How does security limit the right to protest? : a study examining the securitised response to protest in South AfricaRoyeppen, Andrea Leigh January 2014 (has links)
In South Africa, the right to protest is under constant threat as a result of the state response. Increasing cases of forceful policing and sometimes unlawful procedural prohibitions of protest attest to this. This study aims to firstly describe this situation through securitisation theory, essentially arguing that South Africa has become a securitised state. It also aims to understand how this is sustained by the state and why the state needs to use a securitised response to maintain power. Interviews were conducted with members of different communities and organisations. Their responses helped to illustrate the frustration of the right to protest or brutal policing during a protest. This provided primary evidence to support the claims of the study. The research shows that claims to protest are being delegitimised under the guise of security as protestors are being constructed as threats to the state. This is further substantiated by looking at how the reorganisation and remililtarisation of the South African Police perpetuates the criminalisation of protestors which necessitates a forceful response from the state. Furthermore, it shows that there is a distinct relationship between the prohibition of protest and the recent increase in ‘violent’ protests which legitimate forceful policing thereby creating a state sustained cycle of violence. The larger implication of this treatment is that these protestors are treated as non- citizens who are definitively excluded from participating in governance. In understanding why this is taking place, it is clear that a securtitised response is an attempt to maintain power by dispelling any threats to power, a response which is seen to have a long history in the African National Congress (ANC) when examining the politics of the ANC during exile. Maintaining power in this way distracts from the larger agenda of the state, which this thesis argues, is to mask the unraveling of the ANC’s hegemony and inability to maintain national unity. In other words, the increasing dissatisfaction of some of the citizenry which has manifested through protest greatly undermines the legitimacy of the government to provide for its people.

Violent community protests and their impact on teachers : a case study of Vuwani, Limpopo ProvinceMushoma, Tshililo 10 1900 (has links)
Abstracts in English and Nyanja / Violent community protests are a common occurrence in South Africa ever since
democracy. The aim of the study was to determine teachers’ views on the impact of
violent community protests in a specific high school. Ineffective municipality leadership
led to violent community protests which disrupted schooling activities. A qualitative
design and one case study was employed in this study, and data were collected using
individual interviews, observation and document analysis. Differences in ethnicity
between community members and lack of service delivery were the cause of
community protests. The study revealed that vandalising and burning down schools
affect teachers’ ability to work. This study contributes to the body of knowledge to
create safer learning environments in South African schools. Recommendations were
made on how the community could work together and strengthen their relationship in
protecting their schools’ assets. / U gwalaba ha vhadzulapo ho no tou vha kutshilele kwa misi fhano Africa Tshipembe u
