The Inclusive Society Institute takes reasonable technological measures to ensure the security and integrity of information submitted to or collected by the Inclusive Society Institute Webpages, but cannot under any circumstances be held liable for any loss or other damage sustained by you as a result of unlawful access to or dissemination of any personal information by a third party. 13.2.

Because the Inclusive Society Institute is not responsible for any representations, information, warranties or content on any third-party website (including websites that serve as social networks like Facebook or Twitter), the Inclusive Society Institute does not exercise control over the privacy policies of these third parties and you should refer to the privacy policy of these third parties should you wish to see how they protect your privacy. 14.3. The Inclusive Society Institute may enter into arrangements with its partners and other third-party suppliers in order for them to provide services to you. Those arrangements may require us to disclose your personal information to them, whether in person or by means of an application. 14.4. If a third party asks us for any of your personal information, we will share it with them only if: 14.4.1. you have already given your consent for the disclosure of this information to that third party; or 14.4.2. we have a legal or contractual duty to give the information to that third party. 15. What else should I know about my privacy when online? 15.1. The Inclusive Society Institute takes all reasonable steps to protect your personal information and maintain confidentiality.

Phising and spoofing 17.1. If you receive unsolicited e-mails that appear to be from the Inclusive Society Institute which request you to provide personal information (such as your credit card number), or that ask you to verify or confirm your personal information by clicking on a link, it is most likely that the e-mail was sent by a “phisher” or “spoofer.” 17.2.

  • ISI | Briefings

    Briefings International briefing on land expropriation without compensation Despite assurances by government that the introduction of land reform policies (aimed at providing expropriation of land without compensation) will not provide for any ‘land grab’ scenarios, or be designed in a way that will harm the economy, opposition forces have proceeded to advance countermeasures to discredit the envisaged concept. They wrongly promote the argument that the envisaged policy will result in Zimbabwe-style land grabs and that it will lead to investment insecurity. The deployment of their strategy has included calls on the international community, including the European, British, Australian and American political establishment, to intervene and to place pressure on the South African authorities to desist from implementing these important measures. The ISI, in its support for urgent land reform in South Africa, aims to create, through these briefings, platforms for ANC and government leaders to clarify the policies necessary, and true transformative intentions.

  • ISI | Publications

    Publications Memoirs of the Stalwarts The individual episodes of the living archives series will be transcribed and converted to written biographies. Each biography will represent a chapter in a book to be published for purposes of capturing for posterity the historical contributions of the numerous stalwarts and activists that sacrificed themselves in order to bring about the current democratic dispensation. The international anti-apartheid activists During the period of South Africa’s liberation struggle, many international activists participated in actions of solidarity with the ANC and the broader liberation movement. They came from many countries, notably the United Kingdom, Europe and the USA. Their individual contributions collectively mobilised public opinion in favour of the anti-apartheid effort. This opinion undeniably contributed towards the coordinated international action against the apartheid regime, and ultimately towards the ushering in of democracy in South Africa. The envisaged book will comprise several chapters, with individual chapters being allocated to both well-known and as well as largely unknown individuals, and celebrities. It will tell their life stories, their contribution to South Africa’s liberation struggle, and their assessment of its democratic achievements and outcomes. Journal for Inclusive Public Policy The ISI intends to publish a biannual academic journal, which it aims to have accredited as its reputation gets established. The journal will comprise peer-reviewed articles and research on matters of public policy, across all disciplines, and inclusive democracy. Given the ISI’s value system, the content of the journal will contain bias for contributions authored from a social and national democratic ideological position. The objectives of the institute are that the journal will contribute to the body of knowledge and that it will provoke public policy dialogue. Social Democrat magazine The biannual magazine aims to promote nation-building and reconciliation, social democracy, good governance and patriotism. It will be widely distributed to members of aligned political parties and civil society organisations and the general public. It will be available in both print and digital format. Content will be varied and will include articles such as those profiling leaders and role-players in society, human achievements, policy initiatives, arts, sports and culture, matters of policy and legislation, the economy and infrastructure delivery, the history of the liberation movement, etcetera.

  • ISI | Liberation Archives

    Liberation Archives The constitution of the ISI mandates the institute to host a comprehensive archive on the broader liberation movement. Currently these archives are fragmented and hosted by various entities at several sites, locally and abroad. This project aims to, in the first instance, develop a single portal to access all the sites, with an overarching search engine across all sites. In the second instance, it will actively search and gather material not yet lodged at an archive. Thirdly, it will create its own material for lodging in its own institutional archive. The ‘Liberation Archives’ will be promoted as a primary source of information of the liberation movement. It could be accessed by the general public for research purposes, including scholars and students who regularly need such information for projects. Similarly, it will be geared to be used as a source of information for public promotion and civic information purposes.

    International NHI: Lessons from China, Germany and the United Kingdom The South African government has introduced legislation to introduce a National Health Insurance which aims to provide universal access to affordable and quality healthcare. Various sectors in society have expressed concerns as to the policy’s affordability and its impact on private medical aids and hospitals. This has prompted the ISI to commission research aimed at assessing various financing and structural models that will enable the introduction of a universally accessible, affordable, quality healthcare system. This project aims to create a platform for learning from international practice in this field. China has introduced a universal national healthcare system which also allows for an expansion of private healthcare. Germany has a well-developed national healthcare system which includes space for private healthcare. The United Kingdom’s National Health Scheme is considered an indespensable feature of British society. It too provides for private healthcare. The study will examine the model and its applicability to the South African environment, which study will include an assessment of the interplay between the national system and private medical aids and hospitals.

  • ISI | Panel and Roundtable Discussions

    Panel and Roundtable Discussions Understanding the root causes of violence in South African Society (Gender based violence) South Africa has one of the highest rates of violence against women (and children) in the world. It is generally accepted that it has reached epidemic proportions. Whilst much effort is going into measures aimed at preventing and treating the symptoms of the scourge, the ISI is eager to gain an understanding as to the root causes behind the phenomena in order to effectively design measures to combat it. Understanding the root causes of violence in South African Society (Xenophobia) South Africa has been experiencing serious flame-ups and violence against foreigners. The recent xenophobic attacks in areas across the country have had a material impact on the economy and have harmed the country’s international relations. Whilst much effort is going into measures aimed at preventing and treating the symptoms of the scourge, the ISI is eager to gain an understanding as to the root causes behind the phenomena in order to effectively design measures to combat it. Towards an economic compact: Lessons from Germany’s ‘Concerted Action’ The South African economy is in a precarious position. Amongst other economic indicators, business confidence is at a twenty-year low, manufacturing confidence is down, unemployment is at an all-time high, government debt levels are moving into the danger zone, whilst economic growth remains stubbornly stagnant. The ISI considers conditions now to be conducive to engaging society on the need for an economic compact between the various economic role players. Such a compact would allow for special and calming measures aimed at stimulating investment, job creation, the introduction of less intrusive labour action, fast-tracking of economic decision-making rules, etcetera. Drawing from the German “Konzertierte Aktion” experience, the idea of coordinating behaviour between government, local authorities, trade unions and the Central Bank, will be explored. Land expropriation without compensation The ANC government resolved to introduce land reform policy that would allow for expropriation without compensation. Amendments to section 25 of the Constitution are currently before parliament. Whilst the ANC has been clear on its pronouncement that the measures will not include any ‘land grab’ scenarios, nor will they be designed in a manner that would harm the economy, the lack of a clearly defined policy, serves as a constraint on foreign direct investment and growth. These discussions will aim to consolidate current land reform thinking in the ruling party and will serve as an indicator as to the direction that the policy is taking. Progressive Business roundtable series The ISI will undertake a quarterly series of roundtable discussions with progressive business, for example on mining: value beyond compliance. The ISI, in choosing relevant topics for discussion, will be guided by the ANC’s January the 8th policy statement, the president’s state of the nation address and current day developments within the economy.

  • ISI | About Us

    About Us zkhiphani.co.za The Inclusive Society Institute (ISI) is an autonomous and independent institution that functions independently from any other entity. It is founded for the purpose of supporting and further deepening multi-party democracy. The ISI’s work is motivated by its desire to achieve non-racialism, non-sexism, social justice and cohesion, economic development and equality in South Africa, through a value system that embodies the social and national democratic principles associated with a developmental state. It recognises that a well-functioning democracy requires well-functioning political formations that are suitably equipped and capacitated. It further acknowledges that South Africa is inextricably linked to the ever-transforming and interdependent global world, which necessitates international and multilateral cooperation. As such, the ISI also seeks to achieve its ideals at a global level through cooperation with like-minded parties and organs of civil society who share its basic values. Whilst the institute undertakes research through the lens of social and national democratic values and principles, it is pragmatic, not dogmatic, in its approach.

  • ISI | Our Value System

    Our Value System The Inclusive Society Institute (ISI) is broadly aligned with social democracy , an ideology that favours social and economic interventions aimed at advancing social justice. It does so within the framework of a democratic, free market society. Thus, it promotes a say for people in government actions, supports a competitive economy while also helping the more vulnerable and poorer people in society. The ISI promotes national democracy in South Africa by supporting processes aimed at transforming the country into a non-racial, non-sexist, united democratic society, in which all people enjoy equal rights. Since economic growth and social development needs to be balanced, the ISI considers the developmental state model, in which government plays an active role in guiding economic development, as the most appropriate approach for transforming the economy and society. It, therefore, finds acceptable the use of state resources and state influence to confront poverty and expand economic opportunities. It believes that the well-being of South Africa is best promoted by ensuring an inclusive society , in which the composition of the economy, government and civil society equitably reflects the demographics of the nation, and in which people from all cultural, religious and social groupings are able to freely and equally participate therein.

Roseanne Harris Job Discovery Health Nov 11, 2020 Congratulations on a great document. I am very aware of the extensive thought and consultation that went into preparing this which presents a number of practical ways forward for achieving the policy objectives in a more feasible way and also to try and ensure more immediate and incremental improvements than a “big-bang” approach. I think the conceptualisations are very appropriate to the reality of the current circumstances and are really well articulated. I certainly hope that these views gain some traction with the Portfolio Committee and other policymakers.
