Democracy Reimagined: Evolution Challenges and Future Prospects in South Africa webinar

UNISA SBL is delighted to invite you to the second instalment of our discussion "Democracy in Africa". This event provides a dialogue reflecting on the aftermath of the recent elections in South Africa and their implications for governance, the economy and the citizens. This post-election conversation will focus on the following pressing questions:

• What to make of the election results?
• What are the prospects and threats the 'Government of National Unity' poses? Are we getting closer to the rainbow nation? The transformation agenda?
• What is the future of opposition in the 7th administration?
• Is our democracy debilitating or maturing?
• What is the role of key stakeholders (e.g. Business)?
