Abstract

South Africa, a country that experienced the apartheid state, is home to renowned humanitarians and has undergone significant political transformation. With a Black president and a predominantly Black governing party, it appears to tick many of the boxes associated with racial equality. But this encouraged me to question whether this means South Africa has ‘overcome’ race as a social issue.
