Twenty years on from South Africa’s first democratic election, the
post-apartheid political order is more fractured, and more
fractious, than ever before. Police violence seems the order of the
day – whether in response to a protest in Ficksburg or a public
meeting outside a mine in Marikana. For many, this has signalled
the end of the South African dream. Politics, they declare, is the
preserve of the corrupt, the self-interested, the incompetent and
the violent. They are wrong. In South Africa’s insurgent citizens,
Julian Brown argues that a new kind of politics can be seen on the
streets and in the courtrooms of the country. This politics is made
by a new kind of citizen – one that is neither respectful nor
passive, but instead insurgent. The collapse of the dream of a
consensus politics is not a cause for despair. South Africa’s
political order is fractured, and in its cracks new forms of
activity, new leaders and new movements are emerging.
