Question 1
How can citizens hold public officials accountable in a democratic society? Provide examples of
accountability mechanisms in South Africa. (25)
Citizens can hold public officials accountable in a democratic society through various
mechanisms that ensure transparency, integrity, and responsiveness of those in power. These
mechanisms empower citizens to monitor, evaluate, and influence the actions of public officials.
Here are some key accountability mechanisms in South Africa:
### 1. **Elections**
- **Regular Elections:** Citizens exercise their right to vote and choose their representatives at
regular intervals. This process ensures that public officials remain responsive to the electorate's
needs.
- **Free and Fair Elections:** The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) oversees elections
to ensure they are free and fair, maintaining the integrity of the democratic process.
### 2. **Judicial Review and Legal Recourse**
- **Constitutional Court:** Citizens can challenge the actions of public officials and the
constitutionality of laws through the Constitutional Court. This ensures that public officials
adhere to the Constitution.
