The institutions of democracy are falling apart or being captured by a narrow and deeply corrupt elite built around Zuma. Its infrastructure is collapsing. Its economy cannot provide succor to the eight million who don’t have jobs.

Protests over service delivery are on the rise. Does South Africa have the resolve and the leadership to stem the slide?

Justice is based in New York and regularly travels to Johannesburg, South Africa.
