This article presents the author's views on the various socio-political issues in South Africa. The author evaluates that the victory of South African democracy is not that it has begun to transform lives stunted and impoverished by apartheid. For despite a couple of presidential proclamations like free lunches for school kids and free medical care for all children under 6 and pregnant women and the promulgation of a Land Restitution Act, little has been done, in these first six months of the Nelson Mandela government, to change people's lives in any physical way.
