A MORE DEMOCRATIC SOUTH AFRICA NOW! EMERGING BL...

Where does South Africa go? Since the dawn of democracy in 1994  the country has been ruled by
the former liberation movement  the African National Congress (ANC). Formerly a beacon of hope
for most South Africans  the perception of the party has changed. Striking miners  corruption
scandals  alleged restrictions on the freedom of the media and cadre employment pose challenges
to the rainbow nation and its democracy. But there is also a lot of hope around the Cape: the
liberation of South Africa from apartheid gave way to a new generation of young South Africans
the emerging black middle class. Well-educated and highly motivated to work and achieve  this
group of people benefits from the lifted restrictions and new opportunities in post-apartheid
South Africa. But will it also contribute to the consolidation and further development of
democracy in the country? Research in western nations suggests that the middle class is
fostering the development of democracy. But does this relation also hold for the emerging black
middle class in South Africa? This study tries to shed some light on this extremely relevant
and though neglected issue. It draws a picture of the emerging black middle class attitudes
towards democracy and assesses how this group relates to democracy.
