What are the contemporary events that can showcase the nature of a transformating South Africa
Answers
Answer:
The 2014 national election, which marked 20 years of democracy in South Africa, confirmed the limited nature of the transformation. As widely predicted, the ANC was able to brush off political scandals, rampant corruption, sluggish economic growth and public protests to win its fifth successive election victory. However, it has not been able to brush off the many protests that manifest themselves throughout the country, in workplaces and communities where the lack of transformation is most keenly felt.
South Africa since 1994 transitioned from the system of apartheid to one of majority rule. The election of 1994 resulted in a change in government with the African National Congress (ANC) coming to power. The ANC retained power after subsequent elections in 1999, 2004, 2009 and 2014.
Despite improvement since the end of apartheid, poverty and unemployment remain high. It can be politically dangerous for a government in power when a positive trajectory is interrupted, as poverty reduction among Blacks and Coloureds has been. South Africa's rate of economic growth has also been low
