Quick Glance: Young South Africans Reconsidering Nelson Mandela's Heritage
- Kenneth Khoza is canvassing near Vilakazi Street for the uMkhonto we Sizwe party, named after the former armed wing of the African National Congress.
- Some young South Africans are questioning Mandela's legacy due to the deep disillusionment in the country marked by unemployment, crime, and racial inequality.
- There is a growing critique of the ruling ANC party, as some believe Mandela and the leadership of the liberation era should have taken more radical measures to correct the injustices of the apartheid era.
- While the ANC is expected to emerge as the largest party in the elections, polls suggest increasing dissatisfaction with its performance, potentially ushering in a new era of coalition politics.

dailymaverick.co.za/article/2024-04-07-naledi-pandor-is-treading-the-pik-botha-path-to-sas-diplomatic-oblivion/
Quick Glance: South Africa's Foreign Policy Under Scrutiny
- In a mirror image of Pik Botha’s missions during apartheid to sell South Africa's 'good intentions' to the US, International Relations and Cooperation Minister Naledi Pandor is striving to defend her government's somewhat battered foreign policy.
- South Africa seems to believe that maintaining good relations with the White House allows it to challenge US sentiments, values, and interests in international relations without jeopardizing its economic ties.
- Following the Ukraine invasion and our misguided stance, it is crucial for South Africa to rediscover its democratic foundations and advocate for ordinary people across the continent who seek transparent and accountable freely elected governments.
- A recurring pattern emerges: South Africa takes hasty positions and hastily retraces its steps when faced with diplomatic repercussions. The ANC now confronts the chilly winds of disapproval, struggling to cope, partly due to its overwhelming commitment to sanctimonious ideological rhetoric that clouds its judgment.
