Development in Post-Apartheid South AfricaEdition 1

This book seeks to provide an in-depth analysis of the political, governance, and socio-economic landscape of South Africa in the aftermath of apartheid. It examines the complexities and dynamics that have influenced and shaped the development of the country since 1994, identifying the enduring issues and challenges, along with the opportunities present for building a sustainable and inclusive South Africa in the future.

The book aims to enhance comprehension of how South Africa can traverse its distinctive development trajectory by examining the wider political context, governance structures, and policy measures. The objective is to analyse the impact of the political and governance structures instituted in the post-apartheid era on the country's developmental path. This encompasses the transformation of public administration and the influence of political dynamics and governance in determining the trajectory of the country's future.

In this effort, the book not only explores significant accomplishments since 1994 but also engages in a critical examination of the limitations, governmental shortcomings, and challenges that persistently obstruct the progress of the country. Furthermore, it presents insights and recommendations aimed at enhancing governance, enacting policy reforms, and devising strategies to foster sustainable development.
