Synopsis

I spoke to Angelo two days before the South African general election. Angelo is a political analyst, writer and head of research at ASRI. Angelo has worked as an academic and broadcaster before taking up his current post. We chatted about South Africa's political progress over the last 25 years, the state of the democratic project and some of the challenges facing our political structures such as the party list system and literacy. And the weakness of the main opposition parties and the incapacity of these parties to make significant inroads into the ANC support base despite years of government failure at many levels. Angelo speaks about his hope in the youth while at the same time noting the extremely low youth registration figures for this election cycle. Read more about ASRI [here](http://www.asri.org.za/).
