The ANC and Post-Apartheid South Africa Quo Vadis: One Hundred Years Going on Twenty
![]() |
As we enter the second decade of the 21st century, South Africa is three years away from celebrating twenty years of freedom. The likelihood is that the African National Congress (ANC) will be celebrating twenty years in power. What have those twenty years meant to South Africa?
• Has freedom delivered a better life for all
South Africans?
• Is a developmental state that effectively
delivers on a social and economic transformation agenda linked to making the country competitive as an emerging power within the realm
of possibility in South Africa?
• Is there a future for the ANC-COSATU
(Congress of South African Trade Unions)-
SACP (South African Communist Party)
alliance?
• What is South Africa’s position in the changing
balance of global forces?
