More than three decades after the fall of apartheid, the spectre of its legacy still casts a long, divisive shadow over South Africa’s democracy. Apartheid Didn’t Die is a powerful indictment of the persistent structures of racial power and economic inequality that continue to shape the nation. Professor Mandla J Radebe confronts the unsettling truth that for many, the democratic era has not dismantled the architecture of apartheid – it has merely repainted it. He interrogates the role of the media in shaping public consciousness and maintaining elite hegemony. Through explorations of the endurance of racial capitalism, and sharp media and political analysis, Apartheid Didn’t Die challenges us to reckon with the unfinished business of justice, and true liberation in South Africa.
