Abstract
Since 2003, the political, social and sociocultural views of people living in South Africa have undergone significant shifts. The biggest change has been a negative shift in political attitudes, while progress in relation to interpersonal attitudes is mixed. Indicators on LGBTQI views, for example, have become more progressive, but the same is not true for attitudes towards foreign nationals, suggesting different underlying factors. Ben Roberts spoke to Andrea Teagle about the HSRC's South African Social Attitudes Survey series, and what these trends mean for the state of the country.-
