The Good Story ended when Jacob Zuma was Elected
Today, the presidency presented a twenty year composite review of the performance of the government since South Africa's first democratic elections.
Executive accountability is important in democracy, and we will be closely studying its findings including the quantitative methodology used. We will release a detailed response.
President Zuma provided a lengthy introduction on the achievements of the first five years of democracy.
President Nelson Mandela's huge achievements in redressing the wrongs of apartheid and in reconciling South Africans are indisputable. Equally undisputed is the fact that South Africa is a much better place to live in than it was prior to 1994.
The DA also acknowledges that there was a line of quality leadership from May 1994 to September 2008 when President Mbeki was recalled. In the first few years of President Mbeki's administration, the economy grew, jobs were created and inequality fell.
