What happened to the white left?

A striking feature of the post-1994 period is the retreat from politics of many white people who were part of the active resistance to apartheid. Democratic South Africa has fallen short of their hopes, and there is a sense of not identifying wholeheartedly with the new order. Some believe that their contributions have been insufficiently recognised; they feel that whites have been ”marginalised”.
