  • Fostering a just energy transition

    Krish Chetty, Yul Derek Davids et al.ARTICLESouth African Journal of…2023

    South Africa's renewable energy independent power producers (REIPPs) largely depend on foreign manufacturers and resources as they generate the power needed to address the country's energy crisis. This foreign dependence contradicts some principles of a just energy transition, which encourage developing local job creation in the renewable energy sector. Although South Africa has increased its power procurement targets and relaxed some regulatory …

    Modimowabarwa Kanyane, Giulio Verdini et al.BOOKCulture and Rural-Urban…2021

    This book captures ground-breaking attempts to utilise culture in territorial development and regeneration processes in the context of South Africa and our 'new normal' brought by COVID-19, the fourth industrial revolution, and climate change the world over.\n\nThe importance of culture in rural-urban revitalisation has been underestimated in South Africa and the African continent at large. Despite some cultural initiatives that are still at deve…

  • Factions and Factionalism in South African Party Politics – Appraising (de)Merits

    Modimowabarwa KanyaneARTICLEPolitikon2021References: 13

    Faction is an old age phenomenon world over. The democratic consolidation in South Africa post 1994 is close to three decades but did not escape factionalism. Does faction phenomenon bring about havoc, conflicts, splits, and instability corollaries or strengthen party politics in response to fulfilling the general will? In responding to this question, South African party politics and factional battles within the ruling party and other political f…

  • Inclusive Ward Delimitation in South Africa – Analysing Critical Issues

    Tong Yu, Modimowabarwa KanyaneARTICLEPolitikon2021References: 13

    Ward delimitation does not only affect registered voters but also the entire society. In making use of registered voters to delimit wards it is assumed that registered voters are true representation of the population as the only legitimate stakeholders. This assumption is flawed in many ways. Arguably, ward delimitation using voter equities is not only partisan but also discriminatory. Comparative countries’ case studies were employed to analyse …

  • Social accountability in local government

    Open AccessModimowabarwa Kanyane, Edson Paul Mutema et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Affairs2020Cited by: 1References: 9

    What do experiences in South Africa and Zimbabwe teach us about the relationship between social accountability and public participation? The relationship between social accountability and public participation is widely acknowledged as important, yet the nuances that inform such a relationship are not critically discussed. To understand such nuances, this paper critically engages two cases: Vuwani (South Africa) and Gweru (Zimbabwe). The study und…

  • Vuwani

    Modimowabarwa Kanyane, Cyril Adonis et al.ARTICLEAfrican Security Review2020Cited by: 2References: 4

    Prior to May 2016, the relatively unknown community of Vuwani in the Limpopo Province of South Africa had hardly been prone to violent protests and destruction of public property. This changed when the Limpopo High Court dismissed an application by the Masia Tribal Council and eight others to set aside the Municipal Demarcation Board’s decision to incorporate Vuwani and parts of Thulamela Local Municipality into a single new municipality. What fo…

  • Municipal boundaries demarcations and ward delimitations—Impact on service delivery

    Open AccessModimowabarwa KanyaneARTICLEJournal of Public Affairs2019

    Ward delimitation is a call that demands interrogation. Issues of ward delimitation and their impact on service delivery are critical. While reminiscing the past, good or bad, the study warns the Municipal Demarcation Board, the authority in charge of demarcation and delimitations of municipal boundaries and wards, to delimit wards without inciting conflicts and violence. Employing multicase studies, the study follows empirical analysis drawing e…

  • Life after judgment

    Narnia Bohler-Muller, Modimowabarwa Kanyane et al.ARTICLEJournal of Contemporary African…2018References: 7

    The progressive realisation of socio-economic rights as enshrined in South Africa’s Constitution remains a pipe dream for many poor and vulnerable people, 23 years after the collapse of apartheid. In the case of Nokotyana and Others v Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality and Others, the Constitutional Court (CC) decided on the interpretation of the rights of access to basic services such as sanitation and high mast lighting. In this case, communi…

  • Interfacing interplay of local government, traditional leaders and society

    Modimowabarwa KanyaneARTICLEJournal of Contemporary African…2017Cited by: 1References: 2

    Wilmien Wicomb from the Legal Resource Centre states that the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 marks the first time that customary law was recognised as a law equal to its common law and even statutory law counterparts. Whilst this recognition is implicit in chapter two of the Constitution, the Constitutional Court’s jurisprudence in 2000 placed such recognition beyond doubt to make sure that the legislature and executive entren…
