Prologue : Nelson Mandela : political saint in a new democracy -- The alliance in power : who rules South Africa? -- Regional government -- The RDP : delivery and performance -- Land reform -- Local government reform -- Municipal elections 2000 -- Countering corruption -- Democracy in a dominant party system -- Truth and reconciliation -- Civic movements and associational life -- The African renaissance -- The Mbeki presidency.
Review: "This insightful study, now completely revised and in its second edition, examines the pattern of politics that has emerged in South Africa under the Mandela and Mbeki administrations. In considering the changes brought about in power relations in the country since 1994, the book looks at, among other things, the shape of regional and local politics; land reform; the Truth and Reconciliation Commission; and the extent of political corruption. Further chapters consider the future prospects of South African democracy and provide assessments of both Nelson Mandela and his successor, Thabo Mbeki."--BOOK JACKET.
