Abstract: | This special issue of 'Politikon' on non-racialism in South Africa contains papers presented at a conference organized by the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation in October 2011. The papers were derived from a series of 18 focus groups conducted around South Africa during July and August 2011. Key themes that emerged from the discussions include the acceptance of racist tendencies by adults and their hope (dream?) that their children will not do as their parents have done; the virulent racism expressed by all groups towards those seen as closest to them (and thus their closest competitor) on the economic ladder; and ongoing anger at whites from some, but acceptance from others. It appears that non-racialism, which lacks a specific meaning, also lacks any status as a political project. It has been de-linked from the political arena, where taking control of 'the commanding heights of the economy' is a priority facing government. Non-racialism has been left as a social project for citizens to work out for themselves.
