soc.culture.south-africa
South Africa and its people.
From the last apartheid years through the 1994 election and the Mandela era, soc.culture.south-africa carried one of the network’s most consequential national conversations — sanctions, negotiation, the TRC — between South Africans at home and a large emigrant diaspora.
Rugby, cricket and load-of-history arguments filled the years between elections; the group’s archive tracks the transition in real time.
