The politics section focuses on the outcome of the 2006 local government elections and issues of service delivery. The economy section examines the rapidly growing social welfare net, the state of our public health systems, and the topics of water and the environment, heritage and tourism. Violence against women, prison reform, the plight of South Africa's former guerrilla fighters, transformation in South African rugby and the post-apartheid role of the church all come under the spotlight in the society section. The volume concludes with a look at trends in the continuing involvement of South African business on the African continent, South Africa's part in the complex search for peace and stability in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the life of the vast Zimbabwean exile community in South Africa.  aAdult  aSouth Africa9116385  2Diplomatic relations  Economic history  Politics and government  Social conditions  South Africa  Since 1991  278746668  aJohn Daniel, Roger Southall & Jessica Lutchman, Vaun Cornell and Lee Smith, Christabel Hardacre, Mandla Mnyakama of Iliso Yabantu9191041  cJOURNAL 2ddcy12663zPriscilla Nozizwe Mogale  c457431d457430  00104070aTHEMLbTHEMLd2021-08-23g185.00l1p33228022278780r2024-01-10s2023-11-20w2021-08-23yBK  00102ddc40708300aMKHULbMKHULcNon_Fictiond2024-11-21o320.968 STATp33228 022893661r2024-11-21w2024-11-21yJOURNAL
