This report examines how post-apartheid social movements in South Africa emerged in the context of its transition to democracy. It explores the background of conflict between the state and impoverished communities, centered on basic socioeconomic needs. The authors show that the resurgence of popular, grassroots organizations has altered South Africa's political landscape, and that antagonism between organizations and the state has resulted in conflicts surrounding the delivery of basic services. They argue that minimizing such conflict requires strategies that enhance democracy and facilitate dialogue across sectors and actors.
