through Partnerships
Cabinet Meets labour
Premier Ebrahim Rasool
Cape Town Convention Centre
17 November 2004
Purpose of engagement
Difference DA expansion of Dialogue Historic
To consolidate our “development consensus”
reached at the PGDS in October 2003
To deepen the foundation for joint action to
address the challenges facing the Western Cape
To inform our labour partners about our progress
in gearing-up to deliver on our vision – a home for
all – through our iKapa elihlumayo strategy
To keep the channels of communication open to
ensure a listening and responsive government
Delivering a Home for All through Partnership
Overview
Coming to terms with the Development Challenges in
the Western Cape
Need for a developmental state & partnerships
iKapa Elihlumayo as Strategy of government
Outcome of PGDS commitments made in 2003
The strategic approach of government: deepening the
strategies of iKapa and gearing up government for
delivery
Implications for labour
Challenges for labour to make the partnership work
Delivering a Home for All through Partnership
Understanding the State (1)
Inherited a 20th C model of public admin:
Functionality principle
Mixed with: Fragmented Apartheid State

Fragmentation specified in terms of racial, geographic,
qualitative and functional boundaries
Later on, mixed with: Weak Neo-Liberal State

Non-intervention; specialised fragmentation; separation of
policy and delivery; remote from citizens
Manifested in Western Cape State…
Delivering a Home for All through Partnership
Understanding the State (2)
Western Cape State





Racialised, unequal and remote
Competitive service & cost-centre model
Profit-drive and private sector bias
Technocratic and un-strategic
Incremental budgeting
Consequences:

A highly fragmented and anti-development institutional
setting with inappropriately skilled staff, low morale and
tendency for silo-based competition as opposed to
cooperation around shared objectives
Delivering a Home for All through Partnership
The case for a developmental approach
All things being equal as they stand now, most cities, towns
and rural regions will become more unequal, exclusionary,
divisive and inevitably violent, over the course of the next
decade, even with consistent economic growth and service
delivery!
Urgent, strategically focussed action is needed over the
medium term to ensure growth with equity and social inclusion
(to deliver social cohesion)
However, interventions must be driven by rigorous analysis of
the systemic causes of structural problems (wicked issues)
Interventions must also target a limited number of strategic
levers of change that can trigger large waves of transformation
within and especially beyond government
A common vision and joint programmes are therefore essential
Delivering a Home for All through Partnership
Conceptual Framework (1)
Features of a developmental state
people-oriented: it responds to the realization that people or
citizens experience needs and problems in dynamic and complex
ways & therefore require appropriate responses;
partnership–based: it is not a paternalistic state that delivers to a
passive citizenry, but a state that mobilizes the capacity of citizens
and enters into partnership with them;
interventionist: it harnesses the natural tools of government to
address the socio-economic and sustainability needs of society,
especially in the interest of the historically disadvantaged;
well-managed: it excels in good governance practices which display
an alignment of policy with implementation, appropriately skilled
human resources, and a goal-oriented performance management
system.
Delivering a Home for All through Partnership
Recap context of transition:
External challenges
Employment
 Unemployment: 26% of economically active
 Unemployability of +20 year olds
 18% matric, 10% tertiary, 21% incomplete primary education
Economy
 Growth in Tertiary sector: but no real jobs – high skills
 Primary & Secondary sectors: net shedders of jobs
Inequality: Gini Co-efficient
 Economic Wage:
0,58
 Social Wage:
0,42
Social violence (inhibiter of econ development & social cohesion)
Social divisions in society (inhibiter of econ development & social
cohesion)

Internal challenges
Budget




Social Spending: 80% vs Rest: 20%
Personnel: 47,5% vs Non-Personnel: 52,5%
Budgeted Deficit: R800m over 3 years
Search for new revenue: fuel levy & hospitability levies
Social Security = demand and efficiency challenge

Prevent over-expenditure
Health = unsustainable system

Healthcare 2010 is an adjustment package
Education = inability to address great inequity and job loss
threats

HRD strategy
Housing = massive and growing backlogs (320 000)

Programmes afoot to promote new human settlements policy
(e.g. N2)
Economic development – limited expenditure available

Maximise partnerships
Delivering a Home for All through Partnership
Our challenge
“The advances made in the first decade by far supercede
the weaknesses. Yet, if all indicators were to continue
along the same trajectory, especially in respect of the
dynamic of economic inclusion and exclusion, we could
soon reach a point where the negatives start to
overwhelm the positives. This could precipitate a
vicious cycle of decline in all spheres.
Required are both focus and decisiveness on the part of
government, the will to weigh trade-offs and make
choices, as well as strategies to inspire all of society to
proceed along a new trail…”
(Towards a Ten Year Review, 2003)
Delivering a Home for All through Partnership
Implications of external & internal
challenges
We have no choice but to:



Work closely with our social partners
Work in much smarter ways: achieve multiple outcomes
with strategically deployed and linked investments
The future, therefore, lies in holistic and partnership-based
governance
Question is: How are we going to realise this?
Fix and re-make the plane
whilst we flying it!

iKapa Elihlumayo:
Critical Paradigm Shifts for Government
1. Understand the nature of the State (state of the
State)
2. Redefine the role of the State through
1. A theory of: the Modern African State
2. Aligning the budget to vision and strategy: from
input-based to outcomes-based budgeting
3. Re-tooling the state to become integrated and
holistic (Expressed in 4 pillars: integrated, cooperative, responsive and globally connected
governance)
4. Achieve objectives through partnerships
5. Foster active citizenship to unleash energy
within civil society and families
