• 'Rainbow Index’
  The ANC sees the proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow as lying in a national democratic revolution and ambitious new forms of social engineering. Liberals believe it lies rather in the maintenance of political and economic freedoms. The Institute’s new ‘Rainbow Index’ tracks developments in ten policy areas and scores the country’s performance on each. Analysis and scores for the first 15 years of democracy are contained in a new book, Chasing the Rainbow: South Africa’s Move from Mandela to Zuma. Those for 2009/2010 are to be found here and in the May issue of Fast Facts.
