Transformation
Since 1994 the government has tried to change all facets of life for South Africans, through providing basic services to all, free primary healthcare to children and pregnant mothers. The country has also been accepted back into the international family of nations with sanctions both economic and cultural lifted.

Political
Since 1994 the ANC has consolidated its powerbase, presently with a 2/3 majority, which it gives it power to change the constitution to favour it. It has repeatedly said that it won’t change the constitution. This follows the “walk-over clause,” legislation that allows members of parliament from other party to join the ANC without losing their seats in parliament.

Parliament
Parliament used to be set up along the British model with the largest party winning the election. The New South Africa have adopted the European model that is more inclusive and is more in tune with a cosmopolitan society which South Africa has become. With 400 members of parliament, more than 66 percent of the members belong to the ANC.
