| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article takes stock of the achievements and the shortcomings of post-apartheid South Africa, notably under the stewardship of Presidents Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki. It analyses the implications of the General Elections held in April 2009 and offers some insights into the likely direction that a government headed by President Jacob Zuma will take over the coming months. The author argues, among other things, that the next five years will be crucial to the consolidation and promotion of constitutional democracy in South Africa, which in turn will determine the political future of the rest of sub-Saharan Africa. |
