as well as achieving sound customer service. All over the world, outcries have emerged wherein communities voice their dissatisfaction on either lack or no receipt of goods and/or services as a result of supply chain management flaws or non inclusiveness of this system in the distribution of wealth. This book will take you through a journey to understand supply chains and supply chain management, current processes, role players and its flaws. Moreover it concludes with proposing what the government of the Republic of South Africa and other countries could do to drastically remedy the current supply chain flaws.

It discusses the various roles of higher education institutions in enhancing entrepreneurship in localized communities, and provides a systematic solution for improving the Southern African economy by realizing the importance of empowering the youth with entrepreneurial skills.
