Question 1
How can citizens hold public officials accountable in a democratic society?
Provide examples of accountability mechanisms in South Africa. (25)
In a democratic society, citizens have various ways to hold public officials
accountable. These mechanisms ensure transparency, prevent abuse of
power, and promote good governance. Here are several key accountability
mechanisms:
1. Elections
• Free and Fair Elections: Regular, free, and fair elections allow
citizens to choose their representatives and remove those who are
not performing well. In South Africa, elections are held every five
years for national and provincial legislatures.
• Electoral Commission: The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC)
in South Africa ensures that elections are conducted impartially,
efficiently, and in accordance with the law.
2. Legislative Oversight
• Parliamentary Committees: These committees, such as the Standing
Committee on Public Accounts (SCOPA), scrutinize government
