Remaking the ANC: Party change in South Africa and the Global South

R280.00

Although the ANC has been in power now for twenty years and looks set to continue in office for some time yet, its hold on power is neither permanent nor assured, and sometime in the future it is safe to say it will be voted out of office. This is the fate faced by all liberation movements that have won power at the ballot box. The Indian National Congress, which came to office after independence in 1947, is the prime example, but such loss of power has been experienced by other political parties in the Global South. Being voted out of office is not the only fate awaiting political parties. Popular disaffection, loss of loyalty, splits and schisms, factionalism, all affect parties and in turn inspire them to change and adapt, meet the challenges or try to avert the loss of support. Yet we know little about how and why parties change in the Global South. This book explores various dimensions of internal organisational reform by examining parties from around the South. Several chapters investigate the African National Congress (ANC) in South Africa, one of several ‘dominant parties’ that have begun to lose their shine. Other chapters look at the Chinese Communist Party; the Indian National Congress; the Workers’ Party (PT) in Brazil; UMNO in Malaysia; the Kuomintang (KMT) in Taiwan; and Mexico’s PRI. The authors explore such issues as the uses and abuses of technology and social media; changes to candidate selection, membership, and policy deliberation processes; discipline and political education programmes; party-to-party learning; factional politics; and the effects of state power on party management. For all those interested in knowing how the ANC might adapt – or die – as well as those with a special interest in political parties and party systems, this book provides the answers.

The Market Theatre celebrates Women’s Month with The Market Theatre celebrates Women’s Month with remarkable productions

The Market Theatre has curated an undoubtably intriguing season of productions to celebrate Women’s Month with I Am A Woman.

Every year in August, our country marks Women’s Month, where we pay tribute to the more than 20 000 women who marched to the Union Buildings on 9 August 1956 in protest against the extension of Pass Laws to women. Women’s Month allows us as society to gauge how far we have come in transforming society, particularly the unequal power relations between women and men.

Nqobile Sipamla, Mzansi’s favorite actress returns to the Market Theatre to give a performance of a lifetime in I Am A Woman which premiers Tuesday 19 July to Sunday 14 August 2022.

Sipamla dazzles as Mmabatho in I Am A Woman, a brand new one woman play by novelist Nthikeng Mohlele, set in contemporary and cosmopolitan Gauteng. The piece is anchored around the grand themes of love and belonging, female identity and feminist sentiments, about the place of women in a modern South Africa, about tragedy and loss, and about the interplay between personal and societal tensions.

The central premise of the play is an existential examination of the hearts of humans; what it means to love, to have a meaningful life and, how fate and chance can either enrich or derail personal dreams and agency. Emotive, philosophical, humorous and often deadpan; the piece is a mosaic of performance flowers waiting to bloom.

Click here to read 'I Am Women', which appears in Mohlele's latest short story anthology, 'The Discovery of Love': https://jacana.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/DISCOVERY-OF-LOVE-WM-PDF.pdf
