Since 1994, there have been many significant achievements with respect to South Africa?s democracy. While South Africa is stable relative to other states in sub-Saharan Africa, and has established strong institutional structures and processes to promote democratic decision-making, citizens face significant challenges on a daily basis. A lack of jobs, growing corruption, unequal education, and less vibrant civil society associations have resulted in many South Africans growing dissatisfied with the current democratic regime. How is this dissatisfaction expressed in today?s South Africa? What are citizens doing to hold government accountable? How is the government responding?
