JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - Twenty years since the end of apartheid.

Twenty years since South Africa held its historic first democratic elections, and people of all races had their say at last, choosing Nelson Mandela to be their president.

The anniversary of that day, April 27, 1994, is now a public holiday - Freedom Day. This year South Africans are preparing to go to the polls again, with elections scheduled for May 7. It will be only the fifth general election held since the end of racist white minority rule, and the first since Mandela's death.

Mandela's party, the African National Congress, has ruled for all of those 20 years. Two decades on, where is South Africa on its road to fulfill Mandela's vision - that of a united, non-racial, non-sexist, democratic and prosperous society?

There have been big changes in this country. Mostly for the good.
The lights are on at more South African homes

Creative Commons/ Adrian Frith/ Commenter

In 1994-1995, just 50.9 percent of South African households had access to electricity, according to a government performance review. By 2012, that figure had rocketed to 85.3 percent, Statistics South Africa's general household survey found.

The murder rate has more than halved

In 1994, South Africa's murder rate was 66.9 per 100,000 people, according to the Institute for Security Studies. In 2012-2013, it was 31.3 per 100,000 people, the South African Police Service said.

So while it is still extremely high (the US, in comparison, has a homicide rate of 4.7 per 100,000), South Africa has fewer than half the murders it did two decades ago.
More South Africans are living in proper houses, rather than structures like this:

The proportion of households living in formal dwellings increased from 65.1 percent in 1996 to 77.6 percent in 2011, according to Statistics South Africa, a government body. The proportion living in informal dwellings (read: shacks) decreased from 16.2 to 13.6 percent.

But some of the changes are not so great.
South Africa is more economically unequal than ever

According to the World Bank, South Africa's Gini coefficient - a measure of income inequality - increased from 0.59 in 1993 to of 0.63 in 2009, making this country one of the most unequal societies in the world.
Corruption has gotten worse

South Africa ranked 21st of 42 countries on Transparency International's corruptions perceptions index in 1995. In 2004, it ranked 44th of 145 countries. By last year South Africa's ranking had slid to 72nd of 177 countries.

The World Bank produces annual worldwide governance indicators. In 2012, South Africa's control of corruption was ranked 113th out of 210 countries.

Young people have stopped registering to vote
Remember 1994, when millions of South Africans lined up to cast their ballots over a three-day voting period?

Voters line up on 28 April 1994 in South Africa's first multi-racial elections at the Zevenfontein squatter camp. (Kevin Carter/AFP/Getty Images)

Well this year, only 33.6 percent of eligible "born free" voters - meaning South Africans born after 1994 - have registered for upcoming elections. This means that more than a million born frees won't be casting their ballots.

In comparison, 60 percent of South Africans in their twenties are registered to vote, and more than 90 percent of people older than 30 are registered.

This youth voter rate overall is comparable - probably even less - than that of the United States, where voter turnout among 18- to 24-year-olds declined from 48.5 percent in 2008 to 41.2 percent in 2012, according to the US Census Bureau.

South Africa's official tone about civic duty has changed in the past 20 years. The lead-up to the 1994 vote had been chaotic, and the country's electoral commission was desperate to convince South Africans that the vote would go ahead.

"Like all births, the birth of our democracy is not without pain. But it will be a time of joy and of hope for the future":

Now, it's a matter of convincing people to vote because hey, South Africa is a pretty darn good country:

Perhaps some fresh "Rock the Vote"-type ads are in order for South Africa ...

Other things haven't changed much ... or at all.
South Africa has one of the highest unemployment rates in the world

The official unemployment rate in 1994 was around 20 percent, according to Statistics South Africa. The most recent quarterly labor force survey reported an unemployment rate of 24.1 percent.

Under an "expanded rate" of unemployment, which includes people who have stopped actively looking for work, this rate rose from 31.5 percent in 1994 to 34 percent in the last quarter of 2013.
The architecture of apartheid hasn't really changed

( Adrian Frith/Creative Commons)

Apartheid legislation forced people of different races and ethnic groups to live separately. Today, many of those neighborhoods haven't changed. "The legacy of apartheid is still very clearly visible," wrote Cape Town web developer Adrian Frith, who made maps like the one above based on 2001 and 2011 census data. "I suppose that was to be expected."
White people still earn much more than black people

According to the 2011 census, the incomes of black South African households grew by 169 percent over the preceding decade. But white South Africans still earn six times as much money.

The average annual income of black South African households is R60,613 (about $5,700), while for white-headed households it is R365,134 ($34,300). On a positive note - overall, household incomes more than doubled during the 10 years from 2001 to 2011.
There are things called 'service delivery protests'

Courtesy: The Social Change Research Unit at the University of Johannesburg

A continued lack of basic government services - things like water, sanitation and electricity - have led to mounting frustrations in poorer communities, and increased numbers of violent protests. Demonstrators throw rocks at cars, burn down community libraries and battle police.

"There have been limited gains for the working class in post-apartheid South Africa," according to the University of Johannesburg's Social Change Research Unit. "The frustration is such people are willing to lose something for their cause."

As the baccalaureate exam for the oral comprehension will be in March, here is a little reminder of the email I sent on the 18th of September:
"Je vous envoie une plateforme qui regroupe des enregistrements audio (d'environ 1'30, parfois plus longs) accompagnés de leur script pour vous entraîner pour l'épreuve de compréhension orale. Je les ai plus ou moins classés par ordre de difficulté (en fonction du vocabulaire employé, de la rapidité de l'énonciation des locuteurs, du bruit environnant), de A2/B1 à B1/B2.

Voici le lien vers les documents: https://padlet.com/felter/co20172018

Vous trouverez également de nombreux fichiers audio accompagnés de leur scrit (avec des niveaux très variés, de "level 1" à "level 6", et des vitesses de lecture différentes) ici:
https://breakingnewsenglish.com/

Pour augmenter ensuite le niveau de difficulté, je vous encourage tous vivement à écouter régulièrement des journaux télévisés ou des podcasts. Ces deux sites pourraient vous être utiles:

- pour s'entraîner à la compréhension de l'anglais britannique: http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/features/6-minute-english

Chaque podcast est accompagné de quelques questions, d'une liste de vocabulaire et du transcript. Si vous cliquez sur l'onglet "News Report", vous avez la même chose sur l'actualité.

- pour se familiariser avec l'anglais américain:

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/

Vous trouverez le transcript sous chaque video."

Happy holidays and see you in January 2019!
