'Can liberation movements like the ANC ensure a strong democracy?'
by Helene Maria Kyed
Summary:
During Nelson Mandela's reign, South Africa was the exception. In the rest of
Southern Africa, liberation has not led to genuine democratization and
reconciliation.
The liberation movements, which took over the government after the colonial era,
are still in power and severely compromise political diversity. Will the same
happen to the ANC?
There is a continuity of political practices and discourses that leave meager
room for genuine political opposition. It is only the liberation fighters who
can legitimately lead the countries.
It is important to keep in mind that liberation and elections are not synonymous
with the development of a strong democracy.
