The preamble to the post-apartheid South African constitution
states that 'South Africa belongs to all who live in it, united in
our diversity' and promises to 'lay the foundations for a
democratic and open society in which government is based on the
will of the people and every citizen is equally protected by law'
and to 'improve the quality of life of all citizens'. This would
seem to commit the South African government to, amongst other
things, the implementation of policies aimed at fostering a common
sense of South African national identity, at societal dev- opment
and at reducing of levels of social inequality. However, in the
period of more than a decade that has now elapsed since the end of
apartheid, there has been widespread discontent with regard to the
degree of progress made in connection with the realisation of these
constitutional aspirations. The 'limits to liberation' in the
post-apartheid era has been a theme of much recent research in the
?elds of sociology and political theory (e. g. Luckham, 1998;
Robins, 2005a). Linguists have also paid considerable attention to
the South African situation with the realisation that many of the
factors that have prevented, and are continuing to prevent,
effective progress towards the achievement of these constitutional
goals are linguistic in their origin.
