Abstract

[In South Africa, The Political System is Firmly and Exclusively Controlled by the middle class, a small political and business elite whose racial composition has changed over time. Following the transition from apartheid to majority rule in 1994, political power has been transferred from the white middle class (represented by the National Party) to the African middle class, represented by the African National Congress (ANC). The South African elite is composed of a small, multiracial, middle class made up of Africans, Indians, people of mixed parentage (African/Indian/European/Malay), and whites. Politically, this middle class elite includes members of the ANC, the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), the New National Party (NNP), and the South African Communist Party (SACP). These various parties and individuals all benefit as associates of the white national bourgeoisie and of (local and foreign) capital.]
