12 Higher Education Leadership in the Age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution Jaco Du Preez and Saurabh Sinha. Artificial intelligence is a key component of 4IR – the latter defined as a fusion of technologies that blur the boundaries between the physical, digital and biological spheres – building on the digitally driven third industrial revolution (Schwab, 2016). Universities like the University of Johannesburg (UJ) aim to "dynamically shape the future" and 4iR provides the perfect follow-up to this – the university's approach to 4iR encourages us to produce graduates who are able to think differently and differentiate themselves in that way.
To this extent, the analysis of the education system can be carried out in the context of the 4iR. The Fourth Industrial Revolution and Higher Education in the Era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
THE FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
The essay shows how the failure to meaningfully transform education and a segmented labor market will set the parameters for an elite industrial revolution. Increased production leading to reduced use of human energy led to the development of the factory system which led to specialization of functions and. The digitization of manufacturing and other industries has set the parameters for a monumental shift in the very nature of the global economy, and South Africa has not been left untouched.
However, for the purpose of this essay, there are two specific legacies of this history that require critical engagement in the context of 4IR. These race and gender disparities in the labor market are a microcosm of the broader disparities that Black women in particular must negotiate. These disciplines are central to the 4iR economy, and thus the realities of the racialized labor market and inequities in higher education have major implications for women, especially Black women.
As such, the solution to the potential crisis of the 4iR, leaving black women behind, lies in the transformation and decolonization of higher education. The ways knowledge is created in the age of the 4iR must also change. This is an example of the decolonization of technology, and should be central to efforts to include black women in the 4iR.
McGinnis, 2018), the 4IR is mainly concerned with the early transformation of the production of goods and services resulting from the application of a new wave of technological innovations.
POLITICAL ORGANISING AND MOBILISING IN THE AGE OF THE FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
While research on the implications of 4iR on businesses is growing, there is little impact on political organizations, especially in terms of mobilization and organization. Apparently, most of the support and criticism of 4iR focuses on industry and economics. Due to the nature of South African society in the apartheid era, as well as the rudimentary stage of technological progress at the time, political mobilization depended largely on recruitment and personal and physical commitment.
Like all component structures of the mass democratic movement, the YcLSA has its roots in the struggle against colonialism and apartheid. The Internet of Things (ioT), a key feature of 4iR, has further obliterated traditional geopolitical boundaries. The implications for mobilization and organizing are particularly significant for an organization like YCLSA, which is dedicated to the interests of the young people it seeks to mobilize.
Perhaps of greater importance, the use of advanced technology can also address one of the greatest dangers to South Africa's fledgling democracy: young people's dissociation from voice. Professor Bruce Watson, head of the department of information science at Stellenbosch University, argued in the past that South Africa should introduce e-voting. Gauteng is the nerve center of South Africa's economy - contributing to a third of the country's economic output in 2018.
The Nigerian government is aware of the importance of ICT: it regularly holds conferences. By O.A.
THE FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION AND NIGERIA
At the end of the year, there is a surplus that the lot owners have available to consume. One of the key factors in the cost model of ICT is high initial capital costs and very low marginal costs. For example, despite the existence of the cFA zone (Central and West) for over 70 years, its states remain some of the poorest in the world.
A close examination of CFA and SACU There are both advantages and disadvantages to the cFA currency. Signé is of the opinion that the monetary policy in cFA has been effective in achieving real exchange rate depreciation, which resulted in a reduction in public expenditure. As a positive effect, the unlimited convertibility of the cFA franc to the euro has generally reduced the risk of foreign investment in cFA countries.
So for almost all intents and purposes, the 14 countries in the CFA franc currency union use the same currency and this currency can be considered a version of the euro (Coppola, 2019). Third (and rather surprisingly in the context of anti-colonial sentiment), the collapse of the CFA seems to have made its benefits more apparent. CFA is pegged to fixed interest rates, which works well with the non-diversified yield holdings that CFA offers.
The boom and other fluctuations in the market mean that the exchange rate of cFA is relatively unaffected. So, although it is often described as a neo-colonialist system, the economic rationality of the cFA franc cannot be ignored. The American election cycle is one of the most watched political events of the twenty-first century.
GOOGLING THE US ELECTORAL CYCLE, 2004-2016
This disproportionate share of digital spending is indicative of what researchers have called the rise of computational politics, defined by one study as “the application of digital marketing technologies targeted to election campaigns” (Chester and Montgomery, 2017: 1). The conclusion is that tied-hand commitment strategies (i.e., creating audience costs (potentially unpopular decisions) that will suffer after the fact if they fail to commit to the threat or commitment made (Fearon were most preferred when looming presidential elections, Gadarian's paper uses data from 1980 to 2004 to demonstrate that opposing political candidates in the American system face different incentives to mention foreign policy during their campaigns.
The second part is a breakdown of the methodology used in the article and US election cycles. Bush in November was above the global average, although John Kerry's global search average was higher than South Africa's in the same month. The majority of searches occurred in the North West province with the highest rate and Gauteng province with the lowest rate.
The majority of searches for the candidates took place most in the Gauteng province and least in the Northern Cape (Nc) province. This marks the only instance in the dataset where a search for an unsuccessful candidate outperformed South African searches for Barack Obama. The majority of searches for the candidates in 2012 took place most in Gauteng Province and least in Northern Cape Province.
The highest number of candidate searches in 2016 was in the Wc province and the lowest in the FS province.
THE RUSSIA-AFRICA SUMMIT AND ECONOMIC FORUM
The relevance of this Declaration at the present time was confirmed last year by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the case of the Chagos Archipelago. The revival of Russian-African relations is in large part the result of the general change in Russia's position in the world. The deterioration of relations with the central states forced Russia to change its almost exclusive orientation towards the West.
Russia's African policy is very briefly defined in the Concept of the Foreign Policy adopted by the Decree of President Putin in 2016. The Representative of the Russian Federation in the UNSc was diplomatic but unequivocally clear about the position of the West: "African countries presented a lot. persuasive arguments. Nevertheless, the conclusion that the non-participation of the Parliament in the procedure for withdrawing from the ICC Statute is “unconstitutional” seems to be an excessive exaggeration.
At the time, Russia supported South Africa in the UN Security Council by confirming that the legal position of the South African government (not the judiciary) was correct. Another big topic discussed at the summit and forum was the development of the energy sector, especially nuclear energy. Concept of foreign policy of the Russian Federation (approved by the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin on November 30, 2016).

Mohamed Enver Surty’s
The autobiography is a sustained and prosaic account of the author's life story and his contribution to the Bill of Rights, which was successfully incorporated into the South African constitution, representing the nation's ideal of a non-sexist, non-sexist society. racial and straight. The book's introduction outlines the purpose of the work, along with a brief description of its structure. An official description of Surty's career on the South African Government website states that: “He was a member of the management committee of the Constituent Assembly and negotiator for the ANc on the Bill of Rights for the period 1994-1996.
This formative period did much to prepare me for the grueling public life made so much easier by the loving embrace of comrades ... The third section looks at some of my memorable times in politics, first during the drafting of the Constitution, then in parliament a senator and later chief whip, and finally in the executive branch as deputy minister and former minister of justice” (2019). Surty's narrative plunges into the distant past at the most appropriate and unexpected times, thus subtly interweaving with delicate artistry the stories of his childhood, youth and manhood, in an artistic attempt to achieve a sense of unity in a life already lived , without any noticeable break between the various events of his life. In section two of the book, we find Surty ensconced in his own legal office in the city of Rustenburg during the height of apartheid.
Here we have three examples of his excellent litigation technique and a strong affirmation of the need for consultation, both in the pre-trial phase and with members of the then nationalist government. The third part of the book focuses on his political career and gives readers a unique insight into the inner workings of government. He also had a correct understanding of the philosophical foundations of OBE, without mentioning the names of the philosophers who had stimulated the movement.
For those interested in constitutional law and the inner workings of South African government, this book is an excellent introduction to the confluence of law and politics.
