, Question 1 How can citizens hold public officials accountable in
a democratic society? Provide examples of accountability
mechanisms in South Africa. (25)
Introduction
In a democratic society, accountability of public officials is
crucial to ensuring transparent, responsible, and responsive
governance. Accountability mechanisms are designed to check
the power of public officials and hold them responsible for their
actions and decisions. In South Africa, various mechanisms exist
to hold public officials accountable. This essay will explore how
citizens can hold public officials accountable and provide
examples of accountability mechanisms in South Africa.
Accountability Mechanisms
1. Elections
o Regular Elections: Citizens can hold public officials
accountable through regular, free, and fair elections.
By voting, citizens have the power to elect or remove
public officials based on their performance.
o Case Example: The 2019 South African general
election where citizens voted for members of the
National Assembly and provincial legislatures.
2. Parliamentary Oversight
o Parliamentary Committees: These committees
scrutinize government actions and expenditures. They
can summon officials to answer questions and provide
reports.
