Electing councillors: A guide to municipal elections
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)The electoral system for local government combines ward elections with proportional representation. It is regulated in at least four different statutes, the Electoral Act 73 of 1998, the Local Government: Municipal Structures ... -
The election result and its implications for political party configuration
(Sabinet, 2004)As a competition for both popular support and political office, Election 2004 deepened the dominant-party system in South Africa. In terms of support, the African National Congress (ANC) did better than ever. Indeed, its ... -
Electric dipole polarizability of low-lying excited states in atomic nuclei
(Institute of Physics, 2024)New equations for the electric dipole polarizability α E1 of low-lying excited states in atomic nuclei—and the related (−2) moment of the total photo-absorption cross section, σ −2—are inferred in terms of electric dipole ... -
