ATTENTION THEME COMMITTEE 11
STRUCTURE
OF GOVERNMENT
Provincial office bearers Should be elected for a five year
period. Each candidate should be put up for election by the different
parties
on merit and qualifications for a position. The office bearer should be
responsible and accountable to the electorate.
Salaries and benefits should be
negotiated by the electorate. Total transparency of all Provincial matters is
important.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Political Parties to Put up
suitable candidates for election into specific areas of Administration for a
three year period of office.
The electorate to elect the person (not the
party) into office. The person is responsible and accountable to the
electorate. Local
Chiefs should be included in the candidates and not instated
simply because of custom. Salaries and wages should be agreed by the
electorate. 1, as an individual, don't apply for a work... position and then
tell my employer
how much I want to be paid.
ATTENTION
THEME COMMITTEE 1
I would like to see a democracy where every South
African over the age of eighteen is registered on a voters role in his/her place
of residence.
Voters would vote for individuals (not the party.) to fill
the Ministerial positions in Central Government and in Local Government
(the
person qualified for the position).
A period of office of five years with
a further election period possible. The person/s elected would be accountable
to the electorate
and not to the party.
As the members are elected by the
people to do a job of work, so should their salaries and perks be negotiated by
the people. Total
transparency of all Government matters - no
secrets.
Trusting my views will be taken into
consideration.

FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS AND PUBLIC
ENTERPRISE
FINANCIAL & FISCAL COMMISSION
I
would like to see a free and equal enterprise system for South Africa.
I would like to see controls in place to govern the various enterprises so
that all compete on an equal footing (street vendors are
not equal).
Salaries for all. Government departments should be open for endorsement by
the people who, in fact., pay them their salaries.
I would also like to see a small business Employers Union formed so
that Government ran get feed back from the small businesses of South
Africa.
Policy should be put in place to encourage entrepreneurship.
Education must be programmed to give pupils the tools necessary to be
productive workers on leaving school. Creative and inventive
thinking should
be enforced in all subjects.
