Synopsis "South Africa: The Need for Change"

Has the new South Africa - once an inspiring "rainbow nation" - failed the expectations it had generated? Is the country now in a crisis? Two decades after the end of the apartheid regime, Africa's southernmost state faces multiple political, economic and social challenges. A lackluster growth performance is compounded by mounting corruption and political turbulence, as well as by the frustration of many ordinary citizens who expected much more rapid social and economic improvement. Labour strikes, student protests and anti-immigrant riots have all been on the rise. As a clear sign of increasing dissatisfaction, uncertainty and decline, the ruling African National Congress recently ran into its worst electoral result ever - if still only at local levels. Meanwhile, Jacob Zuma's embattled presidency, marred by allegations of corruption and political cronyism, sent South Africa's international image plummeting alongside the Rand, the national currency. This volume sheds light on the current difficulties and discusses future prospects. The "new" South Africa is a country in dire need for change. Giovanni Carbone. (PhD, London School of Economics), ISPI Senior Associate Research Fellow, Head of the Africa Programme, and Associate Professor of Political Science at the Università degli Studi di Milano. He was Research Associate at the Crisis States Programme of the LSE (2001-2010) and the Principal Investigator of an ERC-funded research project (2010-2015).
