In 2015, South Africa celebrated its 21st anniversary as a
democratic state. This anniversary was in part boosted by the
largely successful rolling out of a fifth free and fair election
process in the previous year, albeit with minor hiccups - among
others, a vibrant and at times boisterous political party scene;
re-energised civil society participation, and a critical reflection
of the Chapter 9 institutions, with some under constant scrutiny.
However, South Africa's coming-of-age story has also been peppered
with signs of increased dissatisfaction with governmental decision
making and leadership style, protests around the delivery of
services, continuous development and poverty issues as well as
concerns about the republic's international conduct and its image
and reputation in Africa and the world. Government and politics in
South Africa provides an up-to-date introductory narrative on the
contemporary political environment in South Africa. Government and
politics in South Africa examines and evaluates the processes and
policies in place that drive South Africa every day. While most
chapters continue to reflect on the first two decades of
post-settlement South African politics and governments, particular
emphasis is placed upon the Jacob Zuma-led government's first term
of office (2009-2014), also touching on the initial months of this
head of state's second tenure as president. It examines the current
political sphere, the local, provincial and national government,
the policy footprint related to these governments, voting behaviour
and party politics, foreign policy and the global political
economy. Government and politics in South Africa is aimed at both
undergraduate and post-graduate students, and other interested
observers to the complexities of South African politics and the
governmental machinery that operates the country. Chris Landsberg
(editor-in-chief) is SARChI chair of African diplomacy and foreign
policy at the University of Johannesburg. Suzanne Graham
(co-editor) is senior lecturer and doctor of politics at the
University of Johannesburg.
