South Africans are angry about growing corruption, and that the politically well-connected seem to be the main beneficiaries of democracy, researchers said on Friday.
“It is a season of grievance,” the Institute of Justice and Reconciliation’s (IJR) Susan Brown said in Johannesburg.
Brown, the IJR’s political programme manager, and IJR director Professor Charles Villa-Vicencio presented the findings of the IJR’s 2006 transformation audit.
Brown edited the report, titled “Money and Morality”.
The audit shows how far South Africa has come in economic transformation and how far it still has to go.
Brown said there was huge anger among citizens over a perceived lack of delivery and lack of access to a closed elite.
“They (this elite) look perhaps to the next election but never to the next generation,” said Brown.
