BBC Africa Debate

Available for over a year

It’s been 20 years since South Africa’s first democratic elections, which ushered in a new era of political freedom for millions of South Africans. On 7 May 2014, in the county’s fifth democratic general election, a generation of young people born into a country free of racial segregation votes for the first time. Has democracy delivered for South Africa? What will democracy look like in another 20 years? (Photo: A rally for the 1994 general election in South Africa, BBC)
