What are things that can cause the service delivery protests​

English

Karolina [17]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Service delivery remains one of the major challenges

of the 21st century. Service delivery protests are not

uncommon around the world especially in those

countries where public service delivery remains

a challenge. At Yemen in Asia, during 2012, the

country experienced protests coupled with road

blockages by citizens demanding lower fuel prices

and increased supply of electricity. There were

also widespread protests against government and

security officials accused of corruption (Akinboade,

Mokwena & Kinfack, 2014:10). In South Africa,

protesting is not a new phenomenon nor is it a phenomenon which is unique. As early as the 1700's

for instance, during the French revolution, citizens

protested against perceived injustices perpetrated

by the governing elite against the poor and working class (Brown, 2017). Cases indicate that there is

almost no country or continent which can claim that

they have not experienced some form of unrest or

violent protests by citizens. Therefore, citizens have

been involved on service delivery protests because

they were no longer satisfied with the status quo of

service provision or about the undelivered promises

of the elected government. In this regard, South

Africa has seen both, violent and non-violent protests, prior and post first democratically elected

government (Brown, 2017:3).

Service provision is a constitutional obligation in

terms of section 152 of the Constitution of the

Republic of South Africa, 1996, which lay obligations

to the municipalities that the objects of local government are: (a) to provide democratic and accountable

government for local communities; (b) to ensure the

provision of services to communities in a sustainable manner; (c) to promote social and economic

development; (d) to promote a safe and healthy

environment; and (e) to encourage the involvement

of communities and community organizations in

the matters of local government (Constitution of

Republic of South Africa, 1996). Therefore, South

African municipalities are legal obliged to ensure

the provision services as enshrined by the constitution. Mathebula (2014) indicates that most

service delivery protests have been about unfulfilled

objects of local government which often leads to

community members on street demanding for the

provision of services to communities.

How does this final stanza of ah are you digging on my grave use irony to disappoint the speakers expectation?
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

It uses irony to show that despite her expectation of being missed by someone, no one seemed to have the same sentiment. rather, she found that her dog was the one digging, not because he missed her but to bury his bone. He also added that he had forgotten she was buried there.

Explanation:

The final stanza of the poem <em>"Oh, Are You Digging On My Grave?"</em> by Thomas Hardy shows a dead woman expecting someone would remember her. The lines goes like this-

<u><em>"Mistress, I dug upon your grave </em></u>

<u><em>To bury a bone, in case </em></u>

<u><em>I should be hungry near this spot </em></u>

<u><em>When passing on my daily trot. </em></u>

<u><em>I am sorry, but I quite forgot </em></u>

<u><em>It was your resting-place."</em></u>

She heard someone digging her grave and then she began guessing who that would be, her husband 'who must have missed her' or her family or even her enemy. But it was none of them but rather her dog. Even then, she was happy to know that at least someone remembered her. Ironically, the dog wasn't there for her but rather to hide his bone in case he gets hungry on his walks. This irony in the scene's reality and the narrator's expectations shows how she must have been missed by someone. But it was nobody except her dog who wants to hide his bone not because he felt anything for her. Not only that, he also mentioned that he had quite forgotten that she was buried there.
