		Until 1994 South Africa was ruled by a white minority which considered itself superior, and which was so determined to hang onto power that it took activists most of the last century before they succeeded in their fight to get rid of apartheid and extend democracy to the rest of the population.
		South Africa faces major problems, but having held three successful national elections as well as local polls since the end of white rule, a democratic culture appears to be taking hold, allowing people at least some say in the search for solutions.
		South African presidents are chosen by the 400 members of the directly-elected National Assembly, one of the two houses of parliament.

	Establishing the truth about the apartheid past: Historians and the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission
		The South African democracy, born in 1994, succeeded nearly half a century of institutionalised racial discrimination and oppression under the apartheid system.
		Through the TRC, the South African state assumed the role of an organiser of the collective past and manufacturer of consent about a past that needed to be representative of at least a majority of the people.
		The TRC was understood as having a nation-building mandate to facilitate forgiveness and reconciliation between populations bitterly divided by generations of racial oppression and exploitation.

	South African general election: ANC wins overwhelming majority
		The African National Congress’s (ANC) overwhelming majority, nearly 70% of the vote, has predictably been hailed by its leadership and most of the media as a ringing endorsement of its policies.
		The increased vote for the DA (an offspring of the white liberal former Democratic Party that served as an opposition party under apartheid representing the interests of sections of big business) to 12.3% (1.7% 1994 and 8.5% in 1999) is due mainly to the fact that it benefited from the collapse of the NNP.
		The Cosatu leadership, as part of the Tripartite Alliance with the ANC and the South African Communist Party (which received only 4% support in the Cosatu survey), once again campaigned for an ANC vote despite their humiliation by Mbeki and SACP central committee members in his cabinet during the anti-privatisation general strike in 2002.

		The social, economic and political institutions of the African continent were designed to ensure survival and maximize numbers, but in the context of medical progress and other twentieth-century innovations these institutions have bred the most rapid population growth the world has ever seen.
		The history of the continent is thus a single story binding living Africans to the earliest human ancestors. In a vast and all-embracing study of Africa, from the origins of mankind to the South African general election of 1994, John Iliffe refocuses African history on the peopling of an environmentally hostile continent.
		Africans have been pioneers struggling against disease and nature, and their social, economic and political institutions have been designed to ensure survival and maximise numbers.

	The Need for Community Policing - African Defence Review No 18, 1994
		South Africa is a democratic country, with a democratic Interim Constitution, and a justifiable Bill of Rights, which guarantees and protects the rights of all the citizens.
		Undoubtedly, South Africa's new found political maturity was born out of the empowerment which the democratic process gave to the broad mass of South Africans.
		On the other side of the coin, the election of a new government does create the possibility for the establishment of effective and legitimate police-community consultative forums, the primary objectives of which should be to manage and negotiate conflicts which were previously resolved through force.

	South African Election - 2004
		The previous two elections (in 1994 and 1999) were won with large majorities by the ANC, in alliance with the SA Communist Party and Cosatu.
		It is generally accepted among informed observers that the '94 election produced a negotiated result, in view of the very late entry of the IFP into the fray and the resulting chaos with the ballot papers, especially in Kwazulu Natal.
		South Africans should accept tht ANC governs and it is the only party that can take care of their needs and interest.

		Under current law, employers can (and generally do) request a formal election before recognizing unions, a requirement that often creates long delays, expensive election campaigns, and, because the penalties for illegal employer activities are so light, all sorts of intimidation tactics against pro-union employees, ranging from firings to threats of layoffs and plant closings.

		A week before the South African general election of 1994 I touched down at Johannesburg airport to find that my colleague, the photographer Ken Oosterbroek, had just been blown away by a hostel-dweller’s bullet.
		Since 1994 well over a million houses have been connected to the national electricity grid, 800,000 people have received piped water for the first time, 110,000 flush toilets have been supplied, 1,300 clinics have been built and free primary healthcare has been introduced.
		There have been similar changes in areas such as welfare, land reform and employee rights – even if job creation is not keeping pace with population growth, too few houses are being built and far too much is being squandered through waste and corruption.
