You are cordially invited to attend the second release of Afrobarometer’s 2015 survey data, a lunchtime seminar on the state of South Africa’s democracy at 21. The event will form part of IJR’s Open Weeks.

The data will show snapshots of public attitudes and preferences towards democracy, immigration, and trade unions. The seminar, which will begin at 1pm February 9 at the IJR, will include a brief presentation and a question and answer session.

Mr Jan Hofmeyr, the head of the policy and analysis unit at IJR, will open the event. Followed by presentations of findings by Ms Rorisang Lekalake, Afrobarometer assistant project manager, and Mr Sibusiso Nkomo, Afrobarometer communications coordinator.

South Africa, now its 21st year as a democracy, is grappling with major socioeconomic and political “growing pains,” as citizens continually re-evaluate its role in their lives. Join us as we discuss these issues and their implications for the current democratic dispensation, and find out what South Africans are saying about where we are as a nation.
