Abstract

The article analyses survey and elections results from Afrobarometer and the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC), respectively, to demonstrate the relationship between the worsening public trust deficits in institutions of the state, constitutional democracy, and politics, on the one hand, and the ruling ANC’s declining electoral fortunes. It asserts that South Africa’s democratic experiment, under the ANC’s 28 years state governance, was placed on the precipice of civil strife; and, that the July 2021 violent public unrest, destruction of infrastructure and pillage points to ominous signposts of popular citizenry acceptance of anarchy. The article offers three concluding remarks, thus: the ruling ANC’s declining electoral fortunes will be hard to halt and reverse because whereas it is easy to lose public trust, it is hard to regain and uphold; the ANC’s conduct of the 28 years state governance has set South Africa’s democratic experiment on the precipice of ominous signposts of civil strife as societal political leadership vacuum is formed and consolidated; and, unless if the ANC reverts to undemocratic and/or fraudulent electoral conduct to stay in power, it will be decades before it recovers from the ongoing electoral slide. Finally, it recommends that the South African citizenry needs to ensure that the societal political leadership vacuum created by the erosion of public trust may not be consolidated and exploited by undemocratic forces to install unelected government.

Abstract

Legislatively, the Office of the Commissioner for Conciliation Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) in the South was created to ensure a fast, convenient, and fair labour dispute mechanism within the labour force environment. While some believe that the Office is fair in the adjudication of cases brought to them, this article argues differently from such held viewpoint. This article argues that the Office of the CCMA largely serves the interest of the Powerful (Employers) and largely ignores the Powerless (Employees). There are few if any, scholarly articles which addressed this crucial element of injustice against the working class in South Africa, which emanates from the ineffective operation of this institution. This article is conceptual in approach, and it uses literature to argue that the current ineffective systems used in the CCMA office ensure little security and protection of employees' rights against well-resourced and labour-abusive employers. The article concludes that the unfair balance of consideration of the interests of the employers and employees at the CCMA renders the purpose of the office ineffective, with no valid moral reason to exist in South Africa.
