South Africa's path forward, Triumph for democracy in Senegal, African diasporas and democratisation: Visa webbversion Newsletter   June/July 2024 Reshaping politics: South Africa's path forward Following the 29 May election, South African democracy has entered uncharted territory, with the African National Congress losing its majority for the first time since assuming power thirty years ago. In a series of videos, NAI researchers explore different facets of this shift and what it signifies for both the country and the continent at large.

With a third of Africans voting in this super election year, we explore the diaspora's impact on democratic processes.
