Fate of the Nation
WHAT DOES OUR FUTURE HOLD? In these uncertain times, this is the question on many South Africans' lips. Will we become more prosperous and less divided as a nation or remain hugely unequal and generally poor? Will the ANC split or eventually be forced into an alliance with the EFF after 2019? Could the DA rule the country after the 2024 elections? In Fate of the Nation Jakkie Cilliers develops three scenarios for our immediate future and beyond: Bafana Bafana, Nation Divided and Mandela Magic. Cilliers says the ANC is currently paralysed by the power struggle between what he calls the Traditionalists and the Reformers. It is this power struggle that has led to the inept leadership, policy confusion and poor service delivery that has plagued the country in recent years. Key to which scenario could become our reality is who will be elected to the ANC's top leadership at the party's national conference in December 2017. Whichever group wins there will determine what our future looks like. This is a book for all concerned South Africans.
The Delusion of Knowledge Transfer
With the rise of the ‘knowledge for development’ paradigm, expert advice has become a prime instrument of foreign aid. At the same time, it has been object of repeated criticism: the chronic failure of ‘technical assistance’ – a notion under which advice is commonly subsumed – has been documented in a host of studies. Nonetheless, international organisations continue to send advisors, promising to increase the ‘effectiveness’ of expert support if their technocratic recommendations are taken up. This book reveals fundamental problems of expert advice in the context of aid that concern issues of power and legitimacy rather than merely flaws of implementation. Based on empirical...
Public Finance Management
"Finance is the nerve centre of any institution. As the public sector deals with society's funds it is crucial that the financial management of all public institutions should be above reproach. Thus every aspect of the management of public funds should conform to the highest ethical and legal standards. All officials should be fully conversant with the relevant policies and procedures related to the financial management of their individual jobs, the particular department or entity as well as the comprehensive economic, political and social environment within which they have to deliver services to the members of society. This book describes and explains the financial management of national and provincial government departments."--Publisher's description

The Impact of the Leadership Characteristics of the Local Government Leaders on Service Delivery in South Africa
If you are reading this book it means you are interested in the affairs of the local government. Over the years I have observed and read a lot of challenges faced by the local government and the local communities. The relationship between the local government leadership and the communities has consistently been sour.This book is closing the gap between the local government and community perspectives. The book consists of six chapters that focused on different critical topics that spark a discussion within the communities and among government stakeholders. As the author of this book and written extensively on issue of local government, it was necessary for me to write this book. In the past I have written on issues of leadership ethics and leadership characteristics in the local government and some of the points made derive from this experience. The book is structured in the following manner.
