Parly Committee concerned regulations undermine BELA Act's intention
Committee chairperson Joy Maimela has slammed Gwarube for only publishing regulations pertaining to two sections of the act and says these appear to contradict the intention of transforming the sector.
Maimele has accused Gwarube of attempting to rewrite the act through the regulations that were published for public comment last Thursday.
But Gwarube said the regulations were informed by the work of experts, and went through a long and detailed process before being presented for legal certification.

"We have obtained a legal opinion from the office of the chief state law advisor that these regulations are legally sound, that they are not a departure from the principle act, and that they are good and ready to be published. It's from that advice that we've published these regulations."

DA slams R700m national dialogue as pricey ‘talk shop'
Democratic Alliance leader John Steenhuisen. (Delwyn Verasamy/M&G) The The 'The fact that others are now withdrawing from the national dialogue shows that it is an illegitimate talk shop. South Africans do not need more dialogue; they need real delivery. The DA will relentlessly use our influence inside the GNU and parliament to push for these reforms. It is time for urgent action. We must create economic growth and jobs,' he said. His comments came days after several legacy organisations announced they would not participate in the dialogue or the work of its preparatory task team. These include the Steve Biko, Thabo Mbeki, Chief Albert Luthuli, Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy, FW de Klerk and Oliver and Adelaide Tambo foundations, as well as the Strategic Dialogue Group. The organisations cited insufficient funds and not enough time to prepare for the first national convention and a shift towards government control of the programme. 'We feel the organisation of the matter was not entirely honest as to where the funds will be directed. This is due to our belief that core principles meant to underpin the whole National Dialogue have been violated in the rush to host a gathering on 15 August,' they said in a joint statement. President Cyril Ramaphosa first publicly Last month National Dialogue steering committee chairperson Nkosinathi Biko Besides the DA, other critics have also slammed the proposed R700 million plus budget for the initiative, with labour federation Cosatu said the idea, pushed by a few officials, was 'imprudent and insensitive' amid deep public frustration, with workers already facing spending cuts on health, education, policing and home affairs services, as well as rising living costs and an economy crippled by unemployment, poverty and inequality. Following the withdrawal of the foundations from the preparatory task team last week, a new convention organising committee, including representatives from civil society, National Economic Development and Labour Council (Nedlac), the University of South Africa (Unisa) and the presidency, has taken over preparations. The convention organisers confirmed the first national convention of the National Dialogue will take place on 15 and 16 August at Unisa's main campus. It will host 1 000 delegates from more than 30 sectors, with special weighting for marginalised groups including youth, women and LGBTQI+ people. Some 557 participants from 28 sectors have confirmed attendance. Costs have been reduced through in-kind contributions, national convention spokesperson Zwoitwaho Nevhutalu said, adding: 'Unisa is providing venues, catering, audio-visual services, printing and other logistics free of charge. 'Additional support includes donated transport and a digital platform for the dialogue. The main expenses are being covered from Nedlac and presidency budgets, in line with the Public Finance Management Act.' The plan is to hold at least three dialogues in each of the country's 4,300 wards, supplemented by sectoral discussions and the media, Nevhutalu said. A mobile app will allow the public to contribute and track outcomes. 'The outcomes framework of the public dialogues will focus on radical change, rapid response and rebuilding the nation. We must not allow any grouping to control a process that should truly belong to citizens,' he said. For the DA, the time for talking has passed. 'It is now time for the majority of South Africans to taste the freedom of a new democracy through a job, not jobs and tenders only for the politically elite,' Steenhuisen told journalists. He argued that dismantling the Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment Act (broad-based BEE), the Employment Equity Act and the Expropriation Act, alongside taking a stronger stance against corruption, would open the economy to more meaningful growth. 'These laws were intended to advance transformation, but they have increasingly entrenched elite enrichment, deterred investment, and blocked small businesses from accessing opportunities,' he said. But last week ANC secretary general Fikile Mbalula said the party 'would not be coerced' into reversing its 'progressive transformation laws', echoing a position stated by Ramaphosa earlier this year. The president told parliament that the coalition government's commitment to broad-based BEE remained 'steadfast' and aligned with the Constitution's equality clause, which allows for measures to advance those disadvantaged by unfair discrimination. 'If the privileged class tried to fight back against economic redress, that would be unconstitutional,' he said. ActionSA has also signalled it may withdraw from the dialogue, citing public dissatisfaction and the withdrawal of respected foundations. 'We are not prepared to lend credibility to what many already believe to be a window-dressing exercise that risks becoming a government-directed platform,' the party's Athol Trollip said, describing the process as 'crumbling' and losing credibility.

Gwarube appeals to politicians not to use BELA Act as political football
CAPE TOWN - Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube has appealed to politicians not to use the contentious Basic Education Laws Amendment (BELA) Act as a political football. This after the chairperson of Parliament's portfolio committee, Joy Maimela, said the committee was unhappy that only two draft regulations from the act were gazetted by Gwarube last week. Maimela claims the regulations contradict Parliament's intention to transform the education sector. The new act makes Grade R compulsory and regulates the admission and language policies of schools. READ: Parly Committee concerned regulations undermine BELA Act's intention But Maimela said Gwarube was expected to gazette all the regulations under the act in one go and not in a piecemeal fashion. 'While we understand the intent may be to avoid technical delays, this fragmented rollout undermines the coherence, urgency and integrity of the BELA implementation process. South Africa's children cannot afford to wait for bureaucratic caution or political compromise,' said Maimela. READ: Gwarube publishes first 2 BELA regulations for public comment Maimela said it also appears the regulations on school admissions are contrary to the act's intentions and will once again exclude disadvantaged learners based on location. Gwarube said the regulations were carefully considered and drafted by a group of experts. "There are still leaders in the country who are hellbent on politicising this piece of legislation - a piece of legislation that's going to help us bring coherence in the school system and our education system." Maimela said Gwarube can expect robust engagement with the committee on these regulations.

ATM demands investigation and removal of Minister Gayton McKenzie over racist remarks
Thabo Makwakwa | Updated 7 hours ago The African Transformation Movement (ATM) formally lodged a complaint against Sports, Arts and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie, alleging racist remarks aimed at black South Africans and calling for an urgent investigation and his removal. The complaint, submitted to the Presidency, Parliament, and the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Ethics and Members' Interests, centers on tweets the ATM said contain 'racist slurs' directed at the black community. McKenzie is embroiled in controversy regarding old social media posts dating back to 2011, shared on X (formerly Twitter) during his time as a businessman. The posts re vealed the use of highly offensive racial slur towards blacks. In one of his posts, he criticised the term 'Black Diamond' while using a racially charged term that many in South Africa consider reprehensible. ATM parliamentary leader Vuyo Zungula drafted the letter on Saturday. It frames the matter as a constitutional and ethical crisis rather than a political spat. Zungula asserted that the tweets 'contain racially derogatory slurs directed at black South Africans, language that is both indefensible and deeply corrosive to the principles upon which our democracy is built.' He argued that the issue 'is not a matter of political rivalry or petty offence. It is a matter of ethics, constitutional duty, and the moral fabric of the Republic.' In the letter, Zungula further reminded readers of the country's struggle with racial oppression and the purpose of national reconciliation efforts. '(The) tweets employ language steeped in historical racism, t he same kind of degrading rhetoric used to strip black people of their humanity during apartheid and colonial eras. ' Zungula also criticised McKenzie for what the letter describes as hypocrisy in response to remarks by younger podcasters, stating that ministers carry heavier responsibilities than private individuals. Among the key passages cited by the ATM are calls for accountability and transparency. 'Public trust is the currency of governance. When a Minister openly or historically expresses racial prejudice, without acknowledgment, remorse, or corrective action, that trust is irreparably damaged.' The letter added that an 'unrepentant Minister cannot credibly lead a department tasked with building cultural bridges and fostering unity.' The complaint asks Parliament's ethics bodies to determine whether the remarks breach the Constitution, the Executive Members' Ethics Act, and the Parliamentary Code of Conduct, and to consider removing McKenzie from his ministerial post. It argues that his continued tenure undermines his office and Parliament. The ATM also invoked several constitutional and statutory provisions, arguing that the Minister's conduct violates principles of non-racialism, equality before the law, the dignity of all people, and the expectations of ethical public service. The party listed specific constitutional sections and ethics codes, including references to Sections 1(b), 9, 10, and 195(1)(e) and (i) of the Constitution, the Executive Members' Ethics Act, and the Parliament's Code of Ethical Conduct and Disclosure of Members' Interests. 'Given the gravity of the matter, I request that the Presidency, Parliament, and the Ethics Committee initiate an immediate and thorough investigation into the Minister's remarks, past and present; determine whether these remarks constitute a breach of the Constitution, the Executive Members' Ethics Act, and the Parliamentary Code of Conduct; and recommend to the President the removal of Minister McKenzie from his position, as his continued tenure undermines the legitimacy of both his office and Parliament.' Requests for comment from the office of Minister McKenzie were not immediately returned. However, on Friday evening, he wrote on his X account saying that : 'This whole campaign to find something racist I ever said is hilarious because you have now gone 13 years back and can't bring out one racist thing I ever said. I always and still fight that Coloureds and Blacks are one people being treated differently mistakenly.' Meanwhile, ActionSA has reported McKenzie to the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) for the racist remarks he made, which included the use of outdated and degrading slurs from the Apartheid era.
