Development strategies in post-apartheid South Africa
The article provides an overview of the development strategies adopted by South Africa's post-apartheid government. It argues that the initial vision of redistribution and state-led growth was replaced with a policy of fiscal restraint and market-led growth in 1996. The latter has largely been unsuccessful in achieving its goals. The conclusion proposes that an exclusive focus on fiscal restraint seems insufficient to deliver broad-based prosperity, and that increasing social and political pressure from factions within the governing alliance are likely to lead to a reorientation of development efforts.
