Description: Twenty years on from South Africa's first democratic election the post - apartheid political order is more fractured and more fractious than ever before. Police violence seems the order of the day whether in response to a protest in Ficksburg or a public meeting outside a mine in Marikana. For many this has signalled the end of the South African dream. Politics they declare is the preserve of the corrupt the self - interested the incompetent and the violent. They are wrong. Julian Brown argues that a new kind of politics can be seen on the streets and in the courtrooms of the country. This politics is made by a new kind of citizen one that is neither respectful nor passive but instead insurgent. The collapse of the dream of a consensus politics is not a cause for despair. South Africa's political order is fractured and in its cracks new forms of activity new leaders and new movements are emerging.
