Abstract

Ten years ago, on 27 April 1994, a democracy was born when Nelson Mandela was inaugurated as first president of the new Republic of South Africa. The world's attention was focused on a small country on the southern tip of Africa where a political miracle ensured a remarkably peaceful transition of power. Judged against other wellestablished democracies, ten years down the line, ours is a vibrant but still fledgling democracy grappling with the realities of effecting radical social transformation, securing economic development and building a united nation where peace and stability are sustainable.
