Bhaso Ndzendze suggests that the key difference in state performance between the pre-democratic and democratic periods is that no South African president since Nelson Mandela has held a ministerial portfolio, and argues that (re)initiating double roles for sitting presidents in future administrations would guarantee transparency towards presidential performance.
Bhaso Ndzendze is Associate Professor of Politics and International Relations at the University of Johannesburg, and Vice-Dean in the Faculty of Humanities.
