Polling GovDem Poll This comprehensive poll will be designed to inform political strategy and public policy. Samples will be drawn to assess party-political support patterns and shifts, to assess public opinion on government performance and support for government policy initiatives. Questions will also be included to gain empirical data to support the various research projects of the ISI.

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.

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.

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.

Liberation & Living Archives Living archives Whilst much of the history of the ANC and broader liberation movement has been captured in various formats and stored at archives of the movement, many stories remain untold. The living archive project of the ISI aims to capture for posterity these untold stories. The institute is particularly concerned with the aging stalwarts of the movement, as procrastination may inevitably result in the loss of historic content. It will therefore initially focus on capturing the accounts of these stalwarts through the production of documentaries on the individual. These documentaries will be recorded in the form of video biographies, in which they relay their life passage, their involvement in the struggle, the values they embodied and strived for, together with their critique of the countries democratic emancipation, and their assessment of the ideals that remain to be achieved. Several episodes will be produced each year, with one episode devoted to a stalwart/activist. Setting-up of the ‘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 about 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.

Policy Research and Analysis National Health Insurance (NHI) Financing Government has introduced new National Health Insurance legislation, which aims to provide universal access to affordable quality healthcare. The legislation is being contested on various fronts. The ISI supports universal access to for all to affordable quality healthcare conditional on the fiscus being able to fund it and on the understanding that the existing world-class health infrastructure is not sacrificed. This research aims to provide various financing and structural models to achieve the principle objectives set out in the legislation. The research will also include a study of various UHC systems in other jurisdictions, for example, Germany, Ireland, South Korea, etcetera, from which lessons could be drawn to inform a consensus South African position. Options for electoral reform The current electoral system has served the transition to democracy well. Negative political developments, combined with a maturing electorate, however, started to raise questions as to the continued suitability of the current arrangements. Voices in society are starting to call for electoral reform that will usher in greater accountability, and accessibility, from and to, publicly elected representatives. It has, for example, reached a point where a case is currently serving before the Constitutional Court to amend electoral legislation to allow for individuals to stand for public office in all spheres of government. This research will assess public opinion regarding the current electoral systems and their desirability for change. It will consider the public’s current concerns and survey available electoral alternatives that may be deployed as a response thereto. The researchers will then design options for consideration. Existing electoral data will be modelled to simulate voting outcomes for each of the proposed options. Assessment: Progress towards economic transformation Government has introduced several regulatory measures aimed at bringing about economic transformation in order to create an inclusive economy that is equitably accessible to all. Given the nature of the country’s discriminatory past, these measures include policies such as affirmative action, black economic empowerment, the black industrialist programme, government procurement set-asides for specific population groups, et cetera. There are regular contradictions in proclamations as to the extent of progress made in normalising the South African economic environment. It appears that no comprehensive measurement has been done to date. This research aims to measure the extent of economic transformation that has taken place since the advent of democracy in 1994. Furthermore, it will provide the basis for an annual economic transformation index, a measurement tool to track progress on an annual basis.

Existing electoral data will be modelled to simulate voting outcomes for each of the proposed options. Economic blueprint The South African economy remains stubbornly sluggish. With this year’s GDP growth anticipated to be below one percent, debt to GDP rising to over 65 percent, and unemployment at a record high of 29 percent, imaginative thinking is required to catapult the country out of its current trajectory. Simultaneously, the economy needs to be transformed in order to address inequality, to mainstream the informal sector and to become more demographically inclusive. The Inclusive Society Institute is of the opinion that it cannot be business as usual. New ‘out of the box’ thinking is required, and non-conventional intervention considered. In developing a new progressive economic blueprint for South Africa, the institute wishes to bring all the economic role-players into a non-conventional environment of dialogue – thereby enabling a disengagement from formal mandates into one that encourages a free-flow of ideas. The composition of the dialogue would also weigh more heavily on economic practitioners, as opposed to traditional academia and office-bound policymakers. It will comprise five phases: (i) A first round of discussions with focus groups encompassing all sectors of the economy on what is wrong, what needs to be fixed, and a second round of discussions on ‘out of the box’ ideas, (ii) lessons from other depressed economies that were able to turn themselves into winning nations, (iii) research, analyses and drafting of concept blueprint, (iv) consultative forum to discuss concept and (v) formal release process. Asia-South Africa economic cooperation South African enterprises, in their efforts to foster new markets, are increasingly targeting Asian economies. The objective of this project is to get a better understanding of the prospects, challenges and functioning of the Asian markets, so as to leverage development therefrom. The project will be executed in cooperation with research institutions and enterprises from across the Asian region. It will comprise roundtable discussions on various aspects of cooperation, study visits, surveys and in-depth research. Understanding inequality Statistics South Africa, with the support of the French Development Agency (AFD), recently released a report on inequality in South Africa. The gist of the findings was that 25 years into the new democracy, the overall inequality patters between black and white remains largely unchanged. The ISI believes that a deeper understanding of the inequality is required to assess whether the building blocks established by government has set demographic wealth transformation on the right trajectory. This requires a series of statistical drilling down exercises, taking age, sector, and type of work into account. It also requires a differentiated treatment of the unemployed, under-employed and the extreme earners (top 1%).
