South African Democracy in the Context of Post-Apartheid State Capture

The fourth instalment of the democracy dialogue series entitled "The Polycrisis of Carbon Democracy: ideas for a new global transformative social contract", organized by the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation's Southern Africa Office, features a presentation from Dr. Dale McKinley. The webinar contextualises South Africa’s post-apartheid state capture and anti-constitutional ideologies by the ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC). Furthermore, the webinar links the post-1994 political environment that encourages looting of state and public resources by the political elite in South Africa to the historical context and formation of the ANC, whose leaders sought to access and deracialize the political system rather than overthrow it.
